The Blair Witch Project Movie Review

 Heard it was good in an Emperor Lemon video.

 A review of Blair Witch Project (1999) dir. Emperor Lemon.

This movie gets a lot of leeway by being a movie. If it were a YouTube video, I would be bored and go watch Jason Graves instead.

But since it is a movie, I kept watching and I felt the tension building the whole time. When Josh disappeared? Uh oh.

How did they release a soundtrack for this movie? Where is the music?

The ending was scary. The dude facing the corner doesn't make much sense until you remember the beginning of the movie. 

7/10 we had to watch Simpsons afterward to calm down.

Speed Movie Review

I wanted to watch Speed since Todd in the Shadows featured it in his video on the Top 10 Buses of the 90's. (Spoiler alert: It's #2). A review of Speed (1994) dir. Jan de Bont.

I was surprised by how few people died. Only 3 people died that I can remember, and one of them was the terrorist. Is this really an action movie? I am impressed with how tense the situation can be without losing a few souls.

Is the terrorist stupid? Why did he quit his job at the bomb squad? If he wanted money, he should ask for a raise. And why was he in the elevator when he was trying to blow up the elevator? 

At the same time, the police are stupid too. They didn't bother checking to make sure he actually died when he blew up in the beginning? They didn't even see it happen. They just followed the honor system. What happened to Jeff Daniels? Is he still alive?

I didn't know Pop Quiz Hotshots was named after this movie. When Keanu said "Pop quiz, hot shot" in the movie, my first thought was that he was referencing the show Doug Walker did while Nostalgia Critic was on hiatus. So much for No Nostalgia Critic November, I guess.

The stunts that go down in this movie are crazy. Honestly, they lost some steam when Keanu tried going under with a creeper. All the work on the bus was awesome. I thought the video camera and how they got around it were really clever.

7/10. Best movie of the 90s without Sam Raimi's name on it, or at least until I see The Game.

E3 Wishes and Expectations 2018 - Electronic Arts

So Electronic Arts is the first conference up at E3 2018. I've made it clear that I don't like Electronic Arts in the past, including last year's predictions post. But what do I want to happen this year at E3?

Well first of all, I would think it would be really cool if Electronic Arts would announce that Battlefield V is coming to Switch. I still wouldn't buy it, but shooter fans don't have much to buy a Switch for.

Wait, doesn't EA own the rights to the Simpsons license? And wasn't the last Simpsons game for a platform other than mobile way back in 2007? Why don't we get another Simpsons game? I would rather like that. I think that if the studio had some creative people in charge, a Simpsons title would do very well. The best part is that it doesn't even need to have loot boxes! It's a pre-established franchise, so it has brand power! And I know that EA makes tons of money off Tapped Out, so why not make it multiplat? PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, and heck, even put it on 360, PS3, and Wii U if you really can. That would be awesome.

PVZ Garden Warfare 2 is honestly not something I'm too familiar with. But PVZ is a game that I enjoy, so I wouldn't mind if Garden Warfare 2 found itself on my favorite Nintendo platform besides the GameCube, Wii, and Wii U.

What do I expect from Electronic Arts though?

I'm sure we'll get something about their sports titles. They have Madden and Fifa. I'm sure we'll hear something about their mobile games.

After their whole loot box fiasco last November, I'm sure we'll hear something about how Electronic Arts games will not have loot boxes, or will have very miniscule loot boxes, for the foreseeable future.

And finally, I'm 100% sure we'll see a lot of Anthem this year. Xbox showed off Anthem last year and it got a fair amount of showtime. With the release date inching closer, there might even be a demo of some sort. Probably not, but I can't say for sure.


So that's what I want and what I think Electronic Arts will show off. Now I only have all the other companies to talk about. See you later!
