images from the new TRANSFORMER REVENGE OF THE FALLEN trailer...

Watched the new trailer TWICE on the big screen yesterday. Cinerama provided a free screening of the first TRANSFORMERS movie and debuted the trailer before the movie and again after the movie. I can't lie, I was really really hoping for a bait and switch. It could have been TF2 but it wasn't. But at least I got to see Transformers one last time on the big screen. Anyway, again, the action in the trailer is fast paced and intense, so many quick cuts that you can't see everything they show you. Slashfilm.com provided some hi-res screen shots and I have provided some of my favorites...

GI JOE...new international trailer...

Wow oh wow...I don't know how they are doing it but the people who have been cutting trailers lately are doing an exceptional job...GI JOE is looking tons better than I would have thought. The first super bowl teaser showed promise but made the movie too small of an adventure movie. This new trailer makes it look more epic than a LOTR movie...yeah, I probably took that a little too far, but that's where my hope lies...

can

not

WAIT


but i have no choice....

PREDATORS...

...is coming. And it's directed PRODUCED by the very masterful (at least his R-rated works are) ROBERT ROGRIGUEZ. One can only hope it will correct the error of the last 2 predator outings...Anyway, that's enough on that subject. Just knowing Robert Rodriguez is helming makes me a happy camper.

*Red Cliff 2. If you watched the first Red Cliff you know that this is the second half to a fantastic epic story. Both are one in the same with each having it's own edifice of mood and tone. It's a must see for many of you.
*Killer Movie. Pretty much a run of the mill straight to dvd horror film. Good and Bad. It's about a reality television crew getting picked off, one by one. The big plus is that it stars Kaley Cuoco (Penny in Big Bang Theory).
*Watchmen. Great translation from the great graphic novel. All the action, sex, and violence gets ramped up a bit more for the big screen. Rorschach continues to be the best character in the story. What I highly dislike is the changed ending. It becomes less an alegory of 'what-if' and gets turned into a wantingly R-rated blockbuster. Overall, still a great movie.
*Fist of the North Star. 50% boring, 50% cool, 100% not as good as the anime movie of the same name. Dante Basco is unsurprisingly not a good fit in his role.
*The Messengers. Why is it that every time I see Kristen Stewart in a role, she acts exactly like the last role she was in, bored and stoned. What do film-makers see in her. Does she have the great connections everyone yearns for? Somebody give her some Red Bull so she can grow some wings.
*Feast 2: Sloppy Seconds. The title got the sloppy part down. It was very sloppy. The blood, gore, story, characters, narratives, focus, ending. All sloppy. The first Feast was a good monster movie. This adds more but isn't executed very well. Let's hope the 3rd Feast movie fixes things.
*The Unborn. After this movie and Cloverfield, I'm becoming a bigger fan of Odette Yustman. She does need to find bigger roles that do not involve running and screaming but she is easy on the eyes. As for THE UNBORN, it's a decent movie with great visual effects. David S. Goyer is still proving that he's a better writer than he is a director. Not a bad movie, but not great either. More than a few creepy scares are worth the wade through this average horror movie.
*I Love You, Man. Totes Magotes! Paul Rudd and Jason Segel make the perfect couple, for a buddy film. No they are not gay, but best buds that start off as if they knew each other in a past life. Lots of memorable quotables and a touching buddy comedy overall. This could possibly be on repeat viewing down the road. Now, on to the next movie while I am SLOPPIN' MA BAOSS!
*Death Race. Jason Stathem. You really need to stop doing movies just because they pay you. This could have been a decent film if it wasn't based on DEATH RACE 2000, a much more superior film this the wretched piece of sh*t. Please watch DEATH RACE 2000! Honestly, I think it's the best Sylvester Stallone movie of all time. Yes, better than Rocky and Rambo...Yes, you read me right. BETTER! David Carradine also stars. WATCH NOW...NOW!
*I Spit On Your Grave. Wow, what a disturbing revenge film. So disturbing that the revenge still doesn't make you feel good. Well, it relieves you by like 2% but this is still one fuc*ed up movie. Must see if you are into gut wrenching movies from the '70's. This movie also has ONE OF THE MOST GUT WRENCHING SCENES EVER! Trust me...you. will. cringe.
*The Good, The Bad, and The Weird. Korean western. yup. It is, seriously. It's a good action movie. I'm not into western movies at all but this is quite good.
*Monsters vs Aliens 3D. One of the better Dreamworks films. Plays the classic monsters homage angle pretty well. My only negative is that they focus on SUUUUuuuusaaan a little too much. Maybe they could have added 10 more minutes to focus on the other monsters a tad more. INSECTASAURUS and B.O.B. for the WIN!
*Ong Bak 2. Great action movie. Has all the pluses and minuses that any good action movie has. Watch it for the martial arts and not for the story. Tony Jaa movies are all good. I'd put this in between Tom Yum Goong (the best) and the first Ong Bak (great first feature film).

Bonus:

CRANK HIGH VOLTAGE

What can I say? I loved this movie. Just as good as the first one. So that's pretty much the best indicator to you if you want to see this movie or not.

Chev Chelios returns after 3 months from being scraped off the street after falling from a helicopter, and being an unwilling black market organ donor. His heart has been juiced up with so much CHINESE SHIT that it became invincible, so it was stolen and replaced with an artificial heart that apparently can be recharged with some form of electricity. The only reason why he finally gets up out of his bed of death is because they were about to take something from him that's just a tad more important than a heart.

From this point on chaos ensues. You get everything you ask for. Violence, blood, gore, boobs, carnage, full body tourets, cursing, sex, Amy Smart doing the dirty, Amy Smart being the dirty, porn star cameos, gta-like instances, giant rubber monsters, electricity, guns, and what's a good movie without a twist to make you go W T F? You'll enjoy plenty of wtf scenes throughout. There isn't a dull moment at all. If you ever hate watching supposedly fantastic movies that pretty much it's all about the culmination of one scene than you won't be disappointed. This movie plays like one long scene. No breaks, no letting up, no boring narratives.


Beside the usual stuff and fluff, the cinematography and soundtrack becomes elements that actually push the movie into a whole other level. They whole film is pretty much recorded with an HD-handicam but was post processed, so it feels much more real and less fantastical like movies normally are. The soundtracks sets the mood for each scene. Where you are supposed to be disgusted, you tend to smile. Where you are supposed to be confused, you feel calm like everythings going to be okay.

The only negative I can truly say is that with the first CRANK, I immediatly wanted another round of CRANK. It's one of those films I can watch over and over and still find nuances that keep me entertained throughout. Sometimes each sitting is a different type of experience. With HIGH VOLTAGE I feel very satisfied with the first serving and won't mind the gap until HIGH VOLTAGE's second serving. I don't feel the need to go back to the theaters anytime soon. But overall, it was a great experience.


I must warn you, there will be another. It ends differently for Chev but one can only hope that the madness will continue quite soon. If I had the money, I'd invest in the next film just to have more. You'll get the best experience in the theaters so watch it there if you can. If not, please watch it on a very big screen with huge ass speakers so loud that it will blow a womans clothes off.

Yeah, it's that type of movie!

this just in: "The heart surgery at the beginning is implausible"...

...I say, "NO! REALLY??!?!?!?!"


There is a Cardiologist who reviewed CRANK HIGH VOLTAGE based on the realism of it's scenes. I'm sure we all went to see the movie and expected it to be true, get a new heart, and be invincible like Chev Chelios. Am I right? Anyway, the article is a funny read if you like making fun of articles. I think this guy takes the movie a little too seriously. Next thing you know we'll be seeing a Veterinarian writing articles about how implausable talking animal movies are or commenting on the next dreamworks picture...

well, here's the article for your pleasure!

This film is unmitigated drivel with a few funny bits, though there is a tiny grain of truth to the story. Jason Statham plays a hitman called Chev Chelios, whose heart is stolen by gangsters and replaced with an artificial model. In order to stay alive, he has to keep recharging its battery with electricity.

Chelios's artificial heart is called an "Aviocor". There is a real artificial heart called the Abiocor that works on much the same principle. You walk around with a battery, and power is transferred to the machine through your skin. However, I sincerely doubt you would be able to power it by electrocuting yourself with tasers, car batteries and power lines, as Chelios does. You would be more likely to fry the electrics.

The heart surgery at the beginning is implausible in the extreme (although no more so than the rest of the film). For one thing, Chelios is conscious, and this isn't the kind of operation you can perform under local anaesthetic. There are some hygiene issues, too: the gangsters appear to be operating in someone's house, with ungowned, unmasked people wandering in and flicking cigarette ash into the wound.

Chev's heart is carried away in a cooler box after the operation, and eventually transplanted into mob boss David Carradine. They don't bother to tissue-type him - obviously this heart is some kind of super-organ.

Frankly, I wouldn't rate Chev's chances in the real world very highly. Artificial hearts are pretty poor, primitive devices. They supply enough cardiac output to keep you slowly plodding around, but they certainly don't allow for martial arts and sprinting. Overcharging them won't give you super-speed, either.

*Outlander. Vikings, Aliens/Dragons, Spaceships, Hellboy, Blood, Guts, Horror, Jesus Christ the savior!...what a great concept.
*RocknRolla. A return to form for Snatch and Lock, Stock director Guy Ritchie. Love the british gangsta dramas that stitch together somehow.
*The Day The Earth Stood Still. Yeah, didn't like it all too much. I dunno if it's the change in message, or Keanu, or that it just felt all flat. Even the disaster scenes just looked okay. Forgettable.
*Wicker Park. I remember seeing a trailer a while ago and if I remembered it right, the actual movie was totally different in tone and direction. Wonderful movie that kept my eyes glued throughout. Great date movie.
*Push. A lot of negative chatter but i effin' liked it. Your opinions won't sway me on this one. Yeah, it felt like an intro to a wanted franchise but it's entertaining enough and intriguing enough. They don't explain a lot but that's your problem if you don't have an imagination or do not want to discuss and instead complain. I liked it and will watch it again.
*JCVD. Kept reading about this movie via twitchfilm.net and I didn't know what the plot was. I thought it was completely different from how it turned out. Great way for mr. Van Damme to reinsert himself into great film. Wait, he never was in GREAT FILM, but this was a great film in it's own right. Too bad he turned down a part in THE EXPENDABLES. Your next movie will be shit, sir. Sorry, it's the truth.
*Deliver Us From Eva + Last Holiday + Fool's Gold - *no comment* (but i enjoyed them)
*Ichi the Killer. Haven't seen it yet? THEN COME THE FUCK OVER NOW...if you are my friend. Another movie you have to watch. IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT. really, though, it's not that bad. I'm sure you can handle something as tiny as a guy cutting off his own tongue close up with zero cut-a-ways! Seriously. Come over. A favorite of mine to rewatch. Besides the gore, there really is a great message. Too bad you'll probably be too distracted to uncover is all through the red on the screen.
*Fanboys. A film made for the fanboys, hence the name. Wonderful movie imo and surprisingly heartwarming. This film made it out of development hell and we'll probably won't know what they edited out or added. Kristen Bell alert!!!!!!! =)
*Role Models. Say WHISPERING EYE. 'Nuff said.
*Ip Man. Donnie Yen does it again. This is about the guy who eventually taught BRUCE LEE. Donnie Yen is the best martial artist nobody really talks about. You should also watch SPL (Killzone here stateside), Once Upon a Time in China 2, and Hero. He's also in Painted Skin, which is an interesting fable-type story.
*Punisher: War Zone. The best Punisher movie ever made. I'm not saying this is a good movie, no, far from it. But you don't watch Punisher for the story, you watch it to see some Punishing, and there are tons of Punishing going on. DIRECT SEQUEL PLEASE!
*Event Horizon. I remember when this movie used to SCARE THE FU*K OUT OF ME. Now, it's just memories. Maybe I'll rewatch it again with surround sound, see how that affects me senses. Hope I'm not too desensitized.

NBA PLAYOFFS...

Yeah, that's my prediction up below... Take it like it is. That's how it's gonna be (if my jedi mind tricks work on the tv). The only thing I REALLY REALLY wanted to do is have the Trail Blazers beat the Lakers. But I don't that will happen realistically (this year). Oh, are you looking at the final match up and think "that's not right. where's the Cavs. why are Celtics there and not the Cavs. this is all wrong?" Then you sir are just naive. There is SOOOOO much hype about the Cavs winning it all, at least in the East and Lakers winning it all, like they thought they were supposed to last year. A lot of Celtics haters out there. "But Celtics need Garnett to be good." See there '09 final record? 62-20...that's 4 games behind the Cavs, WITHOUT KEVIN GARNETT the last 20+ games...that's only 4 games less than they did last year WITH A VERY HEALTHY KEVIN GARNETT...that's only 10 games less than the best ever record set by the 95-96 Bulls. People are writing the Celts off a little too early, just like when they went 7 games in the first round to an 8 seed. Those Hawks are fierce. It's great to have a team win in 6 or 7 games. Not very fun if the team is sweeping everybody and then lose in the final few rounds. All I wanna say is, THE CELTS WILL WIN IT ALL...and if not them, I at least want either the Magic or Trailblazers take it all...I like the Lakers and the Cavs (no hate involved) but I don't want them to win this year. When do I want them to win? Maybe some other time.

Let me put a SMILE on your face...

BONUS FEATURE...

Here is another vid by the same creator.

real life MIRROR'S EDGE...

Yeah, there may be way better free running videos in the multiverse but this is a pretty homage to the Mirror's Edge game, which i so wantingly to still play but does not have the time yet. I'll probably pick it up in the bargain bin someday or other...

anyway, here's what the creator of the video said about what he did...

"First person view stunt and tricks, like in the game 'Mirror's Edge'. The camera isn't attach to anything. It was either in my right or left hand while I jump around."

Pretty cool. Wish I could do free running...or even Parkour...either would be so cool...sooooo cooooooool...then i probably wouldn't be home blogging up random blogs like i is now...



SPECIAL BONUS: (you should swing by and watch this sometime!)

CRANK HIGH VOLTAGE !! (updated with 2 xtra clips)

Everybody knew that I was really really excited for Watchmen and then it came and went. I wanted to watch it over again but knowing that the Extended Directors Cut is coming to dvd in about 3 months, I just couldn't. Now with CRANK HIGH VOLTAGE releasing tomorrow, I've been excited over this since the first CRANK movie came out a few years ago. I saw that movie 3 times in theaters and probably a dozen times on DVD itself. So, which movie was I more excited for, Watchmen or C:HV? You be the judge. You are reading this, right? Just yesterday, I watched CRANK again, but this time with the 'family-friendly audio' special feature is on. Yup, FAMILY-FRIENDLY AUDIO. I'd explain it but it's self-explanatory. Crank is probably the only dvd around with that special feature. You still get all the blood, sex, action, nudity, without the curse words. So, if you want to watch it with your kids, parents, whatever, it's safe to know that you can watch it without the naughty words. Even if you don't mind the naughty words, it's a pretty funny addition to an already over the top, can't take itself seriously movie. Here's one scene...

Chev - Doc?

Verona - What's up doc?
Chev - You freakin' Mutha Flugga
Verona - Oh why you ain't dead yet? What you freakin' doin out there
Chev - Coming for you Idiot. Freakin believe me.
Verona - Oh yeah whatever, I'll be waiting for you. You ain't gonna make it though mother freaker. Yo look I'd just thought I'd let you know that I'm all about hooking up with that misery (?) girl that you've been hoggin. Oh yeah, I knew about that stuff.

Yeah, sounds fun aye? I'd give more examples but it's much better seeing it for yourself. If you haven't seen Crank yet, we can do a special screening for you... Just ask!

So, Crank High Voltage. Seen the trailers yet? Seen the TV spot? Yes? Well, did you see the REDBAND trailer? No? Then lookout below. Anyway, yeah, CRANK HIGH VOLTAGE. Who could be mad that it's all about a guy who stays alive by coursing electricity through his body to keep his artificial heart from dying out. That's where the creativity begins! Who cares if it's implausible. Do you watch movies because it's a reflection of life? Well, maybe, but you didn't when you watch 95% of the best movies out there. You liked the first than it's more of the same but more, at the same time. Cast is fresh too. Jason Statham. Amy Smart. Bai Ling (lovely). DAVID CARRADINE (capital letters). Efren Ramirez (is back). Dwight Yoakam. Corey Haim (lol). Ron Jeremy. Jenna Haze. Ginger from the Spice Girls (seriously!). Amy Smart's butt cleavage. Amy Smart's sex scene. Amy Smart as a stripper. Yeah. Fantastic Cast...what cast is better than this? NOTHING...



Oh, and before this post ends, here is pic of the coolest swag from Emeral City Comicon that I will treasure! Yup, Crank Batteries. In case you need to shock yourself, here they are, just for you.



Let me know what you guys think. I'll (maybe) drop off a review of some kind. Cheers!

The Green Lantern is near...

Finally, a different DC movie that isn't Superman or Batman. Not that I'm complaining, it's just that there are so many different movie ideas in the DC universe that makes me think 'why not'. WB now has the balls to make any movie they want. They made Watchmen and that's proof enough. They let V for Vendetta get made too. Now, they have to find another pg-13 superhero blockbuster somewhere and they have. It's the Green Lantern, one of the most underrated superheroes ever! Me loves Green Lantern, except for their stupid weakness that thankfully they overcame. Green Lantern is set to shoot sometime in July in Australia for around $150 million. No cast has yet been confirmed but it's being directed by Martin Campbell, the guy who gave us the two best 007 movies ever (Goldeneye, Casino Royale). WB is fast becoming my favorite studio to look out for and I hope they keep on cranking out creative comic book and genre movies. I hope the next thing they do is Animal Man or do justice to Swamp Thing. Maybe they can finance a Hellblazer series? Or a Y: The Last Man trilogy (no, I don't think Shia Labouf and his director will be doing it). Oh, and I can't wait for Terminator: Salvation. I hope the trailer isn't better than the movie...

January tastings

so, my eyes and brain likes to feed on films, like, immensely. I can't get enough of the film world. I talk, read, eat, live films. I watch movies a little too much, and I wish I can get paid doing it, but it's still fantastic when I do it for free. To see how much movies I do watch I started to keep a log of movies I've watched. The rules I game myself are as follows...

• I have to watch least 92.43% of the movies entirety.
• Only movies count (durr!)
• I can watch the movie in separate sittings but will only be recorded on the day of finishing. You'll notice that some days I watch 3, four, or moar movies in a day, but some of those movies may have been finished after midnight. That's how it goes!
• I don't know if I made up more rules so that's it for now.

You may also notice that I watch a variety of movies. Some are good, some are awful, some are international, some are unknown, and some are plain, "WTF, why am i watching this?." Anyway, there may be trends, there may not be, but that's how the cookie crumbles. Now, on to the list...Oh, and i may do some mini-comments below on some of the movies that are worth the mini-comments. LOOK OUT BELOW!...

*The Wrestler. Was great. If you ever enjoyed wrestling, you'll find a deep appreciation in the film. And if you like Marisa Tomei, you'll like this movie even more...
*Bride Wars. Yeah, I chose to watch it on my own. I tried to cover it up by telling Yaz that she's using her movie coupon on it, but in reality, I wanted to see it. What can I say.
*Taken. Viewing number 3.
*Tokyo Gore Police. Title says it straight up so approach with caution. After Machine Girl I automatically hyped TGP a little too much for myself. Wish I didn't. Still, it's worthy to be a part of my collecton eventually.
*Choke. The spirit of the book was there and Sam Rockwell is always awesome, but the movie styling seemed to indie for what I loved about the book.
*Survive Style 5+. As this is one of my all-time favorite movies it is required viewing if you want to be my friend.
*Taken. Viewing number 4.
*My Bloody Valentine 3D. The 3D was supposed to be gimmicky but I found it not to be gimmicky enough. The twist was so uber obvious that I convinced myself otherwise. Never again. I'd rather be wrong instead of being right, change my mind, than end up being wrong.
*Midnight Meat Train. Ryuhei Kitamura (Versus, Azumi) gives his fresh touch to american horror, and that touch feels tingly, like spider-sense tingly. I thought it would provide a cliche'd horror twist and instead smacks you in the face with fresh meat. Enjoy if you are a fan of horror.
*Red Cliff pt1. This just in! (not really) JOHN WOO IS BACK, in a different yet very very entertaining way. One of the best HK epic films there is.
*Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I usually avoid 80's movies that are not sci-fi, fantasy or horror with a passionate passion that passion envies. But, i found this really enjoyable for some reason, and was my first time watching it. And no, this is not a gateway drug to other 80's movies of the same ilk. still banned: 16 candles and breakfast club and dirty dancing and ... .. .
*Quarantine. meh, i liked [rec] better but if i don't compare it to [rec] than it's a really good movie. but my mind doesn't work that way...

random facts:
favorite (new) movie of the month - Red Cliff
favorite (overall) movie of the month - Survive Style 5+
dud of the month - My Bloody Valentine 3D

so, apparently i love taking photos with some low-cost niche cameras such as the Lomo Fisheye 2 and the Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim (loves!). so, here is my contribution to the world of your eyes!

5 hour (pre)mature TREK...

Looks like we'll boldly go where tons of people are gonna go -> Star Trek, 5 hours earlier than expected...well, now (soon) it will be extremely and expectantly packed to the brim, yay for fanboys young and old. We'll be viewing Star Trek on MAY 7th, 2009 @ 7pm. YAAY... Yup, that's all...good day...


[ probably the coolest looking star trek baddie ever! eric bana is a meanie ]

THE EXPENDABLES first offical image(s) *updated*

So, this is THE movie i will be sure to keep track of every step of the way, and although i have very very very high expectations for it, if it does not surpass it, it will be a little disappointing...yeah, i hyped it all up for myself, all because of the cast (Jet Li, Jason Statham, Terry Crews, Stallone who is also directing). Well, here's the image, and it's Steve Austin and Eric Roberts jumping from fire, HOLDING HANDS...at least it looks like it...i'm pretty sure they're holding hands, which is perfectly fine...

Breaking Bad continues to amaze me...

If you haven't watched Breaking Bad you don't know what you are missing. So here's a few clips to help clue you in on what Breaking Bad is like.





Of course there is so much more to it than that. I'm telling you, you should watch it. Danny Trejo (Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn) is going to be in next Sunday's new episode can only add to the madness how nutso this show is. Love it...Love it long time!

ooh, a new party theme!!!!!!!!

so, here it goes...

Lately friends have been coming up with certain themes for parties and i love the trend. I hope it continues to the fullest extent. A Ninja party will be coming in the future as is the Ugly Clothes party. My idea is the 'BUY A FRIEND AN OUTFIT FOR UNDER $10' party...think of the possiblities...it can either be thrifty, like from the thrift store, or old looking, like your old clothes you don't wear anymore. It'll be clean so nobody will not be buying the other person undergarments or socks, people are really scared of friendly germs. I hope this plan comes to fruition. One day, some day, in the bright grey yonder i'll make this happen.
