Dropmix game review

Developed with Harmonix, creators of Rock Band and Dance CentralFast-paced music mixing game that lets you create unexpected song mixesKeep the music pumping with 3 ways to play: Freestyle, Clash, and PartyIncludes 60 DropMix cards featuring music from top artists and popular songs

Original MSRP was $100, which was a non-starter for me. They recently dropped the price to $50 and I had a $30 credit on my account. $20 was a great price point to try out Dropmix, which ended up being a great game with some real show stopping problems. For the original $100 they would be outrageous problems, for $20 they’re just minor annoyances.

Some of the annoyances include:

• the mind boggling decision to have a screw on the battery compartment, so when you pull the game out every six months, you’ll need a screwdriver
• requiring four AA batteries with no way to plug the main deck in
• using blue tooth instead of a cable
• only supporting specific versions of android and iOS, out of the four tablets we have in my house, none of them were compatible with the game, so we had to use our phones which do not have great speakers, I’m going to try to plug my phone into a speaker or something the next time I play it.
• No instructions included in the box, you’ll need to watch a video streamed from the Hasbro site, several times in our case.  there’s a giant fold out sheet of paper included in the box with all sorts of cool colors and designs on it which i assumed was going to be the game play instructions, but instead it was instructions on where to download the apps from. Google Play Store and Apple App Store for those of you wondering.
• IRL DLC for $15 a pack for a dozen or so cards.  i think I’ll only be getting those when they eventually get down to $5 a pack.
• This game isn’t going to work in 10 years, so get your playing in now.

All that being said, it’s a fun card game that has music playing in the background.  You don’t even need to hear the music to play the game, it’s all about playing cards with the right bonuses on the screen and knocking your opponent’s cards off the play deck.  I still think it’s a hard sell at $50 and would only suggest buying it if you can get it for around $25.

Fahrenheit 451 review

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden.
Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But then he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television.

When Mildred attempts suicide and Clarisse suddenly disappears, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. He starts hiding books in his home, and when his pilfering is discovered, the fireman has to run for his life.

This latest interpretation of the original novel plays it safe by translating “mindless chatter of television” into “mindless chatter of state mandated social media as delivered by Silicon Valley”. It doesn’t make much sense, only barely holds together, and I still think the original story is much more solid, with it’s society that has a sick fascination with vapid reality television and focuses on how people weren’t going to have freedoms taken away, they would be given up willingly.

I think Michael B Jordan is still looking for a role to really do well in, I’ve yet to see him in a movie that he was able to carry himself. He was good with Sly in Creed, terrible in Fantastic Four (but EVERYONE was terrible in that) and was his character in Black Panther didn’t have to exist at all for the movie to move forward. in Fahrenheit 451 he’s vastly out acted and out performed by the incredibly Michael Shannon, but honestly that guy is a force unto himself, even in his bad roles that guy is just intense like no one else can be.

Jurassic World review

Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) race to restore order at Jurassic World theme park when a ferocious genetically modified dinosaur escapes.

I’m now of the opinion that while Jurassic World is a fun movie, it still doesn’t hold a candle to the original Jurassic Park. Too much CGI and too litte actual story.

The Little Hours review

Italy, 1347: Bored, volatile nuns Alessandra (Alison Brie), Fernanda (Aubrey Plaza), and Ginevra (Kate Micucci) live in a monastery under the watchful eye of Father Tommasso (John C. Reilly). The arrival of a handsome new groundskeeper (Dave Franco) – introduced to the sisters as a deaf mute to discourage temptation – soon leads to a frenzy of hormones, substance abuse, and wicked revelry.

A forgetable but humorous movie with a ton of unexpected nudity in the third act. This movie gets a solid “meh” rating from me.
