The Warriors


Summary

  The movie "The Warriors", is about the most powerful gang leader in all of New York City. Cyrus, The leader of the Gramercy Riffs, calls together all the gangs in new york to try and create a peace treaty. Cyrus ends up getting shot by a rival gang of the warriors. The rival gang then blames the murder on the Warriors. The Warriors then have to fight there way back to Coney Island (their "hood").

Main Characters

  Micheal Beck in the movie plays the character "Swan". Swan was picked up by the warriors in 1978 by Cleon and Vermin. He possesses strong leadership and fighting skills and later becomes the warlord, leader of the warriors.
  Ajax, played by James Remar, also join the gang in 1978. Ajax is named after the Greek hero, is extremely good with his fists and very strong, but not very smart.
  In the movie, Cleon is played by Dorsey Wright. Cleon is one of the founders of the Warriors. Prior to Swan, Cleon was the warlord.\
  Snow is played by Brian Tyler. Snow rarely speaks, but when he does he normally says something meaningful or wise.
  Cochise is played by David Harris. Cochise is a good fighter and joined the Warriors is 1978.
  Rembrant is played by Marcelino Sanchez. Rembrant is the youngest of all the warriors and is mainly brought along to only tag places the gang has been. He is named after the dutch painter.

Best Part

  In my opinion, the best part of the movie is when they fight the punks gang. They are the gang that roller skates everywhere. They fight is the subway station bathroom. At first is is only swan, but the rest of the gang shows up and signals to draw the punks into the bathroom where they then jump them.

Worst Part

  The worst part of the movie is probably fact that half the gang dies on the was to Conet Island, even though it adds more drama to the story, I feel like even though the made it to Coney Island, It still feels like they lost. 

Opinion

  For the opinion part of this review, I feel like the movie deserves a 9/10. All the fight scenes were very well done and the acting is mostly well done. I highly enjoyed this movie and is very well done for its time.

Garry's Mod


Summary


 Garry's Mod is a physics sandbox. Unlike regular games there aren't any predefined aims or goals. They give you the tools and leave you to play. You spawn objects and weld them together to create your own contraptions, whether that's a car, a rocket, a catapult or something that doesn't have a name yet, that's up to you. If you're not too great at construction, don't worry! You can place a variety of characters in silly positions. You can also download mods like death run, prop hunt, Trouble in terrorist town, murder, a doom remake, Doctor who and many more!

Best Part


In my opinion the best part of Garry's mod is Deathrun. In this gamemode you either play as a runner or an activator. The job of the runners is to avoid all the traps that the activator sets of. If you dodge all the traps you will end up at the end of the course. There you will have a choice of three maps where you will duel the activator. The activators job is very simple. They just have to set of the traps in attempt to kill all the runners.

Worst Part  


I think the worst part of garry's mod is just some of the people who play it. They are either super nice and friendly, or really annoying and childish. In Garry's mod there are two types of people. The mature, understanding and friendly ones, or the obnoxious six year olds who scream, cry, and get yelled at by not only the community, but also by their parents. Now, some of the squeakers can be very friendly and nice but the majority are absolute morons.

Opinion


For the opinion part of this review, I believe that this game is one of the best releases of its time. With the great graphics and the updated physics engine, I would give this game a 8/10. The only downsides of this game is sometimes you get matched up with a 9 year old from Russia who wont stop yelling and doesn't speak english so you cant tell him to be quiet. Another downside is small, but important to me. in games like deathrun, when you die, you have to wait for 5 minutes until everyone is dead. Then you also have the afk person who makes the game go on for another 5 minutes.
