Rock n Rolla (blu-ray)

I'm not going to beat this up, my sister had a good review on her site. I really liked this, its safe to say if you liked Snatch, then you will probably like this. I still think Snatch is better, but I never once thought about when the movie will end.

Max Payne (blu-ray)

Another game gone movie and it happens to be a game, two part series, that I really enjoyed. I guess that would be why I feel obligated to buy the movie when it comes out. If you ever get a chance to play the game, do it before you watch the movie. The movie is an accelerated Max Payne 2. Max Paynes wife was killed in the first one, just like in the movie, but the second one is when he brought the entire thing down, that is where this movie ends. The cinemetography was good and of course my man crush on Mark Walhberg helps. It also features a short run of Olga Kurlenko, the sexy vixen who bared all in Hitman and is the latest Bond girl. She is also the love of my life and every reason I think I should order a Russian mail order bride. They didnt focus much on Payne's drug addiction in the beginning, but did show him using the Valkyre drug at the end, the one that makes you see demons and holuscinate. In the game Max is strung out and kills everyone, the movie fallows it loosely, but it does maintain the story line 100%. It is worth seeing, but I think a person who has played the game first, will enjoy it more.

A Lost Book

I finished reading, about a month ago, The Third Policeman. It was the book that hid the Darma Initiative tape, the one Desmond instructed Locke to watch. The book was awesome, it was so dizzying and mind fucking that it actualy makes you sick to read, lol, im not kidding. Did you ever get those weird dreams when your sick, well thats how this book was. I would say this book could very well explain the first two, possibly 3 seasons.

READ IT MOFO's

Blogs

Aside from my sisters blog "Mother Firefly's Faster Pusscats" , Jorge Garcia's (Hurley from Lost) blog, "Dispatches from the Island" is probably one of my favorite blogs. I don't get all snickery about actors, but I think this is proof that Jorge (Hurley) is just another regular person. I think hes like a big kid, like all of us. Its definitely worth a read. It has little to do with Lost, so don't expect any secrets.

Movies in Nebraska

Walled In
Why is it that Mischa Barton looks like a cute little girl down on a farm, but sounds like a 50yr old trucker? Even the kid in the movie asked if she was a "dike", thought we retired that word, but he did ask. I don't think it was scripted, it just came to mind and he ad-libbed. The movie wasn't that good, but I didn't feel like I wasted any time. Its about an architect who builds freaky buildings, someone murders 13 people inside them by burring them alive in the walls. Mischa works as an engineer who gets buildings ready for demolition and this place is her next job. There are some twists and turns, but nothing that makes you step back. Watch if on Sci-Fi one day, but I wouldnt rent it, like I did.

Sex Drive:
Its a comedy so not a lot to discuss without ruining it. Its pretty funny, had some decent out loud laughs. The part with the donut and dildo was the best. It seems like most "provocative" comedies are starting to blend together, hopefully we still get some standouts. Its worth the rent.

Let the Right One In:
This movie was awesome, you must see this. My sister also wrote a good review, go check it out here (Mother Firefly's Faster Pussycats) . I am not a fan of love stories, what I think is a love story, doesn't qualify for Friday night date movies. For instance, True Romance , I think this is a love story and its one of my favorites. I think Let the Right One In is a love story and now it is one of my favorites. Its not just a favorite because of the "love" aspect, the entire thing rocked. Directors who make movies that aren't meant to break box offices, always seem to use the coolest, subtle, screen shots. They have a way to make every scene brilliant, even if it has no meaning. Also there is something about a horror film done in the winter and there is even more of something about a vampire movie filmed in the dead of winter. There is something about the lack of ambient "happy" sounds that we have in the winter. You can experience this in the country areas of Michigan in the winter. I am sure that this is even more true in places that experience dead winters. When movies are done like this, they produce more of a intament moment for me, when its just me, the character and that's it. There wasnt one thing wrong with this film. My only thing would be to try the Swedish version and use subtitles, dont do the dubbed version, the voice overs are really bad. I looked around on imdb forums about the movie and there was talk of an alternate ending, but I couldnt find one. I was also worried that the forums would be flooded with people complaining about the brief nude scene. I am happy to report that there was only one post, I am sick of people nit picking and thinking they all know what is best for us. It's art, thats all.

LTROI Deleted Scenes, please watch the movie first..

Kings

Has anyone watched this yet, Its on NBC. The first episode was really really good. Its like a modern times biblical / medieval story. Very well done, the cast fits in awesome, the cinematography was good, nothing to complain about. I think its on Sundays, everyone should watch the first episode. It seems to be about two kings, one in what we would call the USA and the other in, again what we call, Canada, but it seems like the countries as we know it dont exist or never did.

Blu Ray

Not sure if this is nation wide, but the walmart here in loncoln had some awesome deals going on bluray. The now have movies for $10-15.00 regular price, not a sale. Movies like Terminator, ClockWork Orange, Black Hawk Down (which i got) and lots of other good movies. Its definatly worth checking out.

Hot off the shit press

The Haunting of Molly Hartley

This was probably the worst "scary" movie I have seen in a long time. You should probably just ignore this one, but I almost say watch it just to see how not to make a movie. I don't even know if this can be classified as scary, there was one scary face in the middle, besides that it just had scary noises, I'm not lying. There wasn't one monster, ghost, demon or gore scene in it. Just a bunch of girls in skirts whom never take their tops off, come on who makes a movie without nudity, at least give us something. Its 88 minutes of pure shit, there isnt one thing scary about this, not even the dramatic and twisty end produces so much as a scare. The movie ends on a high noted teenage rock song, it didn't make any fucking sense.
