Firefox 9, Mac OS X Lion and Apple Trailers page

December 27, 2011December 27, 2011ambs2 Comments on Firefox 9, Mac OS X Lion and Apple Trailers page

I am having some trouble with Firefox 9 (well, I had it already with Firefox 8, and after the update the behavior continues) and Mac OS X Lion, when trying to download a trailer from Apple trailers page. I have no clue about what is going on, so if you have any idea that can […]

GTAiv: Lost and Damned – first impressions

December 26, 2011December 26, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on GTAiv: Lost and Damned – first impressions

I just started to play Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City. It took me some time to get back to GTA controls after some Red Dead Redemption. My first impressions start with the knowledge that there are two episodes. I did not know they were two. Thought it would be just one new story. […]

The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

First, yeah, it is a good choice to see The Exorcism of Emily Rose in Christmas Day. Much better than watching it on Halloween or something. I was expecting something more from the movie. It doesn’t have that big special effects I was expecting (but that’s probably good, as Jennifer Carpenter as a great performing), […]

Tamara Drewe (2010)

December 23, 2011December 23, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on Tamara Drewe (2010)

Tamara Drewe (2010) is a story about love and betrayal, sex and teenager rubbish. I will not describe the plot here as you can read a minimal description on IMDB, and giving more information than that would have too many spoilers. In any case, the movie is somewhere in between romance and comedy, although it […]

Red Dead Redemption

I’ve been playing Red Dead Redemption for some time. Well, in fact, I do not play it for a while, but it is the latest game I played on my XBox (that I am not using that much, I must confess). I am a fan of Grand Theft Auto and therefore I needed to test […]

Artificial Intelligence for Games errata

December 21, 2011December 21, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on Artificial Intelligence for Games errata

This year I am teaching Artificial Intelligence for Games. I grabbed some book PDFs from the Internet (yes, sorry, it would be impossible to buy all the books to choose one, and libraries around doesn’t have books in this thematic) and I chose a pair of books to buy. One of them is this Artificial […]

The Last Airbender (2010)

The idea is great, and I wonder why there isn’t a great game with this idea already available. Of course Diablo has some similarities, but the idea of the four main elements is not there. But then, the movie could be much better with the same story behind. There are lots of slow (or even, […]

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

  Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Crazy movie. One thing for sure, it is original (for what I’ve seen). Nice graphics/special effects. A different way of recording, with scenes merged in interesting ways. Great to see the Batman-like sounds written all around. Cool jokes. Fun to watch. Oh, and I do that same thing with […]

Fast Five (2011)

I am a fan of these movies. Fast Five is just great again. You can claim that the things they do with the cars are not possible (yeah, I think some of them are not that easy, like pushing a safe around) but you get a good time watching it. Then, there are some great […]

The Expendables (2010)

October 30, 2011October 30, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on The Expendables (2010)

I confess that I was expected a little more. Easy story, action, blood, explosions, girl in danger, more blood and explosions, more action, bullets, betrayal, blood, action, blood, forgiveness, more blood and action, and a little of humor. In the beginning there were some cool jokes, but during the movie they became more rare. So, […]
