Cool Video: Assasin’s Creed Lineage, short movie hits youtube…

“Assasin’s Creed Lineage” is a short movie that is based on the hit video game for the PS3/Xbox. The movie has been exclusively released for youtube only.

I actually watched the whole thing and it was actually pretty cool. I never played the two, “Assasin’s Creed” video games, but after seeing this movie makes me want to buy them.

Check it out, this is a very cool movie and cool story.

It’s amazing how Metallica is doing this. If some Metallica shows in their tour cancel ’cause of this, I would understand.

If other famous bands had a missing fan at their concert, they would ignore it completely. Not with Metallica. They love their fans so much, and them helping out, really shows!

Thought: Rocky 7??? I’d say bring it on Sly!!!

Rumours hit the internet that Sylvester Stallone is working on another Rocky, the 7th installment to continue from where it left off from, “Rocky Balboa”.

Of course, the public is shitting on it, accusing Sly that he’s too old to do another Rocky, the public don’t want another one, blah blah blah.

The rumours probably isn’t true, but if it is. Why not? The more Rocky, the better. “Rocky Balboa” was a really good movie, but it could have been made much better.

What plot would Sly have for “Rocky 7”? Would Sly train another boxer? No, that would be a repeat of Rocky V, since Rocky was a retired boxer training another fighter, that Tommy Gunn guy.

What if Rocky’s son, Robert Balboa Jr. dreams of becoming a boxer and Rocky tries to get his son a boxing career? Sounds like a good enough plot to me.

There are many ideas that could make another Rocky movie work and that people would like. Remember, back when Sly announced he was doing Rocky 6, everybody hated that idea too, but when the movie actually came out and it became, “Rocky Balboa”, Sly is all of a sudden respected by movie fans.

So don’t immediately assume that, “Rocky 7” would suck if Sly really did decide to work on it. This is called creative writing. Sly is always coming up with ideas.

If Sly is still doing action movies doing his own stunts in the “Expendables” and he will probably do his own stunts in “Rambo 5”, I don’t see why he can’t be physical for another Rocky. Why not?

I’d say do another one. I’m sure Sly will speak out on this soon, to say whether this news is true or not. Probably not, but it would be cool.

“JCVD” is one of Jean Claude’s best films ever…seriously check it out!!

Over the week, I bought the film “JCVD” on DVD. I never saw the film before. I’ve wanted to see it in theater, but the film was only playing in selected theaters in the U.S. since this is a French movie.

Jean Claude hasn’t made a great movie in years. Some of my favorite Jean Claude Van Damme movies are: “Blood Sport”, “Universal Soldier”, “Nowhere To Run”, and “Kickboxer”. That’s about it I believe.

I watched “JCVD”, last night and was really really impressed by it. The film is actually great. Jean Claude stars as himself in the film.

The film tells a story about an action star named, Jean Claude Van Damme, of course, who is struggling to get his life back together. He’s about to lose his family and his movie career. After losing a custody battle with his daughter in court, JCVD goes to the post office to get a wire transfer, only to find himself being held hostage in a robbery. At first, the movie tries to make it look like that JCVD was holding the post office hostage when it was another robber really doing it. JC was later being framed for robbing the post office.

I would seriously reccomend this movie, this movie reminded me of Al Pacino’s “Dog Day Afternoon”.

I wish this movie, “JCVD” had a wider release. Jean Claude’s acting skills was actually fantastic in this film. The film was beautifully made, and a pretty thrilling movie.

Definitely check it out. I think it’s Jean Claude’s best film since “Bloodsport”.

Report: America still loves Garth Brooks…

Garth Brooks thought no one cared for him anymore when he left the music business a while back, but now that he has returned, he is so wrong. Garth’s first 20 shows at the Wynn Las Vegas resort all sold out in less than five hours.

The Associated Press reports:

Well Garth, I think this calls for a new album. Go back in the studio soon please!

That’s sad, he’s a talented man, so hope he’s okay. I’ll be on the lookout for more news about this.

First look at the new A-Team

New pic of the A-Team remake, new cast starring the A-Team. It’s a painting or a graphic design of the cast. It’s pretty close to the original cast from the TV series.

Looks awesome, and can’t wait.

Why isn’t Rampage wearing Mr. T’s golden chain necklaces? I’m sure he would be wearing them for the film.

I hope this film won’t be a comedy, it would be a mix of action and drama like the TV show. I’m sure it would stay true to the TV show.
