Dead Rising (2006)
Not a bad game
Overall this game was rather fun and had a lot of great and memorable moments. Each time you play through it you are very likely to come across a cut scene or new character you haven't seen before. The graphics, music, and voice acting were all top notch and added to the feeling of actually being in a real living environment with real characters, rather than just a couple of areas and people thrown together. Killing the same zombies over and over again, however, does tend to get alittle old after a few times, which leads to the one main gripe of this game...the game saving. Saving can only be done in certain specific areas of the mall with only one slot for saving, which guarantees you will have to start from the beginning at least a few times. On the plus side, you are able to keep the skills and experience you accumulated during the way making it that much easier the next time around. Definitely worth the money.
Fort Apache the Bronx (1981)
Outstanding
I have just recently seen this movie and must say that it is truly a hidden gem. Fairly popular when it was released, it has been mostly forgotten by most. This movie does a very good job of catching and recreating the general sense of decay and viciousness of the Bronx back in the day. What really sets this movie apart is its attention to detail. This is, in fact, one of the most realistic movies about the NYPD of that era in the sense of how cops carried themselves and the little details, sayings, and mannerisms that went into policing. It goes into a level of detail that isn't that common in today's movies, and spends as much time developing the main characters as it does focusing on action. This is one of Paul Newmans' and Danny Aiello's better movies.
