This looks like the best thing Spielberg has done in a very long time and Abrams is an awesome director so this is going to be great.

Awesome Movie Trailers
This week had some great trailers. Here look at the ones for X Men Harry Potter and Immortals.
Tell me these don't spell epic. They are all great trailers.

Bioshock Review
Bioshock is destined to be one of the defining experiences of gaming. It starts with a helicopter crash in the ocean, and ends in a way that ties it all together. The opening sequence and descent into Rapture I will always remember. Andrew Ryan was one of the best characters I have ever seen and his death was disturbing. The twist at the end suprised me, and your true relationship with Ryan was awesome. The best characters were obviously Ryan and Fontaine, but the Big Daddy and Little Sisters were aweome charactors too. Rapture is a beautiful yet horrifying city and the graphics continue too hold up, even to this day.
The one thing I hated about this game was near the end, when you were extremely low on ammo and health packs, and had to fight to survive. The ending fight also was a dissapointment, I thought it ended too quickly. All in all, Bioshock was an awesome game. It had awesome characters, awesome visuals, and an amazing story. I need to do another top game list. I'd give it a 9.3 out of 10.

What to do when Bored (Physical Activity is key)
I have blogged multiple times about being bored. Now, don't think that last night I magically had something to do, I didn't, but there are several options about what to do when bored.
I have found some sites with awesome activities to do that night or over the weekend (when your an only child it can easily be both) chech them out!

I for one have a couple things I turn to when I'm bored. These almost always include movies and xbox, but going outside is an awesome thing to do.
To fight boredom, the best thing you could possibly do is to go outside. You play and get physical activity. This can stimulate your body, making you feel better. You don't have a headache like you do when you play Call of Duty for two hours.
Websites for stuff to do when you outside.

So going outside is often fun and awesome, when you have someone to do it with. Lets consider you don't have any siblings, like me, and you have no one. What do you do? Call a friend!

Now video games are still very fun, but I hate Call of Duty, it's true. I find it to be a game with almost no purpose other than to blow stuff up and shoot things. So I play games that stimulate your mind. Two I can think of are Portal 2 and the upcoming L. A. Noire. These games make you think to win.
Games to play other than Call of Duty
http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/30444/t1632660-fun-multi-player-games-that-aren-call-of-duty/
Mass Effect 2
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Oblivion
Mario
Zelda
Kirby
Donkey Kong
Portal and Portal 2
Red Dead Redemption
Bioshock and Bioshock 2
The list goes on and on...
So there are games other than Call of Duty, that has been established. The best idea of being bored is to something extremely fun and unique, usually with company. Hopefully you can get excercise too!

Bored (again)
My parents took away my xbox again so I can't play online and I can't play Portal or Bioshock. I wasn't invited to my friend's party and I didn't go to the school thing, so I'm not doing anything either. If anyone has any ideas at all I would love it if you could help me out and find me something to do. I can't watch movies all weekend.

Top 10 Movie Songs and Themes
I have decided to do a list of the top 10 movie songs from scores. This means work by Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, John Williams, and Howard Shore. I love movie scores, so this is a hard list for me.
10. Injection by Hans Zimmer: Mission Impossible 2
So epic and full of win. Much like all of Zimmer's work. But this one is unique for making the second the best in the series.
9. Where is my Mind? The Pixies: Fight Club
One of the defining qualities of the music on this list is there from great movies. This defined the ending of one of my favorite movies of all time.
8. Godfather Theme: The Godfather
Although I haven't seen this film(seriously) I have heard this song and The Godfather is considered one of the greatest films of all time. This is one of the most beautiful and tragic movie themes.
7. Shawshank Redemption Stoic Theme: The Shawshank Redemption
Probably the best film of all time in my opinion, The Shawshank Redemption is truly a hallmark of both american cinema and shows just how talented Stephen King truly is. The theme is perfect and tragic.
6. Back to the Future Theme: Back to the Future
Back to the Future is a perfect movie. It's funny and awesome at the same time. The theme has embedded itself in my mind forever.
5. Old Souls, Dream is Collapsing, and Time tie: Inception
By far the best movie of 2010 and the best science fiction movie since 2009's Star Trek, the soundtrack of this film is one of Hans Zimmer's many masterpieces. It would be too hard to debate over which track is truly the best so I cheated and threw them all in there.
4. Batman Theme and Why so Serious?: Batman and The Dark Knight
Both are awesome themes but one is old and one is new. They both beat the now iconic batman tv show theme.
3. Indiana Jones Theme
Classic. One of William's best themes.
2. Halloween Theme
Scary thrilling fun. Whenever it kicks in you know someone will die.
1. Star Wars Theme
The theme that defines movies as we know it. One of the best and obviously a classic. It's definitly my favorite.
Honorable Mentions
Superman
Harry Potter
Spiderman

Honorable Mentions
Superman

Old Souls
Allthough I think that all of the Inception is fantastic, the track Old Souls is the one that connects it the most to the films Blade Runner and 2001, the two finest science fiction films of all time.(other than Empire, but find out more in my countdown.) Here listen to it...
When you listen to this track it really makes you think of the dystopian society of Blade Runner or the cold clean architecture of 2001. This ranks in my favorite movie songs.
