The Hottest 100 for 2004 votes are opening on New Years Eve.

A little odd indeed, I wonder if he’s going to get a discount on the compilations?

Make sure your get your votes in!

Saw Ocean’s 12 last night with about 10 other LanSmash crew and even Sunset!
Had great seats in the Imax cinema and it turned out it was a full house.

The movie opened up with a bang, still having that 70′s touch and a little flair. The big bad dude from the Bellagio is back and finds each of the original Ocean’s 11 , telling them they have two weeks to return the money they stole with interest.

So the teams back and head oversea’s to steal enough cash to pay back, with interest. The style of the movie is very similar to Ocean’s 11 with a little more ‘unsteady cam’ and a lot more ‘artistic shots’. It binds well though, I found the cinematography was great and well polished.

In the end though, I thought they fitted too much into the one movie. Like Ocean’s 11 you won’t know all the tricks until five minutes till the curtains draw. Except this time you won’t have a freaking clue what has ‘happened’ in the movie until the ending.

It’s a twisted movie trying to grab some of that ‘here’s how we done it’ magic. It comes out as a rather dull movie. I was relieved when the movie finally finished. I bet it was a lot of fun for the actors who played in it, but maybe a little too obnoxious behaviour for the rest of us.

To the movie’s credit there are a few choice humour scenes, and even a few action ones. Though I was disapointed that the chinese ‘grease monkey’ guy never get to flip out like the last movie.

So an entertaining movie, but it’s no Oceans 11, especially the original 1960′s movie.

6.5/10

You know you’ve played too much World of Warcraft when you’re oblivious to what’s happening around you…

Whilst this is a picture of my house-mate (known on WoW as ‘VonWilko’) I too am addicted to this MMORPG. Now, back to hunting down Zebra hooves and getting a +4 Intelligence staff…
