Forza Motorsport 6 - Chryslus Rocket 69 DLC Review

Forza Motorsport 6 - Chryslus Rocket 69 DLC Review

Forza Motorsport 6 has received another of its ever growing list of cars in the game. The newest being the Chryslus Rocket 69 from Fallout 4. The Chryslus Rocket 69, or "Cherry Bomb", not a ordinary car, being inspired by the 1950's American Motorama style of car, using having a turbine engine instead of petrol or diesel. From the cockpit, the player/racer using a joystick instead of a steering wheel to control the car, as well as be confound to the glass, dome roof. The Chryslus Rocket 69 is not the only crossover vehicle in the Forza Series; in Forza Motorsport 4 the Halo series' UNSC Warthog was available to look at in the Autovista, narration from Jen Taylor (Cortana).

Traveling over 260mph, the turbine engine is good for long races as the fuel never goes down, just like the Tesla Model S. The acceleration is a bit terrible, as well as the steering and braking. While upgrading, the engine is unable to be tinkered. In turning, being only one gear and the suspension being so soft, a lot of work will be required to make this a good racer.

Overall: Really sweet, I hope that lots of other crossover cars worm their way into the Forza Motorsport games. 9/10
Final thought: "Brings me back to playing Fallout 4."

The Big Bang Theory 200th Episode Review

After nearly 10 years, The Big Bang Theory is 200 episode old. Starting with a of nerdy friends, and the hot girl moving in across the hallway. The episode is about Dr. Sheldon Cooper's birthday, after many years of being tortured by his twin sister and her friends, he never liked celebrating his birthday. But Amy insists on celebrating Sheldon's birthday. Raj, Leonard and Howard even pick up a special guest for the party, Adam West - the original Batman! It starts off well, but Sheldon gets all flustered and runs to hide in the bathroom. Penny eventually talks him out, to have a speech; which turns into other people taking speeches about Sheldon. Even a special webcam chat with Professor Stephen Hawking is funny and great ending to Sheldon's birthday party.

All the original cast, which has grow over the years, was great and on-que with the hilarious one-liner jokes. Adam West, well... speechless - he is Batman, enough said. Even with the secondary characters like Stuart and Barry were still as funny as their first days of the Big Bang Theory.

Overall: Always will be great! 10/10
Final thought: "Ranking the Batmen."

The Jungle Book Review

Mowgli (Neel Sethi), the man-cub, was orphaned when Shere Khan (Idris Elba) killed his father. Mowgli was later found by Bagheera (Ben Kingsley) and was given to the leader of a pack of wolves, named Akela (Giancarlo Esposito). Mowgli tried to fit in with the other wolf cubs of the pack, but being a human, he was not made to hunt and run, not being able to keep up with the rest of the pack. But then a long drought occurred, forcing the animals of the jungle to drink at the Peace Rock, where a truth is active because water is more important than food. This is where Shere Khan meets Mowgli, being burned by the man's red flower earlier in life, he hates all humans. So the wolf and Mowgli both decide that it is better for Mowgli to go back to the Man Village. Bagheera votes to take him back, but then run into a friendly sloth bear, named Baloo (Bill Murray), a hypnotising python, named Kaa (Scarlett Johansson), also well as the king of the jungle, a giant orangutan named King Louie (Christopher Walken).

After living with Baloo for a while, Mowgli decides than he rather live with Baloo, living a care-free life. But Bagheera forces Baloo to send him back to the Man Village, this is where Mowgli finds the Man's red flower, where he takes the fire to fight back Shere Khan, as he is not afraid of him anymore.

This movie is, of course, was not as good as the original Disney's The Jungle Book, but that was to be expected. Never the less, it was still a really good film, more for the early teenage audience, as some scenes could be scary for the younger viewer. Bill Murray played a really good Baloo, but I kept getting flash backs of him as Garfield, both being talking animated animals in a live-action film. Ben Kingsley was brilliant Bagheera, really liked how he portrayed his character. King Louie being played by the legendary actor Christopher Walken, but I just think the character was just too serious for the part of King Louis, especially looking at how the original Jungle Book film showed him to be. Idris Elba as Shere Khan was one of the greatest actors in the film, with his moody voice coming across the character, with the hints of his BBC character of Luther. Neel Sethi playing the only real character in the film was really great, being his first ever film, especially playing the lead role. Knowing Neel did all of his own stunts, being 12 years old, I was very impressed. Still preferring the original 1967 film, I thought it was a good modern adaption.

Overall: Still like the original film better... 7/10
Final thought: "They changed King Louie's song..."
