So, I ended up getting my Nintendo Wii yesterday.. Wasn't exactly what I was hoping for (wanted to get an extra controller and nunchuck) but it was still good :D I ended up spending about 2 hours just creating random Miis for kicks, then about an hour or two of Wii Tennis :P 'Nuf bout that.

I watched Street Kings last night with Andrew and Catrina. I was hoping it would be good, but as usual, the trailer was better than the movie. You've really got to congratulate whoever makes these trailers. They make you want to watch sub-par movies :\ That aside, the movie wasn't TERRIBLE; it had a decent flow to it. However, the whole storyline is a liiiiiiiiiittle bit cliche with nothing to back it up. Keanu's acting was decent. Whoever did the casting, though, needs to reassess who they choose for characters... I mean, Keanu was probably the only person that fit his role nicely.

Don't get me wrong, Terry Crews is a great actor, but having him play a plot-starting / changing character in a serious movie was way too odd for me to see... I think most people are comfortable seeing him in comedy movies, which is where he should stay... For those wondering who Terry Crews is, he's the bald, buff black guy that can flex his pecs to make them look like they're jumping.. He played Freddy 'Fingers' Wilson in "Balls of Fury", the black guy that was into white chicks in "White Chicks" and one of the flight attendants in "Soul Plane". I believe he's also in the upcoming "Get Smart" movie. As you can see, he's a seasoned comedy-actor.. So yeah, that's one thing that really kinda killed the atmosphere the movie was trying to give. If you still don't know who Terry Crews is, go google him if you wish.

Another thing was seeing Hugh Laurie in the movie. Fantastic actor, don't get me wrong. But come ON people! We're so used to seeing him in a hospital as our beloved Dr. House! WHY would you put his introductory scene in a hospital. Please. Why? At least change his attitude a bit too. It isn't much different from his 'House' persona. Yeah, I know that that is how the character is supposed to act, but then shouldn't you cast someone else? His introduction in a hospital and similar attitudes really destroyed the Capt. James Biggs character and made Dr. House a cop... At least in Stuart Little you can't even tell it was him until the credits rolled... (might also be because Stuart Little was before his House debut, but that's beside the point :P)

I ended up buying "No More Heroes" for the Wii today (man, I'm so wasteful...maybe I should get myself a girlfriend instead of spending money on games.. haha) It's fantastic! The combat system is a nice change from what I'm used to nowadays. I haven't exactly played the game in-depth so this is probably the main thing that I have to comment on. The general idea of the storyline and stuff is pretty original though. Kudos to the creators.
