Some April Releases

New Release Tuesday is here!

Annnnnnd gone… Today might be April 16th, 2014 but we can still talk about yesterdays new releases.


The Secret life of Walter Mitty: Some folks called this the next Forrest Gump, Im not too sure how that turned out for Ben Stiller and co but My guess is they failed to reach THAT high. Staring and Directed by Stiller this is based off James Thurbers story of a day dreamer who leaves reality to into a world full of romance and action, But once his real world life is in danger(or his job) he must make the day dreaming more of a reality. One film still on my to see list.

Ride Along: When I saw the preview for Ride Along all I could think is “Wow Kevin Hart has found a lot of work” which is alright with me as He is typically pretty funny but this isn’t his stand up its a motion picture also staring Ice Cube who plays a hot head cop who finds his sisters boy friend (hart) as just some nerdy high school security guard thats not worth his sisters time. To prove James(Ice Cube) wrong he joins the Academy and hopes to earn the respect, Thus comes the ride along to prove if he has what it takes to protect the woman he loves, and one crazy night… Should be a fine random rental for the night.

The Nut Job: The kids movie of the week is an animatied action/comedy of squirrels and others fuzzy creatures. Staring Will Arnett as the voice of Surly the crazy squirrel and his rat buddy plan to heist the nut store. If you have kids you have more than likely already have it on the to see list. Also staring Liam Neeson/Jeff Dunham/Brendan Fraser and others.


Also out this month:

Anchorman 2: I actually enjoyed the first film even if it is a Will Ferrel film, But the rest of the cast just blended pretty well and I look forward to seeing them together again. Ive heard mostly negative about it which scares me a bit but it is a comedy after all.

47 Ronin: It came and went in theaters and I already feel the same about it on DVD, But it did have something about it that made me wanna see Keanu kick some butt once again.

The Hobbit 2: Yeah thats not the name but everyone really should have already seen and known about this fantasy film, Plus the Lego Hobbit is out this month as well.

Grudge Match: De Niro and Stallone think they both still have it, Im not too sure if this is the best film to try and prove that. Kevin Hart also appears in this film as well. If you enjoy these guys and Boxing it will already be on your list but i don’t think it has enough depth to catch others attention.

This month has been a busy one for me so maybe some catch up on Video Games is a need. From PS+ releases, Games on Gold & new releases heres what April has brought us thus far!

Mercenary Kings: The free PS+ game of the month for the PS4 might not be for everyone(that seems to be how it has gone thus far) But this is one game that is right up my alley. I have great memories as a kid playing Metal Slug in the arcades, Funny to think back on it because it was always during my family vacation/camping trip….the camp ground had an arcade in the shop and I found myself playing Metal Slug for hours…Thats bad now I know ha but I loved that time. Anyways MK has that same style and even has the graphic design that metal slug had but seems to be a bit more deeper come story and items. You can even craft items which alone gives it more depth than Metal Slug. If you enjoy the side scrolling shooting games or just happen to have a PS4 and enjoy free stuff it is a must.

The Elder Scrolls Online: It has already had some mixed reaction but honestly who would expect anything more from a new MMO? Even if it is based on the super popular RPG series of the same name(Elder Scrolls) it still faces a huge up hill battle against World of Warcraft and even offline RPGs like its own brother Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The thing is it is fresh meat in the MMO world so people will give it a try and so will fans of the ES series. The thing that hurts me in this release is the fact that the game is $60 and you still have the Monthly fee(yes the first month is included in that $60 price tag) of $15 which seems to be pretty steep for me to try and jump on at this point in time. But if MMOs are your thing, why not test the new waters?

Kinect Sports Rivals: A new game for the Xbox One and its to try and showcase the newer Kinect, Fans of the 360 version of the Kinect Sports series should still find some pleasure this time around, New owners of the Xbox One might also want to try something out that uses the Kinects motion sensor and what better than a sports/party game? Just remember to have a decent amount of room to play or you might break a leg o_O;

Lego The Hobbit: A family fun series steps back into the JRR Tolkien world of little people and giant spiders, tree folks and other Fantasy creatures. Not much for me to really say because I feel like the Lego games just keep popping out all over the place, I do have to say because of how enjoyable and fresh the Lego Marvel game felt the new Hobbit might be worth it even if you are “over” Lego games at this point.

Of course their are plenty of other games that have come out between these titles above and by all means explore the choices and let me know what YOU think is worth our time to play.




Until next time, Watch, Game & Release your mind.
