Review
Honestly, before watching this movie, I had never heard of Future Folk. Apparently, that does not matter when it comes to enjoying this film. The characters are enjoyable, the premise is fresh, and the music is great. The hero of planet Hondo and his new friend make a great duo. One great aspect of this film is the ability to cross gender preferences. In other words, this would make a good movie to watch with your boyfriend or girlfriend. It has the potential for both to enjoy. This movie is not a huge blockbuster that everyone has heard of, but if you get a chance to watch this movie, please do so.

The To Do List
Genre: Comedy
Starring: Aubrey Plaza, Johnny Simmons, Bill Hader, Alia Shawkat, Scott Porter, Rachel Bilson, Donald Glover, Andy Samberg, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Connie Britton, Clark Gregg
2013

Review
This comedy has quite a few recognizable faces. Starring Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation)as an uptight high school graduate set on loosening up. Plaza is backed up by such notables as Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live), Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development), and Donald Glover (Community). That is about half of the faces you may recognize in this film. Aside from the great casting, the film had some really funny moments. The premise is fresh in an industry in which people are constantly remarking on the lack of creativity. If you enjoy any of the actors mentioned above and their typical roles, this movie will be an good match for you.

Review
Colin Farrell stars as a enforcer for a gang in this thriller. There is plenty of action for those who seek that type of film, which considering you sought out a review for this film, is right up your alley. Surprisingly, most of these characters show some humanity which makes the action ever a little more exciting.Even if you are not a fan of Colin Farrell, this movie may be worth watching if you like action movies. If you find yourself trying find a movie to watch, give this one a chance. Chances are you won't finish it feeling like you wasted your time.

Saints Row IV

Saints Row IV
Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, RPG
2013

Review
Saints Row is back for fourth installment. The amount of customization of the character is always a plus for this series. Also, as always, there plenty of Easter eggs and references that should result in a chuckle or two. There is tons to do in the sandbox. The amount of play time that can be invested in the game is impressive. The plot is a little over the top, which is what I think they were going for in this game. It is seems the game uses the plot to get away with more of the cartoonish mayhem from Saints Row: The Third. Really, the only downside to the game is the amount of ridiculousness with the plot, but that is a personal preference. I would recommend it to most anyone who likes getting bang for their buck or is a fan of the series.

2012

Review

This movie is based on the books and is the first of the soon to be released follow-ups. Considering the one-sided fan demographic breakdown of films like Twilight, this movie is probably overlooked by men. It is leaps and bounds better for men than the Twilight series. That being said, there should be no true comparisons between these two films. Considering it is pretty gender neutral, it is a good movie for couples. It is not exactly romantic but will entertain just the same. This movie is worth checking out.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
Genre: Action, Adventure
2012

Review
Resident Evil has a strong and loyal fanbase and for good reason. Lately, there has been a huge increase in the buzz around zombies. Resident Evil 6 will be released soon, and this game was supposed to help with the wait. The concept is a good one. It takes place between the events of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. It gives a different perspective of the of the events than Chris, Jill, or Leon, the usual characters of the game. The gameplay is weak. It really takes away from the overall experience of the game. How much a player will like it will really depend on how much they care about the story of the Resident Evil series. It is interesting to learn more and everything but that is the most enjoyable part of the game, for the most part. It is not absolutely horrible, but if you want to get it, you should probably get it when you can get it for cheap.

UFC 142: Rio Aldo vs. Mendes

UFC 142: Rio Aldo vs. Mendes
January 14, 2012

Review
The UFC returns to Rio with the main event, Jose Aldo vs Chad Mendes. First, the other fights on the card were a mix. Edson Barboza showed some impressive skills in his defeat of Terry Etim. His knockout is one of the best knockouts in a while. The kick was clean and Etim tightened up and fell straight back like a board. Erick Silva, in his second UFC fight, stopped the fight against Carlo Prater even faster than his first. Sadly, it was negated by a controversial disqualification for illegal blows to the head. Despite the DQ, Silva still looked dominate in the short seconds of the fight. Rousimar Palhares had a great leglock submission victory against Mike Massenzio. The quickness of how Palhares pulling guard and finishing the submission was technical magic. Anthony "Rumble" Johnson was unable to make weight for his fight against Vitor Belfort. As disappointing as that fact is, his performance in the fight proved to be even worse. Belfort took advantage of Johnson's poor conditioning and ended the fight with a rear naked choke, while Johnson was too tired to do anything to defend himself. Finally, Jose Aldo, who is considered to be one of the best pound for pound fighters in MMA, knocked out Chad Mendes. Mendes had his back and when Aldo escaped, got a knee into Mendes' head. The finish was at the 4:59 mark of the first round. Only disappointment was the short length of the main event. The crowd was insane in the building as Aldo celebrated. There were a couple of highlight knockouts and an impressive submission in UFC 142. The finishes were great and overshadowed the disappointed disqualification and poor showing of Anthony Johnson. There have been better UFC events and worse UFC events.
