VIDEO GAME: The Chroniles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
Remember the movies Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick? Well, Vin Diesel is back in the second addition to The Chronicles of Riddick video game series. This game is pretty intriguing. Though there is a variety of guns, the majority of the fighting is one-on-one combat. Riddick is also given the ability to interact with characters throughout the game.
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena picks up where Escape from Butcher Bay left off. The gamer still plays as Richard Riddick, a highly desired fugitive by many who has the advantage of the night. While in a deep-space sleep, Riddick's ship is captured by the Dark Athena, a merchant vessel. His companion, Johns, is taken on board. Riddick, with the use of his stealth tactics, must find a way off the ship before the automated drones find him first.
An interesting aspect of this game is that the gamer does not have to utilize a single gun throughout the game.The one-on-one combat is both effective and fun.Riddick uses a variety of combat tools, such as a club, a hairpin and the Ulaks.The spurts of blood caused by these tools are a nice, little extra.
Another appealing aspect is the ability of the gamer to interact with various characters throughout the game. Some prove to be absolutely useless but others provide
information vital to Riddick's success in the game.
Riddick does not disappoint. He's the same individual who puts fear in the eye of his enemies. The Chronicles of Riddick will make a run for the best science-fiction game on the market.

MOVIE: Earth
Disneynature, Disney's new branch, released its first film: Earth.
Earth is the story of three animal families trying to survive on our planet. Polar bears' blue whales' and elephants' stories grace the screen in this most natural of dramas.
Think the BBC's Planet Earth series on the big screen, with the booming voice of James Earl Jones telling the story.
Jones is perfect for the task; his smooth and distinct voice makes the images all that more incredible. Who would you rather have explain the circle of life than Mufasa himself?
Strewn between the adventures of the three families are mini stories of several different animals. Just try to hold your jaw from hitting the floor when something as simple as duck flying lessons appear on screen.
Though the movie is from Disney, there are plenty of dramatic elements. Animals are pursued by predators, and yes, there are a couple of deaths. But the amazing resilience of nature is shown in all of its glory.
The movie takes you across the globe.Shots and scenes you never thought possible are shown in amazing clarity.This movie is almost
better than the zoo, and it will make you feel like a kid again.

MUSIC: Fork in the Road by Neil Young
At age 64, Canadian rock legend Neil Young has definitely still got it. His latest release, Fork in the Road, is a concept album about the energy crisis and the need for fuel-efficient cars.
The idea sounds a little strange, but in reality, the music is phenomenal. Deep, grungy and distorted guitar fills the album with classic Neil Young sound and leaves listeners with a familiar feeling similar to Young's classic tunes.
Young's vocals are perfect, too. The aging process hasn't affected the rock legend's expressive voice at all.The lyrics on the album are centered on the theme of fuel-efficiency Young incorporates classic blues rhythms and jam-oriented song structure that mesh the music and lyrics nicely. The album would be ideal for a road trip—possibly Young's hidden motive.
At one point,Young sings,"Just singing a song won't change the world," and urges listeners to take action. The progressive lyrics and strong liberal message don't come off too aggressively, and overall they are well written and insightful.
If you're looking for some classic Neil Young
