I'm leaving around 6 A.M., and should take us between 8 to 12 hours to drive to South Carolina, we're visiting a small city called the Isle of Palms and it's a really nice place there, I've been to South Carolina a lot it's kind of a thing me and my family do every summer. So I guess I'll see ya guys later, have a good weekend everyone, bye! :)

Movie Recommendation #12.

Alright here's another movie recommendation for ya guys.

Movie: Saving Private Ryan, 1998

Academy Award winning director Steven Spielberg brings the past to life in this breath taking film about the young American soldiers who served in World War II.

After barely surviving D-Day, Captain John H. Miller (Tom Hanks) and his squad are given an order straight from the top of the U.S. Army. Captain John H. Miller's new mission is to rescue a Private James Ryan, who's three other brothers were killed in action, and to avoid a tragedy for the Ryan family it's up to Captain John H. Miller and his squad to venture into Nazi controlled France and save Private Ryan before it's too late.

Saving Private Ryan won 5 Academy Awards including Best Director, (Steven Spielberg) Saving Private Ryan is also ranked #71 on the American Film Institute's 100 Greatest Movies. Filled with great action, friendship and courage, Saving Private Ryan is another great war film to watch again and again.

Saving Private Ryan, 1998

Gun School is over.

Yesterday was the last day at the gun school, one the last day we tried out shotguns. Since I was the oldest in the entire class I got to use a 12 gauge shotgun and it was pretty fun.

In other news it seems Sony will longer produce the 60GB PS3, to tell you the truth I honestly think it was a waste of money anyway, I think it was smart that they stopped making the more expensive PS3.

Other than that not much else has been going on, it's Friday the 13th so watch out for Jason Voorhees. :P

E3 Aftermath, Guns, and YouTube.

Well I guess I didn't miss much with E3, just the release dates for Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy and that was about it really. I was hoping Nintendo would announce some new characters in Brawl like Sonic for instance but it looks like they didn't.

Today at the gun school we tried out some .22 calibur rifles, tomorrow we're going to try out shotguns so that should be interesting.

Last, I've been officially banned from YouTube. 4Kids Entertainment wasn't too happy with my videos and I guess I'm not going to create another account because in one of the letters YouTube sent me said "Legal action will be taken if this occurs again" or something like that, but that's something I would like to avoid.

Learning how to use Guns.

Well today and tomorrow I'm going to a school that will teach me how to use firearms. I don't what's going to happen there, I don't know a lot about the school, but I do that I will be using rifles and even shotguns while I'm there. This should be interesting and fun, I hope they'll teach us how to use handguns, I'll tell what happens after my first day is over.

Movie Recommendation #11.

Here's another movie recommendation for ya guys.

Movie: Reservoir Dogs, 1992

Director Quentin Tarantino takes into the life of crime and betrayel in this action packed cult classic.

A mob boss named Joe Cabot, (Lawrence Tierney) and his son Eddie (Chris Penn) have constructed the perfect crime, to rob a bank that contains priceless gems that worth millions. But Joe and Eddie Cabot can't do it alone, they hire six perfect strangers to pull off the crime. To make sure that one is caught and testifies against one another Joe gives each man a color coded alias. Mr. Brown, (Quentin Tarantino) Mr. White, (Harvey Keitel) Mr. Blonde, (Michael Madsen) Mr. Blue, (Edward Bunker) Mr. Orange, (Tim Roth) and Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) are the given names to the six perfect strangers. When the six finally pull off the hiest, they are immediatly ambushed by the police and the robbers scatter across the city trying to escape the police. Eventually they meet up at an abanded warehouse. Realizing that no one knew about the robbery, the criminals now realize that one of them is an undercover cop, but the question is: who?

Filled with great action, and a suspenseful plot, Reservoir Dogs is an amazing film that shows what happens in the life of a criminal.

New Xbox 360 Warrenty.

Well, for owners of broken Xbox 360s like me there's some good news. Microsoft just announced a brand new warrenty for Xbox 360s that lasts 3 years, giving you more chances to get your Xbox 360 fixed in case it constantly breaks on you. This is good news for me because mines been broken for months now, at first I thought my warrenty was only 90 days, turns out after I called for repairs it turns out my warrenty was actually 1 full year, so I guess I got pissed for nothing. :P For more information, visit the GameSpot news page.

Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day everyone, America is now 231 years old today. It's just going to be simple today for me at my place, we're just going to have a BBQ, some of my Dad's friends might stop by, go watch some fireworks, come back home set some fireworks my Dad bought. That's pretty much what will happen, well I hope everyone out there has a great Independence Day!

Live Free or Die Hard.

Hey guys, I saw the new Die Hard movie a few days ago and holy crap it was the greatest movie I've seen this year! I'm serious, even though Bruce Willis is 52 years old, he's still able to be the tough guy hero John McClane in the Die Hard movies. I highly recommend this movie for everyone, it has great action, humor, and it's probably the best Die Hard movie since the first one was released. So go see it now, you'll love it.

I also got some new reviews up, so check those out if you want to.

One Year Anniversary.

Well, it's been exactly one year since I joined this site, and over this past year I've met some very interesting and great new people. I'm still going to be here guys, so have a great weekend everyone!
