  Box Office This Week - 03/01/08

  New to the box office this week is the geo-political thriller Vantage Point and the newest from the guys that did the Bourne Identity, Jumper. While both of these movies reek of big budget Hollywood style movies, are they any good? Or will they fall into the same trap that Fool's Gold and The Eye fell into.

  Movies this week range from the mind blowing...

  

  Following an attempt at on the President's of the United States life, eight strangers (not all of them) attempt to unravel whats really going on. The movie is told from a variety of veiw points, including the president's bodygaurd, a news reporter on the scene and variouse terrorists point's of veiw. Each few is interesting and reveals more of the plot, as they all come together in the end for the final showdown. The gimmick to the movie is that every few scenes, the movie rewinds 23 minutes to the initail event and tells the story from a new point of veiw. While this may seem like it may get old, its kept fresh by tight pacing.

  While all may seem good so far, the main problem in the movie actually comes from the pacing. The movie moves along so fast and gives you so much information that sometimes it overwhelms you. So instead of thinking about what happens next, I found myself trying to figure out what was going on onscreen at the moment.

  Minor problems aside, while Vantage Point isn't the best political thriller out there, its worth a look

  4/5

  To the mind numbing...

  

  As a travelogue, "Jumper" isn't half bad, with lots of juicy images of Rome, Tokyo, New York and other splendid places. But we're supposed to be watching a sci-fi action film, and that's where things go south. The movie follows the adventure of David Rice, who discovers that he has the ablity to teleport himself anywhere. Unfortunatly, he not alone and a mysteriouse group called "Paladins" is hunting him down.

  While the action sequences are fine, as can be expected from the directors of Bourne Identity (who are also directing Jumper), but when the movie gets to slow parts, you can pass the time by counting the numerouse plot holes. These tend to overshadow the action sequences and really drag the movie down. Especailly the ending, which is almost begging for a sequel, which I personaly hope is teleported into the sun and forgoten.

  2/5

  Thats it for this week, hopefully Be Kind Rewind won't be as bad as Jumper. I can only hope.

  Acheivement Update - 02/25/08

  As of last week, I've finally got hold of an xbox 360. After buying, I realised miicrosoft suprisingly brilliant strategy: acheivement points. While they may not seem important, I've found myself going out of the way to find them. In order to give back to my fellow gamers, I'll be showing some of the acheivements I've unlocked, and strategies to get them. Enjoy, and I hope their helpfull.

  This week I'll be exploring some of Crackdowns unlockables.

  

  10g - Double Trouble
  Double your fun - complete your first mission in Co-op mode

  The easy wat to get this is to get a freind online, start a new game on tough difficulty and simply rush the first crime boss. As long as both players work together it should be easy to take him down, unlocking the Double Trouble acheivement.

  

  15g - Bare-Knuckle Brawler
  
  Kill 150 gang members with your bare hands (or thrown objects)

  While you will most likelly get this for simply playing through the game, you can unlock it quicker by focusing on using bare-handed kills. An easy way to do this is to shoot a gang member in the legs so that he falls, giving you time to death. Another strategy I used was getting the gang members health down just enough so that I could kill him with a single attack, saving time and leaving you less vulnerable. If you stick to these strategies you'll eventually unlock the Bare-Knuckle Brawler acheivement.
  

  

  15g - Untouchable Agent
  Kill 200 gang members without dying yourself

  This acheivent is a little more difficult. I suggest waiting until you have some decent weapons (sniper or rocket launcher & a good machine gun) and putting the difficulty down to tough. First anger a gang until they send hit squads after you, then run to the top of a building and begin picking off gang member. If you get low on health or ammo, run to a supply point and try again. This should allow you to eventually get the Untouchable Agent acheivement.

  Hopefully this is somewhat helpfull, good night... and happy gaming... you little acheivement whores.
