X-Men: First Class

I have really been paying attention to all of the hype that's been going on about the movie, X-men first class, but from what I seen of the trailers, I think it might possibly a good movie. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender look great as Xavier and Magneto from what's been shown, so I'm really excited to see how the two characters' relationship unfolds in the movie.

Looking at the cast of characters they've chosen, I find there choices intriguing. Some for the better, some not so much. To real cringe factors for me are Beast and Mystique. Now let me expand upon that statement by saying that it has nothing to do with the actors or the characters, but the special FX. Mystique just looks off, but Beast has changed from the ape-esque Beast as portrayed by Kelsey Grammer to the more Cat-Man Beast of the current comics and call me nit picky but that doesn't quite make sense.
On the upside, There's supposed to be a Wolverine cameo, so that's something to look forward to.

All in all, I must admit that I can not wait for X-Men: First Class to hit theatres.

LA Noire

I'm going to start out by just saying that I LOVE this game. I'm a huge fan of the Noir genre and have always wanted a game set in it, and now here it is. As soon as I got it from my local gamestop's midnight release, I put this in and started playing. The game was so good, I nearly played for two days straight until I beat it. It most definitely would have taken longer, but I cheated and used the strategy guide, and boy did I need it. Like many people, I fancy myself a detective, using my own intuition to guess the plot-twists and the identity of the killers in Mystery Movies, but this game will throw you for a loop if you try that. That's not to say that it can't be done but it will surely make the gaming experience last longer and add a great level of difficulty to it. With that said, I still think this is an awesome game with a excellently written story.

One of the greatest thngs about the game though is its graphics. LA Noire has the best Game Avatars I've ever seen. Seriously, they're so life-like, there were times I forgot I was playing a game and thought I was watching a movie. And to make things even more fun, they have a cast of the proverbial who's who of television actors. There were so many faces I recognized from various shows including Aaron Staton as Cole Phelps, Gil McKinney as Jack Kelso, Michael McGrady as Rusty Galloway, Andrew Connelly as Captain James Donnelly, Keith Szarabajka as Herschel Biggs, Erika Heynatz as Elsa Lichtmann; as well as Alexis Cruz, Daniel Roebuck, William O'Leary, Brian Krause, Haley Ramm, and John Noble.

Thor

Like most Marvel fans, when Thor came out to theatres, I went to go see it. And, I must say, it was one of the best Marvel films so far. Christopher Hemsworth was perfect as The Mighty Thor and Tom Hiddleston was superb as Loki. Thor is a very fun movie to watch and has a story that is easily followed by people like my father, who loves Thor from the old cartoons from when he was a child but has never read the comics. I definitely recommend this movie to those look for a great adventure/action film to spend an afternoon watching.
