Each week I take 5 news items from the current week from the entertainment industry, list them out here and then give my take on them. This is Take 5.
1. Resident Evil 6 Announced – I’ve played every Resident Evil Game up to this point, so why stop now? Actually I’m a little disappointed with the direction the last game took. But this series has turned into something where I am more interested in the story than the actual gameplay. But, if reports come out that the game is solid I will definitely give it a play through.
2. SOPA and PIPA Slowed – With the internet stepping up and taking a political stance it was no surprise that these two acts would be stalled. Both of these acts could create a bad situation and lock up the internet so that it would resemble the Chinese internet. Over there you can’t even look up stuff about “Back to the Future.” Would you want to live in a country where you can’t look up the name of Marty McFly’s Band? (The Pinheads.)
3. Benedict Cumberbatch cast in Star Trek 2 – Many people may not know him, he plays Sherlock in the BBC series “Sherlock”, but this is very exciting. The guy has clearly demonstrated he can act and being cast as a villain could make for a brilliant movie. It’s been a long time since the first movie so the excitement for this one has been building. Good to see it is finally on track.
4. Work It Cancelled – Yeah, this show was bad, and it was cancelled after 2 episodes. 2 episodes that probably never should have aired.
5. Apple Announces Textbook Plan – Boy I wish this was available when I was in college. I’m sure I have back problems due to lugging around 100lb of text books all across the campus at Wayne State. It’s cool that Apple is taking a lead in education. They’ve revolutionized cell phones and music, let’s give them education and see what they can do with that.
