This is the trailer for the new expansion for EVE. It doesn't show anything new to the game but is still worth watching.

The Pillars of the Earth is easily the best show of the year. Based on the novel of the same name, this series very accurately adapts it to television.

The story is a fictional adaption of "The Anarchy," the period in which England was plunged into civil war from 1135-1154. This forms the background of the story but what truly makes the series is the characters and the minor conflicts throughout.

I can't find a single flaw with this series. The acting is near perfect. The story is great. The characters are believable and realistic. The cinematography and music perfectly contribute to the atmosphere of the series as well.

I suggest anyone interested in movies or literature about the middle-ages watch this show. It has only eight, 55 minute episodes, so it isn't very long. I rate the series 9.5 out of 10.

It is noteworthy however, that Eddie Redmayne, who I said was a bad actor in my review of Black Death, though not by name, proved me wrong in this series. He may not have been good in Black Death, but he did a great job in this series.

Today, the trailer for the new alien/horror movie, Monsters, was released.

This is a new documentary coming out that seems to be following in the footsteps of Capitalism: A Love Story. It looks interesting.

Yesterday, the first trailer for Darren Aronofsky's new psychological thriller was released.

After watching this trailer, I don't know what to think about the movie. I can hardly wait for this movie to come out though. I've always been a fan of Aronofsky.

Centurion was very entertaining, though in many ways, an average film.

The biggest issue with this movie was that is was too predictable. When watching it, I'd of sworn, I'd seen it before.

The story wasn't anything that hadn't been done a hundred times before. This is why it seemed so predictable. The best part about this movie, I think was the humor, though this was small as the movie wasn't a comedy.

The acting wasn't particularly good or bad.

Overall, I found the movie quite entertaining, even if predictable. I give it a 7 out of 10.

Black Death could have been so much more than it was.

The story is great, however it is bogged down by sub-par acting, and a truly bad director (Christopher Smith).

The biggest mistake made by Smith is that he thinks the movie is more dramatic then it is. Early on, the protagonist has some misfortune and you're expected to care, even though you've never seen this character before and he's only been in the movie a couple minutes. It seems to me that if you want a viewer to care about a character, you need to build him/her up first, otherwise you're making the assumption that your viewer is overly compassionate.

The acting was just bad. The only person in the movie who seemed believable in their role was Carice van Houten, who very successfully delivered all of her lines.

Had this movie had a better director and cast, it could have been much better. Still though, I was thoroughly entertained for two hours. I give this movie a 7 out of 10.

A couple days ago a trailer for Skyline was publicly released.

It is worth noting that everything said about Stephen Hawking in this trailer is accurate. He did strongly suggest that humanity not seek alien life.

Many people have been confused by the ending of this movie. This is my theory. Obviously this contains heavy spoilers and should only be read if you've seen the movie.

Today Ace Combat Assault Horizon was announced. I have to say, it looks pretty cool to me, though I've been a fan of Ace Combat since its beginning, so I may be a little bias.

I do want to call attention to one, what I consider to be, mistake in the game that I observed in the trailer. The bulk of the plains seen in the trailer are F-22s. The only country in the world with F-22s is America, however due to their high cost and upkeep, they have been discontinued and replaced by F-35s. There is currently no plan to ever recommission them. Ace Combat 5 and 6 both featured the F-22s but that was before the discontinuing of them so I'll give these games a free pass for this. I know this seems like a stupid thing to complain about, but I just find it irritating. The game still looks pretty cool though and I can't wait for it to come out. I only wish they kept to story arc from Ace Combat 5 going.
