Red Dead Redemption (2010 Video Game)
10/10
This game is worth more than the title: "The Game of The Year"
4 August 2010
Your'e a cowboy, a man that can end a life in a second. But when compared to the wild west you seems to be nobody. You travel many miles every day. But one day you may decide to stay where you are. Maybe you chose to stay in a haunted town to fight your fear or at the top of a cliff where you can see a piece of the world, and then you realize that you almost haven't seen anything. The world is changing and so are you. But you can change the world and the world can change you. Every move you make leads to consequences. Bad or good deeds will change people's opinion about you and that can change your destiny. People will hear about your deeds and with time the whole world will now you.

This is what Read Dead Redemption is about. And I am not alone when I am saying that the whole idea is incredible, and incredible is not even worth to be a describing of Red Dead Redemption. The graphic scenery is amazing. When I am looking down from a cliff the feeling of doing it in the reality is almost there. Wherever I go the scenery is full of life. The sounds of insects, birds flying over your head, wolves haunting deers not so far away and much more.

The touch of typical western gunfights is also included. One of the things I like most with them is when it's night and you can see a flash coming from every of the enemies gun. It makes a cool effect and the before not so powerful revolvers will now be the fear of the night.

The story-missions in this game is remarkable. You meet interesting characters and you are given new weapons, outfits, horses and more. And there is also a lot of side-missions, very entertaining. The voice actors is well picked and the scenes when the characters is talking is so well made that you should cut parts of them together, add some more things and show it on cinema.

There is so much to tell about this game, but I have to put an end of this review now with telling you that I highly recommend this game. This is the biggest reason why I have started to watch western-movies again. In my opinion is this the best game ever made. Not completely perfect, but very close to perfect.

Ip Man (2008)
8/10
I am surprised that people just gave it 8 of 10

When I saw the front of the DVD and title of the movie I though it was a comedy. A picture of a Kung Fu master with a big bamboo stick in a deserted town with a lot of katana's in the ground. That sounds a little weird, right? So me and a friend decided to watch this movie.

It's an amazing movie. The karate in this movie is good-looking with all the realistic, but also very impressive moves. The acting is pretty good. This movie has its own style and I enjoyed it a lot. Don't watch a few minutes and turn it off because you didn't like the first minutes, give it time.

You maybe don't like Kung Fu movies but I didn't either until now when the movie convince me :) And the ending is amazing, not that "american happy ending" you see all the time when a lot of people clap their hands and everybody is happy bla bla bla. Sure it ends happy, but not that OVERWHELMING.

Give the movie a chance. You will enjoy it.

Don't be so hard on the story... it's an action movie for god sake!

I am finding this movie very entertaining, and I can't understand why the other "reviewers" don't feel the same.

Firstly, this is an action movie, so what should we expect from the movie? We are going to expect action, and what did this movie gave us? Entertaining action! The storyline is always important in a movie, but we can't forget the genre in this movie, and it is the genre who decides what we are going to expect from that movie.

But this movie has a storyline that actually works. The story line can't be so bad that we forget what kind of movie it is!? I absolutely do not think so. The storyline makes suddenly change-twists sometimes because it all is about Logan lose his look at the reality and how he lose the things that is most important to him, because of that he became the cruel killer he is "today".

A movie can be good in many ways, one of them is when a movie have a great storyline. Another way is when a movie makes you laugh all the time. This movie entertains you with action, but thats not all the movie gives us. The actor (Hugh Jackman) is acting very good in this movie, and that is one of the most important things in a movie, specially in a Drama when the storyline is all that the movie have to entertain the audience.

To all the storyline-freaks, believe it or not but I will give this movie a nine because of the special effects and action scenes that I enjoyed, the good acting from Hugh Jackman and a story that I think fits pretty good with the movie.

I must say, this is one of the best movies in the world. But why? I am gonna tell you why, it is one of the greatest movies of all time because:

*Good and well written story. An interesting storyline that is entertaining all the way to the end.

*From book to movie with a great result. The novel is written by Stephen King and the movie was created in almost the same, good result. But I recommend you too read the book.

*Good acting and well played roles by the characters. Tom Hanks does a great job in the movie.

*Sadness and Goodness that touches your soul.

*Almost all kinds of movie lovers will like the movie. It doesn't matter what kind of movies your most into, this movie will entertain you.
