Playtech Press Release
I have just recieved an interesting press released from Playtech (as in Playtech Casino software), that states they have signed a four year exclusive licensing agreement with Paramount Entertainment to be able to use the Paramount Movie brands in their games. This will no doubt mean that we will see a number of big brand name's popping up Playtech slots at casinos such as City Club Casino and Tropez Casino over the coming months and year.
For any of you interested in the detail I have posted a copy of the press release I recieved below.

Hancock Movie review
We went along to the movies again last night (this time to the Odeon which is at The Point in Milton Keynes). the movie we watched was Hancock, if you haven't already watched it or don't want to know anything about it stop reading now, although I will not reviele the whole story.
I have always thought Will Smith is a great actor, and I read an interview with him once and he seems to have a really good philosophy of life. I have never seen a movie that he has been in and not enjoyed it (I thought he was particularly good as Mohammed Ali in Ali). As I expected Will Smith was excellent as Hancock the Alcohol drinking / druken super hero, who is the centre of the movie. The story line is about how Hancock saves a PR man and how that PR man then decides to help Hancock by improving his public image as people hate him.
Charlize Theron plays Mary Embrey who is the PR mans wife in the movie, Charlize Theron is another good actress and although I know alot of guys always say how sexy she is I have never really seen the appeal, but in this movie I thought she looked great and played the part very well indeed. My Favourite movie starring Charlize Theron prior to watching this was Aeon Flux which is a great 'future' based sci fi film.
I guess I should give you a little information about a super hero slots game, sadly I dont know of a Superman slots game so will just have to refer you to any of a number of Marvel Slots Games.

New Incredible Hulk Movie review
Lara and I had another night at the movies last night where we watched The Incredible Hulk Movie, after watching the Iron man movie I had high hopes for this film. Lara did not, expect so much, her comments where, 'it was pretty much what I expected'. I think if you just want to take your brain out for the evening and be entertained then this film will do that, there is a lot of action and chasing but not really the strongest story line in the world.
Liv Tyler and Edward Norton both did a good enough job, but nothing as out standing as in the Iron Man film. I thought it was a really nice touch that Lou Ferrigno (who played the Hulk in the original series & movie) was in this film. But I was not so impressed to see Tony Stark (yup from Iron Man) in the movie. I also did not like the way the movie was finished, because well really it wasn't, at the end of the film there are 3 potential Hulk like creatures, one the 'mad scientist bloke' who after seeing that he might be turning we are then not shown any more of him, the other is the crazy mutant hulk thing, and then of course there is the 'good' Hulk.
Anyway I will stop going on about it now here is a picture of the original Hulk (Lou Ferrigno painted green).
I guess I really should mention that there are 3 online hulk slots games, they are The Hulk Slots Game, The Hulk Fruit Machine and the latest one is Hulk Ultimate Revenge all are powered by cryptologic software and can be played at casinos such as Intercasino.
