<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>No question vast and ambiguous forces conspire against me today.  Not only have the unrepentant thieves at another "blog" stolen my project and format, but ipod #5 is giving me that mocking "you're fucked" sad face when i try to start it. Bullets are flying but I am not going down. I'm like the invincible malcontent Clive Owen in "Shoot'Em Up".  They're coming at me from left and the right, from up and down, and I'm taking them out with a sneer and carrots. But unlike "Shoot'Em Up", I am not terrible. So with my cold burnt coffee, music coming from the dinky 12-year old computers speakers (now the only way to access my vast and impressively organized library...my cutting-edge soundsystem now so much a useless objet d'art in the wake of ipod #5 demise), I trudge on bravely. For from those dinky speakers, I hear...</em></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Earlimart - <em>Hymn and Her</em> </strong>I just got this on the morning of this awful Sunday, but it just may redeem it. Haven't even listened to it thought it completely. I'm on "Before It Gets Better" and I think I've found July 13th's soundtrack. Poppy, but soft with a melancholy touch. But it might be forgettable. Still, canon-bound.</li>
<li><strong>Lou Reed - <em>Transformer</em> </strong>Lou is one of the few gaps in my collection I'm endeavoring to fill. And I think I did pretty well by starting here. Not all the tunes have aged. "New York Telephone Conversation" is like some kind of joke that may have been kind of funny 30 years ago. I don't recall Lou being know for his wit, anyways. Nonetheless, "Vicious" and "Perfect Day" are awesome. And they all hang together nicely.  Who knew? The MST3K spaceship is named after track #7. Very near canonical.</li>
<li><strong>Au - <em>Verbs</em></strong> Weird. Chanting, unexpected changes. Fractured song structures, if there are any. Nice choice for your neighborhood opium den.</li>
<li><strong>Boris - <em>Smile</em></strong> There's a time and a place for progressive Japanese metal. Unfortunately, they are not now and here. However, I do recall being at work at 8:15am and having "KA RE HA TE TA SA KI-No One Grieve" move me to pump my fist with gritted teeth.</li>
<li><strong>Santogold - <em>Santogold</em></strong> I'm not too well plugged into the popular music scene, but I think she's becoming pretty mainstream. Believe it or not highschool friends, I can enjoy mainstream things. (<em>Dreamgirls</em> is my favorite movie...U2 and Coldplay are pretty awesome...and can't get enough of "Friends"...Oh, sorry. I'm lying.) I also hear a lot of MIA references. I hear MIA, but more I hear Cyndi Lauper. But a lot cooler. "Lights Out" is a summer fav.</li>
<li><strong>My Morning Jacket - <em>Evil Urges</em></strong> Everybody needs to calm down. I refuse to ride the bus that has thrown MMJ under it. I may be the only unfilthy not-high person who actually likes "Highly Suspicious". It's not that bad. Admittedly some misfires. Not too sure I'm ready to revisit UB40 and the Fine Young Cannibals. But like Rilo Kiley's equally disparaged <em>Under the Black Light</em>, there are some standouts. Try denying "I'm amazed". This is a great band trying something different.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><em>Ack. Now my laptop is crapping out and I have 47 albums to go. Great. Another crappy chapter in this crappy day has begun. Screw it. I'm going for a run. And I will get hit by a bus. Probably the same one filled with all the MMJ haters distracted by making fun of "Librarian" (which is pretty ridiculous, but an easy target). C'mon haters, watch where you're going.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Spente le trenta candeline, il videogioco, creato dalla Taito Corporation e lanciato il 16 giugno 1978<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-246" style="float:right;" src="http://mononeuronico.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/space_invaders.jpg" alt="La celebre schermata del gioco più famoso degli anni '80" width="259" height="225" /> rappresenta ancora oggi un mito per gli appassionati. A giudizio di molti esperti <strong>è uno dei padri dei videogiochi attuali</strong>. Space Invaders, sviluppato da Toshihiro Nishikado per la Taito Corporation, ha generato in pochi anni un fatturato di 500 milioni di dollari. Tra il 1979 e il 1980 è stato commercializzato in Italia dalla Sidam con il nome di "Invasion" e negli Usa, distribuito dalla Atari e dalla Nintendo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>A decretare il successo di Space Invaders</strong>, non appena immesso sul mercato, <strong>è stata la possibilità, per i giocatori, di inserire tre lettere nella lista degli high-score</strong>. sfidando gli altri utenti e ricevendo pubblica gloria dalla propria abilità, grazie alla schermata della classifica generale. Creato con la consulenza di un gruppo di psicologi giapponesi, il gioco riprendeva un classico della fantascienza (la lotta contro gli alieni invasori), inserito in un contesto grafico e narrativo che oggi appare estremamente naif: nessuno sfondo, nessuna arma extra.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Space Invaders ha aperto ufficialmente l'età dell'oro dei videogames</strong> e - seppur per poco tempo - di quel periodo è stato il protagonista assoluto. E a Invaders si deve anche la nascita del genere "Shoot'em up", quello in cui il giocatore ha a disposizione un'arma da fuoco con cui eliminare i nemici, guadagnando punti.</p>

<p>Recentemente a Famitsu anunciou um novo shoot'em up que será lançado para o Wii, provavelmente em setembro. O nome dele é Daiseioh, e está sendo desenvolvido pela Star Fish. O banner vocês podem ver a seguir, seguido pelas primeiras imagens:</p>
<p><img src="http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk151/blogjogos/daiseioh/body.jpg" alt="" width="332" height="376" /></p>

<p>O jogo possui gráficos em 2D e contará a história do macaco-rei, semelhante a Shin Chuka Taisen, também para Wii, o remake do clássico que ficou conhecido por aqui como Cloud Master. Agora, resta esperarmos para ter mais detalhes da jogabilidade ou vídeos.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="color:#808080;"><em>por Maxi</em></span></p>
<p>Eis que estamos perto de ver o mais novo lançamento do Dreamcast, que não recebe um título novo desde o início do ano passado.</p>
<p>Trata-se de Dux, um shoot'em up (sim, outro) feito pelo mesmo criador de Last Hope, que segundo recentes posts no fórum do <a href="http://www.shmups.com">shmups.com</a>, está ouvindo outras pessoas e vai tentar corrigir todos os problemas presentes no outro título.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Este é fortemente baseado em R-Type, porém usando da mesma técnica de sprites usada em seu trabalho anterior, aquele pseudo 3D. Por enquanto o jogo parece bastante promissor, a jogabilidade lembra muito a do clássico shooter que serviu de inspiração e o visual é bem bonito e diferente, como vocês podem ver nos seguintes vídeos:</p>
<p>Segunda fase em versão alpha (novo):</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/pZ83EYTbnpQ'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/pZ83EYTbnpQ&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Ou baixe o vídeo em melhor qualidade <strong><a href="http://www.hucast.net/download/dux_stage2_alpha.avi">aqui</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Primeira fase em versão beta:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/RFRkMtFNf1Y'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/RFRkMtFNf1Y&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Ou baixe o vídeo em melhor qualidade <strong><a href="http://www.hucast.net/download/dux_stage1_teaser.avi">aqui</a></strong>.</p>
<p>O site oficial do jogo, que é o <a href="http://www.hucast.net">www.hucast.net</a> está realizando as pré-vendas dele, e para os compradores antecipados vai ter um brinde, um pôster que vai vir junto do jogo, que será vendido por 20 euros e está marcado para sair neste mês de julho.</p>

<description><![CDATA[
Steam, la plate-forme de distribution numérique de Valve, est un véritable pousse-à-la-dépense,]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://ombreduz.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/everyday-shooter.jpg" alt="Everyday Shooter" width="450" height="210" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://www.steampowered.com/" target="_blank">Steam</a>, la plate-forme de distribution numérique de Valve, est un véritable pousse-à-la-dépense, surtout depuis qu'elle est régulièrement approvisionnée en jeux indépendants aussi excitants que leur coût est modique. Alors que vient de sortir <a href="http://www.redlynxtrials.com/index.jsp" target="_blank"><em>Redlynx Trials 2 Second Edition</em></a>, un jeu de moto trial qui s'annonce sous de bons augures, et après les circuits musicaux d'<em><a href="http://ombreduz.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/game-other-highway-star/">Audiosurf</a></em>, léger retour en arrière avec le test d'<a href="http://www.everydayshooter.com/" target="_blank"><em>Everyday Shooter</em></a>, une petite prod biclassée shoot'em up abstrait addictif et chouette album d'indie rock.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mais qu'est-ce qu'il raconte ce putain de blogger ? Procédons par étape. Développé par Jonathan Mak sous la bannière <a href="http://www.queasygames.com/" target="_blank">Queasy Games</a> et pensé comme un disque, <em>Everyday Shooter</em> ne vous permettra pas de vous faire cuire un œuf sur votre carte graphique. Épurée, colorée et surtout lisible, la réalisation du soft n'en est du coup pas moins adaptée à l'action : aux commandes d'un petit carré, le joueur doit résister à des vagues de formes belliqueuses, le tout sur un écran fixe et au moyen d'un canon multidirectionnel. Jusque là, rien de nouveau, le genre ne manquant en outre pas de représentants de qualité. La subtilité réside dans la façon d'engranger des points, nécessaires pour acheter diverses options (indispensables vies supplémentaires, habillages différents...) et pour bomber le torse. En effet, ceux-ci ne s'obtiennent pas en dézinguant la flotte ennemi, mais en la pulvérisant par l'entremise de réactions en chaîne, chaque piste ayant son propre système à analyser dans l'espoir de s'en tirer : un maillage de cellules dont il faut cibler le centre névralgique, un ennemi spécifique à propulser contre ses acolytes, une sorte de robot qui déclenche l'explosion de ses semblables...</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Éliminés par ce biais, les opposants sèment des carrés blancs à récolter avant qu'ils ne s'évaporent. Pas de bol, ces saloperies le font plutôt rapidement et le "<em>vaisseau</em>" que l'on pilote est d'une lenteur assez perturbante, même si le fait de cesser le feu lui permet de mettre les gaz. Ce n'est d'ailleurs pas là la (la la la, France 98 represent) seule faille d'<em>Everyday Shooter</em>, celui-ci pêchant aussi par sa durée de vie limitée (huit tableaux), heureusement un peu compensée par son potentiel de rejouabilité et sa difficulté. Plus embêtante est sa maniabilité. Avec quatre touches du clavier pour contrôler le déplacement et quatre autres pour la trajectoire des tirs, les handicapés psychomoteurs en seront quittes pour se reporter sur un produit plus accessible. Un jeu console ? Argument irrecevable, <em>Everyday Shooter</em> étant paru à l'origine sur le PlayStation Network de la Playstation 3. Au pire, il est toujours possible de se munir d'un pad, mais cela ne changera pas un problème fondamental : la limitation à huit directions, qui impose des placements biscornus pour échapper très nombreux machins qui en veulent à votre...euh... à vos côtés.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mais bon, toutes ces bricoles et l'absence de ladder et d'achievements mieux intégrés à Steam (<a href="http://ombreduz.wordpress.com/2008/01/30/liberating-publishers-and-developers-to-concentrate-on-the-game-instead-of-plumbing/">Steamworks</a> à la rescousse ?) ne doivent pas refroidir les curieux, surtout s'ils sont mélomanes, car le jeu est ainsi doté d'une bande-son à se rouler par terre en imitant le cri d'un hérisson en pleine nuit de noces. Entièrement interprétée à la guitare, elle se compose de riffs bruts comme d'arpèges zen et, luxe suprême, réagit (un peu) à l'action, les bruitages étant eux-mêmes produits par l'instrument et au rythme des affrontements, qui retombe régulièrement le temps de relaxantes accalmies. Conclusion en deux briques : originalité. Rareté ? Qualité. Indispensable à toute bonne ludothèque ? Pas loin mais presque.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.pspsps.tv/CallofDuty.jpg" alt="" width="426" height="124" /></p>
<p>Por fin Activision ha desvelado que el nuevo Call of Duty 5 contará con un escenario bélico nuevo. Además, han confirmado la fecha de salida en otoño de este año y que tendrá versiones para PC, PS3, 360 y DS, las plataformas utilizadas para el anterior juego, y tambíen para Wii y PS2.</p>
<p>Esta gran franquicia de shooters ambientados en la guerra, que ronda ya su quinta versión, ha sido una de las más exitosas en la next gen gracias COD4, que ha vendido 7 milliones de copias. El CEO de la compañía, Mike Griffith, ha confirmado que han preferido seguir por esta senda de nuevos lugares de guerra y así recrear aportar ciertas novedades a la franquicia, que por fin parece distanciarse de los más que manidos escenarios de la II Guerra Mundial.</p>
<p>Un dato curioso, es que la nueva película de James Bond The Quantum of Solace contará conel motor del juego para ciertos momentos. Además, tanto la película como el juego saldrán en la misma estación. Así pues, por ahora solo queda que se confirme una fecha exacta y también el papel que jugará Infinite Ward, encargada del anterior juego.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bueno, si anoche adelantaba que el juego no tendría demo, hoy os dejo este video en el que Epic nos pone los dientes bien largos. Según el video, Gametrailers publicará en exclusiva el próximo 9 de mayo un video del gameplay del juego. Éste es el video en cuestión.</p>
<p><span style="display:block;width:425px;margin:0 auto;"> [vodpod id=ExternalVideo.516219&#38;w=425&#38;h=350&#38;fv=]</span></p>
<p>Poco se puede ver en él: sólo aparece el logotipo del juego, la fecha para el gameplay y lo adornan con el sonido de una motosierra de fondo. Esto de hacer teaser para adelantar otros videos está, por lo que parece, de moda, ya que Resistance 2 ha hecho lo mismo.</p>

<p>Una pena. Hoy han hecho público que Gears of War 2 no contará con una demo previa a su salida al mercado, en noviembre. Sin embargo, aunque no creo que consuele del todo a los que esperaban la demo, se publicará un cómic basado en el mundo del juego. La encargada es la prestigiosa DC comics, que también se encarga del cómic hace poco anunciado de otro videojuego: Prototype.</p>
<p>De todos modos, seguro que los chicos de Epic están preparando un shooter que seguramente logre el título de mejor juego en su categoría para este año, aunque aún queda por ver de qué será capaz Resistance 2. Una cosa es segura: no defraudará a casi ninguno, aunque solo sea por ver a un Locust partido por la mitad por un escopetazo o una cara rajada por una motosierra xD</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="vertical-align:middle;margin:5px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5b/Twenty_one_poster.jpg/200px-Twenty_one_poster.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="280" /></p>
<p>E' con piacere che scrivo la recensione di <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478087/" target="_blank">21</a>, uno dei film che più mi aveva incuriosito dalla visione del trailer. Diretto da Robert Luketic e interpretato fra gli altri da Kevin Spacey e un ingrassato Lawrence Fishburne, la pellicola racconta la storia (vera) di un gruppo di studenti del MIT (il valhalla degli studenti di informatica :roll: ) che escogitano un sistema per contare le carte al tavolo di black jack e truffare i casinò di Las Vegas. <!--more-->Protagonista della vicenda il timido e squattrinato Ben Campbell, genio matematico alle prese con l'accesso ad una borsa di studio per Harvard, gli amici sfigati del campus, gli approcci disastrosi alla ragazza più carina della facoltà. Il film prende a piene mani (soprattutto all'inizio) dal repertorio del genere (<em>L'attimo fuggente</em>, <em>Will Hunting</em> per citarne qualcuno, ma anche la commedia adolescenziale americana) e stenta a mio parere a prendere quota. L'attore scelto come protagonista (Jim Sturgess, già visto in <em>Across the Universe</em>) mi ha ricordato per certi sguardi un impacciatissimo Peter Parker alias Tobey Maguire mentre la controparte femminile (una troppo <em>femme fatale</em> Kate Bosworth) non può certo avvicinarsi come avvenenza a Kirsten Dunst :) .</p>
<p>A dare spessore al film ovviamente c'è la presenza nel cast di Kevin Spacey, nel ruolo dell'enigmatico e pericoloso professor Mickey Rosa, che addestra e forma la "squadra" che gioca ai tavoli. E' lui, con la sua facciata da professore normale che nasconde un individuo senza scrupoli, a dare brio e vitalità al film. Sono sue le scene migliori, le battute più efficaci e quando non c'è si sente una vera e propria mancanza. A volte non sembra solo un professore in gita con i suoi studenti, ma una babysitter alle prese con un gruppo di giovani attori di belle speranze.</p>
<p>Come ho detto il film stenta a decollare e, a mio parere le due ore di durata, sono del tutto ingiustificate. Avrei preferito qualche scena d'azione in più e qualche banalità in meno (la storia è sempre la stessa: via breve ma pericolosa o via lunga e onesta?), ma si salva abbastanza con il finale. Un bel film, ma conoscendo la cura con la quale Spacey sceglie i suoi lavori, mi sarei aspettato qualcosa di più. Un probabile dvd a prezzo economico.</p>
<p>Voto: 7</p>
<p>Note a margine:</p>

<p>Otro juego derivado de Cube pero más orientado a modo multijugador. Gráficos tan realistas como tu hardware permita. Detalles como los <em>19mb de tamaño</em> que tiene el paquete y los requisitos mínimos de <em>Pentium3 a 800Mhz</em> hacen a este shoot'em up un poco más atractivo si cabe.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">servizio di DARIA CIOTTI</p>
<p align="justify"><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://www.mymovies.it/filmclub/2007/06/124/imm.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="212" /><span style="color:#333399;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">(tratto da Nuovo Oggi di mercoledì 9 aprile 2008)</span></span> - Difficilmente nelle ultime settimane è capitato di assistere ad una proiezione e sentire tutta la sala, nessuno escluso, scrosciare un applauso convinto alla fine del film. Le risate che hanno animato i 90 minuti di "Shoot’em Up" altro non erano che la dimostrazione di sano divertimento di fronte ad un film che racchiude in sé tanti elementi, dal noir al thriller, dall’azione al romanticismo "sui generis", e che riesce ad emozionare, spaventare, divertire, tutto nello stesso tempo.<br />
Clive Owen è Mr. Smith, un uomo la cui vita è avvolta nel mistero, un taciturno amante delle carote (ricorda un po’ il Lèon di Luc Besson, che però amava il latte), che si trova suo malgrado coinvolto in una sparatoria in cui la vittima designata è una ragazza incinta, sul punto di partorire. Sa maneggiare una pistola, Mr. Smith, sebbene non ci sia nulla che ci spieghi come mai il nostro eroe abbia tanta dimestichezza con le armi, ma di bambini non sa proprio nulla. Eppure è proprio di un neonato che si deve occupare alla fine della carneficina, un fagottino urlante ed indifeso che, a quanto pare, da molto fastidio a qualcuno. "Qualcuno" che ha mandato Mr. Hertz (Paul Giamatti) ad uccidere il piccolo Oliver (così Mr. Smith ha battezzato il piccolo). Ma perché? A chi fa tanta paura un bambino di poche ore? Nel tentativo di scoprire la verità, Smith affida il bambino alle cure dell’amica prostituta DQ (Monica Bellucci) la quale, seppur inizialmente riluttante, accetta di prendersi cura dei due fuggiaschi, mettendo a rischio la sua stessa vita.<br />
Basato su una sceneggiatura di Michael Davies, che lo ha anche diretto, il film nasce da un fumetto e come un fumetto è stato girato: Personaggi dai nomi improbabili, come solo nel miglior fumetto di genere accade, scene d’azione e di sesso ai limiti dell’inverosimile, come la sparatoria ad alta quota in cui si trovano impegnati Smith e una decina circa di killer professionisti.<br />
Clive Owen è il perfetto Mr. Smith: sguardo impassibile, carota perennemente in bocca (o usata come arma impropria in assenza di pistole e simili), poche parole, ruvido quanto basta per arrivare diretto al gradimento dello spettatore. Monica Bellucci, che è venuta a Roma a presentare il film, non si è comportata male, nonostante qualche naturale intoppo incontrato nel doppiaggio di se stessa. Ma la vera sorpresa del film, lasciatecelo dire, è Paul Giamatti. Spesso e volentieri siamo stati abituati a vederlo in ruoli "buonisti", come l’impresario di Russell Crowe in "Cinderella Man" o il protagonista goffo e impacciato di "Lady in the Water", mentre in "Shoot’em up" ha incarnato perfettamente il cattivo, di quelli che più cattivi non si può, che nonostante il suo viso paffuto e simpatico, o forse proprio grazie a quello, ha saputo regalare una maschera di cattiveria e scene di sadismo fuori dal comune.<br />
A presentare il film, che uscirà l’11 aprile con circa 200 copie, è venuta a Roma la protagonista femminile Monica Bellucci, che ha scelto di interpretare il film non appena letto il copione. «L’ho letto e l’ho trovato divertente - ha detto la Bellucci - Davies è un ex storyboarder, quando mi ha presentato il progetto lo storyboard era già pronto, è per questo che mi è piaciuto, l’ho potuto immediatamente visualizzare. E poi avevo voglia di lavorare sia con Clive Owen che con Paul Giamatti. La particolarità di questo film? E’ un film d’azione che lascia però spazio all’attore per creare un personaggio, e così è stato».<br />
Il personaggio di DQ è molto più complesso di quello che possa sembrare in apparenza. Fa la prostituta ma in realtà è una madre mancata, che ha perso il figlio al momento del parto, e che nel prendersi cura di Oliver trova la possibilità di riscatto che non ha avuto fino a quel momento. Ma è anche un personaggio divertente, che quando si arrabbia smette di parlare italiano e inizia a parlare napoletano, così che Mr. Smith non capisca una parola di quello che dice. «In realtà nella versione originale parlavo in inglese e, nei momenti di rabbia, mi esprimevo in italiano. Ma nella versione italiana dovevamo trovare un escamotage per far capire la differenza linguistica, ed è stato così che il direttore del doppiaggio, Francesco Vairano, ha escogitato l’espediente del napoletano. E’ stato divertente, soprattutto nella versione inglese, in cui non ero la sola ad esprimersi in italiano. C’era Paul Giamatti, ad esempio, che spesso doveva dirmi "Mia piccola troietta", proprio in italiano, e faceva una gran fatica, proprio non gli riusciva! Anche questo è stato un momento molto divertente, forse il più divertente di tutto il film».<br />
Una delle scene più "spettacolari" è stata quella in cui Mr. Smith e DQ, durante un momento "intimo", si trovano sotto il tiro di svariate pistole…pur continuando a fare sesso! «E’ stata la scena più difficile del film - ha scherzato la Bellucci - il nostro vero problema in realtà era di non sapere come muoverci, in quel caos non era proprio facile. Ma del resto, una scena così, è meglio farla con Clive Owen che con qualcun altro, no?».<br />
In "Shoot’em Up", sebbene in maniera molto interlocutoria, si affronta il tema delle armi, che oggigiorno in America vengono vendute con fin troppa facilità. «In effetti in questo film si glorifica la pistola perché naturalmente è molto "cinematografica" - ha spiegato la Bellucci - ma effettivamente il problema delle armi viene affrontato sul serio perché negli States è fin troppo facile acquistare un’arma».<br />
Un ritorno alle origini per l’attrice italiana, ai film d’azione ispirati ai fumetti: "Si Shoot’em up è un ‘Dobermann’ americano", in riferimento al film francese del 1997 in cui fu protagonista insieme a quello che sarebbe diventato il marito Vincent Cassel.<br />
Ma "Shoot’em Up" non è il solo film in cui vedremo la Bellucci sui nostri schermi. Presto uscirà il nuovo film di Marco Tullio Giordana, "Sangue Pazzo", oltre all’opera seconda di Maria Sole Tognazzi, "Non voltarti", in cui la Bellucci recita accanto a Pierfrancesco Favino. «E poi c’è un film americano che ho girato con Robin Wright Penn e Julianne Moore, tutto al femminile, dal titolo "La vita di Pippa Lee", diretto da Rebecca Miller».</p>

Also starring some prostitute chick, a baby, and that nerd/loser guy who is in all those movies (he's been in so many, I actually remember that his name is Paul Giamatti, but at this time I still refuse to say his name in conversations) like The Negotiator and Planet of the Apes. The basic premise behind this movie is that people shoot guns and kill people, which happens a lot in this movie.</font></p>
<p><font color="#99cc00">The real story is that Clive Owen just so happens to see a pregnant woman escape from some bad looking dudes, and being the crazy-ass assassin he is, he decides to go against his immediate urges to kill the mom and eat the baby, and do the exact opposite by killing the guys and saving the baby. This pisses off that guy whose name I wont say, and the chase begins. After picking up an old hooker friend, Owen tries to find ways to avoid that guy and some other group of people while trying to figure out why they're all trying to kill the baby in the first place.</font></p>
<p><font color="#008000">This movie has more crazy-impossible action scenes than all the Die Hards combined (minus about five scenes), but it doesn't try to be serious in any part or fashion. Owen is able to kill people with carrots while the hundred or so guys dressed in black who get killed by him couldn't hit a PlayStation 3 with a solidified mass made up of the New England Patriots' shame for losing the SuperBowl to the Giants after being 18-0.</font></p>
<p><font color="#99cc00">If you like movies such as The Punisher or James Bond, this movie will kick you in the teeth. If you like watching some other crappy action movies where you analyze every scene for how close the action or physics are true to real life, then you are an asshole who needs to learn to enjoy just watching a movie.</font></p>

<p>Poucos ports de arcade que chegaram no NES ficaram tão fiel ao original quanto o clássico shooter da Konami de 1988, e olhe que o console recebeu MUITAS versões dos fliperamas.</p>
<p>O shooter é veloz, cheio de inimigos gigantes, lotado de balas e naves rivais aparecendo o tempo todo, além de elementos fixos nas paredes e cenários bem elaborados e interativos, como a onda de fogo no primeiro estágio. Tudo isso com músicas que, apesar de repetitivas, muito envolventes, e uma mínima quantidade de flicks e slowdowns.</p>
<p>Todos esses caprichos nos primeiros anos de vida do console, por isso é que Gradius é um jogo que exige o máximo do Nintendinho.</p>

<p align="justify">Me costó decidir cual debía ser la cantidad de estrellas a darle a esta película, no por su historia, su guón o sus actuaciones, sino porque en ella actúan <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0654110/">Clive Owen</a> y <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0316079/">Paul Giamatti</a>, dos muy buenos actores que han hecho alarde de elegir con pinzas las producciones en las que se involucran. Owen rechazó el papel de James Bond, sin embargo, en esta cinta como el Sr. Smith asume un rol igual de fantástico que el Bond pre <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0185819/">Daniel Craig</a>, ya que de los cientos de disparos que le llueven encima solo uno logra dejarle una leve herida. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465602/">Shoot'em Up</a> es por donde se le mire una película digna de no ser vista, ya que aunque el trasfondo de la historia es interesante (tráfico genético por llamarlo de alguna forma) la realización peca tal como lo hizo <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337978/">Die Hard 4.0</a> (cuya crítica pueden leer <a target="_blank" href="http://dvdplay.wordpress.com/2007/10/30/die-hard-40/">aquí</a>) y muchas otras peliculitas de acción, parte con el climax y espera dejarte ahí FOR-E-VER... lo cual es IM-PO-SSI-BLE Sr. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0205157/">Michael Davis</a>. <!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">Odio las películas que no se toman en serio a si mismas, ya que rompen la ilusión del mundo imaginario que han creado. En el caso de <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465602/">Shoot'em Up</a> pasa eso, por lo menos en parte ya que la película busca ser (por lo que intuyo) un mix de estilos de parodia a las películas de acción, kitsch por sus excesos y adrenalínica por las escenas rápidas e increíbles. Probablemente quienes busquen nada más que acción en un film apreciarán la obra que nos presenta el director <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0205157/">Michael Davis</a>, sin embargo, quienes además del género en si buscamos un buen guión e historia nos topamos con una película pobre y muy mal materializada.</p>
<p align="justify">El Sr. Smith (Owen) es un... no sé. Nunca se sabe quien es. Un tipo rudo, de la calle, curtido por la vida probablemente. Un buen tipo, de esos q<img border="0" vspace="10" align="right" width="350" src="http://dvdplay.wordpress.com/files/2008/01/bangbang.jpg" hspace="10" height="250" />ue son el típico antihéroe rudo, bruto y antipático, pero con moral y valores. Personaje recurrente de Owen, lo vemos repetir parte del perfil presentado en <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401792/">Sin City</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258463/">The Bourne Identity</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454848/">Inside Man</a> y <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0206634/">Children of Men</a>. No me mal interpreten, no me quejo de ver repetir a un actor, muchos personajes de actores famosos se parecen entre si, sin embargo, habría valido la pena conocer un poco más de este Sr. Smith. Mientras escribo esto pienso que el director quiso hacer una especie de <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0208092/">Snatch</a> versión 2007... lejos, muuuy lejos de lograrlo. El Sr. Smith se topa con una embarazada a punto de dar a luz a su hijo, mientras es perseguida por un ejército de malandrines con pistolas. Aquí podemos ver la gracia de Smith por primera vez... ¡cuánto muerto! Por lo menos <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266697/">Kill Bill</a> lo hacía ver entretenido.</p>
<p align="justify">El resto de la película es la cruzada de Smith para proteger al bebé y a la prostituta (quien <img border="0" vspace="10" align="left" width="350" src="http://dvdplay.wordpress.com/files/2008/01/love.jpg" hspace="10" alt="El amor también existe mientras te llueven balas" height="400" />más que <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000899/">Mónica Bellucci</a> para el rol), mientras intenta descubrir el por qué persiguen al susodicho bebé, el cual por cierto es graciosisimo cuando sonríe. Con una inteligencia que ya la quisiera Sherlock Holmes, Smith cacha sin sudar mucho el complejo puzzle en el cual se encuentra metido. Por otro lado Hertz (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0316079/">Paul Giamatti</a>) no se queda atrás y cada vez que Smith se escapa logra dar con él casi por arte de magia. ¡Es que esta gente es muy inteligente! La cinta dura unos largos 87 minutos de acción sin sentido, la cual sorprendentemente carece de explosiones (por lo menos no recuerdo ninguna).</p>
<p align="justify">Hace años recuerdo haber escuchado al mediocre director de <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106697/">Demolition Man</a> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0104193/">Marco Brambilla</a> que lo mejor era partir una película con una gran explosión, ya que así lograbas la atención del público desde el minuto 1 y no lo soltabas más. Claramente no sabía de lo que estaba hablando y su película es recordada como una más dentro de la gran cantidad de basura entregada por Hollywood en los 90's. Shoot'em Up intenta hacer lo mismo, agarrarte desde el principio y no soltarte más y también falla rotundamente en ese intento. Esta película es sin duda mucho más que Demolition Man, tiene más valor ya sea por el nombre de sus actores o por lo que intentaron hacer, sin embargo, hasta Demolition Man tenía una historia más interesante de seguir... y eso, es mushhho que decir.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Max Studio, a name which for much does not say large-thing, and well that will change.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2076/2080427618_3936ad069e_o.jpg" /></p>
<p>They had created the play BurningArmor little known and rather means, but with a version improved of this last Burning Armor Code Enchancement (BACE) that doesn't have anything any more to have and we have a rebirth of the play there.</p>
<p>As you quickly will notice it, it's a Shoot' em up, which begins again of the old man and also makes in the innovation. The history, in short, In 91XX a rumour tells that a weapon of massive destruction at summer creates on Pluton in order to keep away the aliens. Professor Deitfier and his daughter were to work on this project and into informed the Earth. But this last will die, and his/her daughter must turn over on Pluton escorted by a pilot of the name of Kairon (you).</p>
<p>In order to execute your mission as well as possible you will have to cross 8 different places of which the Earth, aliens, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto.</p>
<p><strong><u>Travels of the Earth towards Pluto, is it beautiful?</u></strong></p>
<p>Considering one does not spend all our time in space, yes.</p>
<p>The basic decorations are very detailed, our vessel is well modelled and I appreciate the effect which it leans on a side when one goes from left to right (or conversely of course).</p>
<p>The enemies them also are entitled to the same preferential treatment, especially the boss which is rather large ^^.<br />
Each destruction of enemy causes beautiful explosions, and the use of the EV is more beautiful effect.</p>
<p>When a boss is in approach, one is entitled to a large <strong>WARNING</strong> what makes it possible to prepare us for the confrontation.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2153/2080427682_d4eb082de0_o.jpg" /> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2353/2079641909_454ddb290c_o.jpg" /></p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2028/2080427778_4f070bd5eb_o.jpg" /> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2145/2079642023_9ab2cbddbc_o.jpg" /></p>
<p>Here a short description of what you see with the screen:</p>
<p><strong>HP</strong>: corresponds to your points of life</p>
<p><strong>EV</strong>: it' s your bar of escape, when this one is full, you can dodge all that is on the screen.</p>
<p><strong>EN</strong>: Your bar for the beam, a very powerful special attack: p</p>
<p><strong>$</strong>: not need to describe, I think ;)</p>
<p><strong>Score</strong>: -_-'</p>
<p><strong><u>To control does such a vessel have to be hard, not?</u></strong></p>
<p>Fortunately, not. This last answers the finger and the eye as long as the stylet is used;)</p>
<p>When you to begin a level, you have your bar of <strong><u>EN</u></strong> and empty <strong><u>EV</u></strong>. But not of concern, since as you kill out of the aliens, they will climb.</p>
<p>To use your <strong><u>EN</u></strong>, it is necessary that your bar is filled once, and when that is done, you must press on the corresponding button of action in order to reach at least level 2 of your gauge. As soon as it is full, you will see your vessel slowing down as if it were heavier, you can thus release your super attack.</p>
<p>To use your <strong><u>EV</u></strong>, 2 conditions are neede.</p>
<p>The first which the gauge is full.</p>
<p>The second that of <strong><u>EN</u></strong> as but as on its first level.</p>
<p>That makes it possible to play one can tactical when planets are known. The places where there is too much enemy kamikazes, it' s preferable to use the <u><strong>EV</strong></u>, one will take less damage. On the other hand, for the majority of the boss or if one wants to do housework to use the special attack as much.<br />
A little odd concept at the beginning, but very quickly attractiv.</p>
<p>Another thing, when an enemy is destroyed it leaves parts, it is thus necessary to recover them in order to be able to improve your vessel.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2105/2079642091_5e7f353a84_o.jpg" /></p>
<p><u><strong>Are there the music on another planets?</strong></u></p>
<p>As strange as that can to feel, yes and they stick to environment play well.</p>
<p>The sound effects are not remains about it, since each destruction of aliens causes a pretty sound of explosion and I would even say that each action in the game to his sound effects: to engage <strong><u>EN</u></strong>, to collect parts etc.</p>
<p><strong><u>GO to make  a journey in space?</u></strong></p>
<p>At the price of the game, yes you can allow it to you.</p>
<p>It beautiful, fun, a little technique and have an excellent jouability. What to ask moreover this kind of games?</p>
<p>My only reproach is that it is not possible to safeguard between each level. Since one can make more powerful his vessel, I find that damage. The guy of max Studio, one says to me that they will think of it for a forthcoming version and that they also work on a version with more 3D.</p>
<p><strong>8/10</strong></p>
<p>Need 5mb free to play it.</p>
<p>You can to buy <a href="http://clickgamer.com/moreinfo.htm?pid=6870&#38;section=PPC" target="_blank">here</a>. $19.99.</p>
<p>P.S: The new website of Max-studio is underconstruction, so i don't have link form moment.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://aclockworkapple.wordpress.com/files/2007/12/shoot_em_up_ver2.jpg" title="Shootem Up"><img src="http://aclockworkapple.wordpress.com/files/2007/12/shoot_em_up_ver2.jpg" alt="Shootem Up" height="240" width="169" /></a></p>
<p>Ao contrário do que parece, não vou falar sobre um tipo de jogos de vídeo em que a tecla de disparar está em uso constante, mas sim de um filme com o mesmo nome. “Shoot' em up”, que estreou nas salas portuguesas a 22 de Novembro, conta com argumento e realização de Michael Davis e tem como actores principais Clive Owen, Monica Belluci e Paul Giamatti.<br />
Começo então por dizer que, tal como o título indica é muito tiro e tal, é basicamente um filme de acção! Acontece que não gosto de 90% dos filmes de acção que vejo (e eu ainda assim só vejo os que me atraem minimamente), mas este filme encontra-se nos felizardos 10%.</p>
<p>Relativamente às cenas de acção propriamente dita (murro-murro-pontapé, tiro-explosão-salto, pontapé na mesa-partir janela-saltar e cair nos ombros do inimigo, etc etc), fiquei positivamente surpreso com a quantidade e qualidade! A adrenalina do filme tem contribuições dos “clássicos” referidos atrás e de derivados deles, mas não só. Quando no meio da pancadaria e tiros (sim, vão haver tiros!) estamos à espera que o herói demonstre um truque do costume, ele sai-se com um uma acrobacia totalmente fora que jamais nos passaria pela cabeça (pelo menos a mim, e eu até que sou bastante imaginativo...).</p>
<p>Ora aqui está uma característica que torna este filme especial: A maioria dos filmes de acção têm exageros, balas que pouco magoam, carros com resistência de chaimites, e por aí fora, mas este filme leva esse exagero ao extremo, o que faz passar um comentário do género “Ei, que barrete!” para uma gargalhada sincera!<br />
Quanto à história, é a normal, salvar a mulher (e um bebé também, neste caso), há umas reviravoltas e tal, mas não foge muito disso.<br />
Porém, há certos pormenores que fazem toda a diferença, cenas insólitas com piadas à espreita por trás de certos golpes e disparos!<br />
Clive Owen parte tudo, dá um nível e uma atitude à personagem que lhe é destinada em cada filme que faz! Acho que mesmo que a personagem fosse insípida este homem arranjava maneira de lhe dar a volta! Faz lembrar a frase de Milan Kundera, “There are no small parts, only small actors”.<br />
Continuando, Clive faz o papel de Mr. Smith, o herói solitário, irritado com tudo (eu sei, mais um cliché), que dispara a tudo que se mexe e não falha um único tiro. Este homem tem ainda a característica de comer cenouras que vai sacando do bolso e nunca ,mas mesmo nunca, é apanhado desprevenido! Para além disso, deve ter o poder de abrandar o tempo, para no mesmo salto conseguir dar 3 headshots, apanhar uma pistola que passou por ali a voar e ainda resolver um Sudoku de grau Difícil! Como dizem no filme : “My god. Do we really suck or is this guy really that good?”<br />
Ah, aproveito para informar que as novas salas da Lusomundo já têm “intervalo p'rá pipoca”, parece foi preciso obras para tal melhoria!</p>
<p>Portanto, para além de ser um deleite para os “action junkies” (como lhes chamam lá nos states), “Shoot'em Up” mostra-se um bom filme para a generalidade do público!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Warning, masterpiece. I often don't use this word but there I must acknowledge well that it takes all his direction with this play.<br />
Here is almost a year that I awaited <a href="http://www.claygun.com/" target="_blank">Claygun</a> impatiently, and I must say that I am not disappointed a result;)</p>
<p><strong><u>A little history?</u></strong></p>
<p>A professor of the name of Ishmael Moriarty created a system to produce a new energy via the dream or nightmare of people. Being an honest person, it desired to hide her lucky find because this one appeared unverifiable.<br />
To be able to try out that, it called upon a young genius: Hugo Moriarty who during a bad handling released too much energy. The latter was turned over against him. For this day it has sown panic everywhere in the world by creating immondes monsters.</p>
<p><strong><u>Let's go</u></strong></p>
<p>Above all, will know that the creators of the play are fans of GigaWing, Dragonblaze, Ikaruga, the experts will include/understand already the concept of the play, i.e. to make the largest possible score.<br />
For that it is necessary to pile up a maximum of the parts that the enemies release after their destruction. When one collects much of it, of the mutliplicators appear in order to make inflate this. Of course it is necessary to try not to lose life too much, if not the score isn't very high.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2236/2061354809_e86bedd600_o.gif" /></p>
<p>One begins with small a intro strong sympathetic nerve, a kind of cartoon telling us the history of the play.<br />
Then one reaches the principal menu of the play. The options are traditional: to regulate the level of difficulty of the play, the sound or even the configuration of the buttons. In any event, for this kind of play, one does not ask any more;)</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2346/2061354851_26340daea8_o.jpg" /> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2264/2061354881_bc2b5714d1_o.jpg" /></p>
<p>4 heroes are with our dispostition, having each different armament. Moreover, they have a whole a special attack and an attack of fray.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2252/2062143222_7c168323d3_o.jpg" /> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2302/2061354957_90fa6ae04e_o.jpg" /></p>
<p>The interface of the play is not complicated:</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2420/2062143306_810296c10d_o.jpg" /></p>
<p>1) the number of lives, follow-up of the number of bombs and the speed of play</p>
<p>2) the bar of fray<br />
3) Total and multiplying score<br />
4) a bomb<br />
5) famous parts to be collected</p>
<p><strong><u>Oh that it is beautiful</u></strong></p>
<p>One of the large strong points of the play. That moves in all the directions, much of building and of decorations carried out in 3D, it is rather impressive to see all this moving.<br />
The enemies are varied, detailed well and the boss bear their name well.<br />
All is based a little on the topic of Asia. One can see there temples, large flowers of lotuses which attack us, from the buildings as in Tokyo, of the boats of the Second world war, of the onis, in short it is superb. Ah yes, there is a beautiful effect of depth in order to show well us that one is in the airs and that there are also enemies on the ground.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2202/2061355029_6fdb62d26c_o.jpg" /> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2156/2061355059_617696a6f8_o.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong><u>Easy to fly ?</u></strong></p>
<p>Here also nothing to say, with the stylus one does exactly what one wants. All answers wonder, and that in spite of the number impressing of shootings under which one zigzags. It is even possible to accelerate or slow down the speed of our hero.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2341/2061355083_5ac129ea92_o.jpg" /> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2108/2062143450_a276c193bb_o.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong><u>To resume</u></strong></p>
<p>You will have included/understood it, this play are a wonder, the band its also brilliant and are very adapted to the style of the play, especially the music of the second boss (my preferred).<br />
Add to that a system of points which makes it possible to make inflate the score considerably by recovering parts of different cuts, one arrives quickly at goods 250.000 points;)<br />
Admittedly the play has only 5 levels plus one hidden, but believe one returns me there often above. And when one finishes the play several times, one can gain pretty artworks which will be in the Extra section;)</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2222/2061355137_167ee246e3_o.jpg" /></p>
<p>Accustomed of the old men shoot' em up of arcade enormously will appreciate this small jewel;)<br />
The others will test it and surely to adopt it. One of the 10 best plays Pocket PC and I would say even all supports confused in his category.</p>
<p>9/10</p>
<p>Price: $9.95</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are games that are not yet known and who deserves to be.<br />
Such is the case with AlphaRebellion. A game that mixed reflection and shoot'em up.<br />
Created by the guys <a href="http://www.swordandspiritsoftware.com/" target="_blank">Sword Software and spirit</a> you will quickly realize that you have done an excellent job.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2269/2054822246_0263ae5ab7_o.jpg" /></p>
<p>To begin, this game is viewed from above, and you can move through 360 °.<br />
It includes no less than 10 missions. Each of them on their own goal.<br />
Once you must free hostages, another destroy specific targets, or carry objects (tank, weapons etc.).<br />
To complete your mission you will use the FH-107 Haymaker, a vessel capable of carrying weapons as well as people. And thanks to its radius carrier, moving objects.  Before leaving to play hero, a briefing will be given and it will be possible, subject to payment, to buy different weapons for your vessel.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2251/2054822278_ecf7c94b12_o.jpg" /> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2221/2054038891_60be18d031_o.jpg" /></p>
<p>It was on this platform that you start all your missions and validate them.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2122/2054822336_dae857c22e_o.jpg" /></p>
<p><u><strong>Again walk in space?</strong></u></p>
<p><strong><u></u></strong><br />
It' s difficult but it's worth. The FH-107 Haymake is well made and looks when turning to get around. The enemies were treated at the same preferential treatment as it is for the tanks, turrets and even small detention camps.<br />
Ok, the sets are a little repetitive, but at least there are beautiful and very detailed;)</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2194/2054038967_cbc3332af7_o.jpg" /> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2036/2054038993_615eb5e330_o.jpg" /></p>
<p><u><strong>A vessel easy to fly.</strong></u><br />
As usual, I recommend the stylus for the movement of the vessel, combined with the hardware buttons in order to use / change your weapon and use the same carrier, there will be needed.<br />
One thing that is nice is that you can set the speed of your ship, as if you have to go along on your landing, you can put the turbo<img src="http://www.ppccool.com/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif" alt="Wink.gif" border="0" /></p>
<p>About weapons there is a choice; firing machine-gunned, conventional bombs, neutrons and ions, missiles.</p>
<p>I think that all entries on the screen, explanations are needed: p</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2052/2054822426_ea4e60bd11_o.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>A /</strong> Go to the today screen of the game.<br />
<strong>B /</strong> Lets you turn off the sound and music of the game<br />
<strong>C /</strong> All your weapons. You can switch between them by clicking with your stylus or by using the buttons on your ppc.<br />
<strong>D /</strong> The state of your vessel<br />
<strong>E /</strong> Indicates where are your goals<br />
<strong>F /</strong> indicates the speed of your vessel<br />
<strong>G /</strong> Ammunition remainder of the weapon you are currently using.</p>
<p><strong><u>About sounds</u></strong></p>
<p>Very goodl, explosions, music everything is perfect with nothing to say.  The fx as when using the carrier as good.</p>

<p>Very good game with sharp graphics and detailed.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font color="#ff0000">&#62;</font> <em><strong>Shoot'Em up</strong></em><br />
New Line Cinema, 2007<br />
<font color="#808080">Dir: Michael Davis.</font><font color="#808080"><font color="#808080"> Con Cl</font>ive Owen, Monica Bellucci, Paul Giamatti.<br />
86 min. </font></p>
<p><font color="#ff0000">&#62;</font> <strong>Sinopsis:</strong> Clive Owen, que repite la gabardina sucia de <em>Children of Men,</em> es Smith, un señor que come zanahorias durísimas y se tiene que hacer cargo de un recién nacido (que nace limpio y con dos meses de edad), porque a la madre la matan unos malos... Ya está. Diez minutos, no pudimos ver más. Menudo coñazo... Clive Owen aburre, Paul Giamatti mola y Monica Bellucci es lo mismo de siempre, así que aprovecho el espacio para recomendar los yogures líquidos de aloe vera de Kaiku, y el aloe vera en general.<em><br />
