Luis Acoltzi | January 7, 2010

So my brother and I got the PS3 Slim for "Día de Reyes" (Mexican tradition) with Uncharted 2, been playing it all day long. Awesome game and great console. Add me over on PSN as LuisAcoltzi. :)

Review: Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Luis Acoltzi | January 5, 2010

Tonight I went to the movies to see Sherlock Holmes, directed by Guy Ritchie and with Robert Downey Jr. (yes, IronMan!) as Sherlock Holmes. The movie goes on pretty well from the first sequence, where we get pretty much of what the plot will be about. Acting is pretty well done by both Sherlock and Watson, still, some scenes from the other characters don’t look as well. As for the visuals, I can tell camera direction was great, giving London that “dark” look making a mysterious effect for the scenes where needed, music is pretty well done too.

The movie’s pretty good, the plot goes kinda fast, but still it didn’t get me as other movies like that. There are a couple parts that become way too obvious and predictable.

I like it, but still, i don’t consider it a must.

No. 4: Sherlock Holmes

Today I went to see Sherlock Holmes, it’s not like the best movie ever, direction was good but I thought it was going to be better. Review coming up. :)

Working on the site

Luis Acoltzi |

Sooo… I need to work on the site. Apparently the new update to WordPress left my theme a little bit weird (weird as in… “Where’s my f*** sidebar!?!?”) and I also need to begin writing my “About” page, as I’ve been noticing it’s being pretty visited as of now. I’m also working on a portfolio page, so people can see my design work and I’ll also be posting a little more about it on the blog. I’ve also noticed people don’t comment a lot around here, so should I add the facebook thing again? I don’t know. If you come by feel free to leave comments… just anywhere.

I’ll try to work on the site this week, I’m still into the 365 project (pic #3 coming up). I’ll probably change the theme to a better one (not making one by myself, but I’ll alter one to look the way I want it to) and I’ll write the other 2 pages.

I <3 Super Mario Galaxy

I just found this really cool trailer (fanmade, of course) of Super Mario Galaxy. Maybe it’s been some time since it was released, but isn’t awesome? (may make hardcore gamers cry a little). Good Mario times.

So today I had to pay all my cards and everything went ok… Except for the fact I got no cash now lol. A couple weeks and everything will go back to normal. :)

New Year and Resolutions

Luis Acoltzi | January 1, 2010

First of all HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I hope 2010 will be a year full of achievements and personal goals for all of you. Not saying goodbye to last year, it was a great year with many projects (some worked out… some just didn’t), but you know what they say: “Fail, but fail fast”. School was over since like 3 weeks ago so I’m getting ready for the next semester (which, again, I’m totally excited about). I hope all of you had great holidays with friends/family/whoever you spent them with.

So it’s New Year, 2010, and since I’ve decided this will be MY YEAR, I’ve made a list of resolutions so I can kind of accomplish everything I want to do for this year.

  • Be cleaner: My workspace is always a huge mess
  • Read more: I’m kind of used to reading a lot, still, I didn’t read as much during 2009.
  • Give myself some time when needed: 2009 was full of stuff to do and not really a lot of time for me… which I really needed sometimes.
  • Leave projects with no chances of succeeding, start some new ones
  • Exercising (or at least doing some Wii Fit lol)
  • Focus on my projects and anything that may come
  • Be good at school
  • Blog EVERYDAY
  • Begin with my 365 Project on Flickr
  • Having fun all year long

So that’s what I want to accomplish for this year. I’m hoping it’s going to be a good year. It’s hopefully going ot be MY YEAR… and I’m updating the blog everyday (hopefully). Everyone have a wonderful new year. Best wishes.
