A quick blurb for those who look to JasonCross.com for your movie reviews...
Watched Shallow Hal on DVD this weekend. Jack Black looked more cleaned-up than normal, which kind of detracted from his funniness, though Gwyneth Paltrow was great. Great performance and great looking. Mmm...Gwyneth...
I give the movie a general recommendation. You don't have to drive so fast to the video store to get it that you hit the occasional curb, tree, or schoolchild, but if you're looking for a flick with some fun and a good message, get it eventually.
Ms Paltrow, as I'm sure you are one of the five JasonCross.com readers, I would just like to say that I think all those who claim to dislike you for this or that reason are just suffering from sour grapes syndrome. |

On Friday I bought Warcraft III for my PC. This is a big deal for a couple reasons:
1 - I don't actually buy computer games that often.
2 - I don't usually play computer games that often anymore, as I tend to lose interest pretty darned fast. Short attention span. Ritalin needed.
3 - Blizzard, the creators of such minor games as, oh, Diablo, Starcraft, and, oh yeah, Warcraft I and II, are known for top-notch games, and the buzz had been killer on WC III for some time.
So I stopped by my trusty local Best Buy and spent $60 on the game.
It's held my attention for a day so far, which is better than many (and no, that's not a day solid - probably more like 4 hours). The graphics are very good, not the best ever, but still really good. The gameplay is solid real-time-strategy fun (none of that turn-based junk here!), and it's got a decent storyline.
Hmm, now I have an excuse to upgrade my computer! ;) |
