News Update Wed Aug. 26, 2009

News update! Yay! You all have been waiting to read something on here for a while. So, the new Slim PS3 came out the other day, priced at $299.99 which probably means that Nintendo should lower their price of the Wii otherwise sales are going to go downhill from here on out. I mean 300 bucks for a 120 GB PS3 is a steal. Also, Evangelion 1.0 is having a screening in Texas and Washington D.C. and of course we missed it. Damn! The DVD will be out in November from Funimation. Oh and Dissidia Final Fantasy came out! I already have my grubby little paws on it. Well thats it really for the news update. Anyways come check our reviews (we might have it done) for the three new horror movies coming out this Friday.

Fresh Snowboard Gear

So I know we talked a little snowboard action before and I mentioned the only brand that we care about is Burton...well thats not 100% accurate. We also love Analog Clothing. If you want to get technical we love all the brands under the Burton umbrella. Analog is owned and was started by Burton awhile back and they make outerwear, boardshorts, and streetwear that emphsizes style a little more than most brands. They also represent the big three boardsports; snowbaording, skateboarding, and surfing. Well its that time of year and the new snowboard gear is up on their website. Get it while it lasts because most of it is somewhat limited and goes quick. I'm partial to the Gamma jacket in light blue and the Airlock down jacket in any of the colors really. Check it out and tell us what you think and go see Inglourious Basterds for cryin' out loud.

Movie Review

Review: Inglourious Basterds
Rating: R
Genre: War
Running Time: 149 Mins.
Studio: A Band Apart/ Zehnte Babelsberg/ The Weinstein Company/ Universal
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Review Rating: 10/10

So we caught the new Quentin Tarantino flick Inglourious Basterds and I don't even know what to say. I had some concerns about this movie though. I actually thought it might not be as good as his other works because I felt like the previews made for the movie didn't really give you a sense what the movie was even about. Boy was I wrong. This movie is AMAZING. Tarantino has set himself apart as one of the best filmakers of all time. Every aspect of this movie shines. The acting is some of the best I have seen in awhile. Brad Pitt and Christoph Waltz are just ridiculously talented. And like with most of Tarantion's film's the dialoge is second to none. The plot is also much easier to follow than say Jackie Brown or Pulp Fiction. If you only see one movie this year, make it this one. Just mind blowing.

Anime On Blu-Ray A Big Hit In Japan

On Monday, GFK Marketing Services reported that Japanese Animation is still responsible for over 50% of the money spent on Blu-Ray Discs in Japan. The survey also states that the Blu-Ray Disc has been able to maintain a stable growth in sales, and has reached 8.4 Billion Yen (about $89 Million USD) on 1.37 million Blu-Ray Discs during the six-month period. While we are on the topic, DVD sales have dropped 15%, sadly the Blu-Ray Disc was not able to recover for all of the DVD sale losses, but still goes to show that Anime and Blu-Ray still rain supreme in Japan. Long live Blu-Ray and Anime!

Winter is Upon Us... Well Sort Of

So Winter is here... yeah I know it's still August but it's still okay to be excited, I know that we are. So we love snowboarding and the only brand that we even bother with is Burton. Say what you want, but it still won't change the fact that they are still independently owned and still put out the best products. Every year around this time the website changes and all the new stuff goes up. It has happened. We are pumped. There is also a stand alone catalog that Burton puts out but I don't think it is out yet. It's not Fall/Winter for us unless we have a Burton catalog to memorize. It's just one of those things. We look forward to it every year. Check out all the great stuff they have. Let us know what you like. I freakin' love it.

Shoe Game

So I decided to flex our love for sneakers a little. Last week I got the new Nike Penny 1/2 Cent shoes. If you don't know this shoe is a fusion shoe of all of the Penny Hardaway shoes that Nike released many moons ago. So I have to start by saying that the Foamposite One and Foamposite Pro are my favorite Nike's ever so I had high hopes for this shoe. I got the black/silver pair because I missed the blue ones and now they cost twice the original price. Man, I love resellers (notice heavy sarcasm). To get to the freakin' point; the shoe is great. It's comfortable and well made. If you can swallow the $190 price tag, I say get them. They are currently my favorite shoes right now.

-Giddy Up.

Video Game Review

Review: Trash Panic
Rating: E
Developer: SCEJ (Japan Studio)
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Platform(s): PlayStation 3
Trophy/Achievement Enabled: Yes
Aspect Ratio: 720p (PlayStation 3)

A new action puzzle game is born, and is ready to fill up your time with all sorts of fun compiled into such a simple idea and message. Become Eco-friendly. It's that simple - destroy trash in a trashcan and make sure none of it hits the ground. With four different modes to play, Mission Mode, Versus Mode, Main Mode, and Unlimited Mode. The game is quite short but will keep you going for hours on end. The game also has its own built in video recorder, so you can record the game and post it directly to You Tube. The cons, sometimes the game can get frustrating especially in Versus Mode. For $4.99 and countless hours of fun we give this game an 9/10.

Awesome Retailer

If anyone was curious, we are based out of the Washington DC area and if you are looking for a great place to buy new and used video games there is no place better than Starland. This isn't some shameless plug either (trust me I wish it was) I grew up in Annandale, VA and have been going to Starland since I was a kid. They have so much stuff: import games, trade-ins, anime figures, I mean everything, hard to find games and they don't put crappy stickers all over everything like those bullies at Gamestop do. And if you don't live in the area don't fret, check them out online. I buy everything from them.

Drift This

So here at Nerv Revolution we are fans of pretty much everything. We like video games, anime, movies, all kinds of music (except country; it sucks), sneakers, drift racing, skateboarding, snowboarding, sports, I mean freakin' everything. And all of our hobbies are pretty expensive - it kind of sucks. But anyway, I saw this picture of a S13 (Nissan Silvia for those who don't know) with Gramlights 57s-Pro wheels and Project Mu big brake kit and thought it looked ridiculously amazing. This is how it should be done.

Movie Review

Review: Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
Rating: G
Genre: Animated
Running Time: 100 mins.
Studio: Ghibli, The Kennedy/Marshall Company, Walt Disney Pictures
Director: Hayao Miyazaki
Review Rating: 8/10

So we went to see the new Miyazaki movie today and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. Ponyo is definitely aimed at a younger audience than, say, Princess Mononoke (which is my favorite), but it's still a great film. I was worried that as Miyazaki gets older his stories tend to get a little more strange and confusing, but Ponyo is simple and a very pleasurable experience. I mean, if you liked his movies in the past you will enjoy this one. We give it an 8/10.

Movie Review

Review: District 9
Rating: R
Genre: Science Fiction
Running Time: 112 min.
Studio: WingNut Films, QED International, Key Creatives, Wintergreen Productions, TriStar
Director: Neill Blomkamp
Review Rating: 10/10

First off, this movie is one of the best movies this year. It will keep you guessing throughout the entire film. Since there aren't big time actors in this science fiction awesomeness, it makes it seem more realistic than it actually is. Bottom line: you HAVE to see this movie. We give it a perfect, 10/10.

Movie Review

Review: The Goods Live Hard Sell Hard
Rating: R
Genre: Stupid Comedy
Running Time: 90 min.
Studio: Gary Sanchez Productions/Paramount Vantage
Director: Neal Brennan
Review Rating: 8/10
If you do not like stupid comedies: 2/10

The Goods was an extremely hilarious stupid comedy starring Jeremy Piven, and it really does give you the goods. From beginning to end you will laugh your ass off. The cons to the movie are the random moments where it gets serious. It was kind of an unexpected turn to the movie, but never the less we loved this movie. If you do not like stupid comedies then you will hate this movie and should probably avoid it. To close, with the random star appearances and funny quotes that will stick with you we give this movie a, 8/10.

It's Up and Running!

We have officially launched the blog and it is ready to go and supply the masses with everything they want to know. We are about to go see The Goods: Live Hard Sell Hard and that will be our first review! Be sure to check it out then. See you then.
