Angry Birds Space

Angry birds space has finally arrived! After months of teasing the internet with movie style posters of everybody’s favorite birds wearing super awesome new flight gear. The internet has been squawking with anticipation wonder just what the birds will bring to the table. Turns out they deliver and how! It really is out of this world.
So the first new thing we have here is the difference in gravity. Physics were always central to the angry birdsphere, now even more so. As you know, we are in space now. So, once you shoot your favorite birds, if they don’t go near the gravitational pull of a tiny planet they just flap and squawk into the endless abyss. Most of those gosh darned pigs are found within a gravitational pull stacked on the familiar ice, wood and cement blocks. Once the birds cross that threshold, centrifugal force takes over! The bird then circles the planet with increasing speed until BANG! You just gave those pigs the bird!
In other levels, we find those pigs floating in space, suspended in a bubble for oxygen purposes. A pig’s gotta breathe ya know? In these you only have to nudge them in the right direction and then they fall to the planet like fallen angels. There are so many levels, with so many options and the colors are far out. In other levels, we find golden eggs and if you hit them you open a black hole, so then there’s even more levels and it’s really super fun. I love angry birds space!

Movie Blogs

Ok, Terry here, just wanted to give a plug for my three favorite movie blogs that i read.  It pretty easy to get wrapped up with the nonsense that is the internet, especially with the information overload that happens every day.  Instead of tracking the news paper, or seeking out other websites I use the AV Club, /Film and Bloody-Disgusting to keep me up to date on movies.  Slashfilm is great for everything involving movies, it has trailers, teasers, casting news, and interesting tid bits of information on upcoming films.  The website really gets me excited about upcoming films, and keeps me informed.  They also have weekly round ups on comic book movies and other semi nerdy things that keep me interested.
Bloody-Disgusting on the other hand is much more specific. The site is my go to for horror news and reviews.  Their database of films is wonderful, because pretty much if it was made, even if super low budget there will be some review on it.  Their year end reviews and previews are a wonderful way to get excited about movies you would not have heard about otherwise.

My third favorite website for news is the onions AV Club, based out of Chicago it is the place I go for reasonable reviews and discussion.  The news is always up to date, and unlike the other blogs gets their own indepth interviews with leading stars in the industry.  AV Club also reviews TV, music and books which is another reason it is one of my favorite websites on the internet.
