Sam I Am - Sam Newsome Quintet

Yes, I am said Sam I am

Advantages: Very thought provoking, feel good film
Disadvantages: Costs a fortune in tissues

means that Sam is arrested for speaking to a prostitute and has to spend the night away from Lucy. An interfering social worker decides to get involved when she realises that the mentally challenged prisoner has a child. After visiting his home on Lucys birthday, when one of Lucys very spoiled classmates claims that Sam attacks him, Lucy is taken into care by the social worker. The rest of the film is centered around Sams battle to get his daughter back. He does this with the help of an high powered attourney played by Michelle Pheiffer. She takes on his case 'Pro Bono' (free) to save face with her colleages. The film is VERY well acted. Sean Penn received an Oscar nomination for his part and in my opinion he should have won.

Review of I Am Sam (DVD)

'Serious Sam' I am!

Advantages: Awesome Gameplay, Full of humour, Cool weapons, Innotive level design.
Disadvantages: Felt a bit repetitive in places.

just feels slightly lacking and stiff playing the game. For example lit torches in a corridor are just animations, they don?t interact with the background. Enemies are colourful, although detail is not great. Some have similar animations and a lot look identical apart from their colour. They do have a tendency to 'feel' the same. By this I mean there is not enough variation in the way they attack you, ok you get shot at, spears thrown at you, bullets fired, it just feels too familiar. It would be nice if they had a bit more character instead of the game relying on Sam's to see you through. It?s not the worst looking game by any means and these are only personal gripes, what is lacking visually is more than made up for in the game play. There is nothing quite as satisfying than reducing your enemies in to sizable red chunks of meat ...
