Oceans 13: Not Too Shabby

Well I am not a great movie critic, nor a respectable one but I am a frequent movie go-er who might share the same opinions as many out there.

Oceans 13 started off well but from seeing the other two, Oceans 11 and Oceans 12 one could already tell what the plot and how it was going to unfold would be. The only difference-well the biggest in this one was the fact that it seemed like the conflict was straight out of a Mission Impossible movie. Things just got more complicated to where it seemed like there would be no end, but none-the-less Hollywood pulled through and it worked out in a fairly well told story.

The movie was good over-all but despite that the movie had it’s bland moments where the yawning in the theater was apparent.

Can’t say that I’m mad though, I had a free movie pass.

Moto Q: Crap never looked so good

So as anyone knows getting a new phone can bring some excitement. Well for me it gave me a reason to have that in your face, boasting, gloatiful attitude well for a while at least. For any technological geek like myself the Moto Q was the perfect answer. Big, bulky, and a full qwerty keyboard well I was in heaven, right up until I turned it on and realized that Moto Q’s Windows Mobile Os had the look of a pc, and also the crashing rate of one.

It seems that this phone while it looks nice was really a piece of crap, even my LG phone which was certifiable crap was less crapier then this phone. Let’s say in a situation where I needed to make an important phone call or text message I would be better off with two paper cups with a string and a telegraph machine. After a couple months of use I realized this phone was a huge pain in the a**, however I did like the attention I’d get from just simply pulling it out, trust me the reactions were great.

Other then the constant freezing issues easy to use features, storing numbers, calling people houses or cells or texting, well simple features really aren’t even so simple. It’s to complicated for it’s own good almost like the complex watch where you go, “Yea but can it tell time?”

Overall this phone needs to improve, and it will through time and through better understanding of what needs to be done, primarily the freezing and some features. The look is great…yea I love it even though my fat fingers hit all sorts of small buttons all the time almost but it really is a cool looking phone.

 It’s cool yea…but give it time it’ll be less crappy.
