Season 9 of the supernatural series begins with the fallout from heaven's angels descending to earth. Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) suddenly find themselves living in a world that is now inhabited by thousands of powerful, angelic beings, some of whom want them dead. The brothers then embark on a journey to reopen the gates of heaven. Meanwhile, Castiel (Misha Collins) struggles to survive without his powers and embarks on living as a human; Crowley (Mark Sheppard), the King of Hell, is kidnapped by Dean in order to find demons on earth; and Abaddon (Alaina Huffman), the Knight of Hell, reappears with plans to take over hell once and for all.

While the show still isn't what it used to be ("you know, saving people, hunting things, the family business."), this is season was worlds better than the two previous. I'm still a fan, the only bad episode was the Bloodlines Pilot (which even CW passed on) in the middle of the season.
You are Talion, Ranger of the Black Gate. For what seems like eons, you have guarded the entrance to Mordor, keeping watch over Sauron's undisturbed dwelling place with relative uneventfulness. But in the blink of an eye, everything you hold dear is snatched from your grasp. Your family, your friends — even your very life is taken from you in one fell swoop that leaves your soul desolate and filled with an eternal rage. Resurrected by an unforgiving spirit, you have one purpose to your life, one thing that keeps your heart pumping and your mind from giving in to the relentless grief — vengeance. Prepare yourself to embark on a dogged vendetta that calls upon you to fight your way through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit who compels you. This epic tale of revenge and redemption transforms you into the most feared force in the land — the Shadow of Mordor.Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron's return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. Based on the player's actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion's personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.

I'll pretty much play anything. That being said, Mordor has been one of my recent favorites. I've put a huge amount of time into it and I haven't even finished the main storyline. You pretty much just lose yourself murdering thousands of orcs and forget there's even a story (which if you are into LOTR, the story is kind of awesome).
The eighth and final season of Psych finds the unconventional "psychic" investigator detective Shawn Spencer (James Roday) and his best friend Burton "Gus" Guster (Dule Hill) tackling some of the toughest criminal cases in Santa Barbara. Among the guest stars featured include Mira Sorvino, Tom Arnold, Loretta Devine, and Bruce Campbell.

While not necessarily as good as some of the previous seasons, PSYCH is still one of my favorite shows and a treat to go back and watch every so often. There's so many references that you may not pick up on the first time. In addition, it's such a quotable show. My friends and I still use "Heard it both ways" to this day.

Quite possibly the best movie of the year (Capt. America: Winter Soldier being just a smidge better). And this case is perfect. I don't normally get into the whole Metal Case thing, they're cool, but not a make or break deal for a purchase. This one however, just rocks. It looks very much like the cassette player in the movie (a big part of the story as you watch the movie) and even has worn bits with scratches as if it were used daily. Highly recommend both the movie and this case.

It's difficult to "reboot" a successful franchise. The Sam Rami series had it's faults and positives. One great choice the new franchise makes is in Andrew Garfield. I believed he was the quippy borderline jerk when he was Spiderman. I absolutely believed he was the shy/awkward geek when Parker. Emma Stone is a fantastic love interest. Replacing a great Aunt May and Uncle Ben was also no easy task, but one that was very well chosen. The film also made me want to know a lot more about Parker's parents (something the other franchise didn't), which I guess we may get in the sequel. As far as story . . . well it's an origin movie so we get another retelling of how Parker gets to be Spiderman. This one was pretty good, my only issue is he can't possibly be the only person to ever get bitten by these genetically altered spiders. They're in a giant facility where apparently people can just waltz in. And if he isn't the first, why did he survive? Very little explanation, but if it gets us to him MAKING HIS OWN WEBSHOOTERS and swinging from building to building I'm in. Although the villain is very well chosen both story and acting wise, it gets tiring to see another bad guy with dual personalities (I know it's a reboot, but didn't we just deal with that the entire last franchise with Goblin?). All in all it's definitely a set up movie for the sequel. It's fun, funny, and has 100% less whine (looking at you Tobey Maguire). Plus how can you go wrong with Denis Leary as the police captain/father you would never want to meet?

What's great about it: Garfield as Peter Parker. He created his own web shooters. Emma Stone.
What's not so great: Dual Personality Villain has been done a lot. Very little explanation on the genetically altered spiders.
