Inception

So just saw Inception today starring none other than Leonardo DiCaprio.

Many words could describe this film confusion, excitment, wonder (which sort of corrisponds with confusion but whatever), and most likely wtf?

So the basic story is that science has found a way to go into people's dreams where certain people called extractors can steal information in their mind or train them to stop other extractors from stealing this information whatever it may be. After discovering Leonardo is a fugative (I will spare you the details why), he is hired by a buisness man (played by Ken Watanabe) and is offered a job that can clear Leonardo's name so he can see his children again. The job is to plant an idea into a rival buisness marketer's mind (which is called Inception) though the entire process is entirely difficult. So Leonardo is to compile a team which contains a Forger, which is a person who can impersonate anyone in a dream, an Architect, who designs the entire dream world, and his trusty partner who is another extractor who specializes in Kicks. A Kick is used in the real world that makes the person automatically wake up like falling out of a chair or being dumped into water. So from there they compose a plan and so on and so forth with no important spoilers to be explained.

Honestly this movie isn't big on the action, though in the middle and final scenes some of the action is pretty badass from fist fights in collapsing buildings to a shoot out in a snowy mountain.

Considering all these factors I do believe this movie is a definite theater watch, but it is very story intensive and you must pay attention or you will be lost. So if you want a fun action flick this isn't the right one for you. Enjoy!! And please don't post spoliers since once you know the ending it just ruins it.

Hot Tube Time Machine

So I gotta say I love "The Hangover" and it has to be one of my all time favorite movies. Now to say "Hot Tube Time Machine" is as good as "The Hangover" is an understatement.

As funny as the movie is, the story is obviously a little shallow. The story is just the setting so that the hilariousness (new word?) can continue. The story is three friends (John Cusack, Craig Robinson, and Rob Corddry) go to Kodiak Valley where their teenage years unfolded and made their memorable times. Along for their ride is Cusack's nerdy nephew (Clark Duke), and when they arive the old hotel is run down and a stinker (litteraly). In their old room 420 they jump in a hot tube where Rob Corddry drops his illegal Chernobal energy drink on the hot tube's controls. There they go back to 1986, and they must do everything exactly the same or a Butterfly Effect will happen (which is a great fucking movie according to Rob). So shallow story but hey do you go to McDonalds for the scenery or the the food.

Is it funny? In short yes, but you want an indepth review don't ya? So obviously this movie is built off of being funny, and it doesn't dissapoint. Throughout the movie bombardments of hilariousness fall on you, along with swears and nudity, but hey I don't think any guy (or girl?) is gonna complain. From front to finish there is something to make you laugh from how the bellhop loses his arm and how the time maching repairman thinks Clark Duke is an ugly girl.

I must say I think this movie is worth a buy, but if you still are guessing it truly is worth a rent. However, if you liked "The Hangover", "Hot Tube Time Machine" is going to be right down your alley. Enjoy!! No Wild Sides needed however there is Motley Crue in the movie...

Red Dead Redemption

So Red Dead Redemption has been out for a while, but hey why not give a review. So, in this game you play as John Marstin forced by the U.S. government to catch your old gang members who left you for dead after being shot. As the game opens you march up to the fort one member is in and shot yet again, there you are saved by a southern bell and so begins your journey. The story is a long and enjoyable journey with many twists and turns along the way. Though I let out a faint, "What the hell!", at the end of the game.

If you've played and enjoyed GTA IV you'll be right at home with the gameplay. For the most part the controls are easy to master and understand, but I fell the auto aim was a little over the top but hey thats why theres expert mode. Thats the other thing for the first time Rockstar has put dificulty levels in its game. As for lag I had almost no slow down issues in single player. As for a "game changer" Red Dead brings Dead Eye where you slow down time and pick where you wish to shoot someone. Its quite fun to shoot the hat off a man's head and then the gun out of his hand.

As for graphics they are top notch with little quirks here and there, and thats all I need to say.

Now for multiplayer, thats where my issues stand. Every so often there is lag, but its mostly coming from my horrible internet. However the auto aim is way over the top in most modes unless you go to an expert mode. But learn the best places on a map and the kills will be drowning you in experience points. As for this new thing called Free Roam where you go before a multiplayer match its the single player map, but here you can do challenges and kill everything and anything for XP. This is probably the best part of multiplayer to me as you can create possies and start killing random players for fun.

So heres my rankings:
Story: 10/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Graphics: 10/10
Multiplayer: 9/10
Buy it? Oh hell yes! The only Wild Side you'll be showing is how fun it is to kill Mexicans and Indians.

Wild Side Reviews

Welcome to Wild Side Reviews! Here I will be reviewing Video Games, Movies, and anything else I feel needs a review to make sure that your Wild Side doesn't appear when you buy something horrible.

Bear in mind that I must use my money to buy video games (I will be using GameFly for most so it may be a bit between reviews), movies, and what else so those items that are most in demand will be reviewed first. Also once I get my hands on my friend's video recorder I will start posting video reviews.
