[Film Review] Killshot

Overview:

Last summer, I read Elmore Leonard’s crime novel “Killshot” and enjoyed it. Then weeks later I read that shooting of a feature film based on the book had wrapped and I got excited. Not simply because I was eager to see the movie, but because after years of listening to my more intellectual friends complaining about how Hollywood movies ruined books they had enjoyed, I was FINALLY going to get to stroke my own intellectual beard and utter those words that gave them so much smug satisfaction: “the book was much better.” Then the movie essentially made the argument for me by going strait-to-DVD.

[Game News] Metroid Prime: Trilogy – All 3 Prime Games, One Wii Disc

Nintendo has recently announced their plans to bring all 3 entries of the critically acclaimed Metroid Prime series to the Wii on a single disc with the title of Metroid Prime: Trilogy.

Trilogy will feature completely revamped versions of Metroid Prime 1 & 2 which include slightly updated visuals and the obvious inclusion of motion controls, likely the exact same scheme we saw with Metroid Prime 3. Metroid Prime 3 will be released just as it was the first time around on the Wii in August of 2007. Continue reading

[Tech News] Nintendo Deals a Crushing Blow to Handheld Pirates

A short while ago we reported on a small piracy device called the Supercard DS(onei) that seemed to put piracy on the winning side of the war for a good long while. Nintendo, however, found a way to combat the thieves by teaming up with both eBay and Amazon to cease all sales of the Supercard, R4, AceKard or any flashcart used to pirate handheld games.

The Everyview Update – 05/24/09

Here’s something new I’m going to try. I got some useful site feedback from a regular reader reporting that he opted out of reading on Sundays because he didn’t like the Weekly Recaps. His reasoning was that people will read what they want and that we could fit in more posts if we allowed articles to go up on Sunday as well. More posts means more entertainment. More entertainment means more traffic. We love traffic.

So to prove that we actually do care what our readers think about our site, allow me to introduce the Everyview Update. Taking the place of the Weekly Recap, the Everyview Update will do everything the Recap did and much more.

Awesome!

Oh, and many of you have probably noticed that this post is being published on Monday and not Sunday even though the date in the title points to a Sunday publication. This was meant to be published on Sunday, not Monday, but it turns out I have bronchitis and am very tired and feel like boogers and puke, so I slept instead. Future installments will come on Sundays.

Our Recap

From our Blog Roll

  • GrubGrade gives us a review of the tantalizing Arby’s Roast Turkey Ranch & Bacon Market Fresh Sandwich (what a mouthful!)
  • SuperPhillip shows us that Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat is still a great game, even without that Bongo Controller
  • The Impulsive Buy reviewed the Morningstar Farms Hickory BBQ Riblets, showing us how good some vegetarian food is, and why all vegetarians are always broke
  • The Tancave reads and reviews Star Trek Voyager: Full Circle, a novel that through the entire series onto his must-have list
  • We-Rate-Stuff takes a look at the short-lived but fondly remember Summer Heights High, obscure and underrated HBO TV series
  • World 1-1 is taking an indefinite break from posting. Indefinite doesn’t mean permenant, it just means until further notice. I’m sure he’ll be back and better than ever in no time.

Special thanks

A Much Deserved Thanks to all Who Voted in “Blank Check” VS “First Kid”

The results are officially off the wire, and they have declared me, Clay Cunningham, and, most importantly, “First Kid” the winner of the first ever “Master Debate.”

These last few days have been rough on me, with the constant campaigning creating many sleepless nights. What’s worse is that on the rare occasions when sleep did occur, I would quickly be awoken from my slumber, drenched in frigid sweat, as all I could dream of was living in a nightmarish world where people were more inclined to vote for “Blank Check.” Luckily for all of us, that world will never come to be.

[Energy Drink News] Red Bull Cola Banned in Germany for Containing Cocaine

Everyone knows it’s true that Coca-Cola used to contain traces of cocaine as one of the primary ingredients. But that was way back in 1885, way before anyone knew just how powerful of a narcotic cocaine really was. Of course the Coke Company no longer allows anything short of 100% de-cocainized coca leaf extract, the plant from which the drug is derived, to be used as an ingredient in their immensely popular soft drink.

“Blank Check” VS “First Kid” The Results Are In!

Hey there everyone, today marks the 7th day of our premiere Master Debate’s Launch which means it’s time to close the polls and announce the winner! We had lots of votes and tons of support, so thanks to everyone who voted!

The face off was between Everyview Editor Clayton Cunningham and up-and-coming Contributor Andrew Majors. The debate was an intense and bloodthirsty battle between two “classic” live-action Disney films from the early t0 mid 1990’s, “First Kid” and “Blank Check” a battle worthy of gladiatorial status and recognition.

Movie News: New Ghostbusters Film?

In news that appeals to me as a man-child, The LA Times recently got some news from one of the franchises stars, Dan Aykroyd, about the next installment of the 80’s Film franchise. The entire gang seems to be on board, including Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, producer Ivan Reitman, and the final piece to the puzzle, BILL FREAKING MURRAY! That’s right, baby. Bill Murray is busting ghosts again. And you can color me bonered. Aykroyd has mentioned that production could start as soon as this winter!
