Blippy is a website where people obsessively review everything they buy.
Shutter Island
Not at all what the previews make it out to be. Very well done, psychological puzzle of a movie.

You were disappointed some how? I thought the preview and the movie matched up pretty well - I was expecting a creepy, intense movie that dealt with the criminally insane, and that's what I got. Of course there was a twist. I thought it was incredibly well executed and the acting was great.

I thought the previews made it look more like a horror movie, and I was glad when it turned out to be different. I agree, it was well executed and worth a second watch.

I felt like I was walking on the razor's edge of insanity myself.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
This is a fun game, especially for a life long Star Wars fan, but the combat becomes repetitive over time, and the story is forgettable.
MapQuest 4 Mobile App
I've used it once, and for being free, I can't complain too much. It didn't get us to our destination, but that may have partially been from a poor address.
Facebook App
This app is efficient, but isn't without it's flaws. It tends to crash once or twice a week for no apparent reason. It also doesn't seem to sync up with your news feed on the site, such as if you turn off updates from a specific person, you still get them in the app. Overall, it's still the best facebook app for iphone.
Brick
Amazing, film noir style drama. If you like movies like Casablanca, or the Maltese Falcon, this is a great modern day take on that genre.

The story revolves around the character Brendan, played by JGL, investigating the death of his ex-girlfriend. Various noir staples are used throughout such as murder, jealousy, and betrayal.
Audible App
Nicely integrated app that lets you download audiobooks within the app.
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Not having read the book, my only comparison for this movie is other vampire movies. I enjoyed it, even though it seemed over the top, and not scary or even suspenseful.
Year One
I found the humor to be very dry, and mostly uninteresting. I even tried watching it a second time and still had no effect on me. Unfortunate considering the amazing cast.

haha someone literally told me it was the worst movie she had ever seen
Shazam App
It works great with pre-recorded songs, but won't work with TV shows like Glee or American Idol. I have definitely found it useful riding in the car (not driving of course).
Hot Tub Time Machine
If you are into goofy, satirical humor it is a fun ride. Go into it looking to laugh, and you will like it.
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Highly enjoyable classic gameplay. Even if you are new to Zelda, or even video gaming, this is a must play.
brendanwb
Agreed. Shipping discs is way to expensive and they need to look at Netflix and their streaming as a model for them to strive for.

It would be amazing if somehow, maybe in the next hardware generation, they could make that cross-platform. So you buy a copy of, say, Half-Life 3 whenever and if ever it comes out, and you can play it on your PC or log onto your Xbox 720 and continue from your last save game.

I can't believe you can rent GBA games!!!!11! Mind = blown

It would be kind of great if they were to gradually build up a back archive, so you could rent, say, Simon's Quest for the NES or Nght Trap for the Sega CD. If for some reason you needed to.

Personally I think the series never again reached the heights of the two NES games, but yeah. Link to the Past is better than most.
I would like to see more sequels as brave as Adventure of Link -- building on the themes of the original, but from a totally different perspective, with different game design to match. Simon's Quest is a pretty similar situation.

X-Rite EODIS2 Eye-One Display 2
Made a world of difference, and was easy to use.
God of War III
Same great gameplay as the first 2 games, with super high definition graphics. If you were a fan of the first 2, I recommend playing this one too.
Angry Birds App
This game is very addicting. The first week after I bought it I played it every night for at least an hour (unless my wife was playing it instead). It is completely worth the purchase.
