Jason: But I do know what I get from you, Elizabeth. You're so beautiful. Smart. You make me see things I've never even noticed until you've pointed them out. You have a lot of dreams and that's good because I...I hardly have any, so I can believe in yours. That's what you bring to me. What can I give you? Motorcycle rides and pool lessons? That's about it.
Elizabeth: You listened when no one else could hear me. You trusted me to live my own life when I didn't even trust myself. You make me happy. You make me feel free.
Jason: Ok. She wants me to be with her, ok?. Elizabeth wants me to meet her in secret. She's willing to lie to be with me. I tell her that there's too much at risk and she's willing to take that chance.
Jason: I love Elizabeth. We have a child together. I don't want to be with anybody else.
Elizabeth: I love you the way you are.
Jason: I love you so much. You're perfect. I wish I could spend the rest of my life with you...
Jason: I've always wanted to be with Elizabeth.
Jason: AJ... you are nothing.
Jason: Just tell me what you need.
Emily: I need to figure out how to die. That's what happening even though no one will come out and say it. And I don't know - I don't know how to make it ok for them. They're all so terrified and I have no idea how to help them.
Jason: Do - do you really - do you really think this is it?
Emily: Yes.
Jason: OK. Then the time that you have left is a gift.
Emily: A gift?
Jason: Yeah. You just have to use that time to say whatever you need to give the people you love a part of yourself to keep with them.
Emily: A part of myself?
Jason: Yeah, just a part of yourself.
Emily: I'm so scared. I am so scared Jason.
Jason: I know. I know you are.

Resident Evil -
Wesker: I thought you'd be happier to see us.
Chris: Us?
Wesker; So slow to catch on.
Wesker: COMPLETE. GLOBAL. SATURATION.
Wesker: We last met at the Spencer Estate, wasn't it?
Chris: Jill? Jill. It's me: Chris.
Sheva: So this is Jill? Are you sure?
Wesker: The one and only.
Wesker: Six billion cries of agony will birth a new balance.
Wesker: Seven minutes. Seven minutes is all I can spare to play with you.
Wesker; The right to be a God... that right is now mine.
Wesker: The right to be a God... you? Arrogant even until the end.
Wesker: With Uroboros I have that right.
Wesker: I NEED AN EGG.
Wesker: It was in your best interest to assist me.
Wesker: The human race has escaped this winnowing for far too long.

Reviews
Postal (2007)
One of the best. (Maybe a minor spoiler)
There are people running around yelling about this movie being so offensive; well, guess what? It's meant to be. It's a "fuck you." to Uwe Boll's critics and nay-sayers. He wants to make movies and no one will stop that. Personally, I like some of his other films besides this. But this is my favorite.
This isn't about Uwe, though. It's about Postal. It lives up to the games. Violence, blood, gore, vulgar humor and no one is safe from anything. Is Zack the Dude from most of the games? Not at first. He builds up all this repressed anger and begins giving everyone the middle finger. Zack is an amazing actor and I seriously hope his name gets more recognition. Jackie Tohn, too, because she was great.
The entire cast did amazingly. I always enjoy watching it and will continue doing so. Is it offensive and disgusting? Yes, but that's part of the charm. Whether it's the cat silencer or the stupid jokes, if you take any of the parodies within seriously, you missed the point of this movie.
The Cheetah Girls (2003)
The Cheetah Girls, 3.8?! -- Possible Spoilers If You Haven't Seen it --
Okay. Seriously? 3.8?
I get it. The acting wasn't something to give an award for. Perhaps it's cheesy and you think that only 6 yr old girls will like it and the music. Nope. I'm a grown ass man and I still love this movie. My niece, who is only a year younger, also loves it. Hell, my mom doesn't mind it either. She's 53.
I've seen people say "Oh, all the girls were selfish-- they wanted fame and--" etc blah blah. Since when is it selfish to pursue your dreams? They wanted to get their music out there. And Galleria was selfish for not wanting to bend to Jackal's will? She didn't want the Cheetah Girls to become what someone else would want. What they didn't envision.
The other girls saw the ere of it as well, after thinking about it. It came down to 'The image Jackal wanted the Cheetah Girls to be, or their family The Cheetah Girls'. In the end Galleria, torn by losing her best friends, she was the one to make the first move to try and repair their friendships.
Yes. There were some errors. But guess what? It was a TV MOVIE. Not something made in Warner Brothers Studio. It was something made by Disney Channel for whoever watches their channel. It was one of the last vestiges of the old Disney channel before Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez took over with their bullshit shows. Is Cheetah Girls a teen movie as well? Yes. But it was more like Lizzie McGuire than like Hannah Montana.
Was it the best movie from Disney of all time? Of course not. But it's entertaining, the music is good and in the end the girls learned their friendship was more important than bending to the will of the big company manager. They said they'd do it their own way. Is it selfish to follow your dream the way you wanted it? No.
It's not something that I'd give a five star review to. But I can remember watching this and some of the 'morals' other people thought was being sent out, I didn't see. I saw the morals that your friends are more important than your fame. You should follow your dream and be happy. That you shouldn't let others tell you how your dream is to be lived.
All in all, I love it for the nostalgia mostly, but also because it was a great time before Disney started shoving this bullshit called Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana down our throats. High School Musical and everything else on Disney Channel these days needs to be chucked off a bridge and they need to bring back the old shows. Put Zenon on! Some Even Stevens and Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, or hell, just show the old Disney movies like Lion King!
Anything but what we have today.
I know many of you aren't going to like this review. Either way, I don't care. I had to give my opinion and I had to show my love for old Disney before they started killing it. The ratings must be horrible.
Balto (1995)
Beyond Underrated -- Possible spoilers for those who haven't seen it --
This movie's rating on IMDb is far too low. I didn't know this movie was so underrated.
When it comes to animated movies, Disney is at the top of the food chain and Pixar comes in at a close second. So it's amazing that this non-Disney, animated film surpasses even some Disney movies -- I don't count the movies like High School Musical. Current Disney is trash aside from some good work like Tangled and Princess And The Frog. - -.
-- This is the section where there are possible spoilers. Read at your own risk --
The story is told by Rosy, all grown up and with a granddaughter. From there the animation takes over. Balto, whose mother was a wolf and father a dog, was an outcast among not only dogs but also humans. Due to his half wolf heritage he was thought to be wild with the humans, and most of the dogs thought he was beneath them for being only half dog and a stray. Enter Jenna. Kind and caring to all, even to Steele even though he didn't deserve it. She gave him hope that acceptance wasn't as scarce and limited to two polar bears and a goose.
However, his luck changes for the better-- giving him a chance to prove himself to not only the dogs but to the humans as well. The town is hit by an epidemic of diphtheria. And, due to the snow, the medicine is delayed on all modern forms of transportation. The town has little option left and decides to send in the best sledding team to retrieve it from the last layover. Balto was not picked, obviously, but after the team leaves he sets off to find them because a huge snow storm is approaching.
-- End of possible spoilers --
I won't go any further, or I'd risk truly spoiling it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet but is looking it up on IMDb to see if it's worth watching.
This movie will always have a special place in my heart. The story has all the elements it needs. Drama, conflict, romance, etc.
The cast selected to VA was amazingly picked. Kevin Bacon did a wonderful job, as did Bridget Fonda, Bob Hoskins, Jim Cummings an Phil Collins. And the score was excellent. James Horner is a master composer, his work with Titanic is one of his most popular works, it's a shame that this one isn't for it is on equal ground... at least in my opinion.
There you have it. Great animation, a interesting and eye catching plot, an amazing cast and musical score. Few films, real live action or animated/CGI, can pull off all of them. Balto did. So if you've never seen it, I recommend you do so and don't judge it until you've watched everything start to finish. I'll always have a fondness for it, I hope after seeing it you will too.
My rating: 10 Stars out of 10 Stars.
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (2012)
Lots of complaining...
WARNING. POSSIBLE SPOILERS CONTAINED IN THE FOLLOWING REVIEW.
And perhaps it ISN'T the best RE title to date. But it's non- canon and the story line is awesome. As a part of The Wolf Pack AKA Delta Team of the U.S.S. you can be either Vector -- Stealth--, Beltway --Demolition--, Lupo --Leader--, Specter -Elec Ex.--, Bertha -- Medic--, or Four Eyes --Scientist--. I recommend either Vector or Bertha they have the coolest moves and are my favorites.
Sure, it's more of a shooter than a survival horror game now, but it's STILL survival. You are fighting not only the usual B.O.W.'s and t/g-carrier... but humans as well. Hell, in RE2 there were no V-ACTs --Crimson Heads-- running around in the streets. Those alone count for survival points. Hunters and other creatures make a return cameo too.
And, come on, it's interesting. For once we get to be on Umbrella's side and see how they perceived things. Normally we're the good guys --Chris, Jill, Leon, Claire, etc.-- except in the mini games like Mercenaries where we can be bad-a**es like HUNK and Ada or Wesker. --Not saying Chris and the other's aren't bad-a**, they're merely more limited because they're good guys.--
My point is this: If you're looking for a game for PS3/Xbox 360 that's a more better graphics and moves version of RE2 you're in the wrong place. But if you want to see how things went on Umbrella's end of the fight and what all could have been going on behind the scenes while we were running through the sewers or streets trying to get out of the city alive, you've come to the right place.
The graphics are good, the characters to choose from are interesting, and you get to cover up Umbrella's dirty little secrets and fix their messes while blowing sh** up and killing as many U.S. Gov. people/infected/B.O.W.s as you can along the way. I'd say that qualifies for a fun few hours.
Inuyasha: Jûso no kamen (2004)
One Of My Favorite RPGs and a must for InuYasha fans
As a hardcore fan who has been following InuYasha since it came to America -- and a RPG lover -- this is high on my list of favorites. I bought the game fresh off the rack and was instantly pleased with paying $40.00 for it.
Yes, there are some issues with the music sometimes overlapping the words but luckily you can read the words as well. And when playing as the male Kururugi -- Main character last name -- they sometimes accidentally switch the correct gender audio. Other than that there's nothing I can complain about with this game.
The graphics are amazing, the music is as awesome as in the show and the turn based battle system is fun. -- I'm a major FFVII fan --
I've played it over and over, enjoying how it captures the essence of the show very well. There are comical moments, serious moments, sad moments and heartfelt ones giving you a good sense of putting yourself into the show.
-- DEFINITE SPOILERS AHEAD. DO NOT READ ON IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED AND FINISHED THE GAME --
It doesn't hurt that you can kick Naraku's ass in the end and that you get to be more than just a normal human who gets protected all the time while trying to get back home. Learning how to master your Shikigami powers for offense, defense, and even breaking that infuriating barrier Naraku has around him.
My favorite moments though, are when you get to spend time with one of the others. -- I've made Kururugi fall in love with both Kagome and Sango now. Done the same for InuYasha and Miroku with the female Kururugi as well. So fangirls/fanboys you will LOVE that feature --
One of the coolest features though, is after you beat the game you can restart and regain some of your exp. level. if you go to the far west end of Kaede's Village and find the talking cat. He'll tell you he shows you his appreciation by awarding exp. and asks if you want your exp. points. If you say yes all party members present and not present will become level 3o.
-- END OF SPOILERS HERE --
So, if you love Role Playing Video Games and InuYasha this game just may be for you.
