BCG's Weekend Pick!


On the lineup for this weekend are sports, movies and games! This weekend's sports kick off with UFC 85: Bedlam, which the main event being Matt Hughes against Thiago Alves. The card isn't the most star studded line up we've seen but quality fighters like Bisping, Vera and Swick are fighting on the main card. Either chip in with some buddies for the pay per view or head over to Hooters and watch it for the cost of some wings. On Sunday is game 2 of the NBA finals with the Boston Celtics leading the L.A. Lakers 1-0 in the series. The game's free and is looks to be a better series than first thought, and it seems as though the Lakers won't be steamrolling anybody to their 15th title.


On the movies front are Kung Fu Panda and Don't Mess with the Zohan. Critics have been high on KFP and not so excited about Zohan but hey if you like Sandler than you know what to expect and should enjoy this also.


Finally we come to the games. Some pretty good releases this week, with Lego Indiana Jones, The Bourne Conspiracy and of coarse Ninja Gaiden II. You really can't go wrong with any of these titles. NG II is as bloody as a game can get, Bourne looks like a solid rent, and if you've never played any of the Lego games, don't over look this one because their kiddie appearance hides a really fun game.


This weekend is tough to pick, if I could I'd do it all but since I can't I'll make a pick. This weekend's pick is... the Movies! I picked sports and MMA last weekend and like I said this weekend's card isn't the strongest. The games are great but with none of them having online multiplayer and the rest of the months game releases are a bit weak, you can take your time with these. Plus who doesn't love funny animated animal movies, especially ones about kung fu!(Look I like Jack Black and I've been to the movies once since my son was born 5 months ago, so I could use a night out!) But honestly, you really can't go wrong with whatever you pick, so enjoy and thank me on Monday!

BCG's Weekend Pick!

The weekend is upon us, so what is there to do? Well as tempting as the Sex and The City movie is, this weekend is an all MMA weekend. On Saturday at 9pm est., CBS is having it's first nationally televised MMA event, "EliteXC presents Primetime". On the card is Robbie Lawler taking on Scott Smith, Gina Carano (of American Gladiators fame) taking on Kaitlin Young, and the main event, Kimbo Slice against James Thompson. While everyone is tuning in for the Kimbo Slice fight, the true talent comes in the form of the Lawler-Smith fight and has the potential to show what a true MMA fight is like.

Then on Sunday at 9pm est., Versus is airing WEC's Faber vs Pulver. For those who don't know, WEC is the UFC's smaller sister company. This show should far and above be the better of the two shows this weekend and it's a shame it won't get the coverage the CBS show will. The main event between current WEC featherweight champion and #1 ranked featherweight in the world, Urijah Faber and former UFC lightweight champion Jens Pulver should be nothing short of electric. For those who get Versus, (and this blogger does, thank God) should not miss out.

The best part of this weekend's events? They're free! So spend the money on some pizzas, a case of beer, invite the buddies over and enjoy. You can thank me on Monday!
