Sorry I have been absent. Due to storms my Power Supply bit the dust. Ordered a new one from Newegg but THAT was defective. Sent it back and ordered another one which should be coming Monday or Tuesday. Computers can be super frustrating, but I can't complain. I built my system around 5-6 years ago and this was the first major problem I encountered. Hopefully it was just the power supply and nothing else. Taking out a motherboard is a pain in the freaking ass.

Anyways, this month has been expensive as far as replacing and paying for things. Luckily I get paid 3 times this month so it ain't all bad. I even had to replace my printer since it decided it no longer wanted to put ink on the pages (pretty sure the thing which goes back and forth got messed up) just so I could print the RMA crap to send the defective power supply back. However, I did recycle my old power supply and printer at Best Buy for Earth day, so you're welcome Earth.

Anywho, I've had a lot of things in mind to review but the recent turn of events have sucked the desire out of me. So stay tuned! Recently got 127 Hours in the mail via Netflix, so might watch that soon and post a review.

Also, totally leave a comment on suggestions on what to review. If I've seen it I can post a quick review, if I haven't seen it I might watch it.

Doubly also: If you're not watching Parks and Recreations you're dying inside. And if you don't think so, just watch this:

Since I saw the trailer for this movie, I was really interested. For some reason I really like Russel Crowe, and the plot actually was a rather interesting concept. The movie revolves around a man (Russell Crowe), his wife (Elizabeth Banks), and their son Luke. The premise of the story is that Crowe's wife suddenly is arrested and charged with murder of her co-worker. The evidence is not much but enough to convict her and send her to prison without much proof she was innocent. This leads to a kind of internal struggle in Crowe's character because he has to deal with his son not having a mother, as well as losing the love of his life.

This idea festers inside of Crowe's character, and the movie does an excellent job of showing each characters emotions due to the event. Eventually Crowe becomes engulfed with the notion that his wife was innocent, and starts researching ways of breaking her out of prison.

Now the movies does a good job with this. Crowe's character is only a teacher in community college, so he's decently intellectual but as far as knowledge of prison breaks and their associated strategies, he hasn't the slightest of clues. So the movie begins to show his acquisition of information, mostly starting with him consulting a local legend who escaped prison 7 times. After this, Crowe's character starts taking photographs of the surrounding buildings, keeping journals of information from when he visits his wife in prison, trying to look and find the one key to her escape.

In his journey, the movie does an excellent job of keeping the character grounded as he's not some teacher with an ex-military background who graduated top in his class who can kill a man with one hand and shoot with pin point accuracy. So of course Crowe makes some mistakes, which in turn hints the police force that something is up.

When Crowe's character is ready and the breakout begins, I couldn't help but to be on the edge of the seat watching how it all unfolds and seeing whether he was going to be caught or not. Again, the movie does an excellent job of keeping the characters grounded while Crowe and his wife make some very daring escape moves but nothing like an over-the-top Bruce Willis movie. This portion of the movie lasted surprisingly long but was very satisfying.

All in all, I was rather surprised at this movie. I think it had an interesting plot and excellent story, and it was a story that was believable and did not cross the line over into "that's crazy so it could never happen." I mean, what would you do if your wife was locked away for prison for the rest of her life? This is the struggle Crowe's character faces on and off and what eventually leads him to give up everything, and try to pave a new life for his family.

I watched this movie tonight because I was really interested seeing it with all the Oscar hype, plus I love boxing. However, my disapproval of Christian Bale was one thing that left me concerned (since John Connor and Batman could be the same character since they had the same freaking voice). I think Bale did a good job though playing Wahlberg's crack-addicted brother, but a best supporting actor win? Not THAT good. Maaaaybe towards the end of the film he starts to shine, but overall.. nah.

Anywho, this film details the life of the come-from-nowhere fighter Micky Ward. It's a classic tale of a fighter with a crazy family that fences his life in to a small, rural town of America and use him for their benefit.

Wahlberg, to me, is one of those actors who floats in mediocrity. He hasn't been REAL bad (minus The Happening, which we all know M. Knight Shamylan is the worst director ever, and therefore he really isn't to blame), but he doesn't really surprise you with a knock-it-out-of-the-park performances.

The beginning of the movie really takes a back seat to laying the groundwork of the story, which the movies does a nice job of. However, I was eager to see the fight scenes. Unfortunately, if you want to watch a movie with excellent boxing scenes, this movie is not what you're looking for. The beginning of Micky's rise to fame in the boxing sense is short, and done in a quick set of montage sequences. So sadly, I was quite disappointed. They even skipped major portion of his last major fight.

All in all, this was an OK movie. Nothing spectacular, but nothing too redeeming. I'd say worth a rent, but other than that, leave this one on the shelves.

Alec Baldwin: '30 Rock' is ending… or not – The Marquee Blog - CNN.com Blogs

After refusing to budge on watching 30 Rock for 2 seasons, I finally gave into my unnatural love for Tina Fey and watched. I was absolutely enthralled. I love this show and eagerly await new episodes of its smart, awkward comedy and amazing synergy of wacky characters. It would deeply sadden me if next year was the last, but as they say, all good things must come to an end (RIP Scrubs). Oh wait, except the Simpsons. That show will keep going until I'm 40.. which I'm perfectly OK with. I mean given the craptastic line of animated shows Fox keeps putting out (Cleveland Show, Bob's Burgers), The Simpsons is the concrete keeping it all together. And let's be honest, Family Guy died awhile back but The Simpsons keeps me coming back.

Truer words never spoken.. or printed from a large machine.

To see where I'm coming from with this blog, the movie to the left is my favorite movie of all time, ever, in the universe. I've seen this movie more times than I can count, which I stop counting around 20.


Now for my personality, I am a helpless romantic male. I'm also smitten by an amazingly eccentric story that's slightly out of proportion but still relative that contains witty humor and satire. I'm also 100% for the whole "awkward guy has crummy/mundane life, meets beautiful girl, falls in love, can't get said girl, changes life, things to start to go his way, gets girl, profit." 


Now of course in this movie, that's how it plays out but getting there is one of the most enjoyable rides I've ever encountered. That and Maggie Gyllenhaal is smoking hot in this film.


I know this is not a film for everyone, and when people see Will Ferrell they think Stepbrothers or Ricky Bobby 
or Anchorman, but this is a role Will Ferrell, and I think ONLY Will Ferrell could have pulled off. He plays the
character exactly as it should have been. His lines are delivered with a kind of innocent courage and especially
delightful during his flirting with Maggie's character, who is hell bent on making his life not so easy. In a nutshell,
it's tattooed/hippy baker who doesn't want to pay taxes due to not wanting to fund government wars/bailouts vs.
IRS agent who must audit her for this reason.


There's so many good scenes in this movie, and they all combine to form one of the best stories I have seen in 
cinema to this day. It might make you think differently about life, and that each of our lives in a story being told 
at this very moment. The question is, how will you be remembered?

Green Lantern Wondercon Footage

Holy. Balls. I just came a little.

I've spread this to anyone and everyone I can get a hold of.

Turquoise Jeep represent!

This is a film I don't hear brought up enough. This is another Scorsese masterpiece, and the art direction makes it so unique, you easily get lost in the film. And boy, does this movie have everything. Epic plot, great cast, great development, great action, and Cameron Diaz before she got a little weird. Day-Lewis and DiCaprio give AMAZING performances. Trust me, this is a movie well worth watching again and again.

Ok first thing's first.

This movie is EASILY in the top 3 WORST films of all time. At least that I've seen. And I've seen some bad films. Here's why:

The plot is pretty decent at first but then gets shredded to shit. Basically the two main characters (Brody and Polley) are scientists in a relationship attempting to build organisms that can provide medical benefits. They create these two blob looking things but the characters go even further and create a 3rd using different methods, hince the creature seen in the picture is born (Dren). So they

basically hide her until Brody's brother finds out, and the two previous creatures spawned turn violent against each other at a public revealing. So they take Dren back to a barn to keep her. Throughout the movie she's growing and pretty much acts like a pet. When bad they scold her, they reward her when she does stuff right. But after the initial part of the movie, it gets boring. Real boring. The development of Dren is badly paced as well as events that occur outside and within Brody and Polley's relationship.

Then this is where it gets bad. Dren gets jealous of Polley's character and Brody somehow finds Dren attractive and starts bumpin her in the barn, then Polley's character walks in. Awkward and terrible dialogue ensues and somehow Polley's character forgives him. Then Dren goes all ape-shit, grows wings or something, and escapes. At this point the director of their research office knows and comes to the barn saying "Wtf is up, let me see this crap." That's when Dren kills him and then proceeds to isolate Polley's character and at this point, it's hinted the creatures can change form. The previous creatures were male and female and hince they got along, but the female turned into a male and male vs. male caused the stuff to go down. So apparently now Dren is a male and proceeds to pretty much rape Polley's character. I think Brody manages to kill her, and then the movie ends with her discussing with some chick at the company some tests and it shows her with a pregnant stomach. The End.

Absolutely terrible. Stay away from this poor excuse of a movie, there's what happens, trust me. Bad.

Best show no-one seemed to watch. Seriously, look it up. Was on HBO and I believe it got cancelled. Basically about a dude named Tim and his awkward adventures in life, with his girlfriend Amy, and his job.

Eh this movie was all right. Liam Neeson is pretty much amazing in whatever he plays. Justin Long's and Ricci's characters were pretty shallow and weren't developed well but it was mostly about Neeson's character in retrospective. Anyways, I'm pretty sure Christinia Ricci's agent is like "Um, if you want any jobs in film you pretty much have to be naked for long periods of time in the movie."

This I'm ok with.

Old Boy

This movie sucked.
