Virtual Tourist - Star Wars The Old Republic 7/22/12
Hm, my daughter didn't leave me any Secret World pics. Shame!
First my Imperial Spy on Alderaan
What's fun on trying to take pictures while she's ridding the transport beast is that the trees take a few seconds to generate, so sometimes you can get clearer vista shots. Heh.
Don't look down!
A defended power plant compound
This was a fun mission. You had to open up the power generator and then my guest companion gummed up the works with Killick flying baby bugs.
Finally got to see more of House Cortesse. Heh.
The wife is in Big Trouble.
A set of ruins with a statue that match some other aqueduct looking ruins. Never spotted this when I was here for the Republic.
Finally got off Alderaan and tried to finish the space mission which had been kicking my buns after upgrading my ship parts. Still took me five more times. This sucker is way under rated!!!! Made me work! lol.
On the Republic side with my Jedi Consular on Belsavis.
The strange mix of jungle and cold always gets me.
Caught a glimpse of one of the new bonus vehicles for getting peeps to try out the game. Looks like a Tatooine Pod Racer.
Nasty looking creature.
Some have been tamed by the escape prisoners.
Entrance leading down to some of the old technology sections the Republic built over with the prison to hide.
This race, which we've encountered before, seem to be the keepers of the ancient race I am looking for. Slowly making progress. :)
Have an awesome Sunday!

Movie Review - Dark Knight Rises
Dark Knight Rises
Starring: Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Matthew Modine, Ben Mendelsohn, Burn Goreman, and more.
Directed by: Christopher Nolan Screenplay by: Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan Story by: Christopher Nolan and David S Goyer Based on the characters created by: Bob Kane Cinematography by: Wally Pfister Original Music by: Hans Zimmer
Premise: After an eight year retirement due to injuries received both physically and spiritually at the end of "The Dark Knight", Bruce Wayne finds himself paying attention to the outside world after Selina Kyle sneaks into the mansion during a benefit, and steals more than just his mother's pearl necklace. This incident is but one in a chain of events, prompted by the new villain Bane, that will bring Gotham down a road that might end in its utter destruction. (Rated PG-13)
Review:
1) Acting - Total Thumbs Up: Great work from all the actors involved. Christian Bale showed many sides of Bruce Wayne and Batman that we don't normally see as he is tested unlike ever before. Michael Caine rose to his usual standards and even got more play than usual as Alfred tries to deal with Bruce getting back into the game and other problems. Anne Hathaway was a super fun Selina Kyle. She had several great one liners, which were delivered perfectly.
2) Special Effects - Thumbs Up: Some old and new vehicles make an appearance - The Bat was funky looking, but served very well. Several new gadgets also showed up used to good effect. The roaming EMP field made for a very cool scene in the car tunnel.
The Bane here is not the Bane from the DC Comic's story line when he was introduced into the DC universe about ten years ago, so no real special effects were used on him. However, the beginning action sequence and the major one when Bane announces his presence officially in Gotham were visually awesome.
3) Plot/Story - Thumbs Up: I was very heavy into comic books many years ago and was there when the Bane was first introduced into Batman's world. If you were as well, just forget everything you know before you go see this film. While some major bits were kept, much was either placed in a different position or changed heavily. Venom, for example, which was the main reason for Bane's odd getup and strength/speed, is not used at all - rather Bane is as bad as he is because he had similar training to Batman's.
One nice bit was how this film tied back to matters which occurred in the first and second films creating continuity. That being said, again if you've read the comics from way back, you'll need to forget what you know about people I won't mention so as not to give things away.
I did enjoy the handling of Selina Kyle and it stayed true in most respects. Though I found it funny that not once was she ever called Cat Woman. And while the lower part of her suit was very reminiscent of several incarnations of the character, they did a real cute thing for her head. She had a mask, but also had working glasses with special lenses. When she was working they'd be down. If not, they'd be up, and sitting on her head they looked like cat ears. So Cat Woman is implied if not actually said.
There were also several story lines running at once. The overall story of Bane and Gotham City, then smaller ones for Bruce, Selina, Commissioner Gordon, Alfred, Blake, and even Foley. It somewhat opened the scope of what was going on to include more than just the caped crusader and his trials. This also helped explain the reason the film is 164 minutes long. There is much to tell. Unfortunately, this may have made it drag a little in places, but not overtly so, so worth it. Lots of figurative 'guns' and 'hints' to keep track of too, if you want to figure somethings out before they're revealed. What may appear as inconsistencies in several places actually aren't, they played the 'red herring' card very well.
At the end, some short cuts were taken with regards to nuclear fallout. But then waves of nuclear radiation would have kind of soured things.
But the three concurrent bits at the end really made things pop, making up for it, and gave great closure to the film. (And no, no extra scenes once the credits roll.)
4) Stunts - Thumbs Up: Very nice work with the physical stunts. There are plenty of them and some involved a ton of people. Plenty of car/motorcycle/airplane chases, explosions, collapsing walls, guns, canons, and hand to hand combat to watch. Nothing matched the awesome precision and caliber of the first scene though. Made most of the rest look pale in comparison.
5) Locations/Cinematography - Total Thumbs Up: The cinematography folks took some great shots which when put together with some of the special effects made for a real treat. The stadium scene and pull back to the full city scene were very well done. It was very eerie seeing those bridges blow.
The angles for the pit worked very well and I loved the city in the background outside it. The fact they threw in bats for two different scenes to act as subtext were nicely done as well.
Conclusion: As long as you forget everything you know from the comics, it's a good third installment in this latest of the DC Batman franchises. Some good Gotham caped crusader fun! (Seeing it in IMAX or XD won't add much to the experience - so if you need to save your pennies, do.)
Rating: 4 out of 5 (Hubby's Rating: Worth Full Price of Admission.)

Virtual Tourist - Secret World and Star Wars The Old Republic 7/15/12
Let's see what hopefully awesome shots my daughter and I came up with this week. :P
Secret World
Star Wars The Old Republic
Republic Side - Belsavis
Funky prison planet. Tropical zone surrounded by ice cliffs.
Giant root bridges. Pretty cool!
Plumed iguana type thing. Love the colors
Part of the prison was built in and over ancient ruins
Those flowers weird or what?
Refugee area due to the prison riots
Weird flying fish tat goes around in circles over this area alone. I know there HAS to be a reason. We haven't figured it out yet.
Big robot we have to fight. We were in the middle of trying to kill it when the servers went down. Afraid to see where we are when we get to go play again. eek!
Empire Side - Alderaan
My companion and our Sith boss of the moment.
Pantere Castle - a close duplicate to the castle on the Republic side.
Way in the back is a holocron.
I was on my own, so took the time to try to figure out how to get to it. And I did! Bwahahahahaha! +3 Wisdom X-2505 Y-429 Z144
Bwaha bwahahahahahaha! (Hey those things are hard to get to sometimes!) Bwahahahahahahahaha!

Movie Review - Ice Age: Continental Drift
Ice Age Continental Drift
Starring: Denis Leary, John Leguizamo, Ray Romano, Keke Palmer, Peter Dinklage, Alan Tudyk, Chris Wedge, Patrick Stewart, Jennifer Lopez, Queen Latifah, Wanda Sykes, and more.
Directed by: Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier Screenplay by: Michael Berg and Jason Fuchs Cinematography by: Renato Falcão Original Music by: John Powell
Premise: After some family strife, Manny, Sid, and Diego find themselves separated from their loved ones and friends as their home splits and drops them with a chuck of ice into the ocean only to be dragged away by the current. As they struggle to survive and find a way back home, Manny's wife Ellie, and his daughter, Peaches, deal with trying to stay alive long enough for them all to come back. (Rated PG)
Review:
1) Voice Acting - Total Thumbs Up: Denis Leary, John Leguizamo, and Ray Romano as Diego, Sid, and Manny are as fun together as in the other "Ice Age" films. Many old favorite characters are back, but there are also a bunch of new voices and characters. My favorite by far had to be Granny, played by Wanda Sykes. Granny was a total hoot! Also totally loved Peter Dinklage as Captain Gut - that was one mean ape.
Lots of unexpected voices doing acting bits like Alan Tudyk, Patrick Stewart and more. A lot of great talent was to be found in this film.
2) Artwork/Animation - Total Thumbs Up: Blue Sky Studios shows the same great work they've shown in previous films. The attention to detail was amazing. I especially enjoyed the scuffed, worn look of the Captain Gut's crew. Really pushed the point of their tough lives out there among the waves.
Between the cinematography and the artists we got some lovely visual sweeps of the ocean, the horizon, and the collapse/separation of continents. The visuals for Scrat dropping to the Earth's core was perfect and dragged an unexpected laugh from me.
3) Plot/Story - Thumbs Up: The beginning was a little slow, but there was a lot of new ground to cover. It's well worth the wait, however. For this story, they have three major plot elements moving at the same time - Scrat's endless quest, Manny and the others dealing with pirates while trying to find a way to get back home, and Peaches as she struggles with growing up and also getting herself and the others out of the way of impending disaster.
There were also a lot of sub themes as well as subtext and inside jokes. Though we're back in the ice age, we still get to have a lot of fun with pirates, submarines, mermaids, and more. Yay!
Conclusion: Fun film which the adults might just enjoy more than the kids!
