Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (2004)
great game despite a little déjà-vu feeling
SUMMARY BELOW
Ace Combat : The Unsung WAR(US) or SQUADRON LEADER (PAL) is the fifth title in the flightsim - arcade mix Ace Combat series and the second to appear on the playstation 2. And as his predecessor it is one of the most beautiful games ever made on this console. It has almost photo-realistic graphics (although ground-textures are a little blurry due to disk space restrictions) and a very, very impressive soundtrack. Great sound effects too. The story progresses through the game in CGIcut-scenes between the missions and has a story that outruns many many films made today. Some great scenes are:
******SPOILERS***** Don't read these if you want to enjoy the game to its fullest.
- sinking of the Kestrel - Yukotbanian fleet defecting - salute to crashed wingman
******End Spoilers***
* Besides the campaign-mode there's an arcade mode in which you play Moebius 1, the character of Ace Combat 4. While progressing, you can choose out of various airplanes, and by filling their kill bar you can unlock more advanced upgraded versions of them. As for the ingame part, reloading during missions by crossing the return line is no longer possible, you have to do it with the payload you get at the start, so use your missiles wisely and your guns intensely. Another great thing is the higher difficulty rate and the increased number of missions; from 18 to 27. Some other things that changed is the possibility to give your wingman simple commands using the D-pad and the fact that you can answer questions during the missions whit a simple yes or no, which sometimes changes the course of the game and let you play other missions. This means if you want to unlock all of the planes, you have to go through the game at least twice making different choices along the road.But it's not perfect, besides some minor glitches it has a rather repetitive gameplay if your not a flightsimfan: there are only so many things you can do with a plane and they forgot(?) to implement the 2-player option (as in ac4) or the hoped online-mode. Some missions have a more then suspicious resemblance with some of Ace Combat 4 (Stonehenge Offensice and the Fortres, anyone?)or previous versions. But the storyline is so good and there are so many things to unlock that those flaws don't bother you until you finish the game for like the 8th time.
PRO - the only worthwhile flightsim on the ps2 - great mix between sim and arcade - great graphics and sound - a lot of missions, both in campaign and arcade - a lot of planes - giving commands to your wingman - very easy learning curve - great TOP-GUN like dogfights
CON - repetitive after a while an very similar gameplay compared to AC04 - ground textures slightly downgraded to make space - some missions are very alike of those in previous versions causing a bit of a deja-vu
CHANGES TO ACE COMBAT 04 - no return line or reloading - no auto-pilot (d-pad for giving orders)
Rent or buy? Buy! you can't go wrong with this title and renting it for a couple days only gives you a slight peek in the fun you'll have laying this game
Ocean's Eleven (2001)
And we are supposed to just walk out the casino with 150 million dollars?
Top cast. Top story. Top director. Lousy ending.. (just let me explain before i get shot,OK?) The movie is very good,the actors play their roles very believable and Andy Garcia is the coolest casino boss i ever saw (except from Robert de Niro in Casino).The whole thing is filmed very good and the way they robbed the casino is hilarious.But then the movie falls.It could have been a perfect movie if it ended when Garcia steps into the elevator after the robbery and the doors close.But nooo,they had to explain everything and show all that happens leaving no space for your imagination.I am sorry but I like a "lock stock and two smoking barrels" ending,that ending stays in your head for I don't know how long.I am not saying it is a bad movie,not at all,I really enjoyed watching it and i will definitely buy the d.v.d.,but it is just,why that ending? I don't want to spoil the movie for you but i am sure that if you go see it,you'll think the same.Take care...
Les rivières pourpres (2000)
Depressed cop in depressed village
This is a typical film noir ; it has all the elements. A depressed citycop ,nobody knows what his problem is , comes to a small village to solve a terrible murder.And this is just the beginning,he bumps into people who hate him and into people who like them,but soon he finds out that the ones who like them have more to do with the murders then the others,although... Nothing seems what it is,in this incredible good plot the turns in the story are like the ones you make when catched by a twister. The big climax at the end may be a litle over the edge but it stays credible. Strange diseases,the university and the hospital,all are they factors in an horrible and evil program for a more evil purpose.. And to finish i just want to stress on the very good acting,and the good casting,although i don't watch many french films,i would never have gone to see this if i had a choice but i will be eternally grateful to my teacher who send us to this movie,it was a pleasant surprise,and i would like to reccomend it to everybody who like a good thriller.

Statement :THIS FILM RULES Motivations : - megagood hilarious dialogues
The adventures they have are so funny the people in the cinema looked at me with a strange compassionate look while i was holding my stomach before the screen because i couldn't stop laughing. Then the psychiatrists came and get me. So this film can be dangerous if you like good comedy-movies GO SEE IT,STOP READING GO GO GO!!!!! vilnius from belle-vue.
