Week 14 - Extraction Underway

Welcome back everyone! Hope everyone had a good week! I know I did. I finally sat down for a good 6 hours to finish my impossible run through Dead Space: Extraction! At first it was difficult to sustain all the torture that it puts me through when I play that game, but after the first couple levels I was in a grove and didn't want to slow down. This week I don't have much to talk about, I haven't got my platinum trophy for Extraction yet, but I'm real close. I will be talking a little about extraction. Also Lately I've been feeling a little cloudy on what I plan on doing in the next coming weeks after I beat Extraction, so I plan to talk a little about that as well. Last thing i want to talk about is a movie I recently saw and want to give small review on, and that movie is Sucker Punch.

After hours of collecting weapon upgrades, logs, weapons, and so forth. getting 5 stars on each mission and beating it twice. I am finally at the end of the tunnel. I have 10 trophies left each trophy is for each of the 10 challenges that need to be completed. At first people said they were difficult to complete, and then people have been finding easy way to beat the high score (completing the trophies for each challenge). Now I'm thinking there is no way that I won't have the platinum trophy for this by the end of the week especially with 4 days off!

I've been all over the place these past few weeks. Trying to platinum one game and get side tracked to playing another and needing to platinum that one to at least make my 1 per month quota. Last month I almost failed at this due to not sticking to 2 games. One week I was busting my ass in Mass Effect 2, and then the other weeks I was trying to get through Extraction and Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Luckily the last week I was a few trophies away from the MvC3 platinum trophy, so I clutched it out on the second to last day of the month. This month I need to be more organized, and I'm taking that step by finally removing extraction off my platinum list giving me an early lead in the month allowing me more time for the long ME2 platinum. I'm hoping ME2 platinum will be over a lot faster than I'm anticipating, but I'm giving it 6 weeks to finish the last half and the hardest difficulty playthrough (which will not be 100%). Due to this whole mish mash of scheduling I have yet to pick up KZ3 or Bulletstorm, which makes me sad since I'm picked them up on release date. I'm thinking of throwing in some extra trophy hunting of KZ3 on my off days that I need a break from ME2, but I'm afraid the same thing will happen as it did last month. As it stands though my topt 5 priority game list is Extraction > Mass Effect 2 > Killzone 3 > Bulletstorm > Batman: Arkham Asylum This is the order I plan to receive my trophies in.

On to my movie review... I've been reading some reviews before I went and saw this, because I was pretty excited about this movie. The reviews didn't seem to positive, but it wasn't going to let it get me down. A lot of critics were saying the movie had no plot, at the beginning it seemed to have a plot and then just disappeared half way through the movie. That really stuck out to me when I read that 50% of the critics were saying this. Especially as when you watch the trailer you weren't sure of the plot either it was just women in skimpy schoolgirl outfits jumping around slicing and shooting things... And after seeing this movie it struck me that these critics must of watched the minute trailer and reviewed the movie off of that because there was a plot, and it was easy to follow this said plot.

I'll give you a break down of the movie and the plot without giving to many spoilers... but just for safety sakes *SPOILER ALERT*...

The story starts off with the mother of Baby Girl (main character) dying. Baby Girl has a sister and they inherit all of their moms possessions. I'm assuming her step dad (could be real dad) is displeased with that, so he tries to kill his daughters (i guess to retain the belongings). He comes after his children, and baby girl accidentally shoots and kills her little sister when trying to shoot him. Her father then takes her to a psyche ward to have her lobotomized, and Baby Doll has a week to escape. this is when the main story starts.

It takes place in this psyche ward that is ran by this guy that trains the girls to seduce men, kind of like a strip club but not. The acts are all tasteful, but seducing. The first couple of days Baby Doll is being acquainted with all the other girls (Blondie, Sweet Pea, Rocket and Amber), and after a few days she gains the trust of the youngest one (Rocket) by saving her life. Now after getting comfortable in the ward the dance instructor (Dr. Gorski) has Baby Doll have a try at dancing, but she is so much different then the other girls when she does it it's just so captivating that it puts her and others around her in this dream state (like day dreaming). In her first dance she meets this old guy (which would have been played great by David Carradine) and his name was Wise Man in the movie. Wise Man gives her a sword and a gun, and tells her, "to escape this place she must find 5 things!" These five things were a Map, Knife, Fire, and a Key (yes I know I said 5, but you don't find out what the 5th things is until the end of the movie :P).

Baby Doll then makes a plan on getting those four items, and by doing that she will distract the guards, the owner, and the customers with her enticing dance. Meanwhile her friends will receive the items during the show. Each item is thought out and a plan is processed all before the dance routine.

And that is the plot of the story, how you miss that I don't know. Girl goes to psyche ward, finds out she needs 5 things to escape, and then makes plans to get those items to escape...

In my opinion the movie wasn't all that great... The acting was decent, the visuals were decent, the story was above decent, and most of the choreography was superb and some parts not so much. I wouldn't say skip out on this movie, but it's definitely a better movie on a big screen then it is in a home entertainment system. The movie did keep my interested throughout the whole thing.
