Movie of the Week: Collateral, Directed by Michael Mann
Let me start by saying I am not a huge Tom Cruise fan. In fact, I would go so far as to say I do not like him. However, Collateral is one movie that I can make a huge exception for. For one, Tom Cruise’s character is actually believable, and for another I do like Jamie Foxx. With some abstract and colorful shots, Michael Mann films a brilliant Crime/Thriller.
5/5 stars
Song of the Week: After Hours, By We are Scientists
I discovered this band on myspace and this was one of the first songs on their playlist. The repetative but catchy lyrics keep me listening again and again. My favourite song by We are Scientists.
4/5 stars
Video Game of the Week: Halo 3, Xbox 360
One of my friends is absolutely obsessed with this game and plays it with me whenever we get together. After having him humiliate me every time we played, I finally managed to beat him five times in a row and have since then come to appreciate the game. Halo 3 has fantastic graphics and some of the best online on the console. The only downside to this game is the campaign is stretched out and repetitive. Still, Bungie has cranked out a game that will be remembered for a long, long time.
4/5 stars
