So I watched the recent Warhammer 40.000 movie 'Ultramarines'. It is, again, one of the se movies that I could and truly want to like, but again, am disappointed by on at least few levels. Make no mistake,I enjoyed the heck out of it, and can actually recommed it to fans of the games. Granted that it might be tainted by the Warp a bit, but then again, I'm no chaplain.
I'll start by listing the few things that sticked out like a sore thumb, as I usuallly do. It makes teh good parts seem even better. Firstly: A team of twelve(I think, I didn't count them) Ultramarines sent on a rescue missio, seems legit so far, Space Marines are afterall kick-ass. They discover roughly 100(SPOILER: at least 98) slain Marines of the Imperial Fists. Marines. Slain. A hundred. Get. The. Fuck. Out. Of. There. No well-taught marine can possibly make such a miscalculation of teh odds: it's completely common that when a single Space Marine battlebarge enters a system taht the planets one by one surrender(for the record: single battlebarge carries approx. 1-3 teams of marines, that's 5-20 per team. Do the math.), so it seems somewhat unwise to engage an enemy strong enough to wipe out a battalion of Marines.
Second:(HUGE SPOILER) The demon. The very presence of the demon. Ordo Malleus' article regarding dealing with demons says that the demon may be engaged in combat when teh demon is smaller than a goat. Otherwise, straight out exterminatus, with no remorse(exceptations may occur if concerning a significant Hive/Forge world or Terra). The demon was at least the size of a full-grown elephant. An then they beat it up with an exceptionally kick-ass hammer. Yay for the xp for non-combat veteran troops, makes me wonder what are they doing outside of the Grey Knights.
Third(this is just something that bugged me) bolter rate of fire. Everyone seems to fire only semi-auto or three round bursts, even the heavy bolter. And on the same note I could say that Marines don't fall from a single bolter round. From a single well-placed heavy bolter, or if they were using specialized rounds they could, but they were Chaos Marines, so that can be pretty much ruled out.
Ok, then the stuff that I liked. Firstly, the music. O boy, I loved the music. Although clearly a small-budget movie, the solid soundtrack saves a lot. Voice acting was ok, not the best possible, but passable. Fight choreography was also good, they looked dynamic(although there were exceptations).
The Space Marine lore was brought out in acceptable amounts, although I would have loved to see/hear more of it. Some things were good to be left out though; properely explaining them would have at least doubled the lenght of the movie.
Bottomline: If you like Warhammer 40k, you'll like, at least enjoy the Ultramarines. I can't say with a straight face that it'd be good, buut if you don't know much of the backstory, or can supress it, it will be an impressive and inspiring experience. I would suggest this, but not to thh die-hard fans.
We march for Macragge!
AND WE SHALL KNOW NO FEAR!

Well, I watched Terra Nova.
There was this "sci-fi" TV show called Terra Nova that started airing in Finland last saturday. Unfortunately I missed teh first episode, and decided that illegal download was the way to go this time, and downloaded the first episode. Well, I accidentally downloaded the first season instead, so I thought that what the heck.
Well, hate to bring this down to you, but it wasn't too good. Wasn't too bad either, though. It was like The Little House in the Praerie with dinosaurs. Yeah, and 85 million years in(apparently) the past.
The plot was....Ugh, just like any other teenager drama ever. But with dinosaurs! That's got to be good, right?
Nope.
The main plot, beyond the whole teeangers-in-love shit is, surprisingly, pretty entertaining. Story of settlers in a hostile world trying to get along, this could have been soooooooo good if it were serious all along. I'm talking Firefly good, this series had SO much potential, but tehy screwed it to up the number of viewers. They tried to take a serious premise, and make it the whole family's show. unfortunately, I liked some of the plot twists enough to not spoil it for the readers, this part will be considerably shorter than usual with my reviews.
I've heared the rumor that Terra Nova would be the most expensive TV show ever produced, and I wouldn't be surprised. The environments, the vehicles, all are top notch. Except props and armor. In spite of the 20 million budget, every single prop gun in this show is made from a Nerf gun, apparently to make the show more kid-friendly. The armors also, are all just motorcycle/paintball armor, which, for a prop person like me, is disappointing, it doesn't even look that futuristic(Wanna see good futuristic armor and props? Watch Aliens.) Clothing department though, was great(although I hated the Justin Bieber impression they pulled off with the protagonist's son)
I can't say that I'd suggest the show for anyone, but if you like shoddy sci-fi wannabe teenager dramas, your of cup of tea.
Bottomline: Terra Nova starts very slowly, and without the stupid sideplots it would have been much better. Also, I was little disappointed with the shortness of it(only 11 episodes, with the first and last double the length of other ep's). It had potential, but again, capitalism wrecks art.

A game of Shadows.
Just back from the theater, watched the new SH movie. It was....Good? Ish? Don't get me wrong, I liked the flick, but this? Sherlock? This was fanservice. And explosions. And gay jokes. But it was enjoyable, definitely enjoyable. Not orthodox Holmesness, but enjoyable.
The beginning was slow. Not as in highspeed camera slow, but slow. Nothing really happened. As the first act of movies nowadays often contains an action sequence, this didn't so much. I mean, there was some action... I think? but nothing really happened. A few further plot points were set, and a pointless character killed (SPOILER: Adler) but overall, uneventful. Pretty much everything that was instated was stated through conversation, which isn't that bad choice, but it's main point was more to instate the bro relationship between Watson and Holmes.
The Stag party was there just to reinforce the bromance of Watson and Holmes(as if it needed any reinforcing). Ok, there was a plotwise-important character introduced, and a ninja cossack, but it seemed a little vague. They just needed a scene to introduce a character(more a plotpoint) and to get Watson drunk. And a ninja cossack. The wedding scene really gave nothing to the plot but the fact that Watson got married, it was like a prologue to the train scene. In which, more gay jokes. which is not that bad actually. Propably because I spend too much time in mentally unhealthy company, but I'm a glutton for punishment. And seriously, british railways, I tip a hat to your timetables, the train is on-time, even if it blows in half on the way. And a woman thrown off the train, because nothing can't stand between Holmes and Watson. And drag-Holmes, really? Really. That was unneccessary. One thing why the sequel was worse than the first, where in the first little things like this were used to spice a scene, and in here whole scenes were built around the comedy.
Sidenote, lipstick was invented in 1915, which makes it an anachronism.
Another sidenote, Mrs. Watson is a badass.
The boat scene, well, was just to give watson a reason to be a little "Aww" towards Sherlock as he(conveniently) fiddled with Adler's hanky, and he realized that she was dead. But, as the friend I went to the movies with noted, that tuberculosis death smells different and thus Adler might be alive afterall. I doubt it, though. Would be pretty clever, but then again I am too optimistic about people who write movies.
The stuff in France, and the new gypsy-character's joining to the party, because it was getting awfully gay and british(no offense). Plotpoint makes clear of it's existence and Moriarty fools Holmes to show that he's smart and evil that way. Also, a point of interest, Holmes spotted a bullet hole in a window which remained intact after the CG scene where all the windows(at the rough same distance to the bomb) were splintered to bits, how does that work out? Physics? Sleeping again?
One infernal pony and border-jumping later begins the ifiltration to an evil Teutonic arms factory. Big arms(not the body parts) btw. Holmes gets flayered for a plot point, and Watson compensates with about 95mm too big gun( points for smartness though. When fighting a sniper, you don't play fair. Great comic relief, too). Sherlock dies(for a change) and Watson saves him with combination of movie-CPR and plot point(bromance level up!)
As Sherlock mutters something about Switzerland every even semi-competent Holmes fan knows that we're coming to a wrap. Holmes dances with the gypsy woman and Watson. Yes, Watson. Mind you, gayness was kinda no-no back in the 1890s, that scene was just stupid.
And then comes the "final fight", where Moriarty and Holmes play chess and Holmes is all like "My apperentice will foil your plan!" and Moriarty is all like "Mwahahaha, he may have survived from my pointless murder attempt, but he can't solve this!" For incredibly smart people that Holmes and Moriarty are, it's beyond me how they fail by putting the king and queen in wrong spots on a chessboard.
Watson of course succeeds in foiling the evil plan, but the evil henchman(conveniently the gypsy woman's brother) dies. This was supposed to be a sad thing, but really the viewer was given no reason to pity this nameless side character. Holmes also beats Moriarty in chess, and reveals the plotpoint worth being flayered and they share a (I'm not even kidding) telepathic Sherlockvision moment where they plan a fight choreography which Sherlock waters by boringly hopping off the cliff in front of Watson's eyes.
The movie wraps up with watson writing about Holmes' plunge to death with the Napoleon of crime and receives a package that contains the plotpoint(A breathing device) that saved Holmes' life. HOW does a Breathing device small as your fist save you from a two-kilometer fall to water? At the point they'd hit water downstream would be Holmes-Moriarty(Not a slash pairing pelase, no...) pudding with that velocity. Watson rockets off to catch the mailboy who presumably was Holmes alive afterall but it isn't because Holmes had disguised himself as a sofa. Yes, a sofa. To hit a question mark behind THE END in Watson's (presumably) book.
Now it would seem that I hated the movie, although I claimed otherwise. No, I liked it, not as much as I liked the first one, but I liked it. I can easily see myself buying a DVD of it when one comes out, but not with full price.(more for the propable and hoped extras). Now, as what they ended the movie with, there propably will be a third one, I'll propably watch it, it wasn't that bad.
Also there was the one "Oh my god what the fuck am I seeing this is funny" scene, which was when Watson's wife was fished off the river where she freshly dropped and taken to safety by Mycroft, whoo, ultimately at his house, strips stark naked(thank gods off-camera) and kinda just appears out of nowhere in Mrs. Watson's face. That would have been jsut a boring exposition scene, but the naked Stephen Fry, even how stupid it will sound, made funny. There were more of these scenes that were just genius in my opinion, but I can't remember all of them.
Bottomline: Too comedic approach. The first movie had an almost perfect balance of seriousness, comedy and gay jokes, which worked perfectly i the amounts they were administered, but all of these were jsut amped up in the second one, which made them less funny. Altogether, still an enjoyable package, but nothing too spectacular. All in all I had a nice movie experience in good company and I do not feel like I've wasted an evening(Like I did with I am Number Four...still shivers me). Go watch it, if you liked the first movie, but don't expect miracles.(expect gay jokes instead)

Reviev of the movie I am number four
Well, I went to the movies tonight and watched the movie I am number four. And man it was made of stupid.
Okay, I am totally going to spoil the movie here, so if you are pallning to watch it, read no further. On second thought, read further, you may save some money.
In the beginning, nothin is explained. Stuff just happens for no reason. Who are the guys who look like Voldemorts? What's the deal with the necklace? Why is the boy hunted? Why is there that blue glowing glob on the pommel of the knife? And know what, none of this is ever really explained. Except the Voldemorts, which seemingfully are Monrovians or something (this is the point where I bursted in laughter in the theater)
Ok, so the aliens are Mogarodians(Chuckle) Who, as said are bald aliens who hae sharpened teeth, wear kickass trenchcoats and have gills ON THEIR FACES. Wtf? How high does one need to be to invent something like this?
Enough sporfling about the Monrovians, we zoom into the life of one John Smith(seriously? That's his name? John Smith? Like if writers just didn't invent a good name for their main character and called him John Smith. And it's even joked about in the movie! ) Well, John Smith is one of the survivors of an alien race that lived on the planet Lorien(Where are these guys from? Middle Earth?) but he is one of the nine "special descendants" who possess weird skills kalled "The Legacy" that makes their palms glow. Yyeah.
So these nine are numbered from one to nine, and the Mongalords want to kill them(never explained why) in numerological order from one to nine(Again never explained why). Well, our main character John Smith is the number four(Like you couldn't guess that by now). Apparently the designer of these nine is a masochist, because when one of the nine dies, the other nine get a nice crop rings burned to their legs with a nice light effect (WHY?!??). Legacy grants the user weird powers, as for John Smith gains force push (really, now that's original)
If it is not clear by now, these aliens are badly developed. Why are they on Earth? What the hell is the purpose of these nine? How did they come to exist? TOO MANY QUESTIONS UNANSWERED!
Okay, John Smith and his childkeeper Henri move to a new town because the light effect was seen and taped by someone and was posted to youtube or something. They move to a new town, they fight a little, Smithy goes to school and just falls in love wth this girl who, for some reason, invites him to her home for dinner. After the dinner they move to the girl's room and JOHN JUST STARTS TO READ HER DIARY. Although she says that it's kinda private, she does nothing to stop him. and then he's openly an ass to the girl and then they fall in love. Well sorry to ruin your moment guys, but LOVE DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.
After that Johnny screws around again which results in photos in the internet of him doing the alien thing which results Henri's wish that they move away from the town. Results in a fight where Henri says at first that it's just a highschool crush and that he should forget it and after two minutes jsut says to him that their race falls in love only once (Well that made sense). And then they stay and stuff happens.
The town also happens to be the residence of the son of a guy named Malcolm who tried to unite the nine, because they were more powerful together(What was the point to separate them in the first place?)
Yeah, clichés. This movie has them alot.
And then there's the dog. Dog that was a lizard originally, but then turned to a dog and then suddenly was a fucking chimaira after being a dog for the whole movie. Convenient. Very. And then there are the Mogadishu people's hairless giant flying squirrels(oh yes, really.) This movie is very stupid.
I am not going to speak of the trial of romance in this movie, because it's identical to any other teenage love drama. But it's more stupid because it makes no sense.
And ou know the worst part of it? THEY ENDED IT OPENLY. I swear to god that if this shit is going to get a sequel, I'll watch Twilight again.
Bottomline: This movie was extremely stupid, do not go and watch it. Please. Don't go.

Now I officially need to die.
*sigh*
I watched Twilight.
Voluntarily.
AND MAN IT SUCKED. Just about the worst movie I have ever seen. On par with all of Uwe Boll's productions I have seen(And I have seen Alone in the Dark, mind you)
I lost count around seven when I counted the reasons why Bella should go see someone of medical profession. The girl clearly has problems. And his father does what? Abso-fucking-lutely nothing! Gives her a pepper spray and later quite clearly tells her to go out to town in the night.
The whole "Twilight saga" (Twilight was just the name of the first book, not of the series you idiots, you even fucked that up) completely wrecked the traditional vampire thing. Also, it was completely full of mistakes (And I mean it was full of them, not just continuity mistakes, but mistakes with their own vampire thing ,especially the sparkly thing). From those I was capable to keep a count, and am going to list them here to annoy you. From here follows spoilers(Like anyone cares) and utter stupidity. You have been warned. Run while you can.
-In the scene where Bella and Edward arrive to school together, as they are walking through the crowd you can see the sunshine on Edwards left cheek but no glittery effect is being shown at all.
-In the scene where Bella is talking to Edward just after she comes out of the doctor's office (when Edward, Carlisle and Rosalie are talking), you can very faintly see the rims of her contact lenses
-When Bella and Edward talk in the woods, Bella drops her backpack in front of a tree. In a subsequent shot, the backpack has disappeared.
- In the baseball scene, Rosalie slides into home and her pants are dirty. The next time she's up to bat, her pants are clean.
-When Bella is researching on the computer, she finds a page that spells the word "Apotamkin" (correctly), but when she opens the page, it now spells the word as Apotampkin.
-When Bella is at the salad bar in the lunchroom, she knocks over the apple and Edward catches it. In the next shot, neither Edward nor Bella have it.
-When Edward jumps out of the window, he drags a tree with him, but he isn't very close to it. Also when Edward jumps, he stays level to the ground. Just because he is a vampire it never means that he can disobey the laws of gravity.(At least was never explained)
-When Edward stops the truck from crushing Bella, it is clear that the side of the truck is crushed before it actually reaches them.
- In the hospital scene when Edward tells Bella she should go to Jacksonville you hear the heart monitor in the background and although Bella is visibly upset the heartbeat continues at the same rate.
- In the first biology lesson, Bella walks past the fan, and Edward's papers fly up. If the fan was in his direction anyway, his papers would have been flying up before Bella arrived.(Also while in front of the fan, her hair was messed up. Although as she sat, her hair was completely fine)
- there is a point where James rams Edward's head into the mirrors, shattering the surface. However, Edward's reflection on the shattered surface remains intact, instead of being a fractured reflection, as would have been the case when a mirror shatters.
-In the scene Edward comes into Bella's room and kisses her, Bella is at first wearing sweatpants. Then she is wearing shorts instead when they kiss.
-In the ballet studio fight scene, Bella grasps an injured right leg with her left hand. When Bella is in the hospital, the cast is obviously on the left leg which is under the blanket-the silhouette of the leg is straight and much larger than the right leg, which is thinner, flexed and has skin exposed at an area which would have been covered had it been in a bandage or cast. But when she and Edward go to prom, the injured leg is again the right leg, which is in a cast.
These are just the few I was capable to pick up. The glitter thing annoyed me the most, Because it was their own invention, and even then they didn't get it right. And, exactly what did Bella see in Edward? All the time he was just an annoying prick to her! Mentally healthy people do not work that way! AAAAARG! DIE STEPHANIE MEYERS, DIE!

I lost count around seven when I counted the reasons why Bella should go see someone of medical profession. The girl clearly has problems. And his father does what? Abso-fucking-lutely nothing! Gives her a pepper spray and later quite clearly tells her to go out to town in the night.
The whole "Twilight saga" (Twilight was just the name of the first book, not of the series you idiots, you even fucked that up) completely wrecked the traditional vampire thing. Also, it was completely full of mistakes (And I mean it was full of them, not just continuity mistakes, but mistakes with their own vampire thing ,especially the sparkly thing). From those I was capable to keep a count, and am going to list them here to annoy you. From here follows spoilers(Like anyone cares) and utter stupidity. You have been warned. Run while you can.
-In the scene where Bella and Edward arrive to school together, as they are walking through the crowd you can see the sunshine on Edwards left cheek but no glittery effect is being shown at all.
-In the scene where Bella is talking to Edward just after she comes out of the doctor's office (when Edward, Carlisle and Rosalie are talking), you can very faintly see the rims of her contact lenses
-When Bella and Edward talk in the woods, Bella drops her backpack in front of a tree. In a subsequent shot, the backpack has disappeared.
- In the baseball scene, Rosalie slides into home and her pants are dirty. The next time she's up to bat, her pants are clean.
-When Bella is researching on the computer, she finds a page that spells the word "Apotamkin" (correctly), but when she opens the page, it now spells the word as Apotampkin.
-When Bella is at the salad bar in the lunchroom, she knocks over the apple and Edward catches it. In the next shot, neither Edward nor Bella have it.
-When Edward jumps out of the window, he drags a tree with him, but he isn't very close to it. Also when Edward jumps, he stays level to the ground. Just because he is a vampire it never means that he can disobey the laws of gravity.(At least was never explained)
-When Edward stops the truck from crushing Bella, it is clear that the side of the truck is crushed before it actually reaches them.
- In the hospital scene when Edward tells Bella she should go to Jacksonville you hear the heart monitor in the background and although Bella is visibly upset the heartbeat continues at the same rate.
- In the first biology lesson, Bella walks past the fan, and Edward's papers fly up. If the fan was in his direction anyway, his papers would have been flying up before Bella arrived.(Also while in front of the fan, her hair was messed up. Although as she sat, her hair was completely fine)
- there is a point where James rams Edward's head into the mirrors, shattering the surface. However, Edward's reflection on the shattered surface remains intact, instead of being a fractured reflection, as would have been the case when a mirror shatters.
-In the scene Edward comes into Bella's room and kisses her, Bella is at first wearing sweatpants. Then she is wearing shorts instead when they kiss.
-In the ballet studio fight scene, Bella grasps an injured right leg with her left hand. When Bella is in the hospital, the cast is obviously on the left leg which is under the blanket-the silhouette of the leg is straight and much larger than the right leg, which is thinner, flexed and has skin exposed at an area which would have been covered had it been in a bandage or cast. But when she and Edward go to prom, the injured leg is again the right leg, which is in a cast.
These are just the few I was capable to pick up. The glitter thing annoyed me the most, Because it was their own invention, and even then they didn't get it right. And, exactly what did Bella see in Edward? All the time he was just an annoying prick to her! Mentally healthy people do not work that way! AAAAARG! DIE STEPHANIE MEYERS, DIE!
