Predictable, But Enjoyable
1 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Many of the people who are attacking the film are Brad Pitt Fans and they hate Angelina so much so they just talk about the film in a very bad way as you're watching a Razzie award film.

I don't approve a lot of Angelina behavior, but this film was so much fun to watch and it's a nice come back for her ( it's not a great film, and have a lot of mistakes, but it's so enjoyable to watch) The best thing of this film was the acting Angelina and all the cast including the little kid (who looks a lot like Shiloh with curly hair) were amazing they really made the film alive.

Many of the fans thought that this was going to be a full action package for Angelina like Tomb Raider, Wanted and Salt. But they were wrong this film is more a thriller than an action film and Angelina have some cool action scenes, but she's not powerful because she's just a firefighter ( I found her at The Axe fighting scene a resemble of the New Tomb Raider reboot, I don't know if that was intentional or they put it just like in the book, and to be honest I saw more Lara in that scene than Alicia in TR 2018).

Now to the problems: First, the idea of the film was very simple a dad gives his son an information written down and must delivers it to the press, but the film ends without giving the audience any idea of the information !

Sec, the kid just trusted Angelina like that agave her notes!!! Although his dad told him that he should be very careful!

Third, and the unforgivable problem was the sheriff wife (She was pregnant with a baby with six months and they through her on the table and nothing happen, and to make the matter worse she went after that to rescue her husband riding a horse AND THE BABAY NEVER CAME DOWN!!!

Batman Forever (I) (1995 Video Game)
3/10
Just Terrible !!!
25 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This game is probably one of the worst games of batman, and this wasn't the same respective when I was a kid back to the mid of the 90s. At that time I thought this was a great game (maybe due to the fact that I used to play this game a lot with my older brother: he used to pick Batman and I Robin, and we used to play and play for it for many hours), but now as an adult guy at my mid 30s I still can't believe that I used to like this game!

Now I find to so boring with no meaning at all, first the music is almost identical for all levels of the game. Then, the enemies are terrible and the programmers kept repeating them so after a while you feel like you are in a kind of Déjà vu thing (and you can't just ignore them you have to kill them all to go to the next place.

The game play or control is almost identical to the classic Mortal Kombat, which makes you feel that you're playing (Mortal Kombat sub-zero) but in a bad way.

As for the weapons they are bad and no matter how a great player you're they will not respond (or shall I say they'll respond occasionally) Just ignore this Game and play (Batman Forever the Arcade Game)

Power Stone (1999 Video Game)
10/10
This Game is a Must
18 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Power Stone is one of the best fighting games of the Dreamcast, as the matter of fact it's one of the main reasons to own this console.

What's special about it is that it brought to the gamers a totally different type of fighting that was in the market back then (it isn't like street fighters or Tekken: it a totally different type) First the whole environment is in a 3D mode (even the characters) and you can move totally free, and the fighting mode is the second thing to make you obsessed with it, you see, you can play from one to four characters and every character have a special power that will make you more strong and powerful but only if you collected the three stones before your enemy, and during this you must attack your enemies, beat and prevent them from getting the power stones: this will makes you feel as you were in a high speed car race ( but you'll like and love it ) To be honest the game isn't easy, it's difficult, but in a funny way that'll keep you attracted to it.

This game is a must for all the Dreamcast's owners.

Homecoming (1996 TV Movie)
8/10
RIP Grandma
17 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I still remember the first time when this film aired on the Television, I was 6 years old at that time and my grandma was visiting us for a week or so. I was alone watching TV Switching from channel to another to find something watchable and this film was on and I still that it was at the very beginning when their Mom left them in the car outside the mall.

After a while both my parents and Grandma came to the living room and I started to tell them about the film, so we all sat there and watch the rest of the film together and I still remembering my grandma said to me once while we were watching that (God will not let the big sister down because she didn't let her young brothers and sister down), and that what happened at the end of the film.

What was amazing about this film is its simplicity from the story, directing to the acting ,even the young kids played their parts so natural: I didn't notice that till very recent that the young girls was the same young girl in Forest Gumb 1994 (whom Tom Hanks felt in love with and married)!

I Wish Hallmark would make movies like this one because unfortunately all of they produce lately are Junks with no meanings and actors who can't act!!!

Anyway My Grandmother passed away 4 years ago and every time I watch this film I remember her as it's just yesterday Rest in Peace Grandma.

Fighting Force 2 (1999 Video Game)
2/10
Just Stay Away
9 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I really don't know what to say about this game!

Let's say that after the huge hit of the Tomb Raider Franchiser both Core and Eidos decided to change the game style to make it more serious but at the same time keep the fun part of the game, and here is the biggest problem: the game lost its theme because it failed to give you the old feeling and the purpose of it (which makes you entertain and remove you're stress: because let's be honest this is why this game was made for). So all the time I felt daisy and uncomfortable while playing it I could feel happy or serious or even to feel that I was a serious mission!

Another terrible thing they've done is that they kept only one single player (removed all the other characters), but the worse thing was the enemies in previous sequels they're easy, here they became so stupid, doll and very dumb in a way the gives you a big headache.

My advice to all of you is: skip this game and stay away from it as much as possible.

Fighting Force (1997 Video Game)
8/10
Amazing!!!
8 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Fighting Force was originally going to be the fourth installment of Streets of Rage actually: it was originally to be released under the name of (Streets of Rage 3D), but due to some problem with Sega it's released for both the PlayStation and Nintendo64 under the name of (Fighting force), Sega however released competitive game for the Saturn (Die hard 3D) The concept of the game is almost identical to streets of rage with a 3D background and characters, it's has a lot of weapon and a lot of fun moments like drinking from the Coke Machine to recover your health and it has a lot of movements.

This game gives you the same or even more the amount of action and fun that the original Series did.

Highly recommend it.

Streets of Rage 3 (1994 Video Game)
8/10
Highly Recommend It
6 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
For many years this game was supposed to be the final installment for the series (although a game with the same style released on both PS1 and Nintendo 64 and was going to be released also for Saturn under the same name it's changed to fighting force after falling of the negotiation with Sega) a fourth one was released last year for all consoles.

Without any doubt this is the best game among the three they really enhanced the graphics so much and add also a few movements and more characters to play with: there was also another feature that makes you be able to ride the motorcycles (unfortunately it was removed you can only see it at the game trailer).

The game style is almost identical to second one, except the health packages are fewer than the first two installment which led met to rate the game 7 out of 10 (same as the previous ones)

Final word: even though I rated the three games the same rate that doesn't make one of them any less than the other, and I feel it's much more better to produce sequels at the same level than to give a great sequel followed with a bad one (just like what happened to tomb raider franchise or just bad sequels lead the programmers to cancel it just what happened to Golden Axe.

Streets of Rage 2 (1992 Video Game)
7/10
Great Sequel
5 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Streets of Rage 2 is the second installment for this franchise it came only one year after the first game and for me it is superior to the first in many aspects :

First, the characters are bigger to be specific they're double sized which make the vision more comfortable.

Sec, there are new movements that makes the player more comfort and confident .

The final thing is it's much easier than the first game (some would call it improvement and some wouldn't).

However I didn't gave it a higher rate for ONE ISSUE: which is removing the helping button (you know the one that police helps you by firing the enemies) and someone might say that the add a powerful one which will make your kicks more powerful and it's not just for one time, you can do it many times ( but the main problem of this is that every time you use it you'll lose an amount of your health and if you kept using it you will die, and that's why I couldn't gave this game more than 7 points just like the previous one.

Streets of Rage (1991 Video Game)
7/10
Unforgettable
4 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Streets of rage was one of Sega biggest hits for Sega Genesis back in early 90s.

I still remember me and big brother playing this game for hours and hours trying to beat the game, and we were so amazed by the reality of this game ( I know now people may laugh while hearing this, but back then it was so realistic) grapping things from the street and using them as a weapon, and the most interesting thing was the helping button: calling the cops to help you when you are in trouble ( this thing is for me the best feature on this game comparing with later sequels which programmers decided with no reason to remove it .

The main question many people or gamers will ask: is this still a great game? And my answer will depend on your point of view ( if you are and old gamer or a classics collector you will certainly do, but on the other hand of you don't like classics, you'll have to skip it because it's totally different from today's games.

Resident Evil: Code: Veronica (2000 Video Game)
6/10
The Real Final One Of The Series
24 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I have a mix feeling for this game : on one had it has the best graphic you can see from the whole classic RE Series ( and without forgetting that this was the final REAL RE ), but on the other had the story and the place where you're playing are boring ( with a lot of repetition) the small mansion is almost identical to RE1 not to mention going foreword to playing it with both Claire & Chris which gave me a headache (because after i finished the mansion with Claire and playing a little at Antarctica i had to go back and play at the same places i played previously ).

The enemies were boring same dog ,spiders Even the hunters were not scary at all like RE1 and dumb!!!

there were a lot of bosses including the final one remind me a lot of Parasite Eve ( and believe me i'm not a fan of this game at all) that made me wonder : i'm playing RE or PE.

the only boss or Evil character i liked was The Robot Wesker he is one of the few reasons to play this game.

Final word if you are a big fan to the Classic RE Series you must own this one or play it once because it's the last original one ( If you didn't include RE Remake and RE Zero ) because lets be honest RE4 is more like an Action Evil Than Resident Evil .

The Main Reason Why I Still Owning PS1 After All these years
1 May 2020
A lot of the new generation hate this type of games, but for us ( the old generation) this game was and still best of the best, and that's because i was a huge different from other games including horror drama and action (even the silly dialogue is funny to hear). these kind of games are one of the best ways to use your brain (not like new games that they told you everything where to go and what to do) one of the best games of the 90s i'll give it 10 out of 10

Enemy Zero (1996 Video Game)
10/10
Invisible Aliens !!!
27 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is the second game that the late Kenji Eno made after his famous game D 1995 and it was exclusive to Sega Saturn . First to all this game is very hard to get due to it's limited edition on the net, but it deserve every penny ( if u are a big fan of hard games). the story is very similar to Alien 1979 but the main deference is that enemies here are invisible ( i guess that's why the called it Enemy Zero). which makes it a big challenge to win this game, even you have a limited shots and if you missed one shot the Alien will kill you instantly ( i know it's annoying, but that's what make this game different from other games. i'll give this game 10 out of 10

Stupid but I loved it
8 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I know a lot of guys hate this film, but I really liked it not because it's a great one but because it made me laugh at every scene of it. There's kind of films that are stupid and boring and a others that are laughable because how stupid they are. ( I guess u can call it a guilty pleasure kind of films like phantom brother).

Anyway the acting is so stupid that makes you laugh every time the actors open their mouths and talk not to mention the heroin speech ( she sounds like a Marilyn Monroe version for the early 50s).

The first sentence that the boyfriend is saying was so hilarious ( we had a problems we need to solve) I mean come on while she's swimming!!!

And the shower scene when her friend surprise her and open the curtain while she takes the shower she wears an underpants!!! ( So obviously the actress didn't want to get frontal so why the director didn't show us her full body !!! It was so stupid and a dumb thing to do.

The killer character was by itself something, I mean through the whole movie we didn't understand why he was doing all these murders even at the end when the heroin talks about what happens the investigations that the police did the next day the didn't know anything about him or where he comes from ( so we wasted our time by watching a killer we will never know anything about him).

At the end if u want to laugh by watching a silly film just grab this one other than this I heighly recommend you to stay as far as you can from it.

Witchtrap (1989)
1/10
Well.....
30 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This film was bad very bad.

First the actors were bad the couldn't act they have always the same face whether they were happy sad or terrified!!! And they talked liked a vintage film like they're teaching children who to pronounce English ( i know they dubbed the sound again due to technical problems but this wasn't an excuse at all) .

And how about their stupid jokes that were always out offline and unnecessary to use ( so you are watching a first year old student who tries to be funny!).

The story is so dull and boring OH LORD, at the end of the 80s we just see the same story line of possessed house with nothing special and please don't let me start with the Medium character that was play by Kathleen Bailey ( she is a very religious person and she wears shorts and showing her body like that all the time!!!) not to mention her terrible acting .

It's so sad the this film was made by the same guy who created witchboard Just forget that this film was ever made and save your time and watch the original.

Golden Axe II (1991 Video Game)

Nothing New
26 January 2020
After the huge success of the first game Sega wanted to make another sequel ( I don't know if it was for many of to gain more fans for Sega ) But anyway there is nothing new to the game just a model where you can fight in a battle like Mortal Kombat but it was also unnecessary thing to do because you don't get the feel of combat fight and it's too short . So, again the moves are the same the controls Are also the same they changed the sounds and the characters looks ( but also I prefer the first one).

D no Shokutaku (1995 Video Game)
10/10
One of the best games of the 90s
1 August 2019
Warning: Spoilers
D is a horror game was first published for the 3DO but due to the failer of the counsel ( because of it's highly price) this games was reproduced to the PlayStation and Sega Saturn in 1995. The game is one of the hardest games u can ever met : it has a lot of difficult puzzles with unlimited horror scenes that would u jump of your seat. One if hardest puzzle that I can still remember was a door that can only open with a ring !!! Honestly who would every thought about that. And you have to be aware of the time because you only have two hours to play the game after entering the castle ( with no saving system) other wise u will be dead. One of the remarkable and annoying this of this game is Laura's father voice that's stii reminding me of the voices of the first Resident Evil character ( annoying but at the same time remarkable and funny) Great game and a must have for both the Saturn and PlayStation owners.
