  1. Frozen River: 6 out of 10 - A pretty interesting story and good acting by everyone. A bit slow paced for my tastes but it works for a movie like this.

    Death Race: 7 out of 10 - I'm a sucker for Jason Statham movies and I'm not ashamed to admit it. When this first came out, I thought for sure that it was going to be terrible. I was surprised then and still am now. I mean, the plot is simple enough, there is some great action sequences, the auto violence is pretty fantastic and Statham is great. Tyrese Gibson's character is one of the only problems in my opinion. His change from foe to friend was way too quick and sticking around afterward to become best friends in Mexico just seems dumb. Other than that, some pretty good mindless entertainment right here.

    I actually was going to watch Marley & Me a couple days ago, but when I heard that he dies I just couldn't and deleted it. Too sad for me, I love dogs and the previews reminded me of my own. I don't want to watch my dog die. :(

  2. I've had it on my computer for a couple weeks now but I haven't gotten around to giving it a listen. Might be able to sometime this weekend though, I liked the first two albums so I'm hoping for the best but with the shitty reviews I've heard I'm not expecting too much.

  3. Cloverfield = 6.5 out of 10 - I'm usually not a fan of the shaky cam or monster movies, but this was done pretty well. There was a reason for the hand held camera and the creature (which looked kinda lame to be honest) only appearing for seconds made the buildup to its reveal even better. I'm kinda bummed out they offed all the main characters (or not, everything pretty much was off screen) but with a movie like this, you don't need the same actors for sequels, in fact it may be better to switch it up, tell different stories about what happened and such.

    Anyways, decent movie, shaky cam is a bit much at times but overall it works and actors did a good job of not really making me hate them. If you have some time to kill, its worth it.

    Wristcutters: A Love Story = 8.5 out of 10 - A really cute, interesting and fun movie about suicide! Really, it's something that is definitely worth watching, a fun movie with characters that you really get invested in and care about.

  4. City of Ember = 6.5 out of 10 - I like post apocalyptic stuff, and although this never actually came out and said what happened, its an interesting movie and has some fun stuff to it. Nothing earth shattering, but a good movie with likable main characters.

    Crank 2: High Voltage = 7 out of 10 - You know pretty much what you're getting when you see a Jason Statham movie. I don't think I've ever seen a terrible movie by him and everything has been worth watching but don't expect something dramatic and a plot that will blow you away. The original Crank was better, but this definitely had fun moments and I look forward to how ridiculous they go on the next movie.

  5. I went to gamestop today to pick up Call of Duty 4 again and saw that they were doing a buy 2 get one free promotion. Bought COD4, Dead Space and couldn't figure out what to get for the free one. I went with Far Cry 2, but was thinking about picking up Oblivion. I've got a week to return it if I didn't like it. Is there something else I should check out? I mostly play shooters but I think I'd like something a bit different to switch it up.

  6. This is like an orgy of 80's action stars. I'm really disappointed in JCVD in turning down the role, it would have been the icing on the cake. I wish Schwarzanegger could play a larger role though, imagine a movie with Arnold, JCVD, Stalone and Dolph Lundgren marching around and blowing everything to hell? I did for a moment and immediately came.

  7. Wow, that was fucking terrible. I was getting worried at the beginning, but that guys screaming is terrible and he just absolutely pinned the song down and violated it. I always get confused on these things though, we're voting on who is worse correct? There wasn't any group dancing sequences (although I saw the run in place for a quick second), which hurt their chances. I'm going to say that Brokencyde is a worse band overall, their video is like the perfect storm of awful.

    If I had to discribe this particular video in two words though, I'm fairly certain that Musical Abortion would be what I'd use. I'd like to see a contender try to match up with Attack!Attack!'s dance moves though.

    RUN IN PLACE! RUN IN PLACE! RUN IN PLACE!

  8. It just pisses me off to no end when they sit on your face and pound on you and even though you counter it, they ALWAYS block or ALWAYS transition back.

    Yes, oh god yes. I had spend a couple rounds getting sat on, with Sherk going from half guard to full mount and just sitting there throwing punches. It would happen as soon as the bell rang, I'd come out, throw a punch or kick and he'd immediately go and take me down. Ugh, such garbage. I don't mind going on the ground, but it's ridiculous when that's all the opponent does.

  9. Little Brother is a real good starting point. Individually, Phonte is in a group called Foreign Exchange that is more laid back than what you'd like, but it pretty good stuff nonetheless. Big Pooh is a straight up rapper, and good stuff as well.

    Other people to check out would be Atmosphere, Royce Da 5'9'' and Los. Royce's super group Slaughterhouse might be pretty good too. Los is an absolute beast on the mic and Royce's mixtapes are absolute fire. I nearly passed out after listening to The Bar Exam II.

  10. Public Enemies - 8 out of 10

    Best summer movie I've seen so far but it had a couple flaws. The only characters I could tell apart were Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pervis. Everyone else just kinda blended together. The whole Dillinger saga is a really fascinating topic but I don't know enough to really go into it to much here. From what I know though, the FBI and Pervis were inept and pretty much were getting made fools of by Dillinger. The movie really didn't delve into that, which is unfortunate.

    Into the Wild - 9.5 out of 10

    I really can't describe why I like this movie so much, its one of those things that just kinda talked to me. I've always thought of myself as someone that doesn't care about money or material objects but I don't think I'd ever be able to go to the lengths that were done here. Fantastic movie and story with a really unfortunate ending.

    Taken - 8.5 out of 10

    Liam Neeson kills, maims, severely injures and pistol whips his way through a boatload of Albanians, with some french people sprinkled in to boot. Really reminds me of a cross between the Bourne series and 24. He's a spy with a huge body count.

  11. I didn't watch all of it today, but I finished watching The Shield. Jesus, what an absolutely brilliant show. It just kept picking up momentum like a boulder rolling down a hill and by the end you just knew shit was going to get fucked up. Without a doubt, its on my top five greatest TV shows ever.

    The Shield - 9.5 out of 10

  12. Drive was another show that I was interested in but was doomed from the start by its timeslot. I think the show could have gone for 3-4 seasons and been interesting along the way, but they put it up against Dancing with the Stars and Deal or no Deal and it got destroyed in the ratings and got pulled after like 3-4 episodes. Fucking Fox.
