The Last House on The Left

I can't remember the last time a movie kept me on the edge of my seat. But I can certainly say that this one has done so. After the dismal, bleak, and unfortunate theatrical release of Watchmen it was a welcome surprise to see such an amazing movie. The cast of relative unknowns was top notch. The beginning of the movie played out with many normal horror/suspense cliché but the movie soon propelled past that and the second act was a revenge film that put Quentin Tarrantino and Eli Roth to shame. From the beginning of the movie, the characters made me feel for them, this movie was purely cinematic adrenaline. I felt ever scream, I felt the emotional and physical pain of all the characters. Though there were elements of torture porn laced throughout the second half it was done so effectively. I highly recommend that you guys go and see this movie. Much, much better than Watchmen.

Watchmen (My Review)

I'm confused by this movie. I don't wanna go out and say I hated the movie, but then I don' wanna say that I liked the movie. To me it was just OK. The cinematography was beautiful, it's how I pictured it reading the graphic novel panel by panel. The beginning (aside from the overtly brutal killing of The Comedian) was spectacular. I didn't really car for Nixon he seemed almost comical. But I loved the snapshots of Minutemen. That would have been appropriate for the Minutes to Midnight countdown, and even dare I say it the sex scenes. Speaking of which they weren't sexy at all. When I read the book after falling in love with the characters, I felt romance during the Dan/Laurie sex panels. But I felt disconnected from all the characters. I loved Jeffery Dean Morgan as The Commedian and I loved Rorschach, Jackie Earl Haley gets more and more amazing with each role he plays. For a more thorough review I need to see the Directors Cut after which I'll decide if I liked it or if I hated it.

I've Been Gone for a Year or So

I'm back... older, not necessarily wiser. Will Blog extensively.

Sweeney Todd

The Best Movie Of The Year...Tim Burton and Johnny Depp deliver, plus the supporting cast is awesome, Helena Bonham Carter, Timothy Spall, Alan Rickman, and even the brief appearance by Sasha Baron Cohen are all welcomed...Tim Burton has truely outdone himself...

A Year Older, and Not Much Wiser

Ok so I'm finally 21 and I feel the same...although I've been cutting things out of my life...I've discovered a kinship in the boozy alcoholic antics of Amy Winehouse, I think Back to Black is the best album of 2007...I'm listening to it from beginning to end and it's really good.

Today

I haven't posted in like forever...bu soon I'll get back into the swing of things...what really sucks is that I have the Los Angeles County Community Service Department...Also I hate Cal-Trans for not correctly logging my hours, more to come on this ASAP

Happy Guy Fawkes Day!!!

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up King and Parliament.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
A penny loaf to feed the Pope
A farthing o' cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down.
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar.
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head.
Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead.
Hip hip hoorah!
Hip hip hoorah hoorah!
