Top Video Game Reviews

Not only you can watch movies on your Blu-Ray disc player or DVD player but you can also watch movies on your PS3. You know, that little video game console from the world’s number one gizmo maker? Well, today, not only you can play video games on your video game console but you can even enjoy watching movies, browse the World Wide Web and listen to music and what you need to do is just to install the Linux operating system on your Playstation 3 and it’s a possibility. There is a book guide that will teach you how and where to get Linux for PS3 and once you have installed the software, you can literally do everything with it, the same things you can do with your PC or your home theater system.

At this very time, only a handful of people have found out that they can install Linux OS on their PS3 and there are more things that someone needs to find out on his Playstation 3 other than playing video games and watching movies. With the Linux installed, you can practically do anything on your PS3 just like an ordinary PC unit. You can load images, edit them and you might even do a lot of spreadsheets and documents on your PS3. This is only possible when you get to do PS3 Linux installation. But the problem is, how can you learn to do this?

As what have said earlier, there are book guides that are now spreading and are being promoted on the Internet and there are some people who have used some a book guide and have actually tried using it to install Linux OS on PS3 and they have succeeded. But they are emphasizing that in order to get the best book guide, find something that has a sort of PS3 Linux Yellow Dog system which will enable you to use your PS3 a whole lot more other than what is mentioned above.

Since 1975, one actress has been stealing the stage and the screen; proving that age has nothing on ability. Though an American, this actress is world renowned as she has won numerous awards all over the world for the variety of roles that she has played throughout her lengthy acting career, not to mention her many nominations! She was born Mary Louise Streep on the 22nd of June, 1949, in Summit, NJ to Mary and Harry Streep. She soon became accustomed to the nickname Meryl (which is somewhat of a combination of her first and middle names).

After high school, she attended Vassar College, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Drama. Streep briefly attended Dartmouth as well, but later graduated from Yale School of Drama with her Masters in Fine Arts Degree.

Starting out as many actors do, on the stage, she got her first taste of true acting in 1971 while playing the role of Imogene Parott in Trelawney of the Wells.  She met her first fiancé, John Cazale, while performing in Measure for Measure.  Shortly afterward, she landed a role alongside Cazale in The Deer Hunter, which premiered in 1978. Cazale died of bone cancer in March of that same year.

Streep buried herself in her work after Cazale’s death. However, in late 1978, she married sculptor Don Gummel. As gathered from Streep’s own quotes throughout the years, she had obviously developed the theory that life is too short; a theory which many realize much too late in life. Perhaps this is why she married so quickly after Cazale’s passing. Regardless of reason, the marriage has withstood the tests of time for nearly 31 years.  The pair has four children, Henry, Mamie, Grace and Louisa.

Streep’s work has been continuous throughout the years, but her best known role is likely that of Sophie Zawistowski, a surviving woman of the Polish Holocaust. Though Streep has stated time and time again that she cares nothing about fashion, her role as the editor-in-chief of Runway Magazine, Miranda Priestly, in the movie The Devil Wears Prada forced her to act otherwise. This 2006 film became number 2 on Streep’s list of highest grossing films; with the first being the 2008 film adaptation of Broadway hit Mama Mia! Both of these films garnered worldwide appreciation; allowing Streep to once again earn new fans the world over.

Streep currently has two films in production mode. Surely, her obsession with perfecting her roles will continue to entertain fans for years to come.

O’Shea Jackson (born June 15, 1969), better known by his stage name Ice Cube is an African-American rapper, actor, screenwriter, and producer. He began his career as a member of the rap group N.W.A along with group leader Eazy-E, and later launched a successful solo career in music and cinema.
In 1992, he married Kimberly Woodruff, with whom he has four children, and converted to Islam. From the mid-1990s onwards, Cube focused on acting, and his musical output has slowed down considerably. He remains one of the most visible West Coast rappers, having helped originate gangsta rap.

Ice Cube was born O’Shea Jackson in South Central Los Angeles, California, where he was raised, the son of Doris (née Benjamin), a hospital clerk and custodian, and Andrew Jackson, who worked as a groundskeeper at California State University. His cousin is Teren Delvon Jones, also known as Del
tha Funkee Homosapien, of Deltron 3030, Gorillaz and Hieroglyphics. At age sixteen, Ice Cube developed an interest in hip hop music, and began writing raps in Taft High School’s keyboarding class. He attended the Phoenix Institute of Technology in the fall of 1987, and studied Architectural Drafting. With friend
Sir Jinx, Cube formed the C.I.A., and they performed at parties hosted by Dr. Dre. In an interview with well-known British broadsheet newspaper, The Guardian, Ice Cube stated he is a Muslim, having converted sometime in the 1990s.

In 1987 Cube and Dr. Dre released the EP My Posse, under the alias CIA and the county police. After the collaboration, Cube showed Eazy-E the lyrics to “Boyz-n-the-Hood”. Eazy-E, although initially rejecting the lyrics, eventually recorded the song for N.W.A. and the Posse, the debut album for the group N.W.A (short for Niggaz With Attitude) that included him, Cube, Dre, and other rappers MC Ren and DJ Yella.

Recent years: In 2004, his hit singles “Check Yo Self”, “It Was a Good Day” and affiliated song “Guerrillas in tha Mist” with Da Lench Mob appeared on popular video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas playing on fictional radio stations.

In late 2005, Ice Cube and Emmy Award winning film maker R. J. Cutler, teamed up to create the six-part documentary series titled Black. White., which was broadcast on cable network FX. In May 2006 Ice Cube accused Oprah Winfrey of not welcoming rappers on her show, and specifically, for not inviting him to the show when the rest of the cast of films that he participated in were invited. Cube’s other movie projects include Teacher of the Year, released in 2007, and “The Extractors”, released in 2008. Cube has also completed Are We Done Yet?, the sequel to 2005’s successful “Are We There Yet”?

There is obviously much more to Ice Cube’s life and career.  You can learn more by playing Ice Cube trivia, Ice Cube you can do it or Ice Cube bow down at MastersOfTrivia.com.

It is former superstar singer and actress Judy Garland’s birthday today!

Through a career that spanned 45 of her 47 years, Garland attained international stardom as an actress in musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist and on the concert stage. Respected for her versatility, she received a Juvenile Academy Award, won a Golden Globe Award, received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her work in films, as well as Grammy Awards and a Tony Award. She had a contralto singing range.

Judy Garland (born Frances Ethel Gumm, June 10, 1922 – June 22, 1969) was a truly amazing talent.  But Despite her professional triumphs, Garland battled personal problems throughout her life. Insecure about her appearance, her
feelings were compounded by film executives who told her she was unattractive and overweight. Plied with drugs to control her weight and increase her productivity, Garland endured a decades-long struggle with addiction. Garland
was plagued by financial instability, often owing hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes, and her first four of five marriages ended in divorce. She attempted suicide on a number of occasions. Garland died of an accidental drug overdose at the age of forty-seven, leaving children Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft, and Joey Luft.

In 1997, Garland was posthumously awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and several of her recordings have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 1999, the American Film Institute placed her among the ten greatest female stars in the history of American cinema.

Garland landed the lead role of Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz (1939) at the age of sixteen, in which she introduced the song with which she would forever be identified, “Over the Rainbow”. Although producers Arthur Freed and Mervyn LeRoy had wanted Garland from the start, studio chief Mayer tried first to borrow Shirley Temple from 20th Century Fox. Temple’s services were denied and Garland was cast.

Judy Garland’s legacy as a performer and a personality has endured long after her death. The American Film Institute named Garland eighth among the Greatest Female Stars of All Time.

Of particular note is Garland’s status as a gay icon. She always had a large base of fans in the gay community. Reasons often given for her standing, especially  amongst gay men, are admiration of her ability as a performer, the
way her personal struggles supposedly mirrored those of gay men in America during the height of her fame and her value as a camp figure.

There’s been tie-in movie video games pretty much as long as there have been the means to play video and computer games. Whilst many of them have been decent, the majority have been somewhat lacking in essentially every manner that made the feature films they were based around special. Currently, thankfully there is a great selection of movie video games out to get into- a few of which might well be much better than the films themselves!

First of all there’s the tie-in movie video game based on X-Men Origins: Wolverine. This all-action game is remarkably hugely better than the Wolverine movie itself! Created by Raven Software, the game features a rather different plot to the popular film, but it does contain Hugh Jackman’s voice and visual likeness. The game features all of Wolverine’s attributes, which are utlilized in a cool way- especially his healing power.

As far as Marvel games go, the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie video game is very violent, as you’ll notice from the battlefield decorated with decimated cadavers and other lovely things. Well, Wolverine definitely has claws. Here you are able to make him use them to their optimum horrific effect.

Next there is the awesome video game based on Terminator Salvation, the fourth film in the apocalyptic cyborg science fiction adventure film franchise. Where the third film Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and its movie video game version were excruciatingly bad, this appears to be going in tandem with the exciting new direction of the new movie and is fantastic to look at and play. Here’s a notable example of how movie video games are getting better a huge amount lately.

Now thanks to two-player co-operative gameplay, the Terminator universe is catching up with other games such as mega-hit Gears of War franchise, permitting for some serious split-screen battles to be played out. Merge this with the beautifully rendered distopian future world that the movie video game happens in, which you can use to your full advantage when playing the video game, and you have one compelling prospect for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

The highly anticipated Ghostbusters movie video game is something that is causing a huge hubbub. With the revelation that the third Ghostbusters movie is finally going to be made, 20 years after the first Ghostbusters sequel came out, now is the great time to remind yourself of the classic Ghostbusters characters and scenes. Let’s face it, that 1st film is an absolute classic in every sense of the term, and finally there’s a movie video game that does it the justice it deserves.

The story of the new Ghostbusters game was written by Harold Ramis and Dan Ackroyd, the writers (and stars) of the classic first two Ghostbusters movies, so the game may even be canon to a certain extent. The classic original four Ghostbusters movie characters have been recreated as fantastic digital interpretations of the actors, and the whole game looks fantastic. All of your character’s vital readings are shown on your Proton pack, giving this movie video game a somewhat similar atmosphere to Dead Space. With all of the classic creatures showing up in the game, fans will be thrilled when they get hold of it for their DS, PS3, PC, Xbox 360 or Wii.

Following on from so many lacking movie video game tie-ins, it seems that the new titles that are being released are being made with much more of an eye on for the source material and also what fans demand out of a movie video game based on their favourite titles. These are some of the best movie video games out right now, and hopefully they’ll help you unleash a vibrant new level of fun from your favourite films.
