Multiplayer Trailer for Call of Duty:Black Ops

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14349501/call-of-duty-treyarch-project/videos/cod_blackops_trl_multi_080910.html
This is looking really good so far! Treyarch is stepping their game up and the video shows for it. Here are a few new changes noticed from the trailer starting from the beginning.

1. Camera-Looks like it may be a killstreak reward that can target enemy movement as you see in the trailer where you can locate enemy forces and get the jump on them.
2. Crossbow-I'm going to love this weapon as will everyone else. The explosive arrows is sure to give some awesome kills and rewarding multi-player moments.
3. Knives-The video was going by too fast, but it looked like he shot a blade out of his knife and reloaded. And it looked like he had akimbo knives as well. I could be completely off but that's what I got from it.
4. Explosive Remote Controlled Car-If you ever played Frontline:Fuel of War you will love this killstreak. Basically you control a remote controlled car and detonate whenever you cross an enemy. And looks like you only need a 3 kill streak to get it.
5. Missiles-After the sniper gets a headshot while reloading he gets killed by an incoming missile. Question is, is it the predator missile or something that you can control while having an air strike.
6. Segment Saver-Finally we can save our best kills and show them off. I've been waiting for this since for a long time. Hopefully everyone can view other top kills with numerous players posting videos on youtube.

More information will be released on September 1st.

Month of September

September looks to be an interesting and a very good month for movies.

September 1st
"The American" Doesn't have as much action as I thought it would, but should still be a decent movie. George Clooney has been in many good movies the past couple of years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ywmoXZwkA0

September 3rd
"Machete" One of the biggest releases of the year is aiming to become an instant classic amongst viewers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8rslIZV85U

September 10
"Resident Evil: Afterlife" Personally I won't see this movie but looks like it will have some cool 3-D effects. Following should be decent with die-hard fans so we'll see what happens when it releases. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dc5iiT0f1s

"I'm Still Here" No trailer is out right now but the documentary on the career path change to rap music for actor Joaquin Phoenix has many wondering. Was the whole move a stunt for the documentary or was Phoenix actually wanting to try rap music. Many are guessing a stunt, but hopefully Phoenix decides try acting again, because he was one of the best when he left.

September 17
"The Town" This is the movie in September I'm looking forward to the most. From the same people that brought us "The Departed" and "Gone Baby Gone," "The Town" is another Boston area crime thriller. Movie has a great cast and could be one of the sleeper hits of the year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWxEKnf3Krk

September 24
"Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" The sequel to the 80's classic Wall Street, has the return of Gordon Gekko looking to restore his vast empire and wealth. Should have a decent showing at the Box Office. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS0PJSKJoxw

"Buried" I think this movie is going to become an instant classic. The premise is simple but it looks like a classic Hitchcock movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZVKDsOxCyU


Predictions

Instant Classics="Machete" and "Buried"

Personally Looking Forward Most To="The Town"

Most Overrated="Resident Evil: Afterlife"

Most Intriguing="I'm Still Here"

Prediction for the Future:Batman 3

All of us are very excited for the next installment of the Batman franchise but here are some predictions of what might come from Batman 3.

1. It will be the last Batman movie for Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan. Both are powerhouses in the movie business and like to expand beyond one franchise. I see Nolan and Bale putting everything on the line for this last installment for the two. Only question is who replaces Bale and Nolan if indeed Batman 3 is their last one.

2. Who plays the Riddler? For awhile now rumors have pointed that the Riddler will be the main villian in the next installment of Batman. Question is who will play the part of the Riddler? My guess would be Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who recently was in "Inception." Rumors have already flown around that he is the choice to play the Riddler, and I would have to agree. Levitt is a good actor and more than likely has proven to Nolan that he can hold his own with big name actors.

3. Hopefully there is no Robin or Dick Grayson. Many fans have expressed that Robin should not be near the new Batman movies and I'm on the same boat. I think if they bring in something like Robin or Grayson they should use Nightwing but just skip the whole training and sidekick plot-line and just use him as an outcast who competes or in some cases works against Batman.

Batman 3 won't be released for another couple of years so all the these predictions could be way off target, but all of us won't have to wait like for confirmation on what's going down for the third movie.
