Take It To “The Bridge”

buy gabapentin 300 mg for dogs The Bridge (Wednesday nights, 7 pm) is the latest crime drama to charge out of the FX network stables. It stars Diane Kruger as aasperger-ish, issue-laden, El Paso detective Sonya Cross and Demián Bichir as freshly-vasectomied, Chihuahua detective Marco Ruiz. Cross and Ruiz form an unlikely dynamic duo while investigating serial killings along the Texas-Mexico border, the first of which we’re exposed to is a Texas judge whose body is left on the border line of The Bridge of the Americas (see what they did there?).

Annabeth Gish also stars (probably best known as Special Agent Monica Reyes on the post-shark jump X-Files). She discovers her late husband has kept a few secrets from her, the most sinister of which appears to be behind a pad locked door in a remote area of their ranch. We aren’t shown what’s inside yet, but if I had to venture a guess, I’d have to go with either Sloth or a mammoth collection of bestiality-type porn.

The car that the diabolical antagonist uses to drop off the body in the opening scene is traced back to has-been reporter Daniel Frye (Matthew Lillard), who ends up getting trapped inside said car with a bomb rigged to a cell phone timer. The detectives then receive a message from possibly Jigsaw, stating, “We’ve got some interesting times ahead.”

I hope you’re right serial killer.
I hope you’re right.

This was a solid pilot with some good twists and turns. There’s also a great scene at Detective Ruiz’ captain’s palatial estate (complete with big cats) that alone merits a look.

I give The Bridge 4 rico pan dulces out of 5.

In the near future, mankind will be invaded by way of a rift between worlds in the middle of the ocean. And so the war for the survival of mankind begins in “Pacific Rim”, a movie that I believe could easily be one of the best movies that no one went to see. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Bioshock Infinite Review

by Darrel Troxel

It’s been about three months (at the time of this writing) since the game had been released. Bioshock Infinite was released on March 26th 2013. On March 27th, 2013, the seed of obsession began to germinate.

 

I had been seeing the commercials on TV and hearing from twitter how amazing Bioshock Infinite is. My initial thought was “yeah, that looks like a neat game but… I don’t know…”. My hesitation was based purely on the cost of the game, as well as my perception that the game was only available on consoles. I currently own 2 consoles, a Wii (for Netflix), and a NES/SNES clone. This should give you a good idea of my “gamer” street cred. I am a gamer, there’s no doubt about that; but I carefully choose the games I’d like to play, because they are wallet draining. Fine, I’m cheap! There I said it, now I don’t have to pay a therapist. Score!
