Another Silent Hill video game!!!
Wow, I'm loving this. They just keeps coming and coming.
A new trailer from a new Silent Hill video game had just premiered at the E3 2010 Press Conference for Konami. By the look of it, it looks pretty good. The new protagonist is a prisoner and it seems that he come across Silent Hill while escaping from his prison truck. Or maybe he was caught after he visits Silent Hill? Anyway, the visuals looks pretty cool. The new design for Silent Hill town looks kind of different though than previous games. It kind of reminded me of Alan Wake. Nevertheless, the visuals look good. And do I need to even mention the soundtrack? As usual, it was marvelous!
I'm looking forward to this game. Hopefully it will be as scary and twisted as the previous installments.

Rapunzel...A new twist in a classic fairy tale
I'm not sure whether it will be titled Rapunzel or Tangled. I'm kind of confuse on that. But anyway, by the look of the teaser trailer, the animated film looks pretty cool. Stunning visuals, that's for sure.
Tangled is an upcoming animated feature by Walt Disney Animation Studios and scheduled to be released on 24 November 2010. The film will be loosely based on the classic fairy tale Rapunzel by the Brothers Grimm.
To watch the trailer, you can either click here or here (for the international trailer from Netherlands), both at SlashFilm. If last year Disney brought us The Princess and the Frog, this year we will be treated with Tangled. This should be fun.

Which Final Fantasy is this?
Seriously, I need to get my track back on the latest news in video games world because I've never heard anything about this game before. Apparently, Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of the Light had already been released in Japan in October last year and scheduled to be released in US and Europe in October this year. Although it sounded like it was a remake, it's actually more like a spin-off of the Final Fantasy main series. It was made for Nintendo DS.
I have here the trailer taken from GameTrailers (thanks!). Enjoy it!

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time ~ review
Arabian music, deserts, holy city, gorgeous actors, CGI. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time sound like the perfect film for me to enjoy over the weekend. Then why did I came out of the cinema hall feeling dissatisfied?
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a video game-based film, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and starred Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan, Gemma Arterton as Princess Tamina and Ben Kingsley as Nizam. Although the plot didn't directly follow the plot of the video game, but the movie does have a lot of elements taken from the video game.
Let's first go through the things that I like about this movie. The settings; needless to say, with such a big budget, the settings for the movie are beautiful. Every little thing seems to be made with details. From the locations to the props, everything seems perfect. Next, the actors. Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton seem like a suitable couple for the movie. They have chemistry together and they both looked gorgeous on screen. Their acting were good too. Not to forget are the other actors like Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina, Richard Coyle and Toby Kebbell who done completely well in portraying their characters.
Now for the things that I didn't quite like about the movie. The plot; although it was not entirely bad, I find the movie to be heavy with men fighting and less on the important things like the power of the Dagger of Time, and the effects that it can have to a person or the world if it to be used for the wrong reasons. To be fair, the fighting scenes were interesting, it just that there are too many of them, and they all look kind of the same especially when it involves the army. Fortunately the film have the spike-wielding Hassansin and the knives-throwing Seso of Ngbaka to spice up the fighting scenes.
I was also quite dissatisfied with the editing of the movie. I'm sure not an expert in this, but I do noticed some scenes that didn't quite made sense or didn't go along well with one another. I'm not sure whether it's the fault of the editing team or the censorship board in my country, but it made the movie looked rushed, in my opinion at least.
Overall, I didn't quite like the movie, but I didn't hate it either. It just an average movie. But my sister kind of like it, so don't take my word for it, go see it and judge it yourself. For me, the opening was good, the middle was quite boring, and the end was awesome. I do hope they make a sequel for this movie, because it has a lot of cool elements in it and there are so many other tales to tell. And hopefully, they make it even better next time.
