A while back I reviewed an anti-energy shot called Mini Chill, a product that helped you cool off, focus, and relax instead of hyping you up with energy. It was very effective and I enjoyed it so much that I awarded it a near-perfect 9.0/10. It’s a truly spectacular little drink and I highly recommend it to everyone.

I know what you’re thinking. “Oi, I’m Zac Pritcher and I’m so busy eating cereal that I don’t realize some people aren’t well-funded enough to purchase such products! Herp Derp!” Am I right?

Well then, this is your lucky day. The folks over at Minichill.com are hosting a contest in which you will have the chance to win a not only an entire case of Mini Chill, but also a $50 gift card for you to spend on whatever you want! For a full list of rules, head on over to Minichill.com.

[Movie Review] The Ugly Truth

ugly_truth_poster2I loathe Katherine Heigl. No, I don’t know the lady, and she might actually be a pleasant person (which I doubt), but ever since she started talking about how sexist the dialogue was in Knocked Up she lost all credibility. Then, she makes a film like The Ugly Truth, which is actually more crass, more vulgar, and terrible to boot, and I haven’t heard her make a peep about it.

But, I always put personal feelings about celebrities aside, and if they can make good films I give them a pass. After all, my personal opinion about celebrities matters not at all. But make no mistake about it, this movie is awful. Not that I expected anything special, but I thought that maybe I would get a few laughs out of a junky romantic comedy, but there aren’t any to be found in this pile of mess.

The movie’s premise is paper thin to begin with. Heigl plays a Sacramento TV producer who is a control freak and has trouble with men. Big surprise. On the quest for bigger ratings, she sells out after her co-worker Mike (Gerard Butler) begins his segment “The Ugly Truth” on the newscast each night. Of course, Mike brings the much sought after ratings, and Abby slowly begins to accept that Mike is her meal ticket.

[Food Review] Five Guys Burgers and Fries

It can be hard to find a good burger. I don’t mean a tasty burger. I don’t mean a cheap burger. I mean a delicious, juicy, fully satisfying burger topped with plenty of crisp veggies and stuffed between a flavorful bun. Burgers like that are hard to come by. Unless, of course, you live anywhere near a Five Guys restaurant.

I had originally heard about Five Guys from a post on Grub Grade and my mind was clouded with nothing but thoughts of the delicious-looking burgers ever since. I had finally gotten my chance to satisfy my insane hunger for Five Guys during a trip to Cincinnati to see Marcy Playground. In all honesty, words can hardly describe how delicious the meal was, so I’ve included a few pictures to help me out a little.

[Book Review] “World War Z” by Max Brooks

worldwarz-bookZombies are pretty sweet right? For decade after decade zombie films have held the attention of people everywhere, especially in the good ol’ U S of A. It’s safe to say that Americans have a pretty hardcore obsession with the idea of a zombie apocalypse, and there’s no shortage of killer zombie films or games out there. But what about the 1% of Americans that still read books for entertainment? Are there any awesome zombie books? You’d better believe it.

I love zombie movies. They’re gory, brutal, and on occasion very disturbing. Before I had read “World War Z” I had a really hard time believing that the genre could make the leap from the big screen to printed paper. I seriously could not have been more mislead.

Max Brooks has set up “World War Z” as an expansion on his first zombie book “The Zombie Survival Guide.” The basic idea is that a disease known as “Solanum” has begun reanimating human beings as flesh starved zombies. Sounds pretty familiar, am I right? The familiar concept quickly spirals into an utterly perfect story following the human struggle to outmatch the “zombies.”

[Movie Review] Humpday (DVD)

Overview:

humpdayLast week I reviewed a movie that Zac Pritcher, the beacon of enlightenment that he is, referred to as “a vampire movie that isn’t for faggots” in a desperately unsuccessful attempt to bring in readership from the hardass crowd. I’m curious to know what his reaction will be when he reads the synopsis for this latest piece of pointless schlock.

Plot Summary:

Humpday starts when Ben (Mark Duplass) and Anna (Alycia Delmore), a young married couple are awoken in the middle of the night by Andrew (Joshua Leonard, looking like he could be Zach Galifiankis’ brother), Ben’s freewheelin’ college friend who stops by for a surprise visit. After the old friends attend a party thrown by hippie lesbians, they hear of a porn festival entitled “Humpfest,” where patrons enter their own homemade porno movies.

After numerous debates, the two heterosexual friends, both feeling the need to push their limits, decide to make “an erotic art film” in which they have sex on camera. Naturally the decision does not go over well with Ben’s wife.

[Game Review] Manhunt 2 (Wii)

Developer: Rockstar Toronto/Rockstar London
Publisher: Rockstar Games
Genre: Stealth/Action

I’m a video game elitist. I’m picky about the games I play, and I’m extremely particular about games I enjoy. Oftentimes I feel like games are TOO complicated and complex for me to enjoy. I get lost, and not in the good way, between missions and tasks and side missions and side tasks that I never feel like I’m progressing enough in the game to warrant the amount of time I invest into the game. You fly through the first couple of missions, feeling good, and then all of a sudden you end up between 30% and 60% completed before you really hit the wall, where the game becomes a chore rather than entertaining.

Manhunt 2 centers around Danny Lamb, an escapee from a mental hospital, and his pursuit of the truth. Now, I didn’t play Manhunt so I probably missed a lot of backstory because of that, and perhaps that actually allows me to enjoy the game enough for what it is. I have no expectations from the previous game for the sequel to live up to.

[Energy Drink Review] Blood Energy Potion

Blood Energy Potion is a new energy shot from Mana, the people behind both the Mana Energy Potion and Health Energy Potion, two products which have established themselves as fantastically effective energy shots despite their seemingly “novelty” vibe. Plus they look like something straight out of a video game, and that’s something I can totally dig. But Blood has a completely different theme than its predecessors, ditching the WoW crowd and attempting to capitalize on a whole new breed of human beings. The Vampire fans.

I hate vampires. There’s just nothing about them that appeals to me, and as far as I’m concerned they are the lamest creatures of supernatural lore this side of Frankenstein’s Monster. Maybe it’s just because I’m not a 13 year old girl enfatuated with the series of horrible Twilight books and movies, who knows? Most likely it’s because I’m a zombie guy, and I always have been.

Genre: First Person Shooter

To be honest, I never picked up on the Modern Warfare craze until about a year ago, I played a few system link matches with my younger brothers and some friends and I was hooked. Naturally I opted to get Modern Warfare 2, which dropped last Tuesday (Nov. 10th), and I cleared my schedule for the day to play it.

Seasoned veterans of the original Modern Warfare will rejoice with the newest installation. The same fast paced, globe spanning ops of some of the worlds best special forces units holds up in MW2. You play now as Army Rangers, or Task Force 141, which is a fictional super group of soldiers that stomp the face’s of global terrorists into dirt. Which is awesome.

[Movie Review] Thirst (DVD)

thirstOverview:

Like a lot of people burned out with Twilight-mania, I am fucking sick of vampires, and generally have little to no interest in reading, seeing or hearing anything about them. That being said, when I heard of the Korean vampire movie Thirst, I was instantly enticed for one simple reason, and that reason was its director, the great Chan-wook Park.

For those of you (likely everyone) unfamiliar with the work of Park, he specializes in ultra-violent revenge films, most notably the 2005 masterpiece Oldboy, which ranks second on my list of the best movies of the new millennium (trailing only Feardotcom).

While Thirst doesn’t reach the heights of that brilliant film, it is an undeniably effective and jarring thriller well worth seeing for anyone who has the stomach for it.
