The Expendables is a movie directed Sylvester Stallone and starring Sylvester Stallone. Obviously this movie is all about killing, explosions, and Sylvester Stallone.
To start off there is a story, but it is well weak to say the least. Basicly the group of killers are mercinaries, and they are offered a job. They are supposed to kill the leader of some small island, and it all goes wrong. Blah Blah Blah...
Anywho its all about the action here, plain and simple. Though the explosions become somewhat corny its good fun action. All there is to it is action, so if you want a story this movie is a no go. However, you want a fun flick with guts and bullets flying then have at it.
This movie is all about the action don't go for a good developed plot, just go for explosions, guns, and Sylvester Stallone.

The Other Guys
So I'm going to say this review might be a little more biased then others because I enjoy Will Ferrell's movies (except Taladega Knights). Anyways, this movie is an action-comedy hybrid and luckly Mark Wahlberg is there to be kick ass and Will Ferrell to be well... Will Ferrell.
So the story is two super cops (The Rock and Sameul L. Jackson) end up dead, and someone needs to fill there shoes. Will Ferrell being someone who barley has the requierements to be a cop (he audited his parents at 11) doesnt want to take that step. However, Mark Wahlberg willing to make his comeback from his run in with Derek Jeter decides to take a big case and become the hero cops. Unfortunetly, two other cops want to take the same step and with Will Ferrell as a partner Mark has his work cut out. Thus, the story continues with gun-fire, comedy, and explosions through out.
Though the comedy is good, I really enjoyed the action sequences as they looked like the old 80s and 90s cop movies that are badass. Throught out the movie punch lines are thrown out giving a good laugh (until a baby in the movie theater starts to cry).
This movie is a good comedy and action film, and if you're looking for a good time this is the movie to see.

Dinner for Schmucks
If your on the teeter wondering if you should see "Dinner for Schmucks" then just go. If you say you don't like Steve Carell then you hate yourself and you hate comedy. Also the movie has Zach Galifia... from "The Hangover" so you know its going to be good.
So the story is that Tim (Paul Rudd) is about to get a promotion, but first he has to bring an idiot to a dinner so that the CEOs of the company can make fun of them. If he brings the best "schmuck" then he will get the promotion. So on his way to work while texting on one phone and talking on another he hits Barry (Steve Carell). Finding out Barry is a taxidermist (he makes creepyly awsome creations of life with dead mice) Tim tells him about the dinner (leaving out the part of Barry getting to be the joke of the party). So throught the two days before the party Barry ends up ruining Tim's life and sets out on how to make it right.
The movie starts slow throwing in punch lines here and there, but once the middle part of the movie rolls around it gets more uproarious, if you will. Regardless there is so many lines that are great quotes, but they unfortunetly only make sense to others if they have seen the movie too.
Anywho this movie is a comedy that is a definite see in theaters, and an eager wait to buy.

Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty
So how long has it been 10 years?? THANK GOD ITS HERE!!!
First, the single player is well quite amazing. The story, as expected from Blizzard, is top notch. You follow a man leading a revolution when the Zerg start to remerge and someone close to his heart is leading the attack. So a basic story, but the cutscenes are told like a corny badass action movie (Yes this is a good thing). So when not doing a mission you are in a ship buying upgrades for units, spending research points, and buying mercinaries. Then when you start to fight, you are given entertaining challenges to complete that keep combat fresh (for the most part). Regardless if you just want this for single player I would say its worth it expecailly since you can fight computers or do co-op fights with your friends.
However multiplayer is obviously chalk full of super destroyer Korean awsome players. But, there is an unranked practice area where new players can battle it out. Though I don't really like multiplayer strategy games that require base building (I somewhat suck at building things fast). Anywho I didn't mind this game (though I got completely destroyed the one time I played :D) playing online.
Story: 9/10
Gameplay: 9/10 (If you know what you're doing)
Graphics: 8/10
Multiplayer: 9/10
Overall: 9/10

Black Sheep
I have no idea when this movie came out, but i feel that it warrants a review. Ok so first off watch this movie only if it is free, because well its horrible and sadly funny.
Basically this story attempts to have twists that just "ruin" (I use this term lightly) everything, also I had trouble deciding what the heck was going on. Ok so the story is some genetically mutated material or something (wasn't paying to close attention)gets released into New Zealand's sheep population. So the sheep become bitting, snarling, man eating sheep, and sadly (I guess) none of them are black. So the scientists that created this genetic material refuse to help a group of "survivors" and want the sheep to roam free as a type of super soldier thing... As my favorite quote suggests the sheep have had enough of people and, "The sheep are revolting!" And in the chaos the leader of the scientists becomes infected and turns into a... well like a "Weresheep". Oh and a guy has sex with one of the sheep, so ya...
So what comes with a horrible story? Horrible actors! Though I will admit how they kept a straight face through the entire movie is beyond me. I think the worst part of acting came from their accents, I've never met someone from New Zealand but I assume they don't have distinct American accents.
Honestly if you have Cinemax just watch it. Invite a few friends over, and have a few laughs.
