This is exciting news, I can’t wait to play the Raiden character. The character is so badass in the games. I’ll definitely be getting this game when it hits the video game shelves!

Starring: Alison Lohman, Justin Long
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Just got back from seeing the new Sam Raimi movie, “Drag Me To Hell” this afternoon. Sam Raimi returns to his roots, his classic comedy/horror genre into a new film. Here is my review:
Plot/synopsis: Alison Lohman plays a loan officer who evicts an old woman from her home. After learning that this woman is very strange and demonic, she learns that she is actually a monster called the Lamia where she can send Alison’s character to hell. For days, she has been tortured by this Lamia creature which it tries to send her to hell everytime but fails. Justin Long plays her characters boyfriend, while she seeks a promotion as manager at the loan office, she is being haunted by this Lamia demon with strange and evil things happening to her.
My thoughts on the film?
It totally felt like an “Evil Dead” remake, except this is a female version of Ash. A female version of Ash battling a bunch of demons. This movie wasn’t all that scary, although there were many jumps from the seat, I didn’t get jumped being scared one bit. I live my life watching horror films, so I’m used to watching them.
Sam Raimi kept the film low budget, Evil Dead old school style. Similar special effects and similar gore to the Evil Dead series. Similar humor too.
The film was alright, but it wasn’t anything special. I think Sam Raimi did a film like this as a test to see if he can still do horror films after years of doing work for Spiderman. The only thing I give “Drag Me To Hell” respect for, is that this proves that Sam Raimi is capable enough of making, Evil Dead 4.
I can easily see this film being “Evil Dead 4” with Bruce Campbell as Ash in the leading role, instead of Alison Lohman. Alison’s and Justin Long’s acting skills weren’t all that great. Sammy boy still has what it takes to do horror films though, that’s the only thing I give the film respect for.
It was an ok film. Nothing great, nothing amazing. I’ve seen better.
Score for “Drag Me To Hell” = ** (2 stars as in “ok”)

I usually ignore this type of bullying stuff whether it’s online or in person in the real world, but I gotta rant about this to get it off my chest since I had this topic stuck in my head for a while. Plus they deserve a kick in the ass sometimes.
The one thing that I have never done to people is bully them and make fun of people. I never done that once in my life. Not even in high school either. I treat all people with equal respect. It doesn’t matter what kind of person you are, or what you look like. It is wrong to make fun and harrass others just because they aren’t perfect. People can be ugly, people can be fat, people can be mentally challenged (retarded is the wrong word) or have dissabilities, etc. You don’t make fun of other human beings. I’m not just writing this just to defend myself, I’m writing this to defend all innocent people that have personal problems whether it’s Iaz or other people.
If you’re the type of person that is still bullying innocent people, I’ll think of you that’s what you have done back in high school and your personality has never changed. When you’re out of high school, and you’re still bullying people especially when you’re 30 or 40 years of age or over, I’ll think of you as a complete total fuckin’ prick and a douchebag. Nobody is perfect. Perfection doesn’t exist in this world. You are not even perfect either.
There is freedom of speech and the 1st amendment, but you have to understand that there is still harrasment laws that anybody can enforce. You can’t get away with talking bad about innocent people that don’t deserve it. The laws can be enforced anywhere whether it’s in person or online. People think they can come online and say whatever they please, when they fail to follow the TOS rules and the laws in America are still enforced online as well. Why do you think people are busting on criminals through craigslist and myspace? Laws are enforced everywhere, you can’t get away with anything these days even when you’re online.
If you hide anonymously on the computer, it’s easy to figure out who you really are anyways, so nobody is fooling no one. My point of this blog, is that, it’s not us that has the issues, it is you that has issues if you’re still an adult, treating people like crap.
I will be seeing the movie, “Drag Me To Hell” this afternoon, review coming later tonight.

The New Orleans local news did a story on the “Expendables” being filmed in their city. They describe this movie “Rambo X’s 10”. Meaning that the “Expendables” will be more violent than the Rambo movies.
See it here:
Reading the “Expendables” blog, it looks like the violence could be much worse than Rambo. They’re doing all real stunts, and sounds like they are doing real fighting. Real punching and real kicking with real injuries, and everything. Of course, the only thing that’s not real is the gun shooting. They are using real explosions and all that.
I don’t understand why Sly has to release this in the Spring of 2010, when a movie like this will be a perfect, Christmas release.
Sly is almost done with the movie. They’re almost done filming in New Orleans, then they shoot in Los Angeles for the Sly, Arny, and Church scenes last.
After Sly’s finished filming the movie, he’ll have to edit it and put it all together. Keeping the scenes that are right and taking out the scenes that aren’t. Adding sounds effects, musical scores, regular songs by artists/bands for the film soundtrack and whatever last finishing touches they do before release date.
Look like this film is aiming for a 2 hour running length since they aren’t filming for that long. It could be even a little less, maybe an hour and 40 minutes, or worse, a 90 minute film again.
I’m usually never that excited for movies that I’m interested in seeing but like I said before, “The Expendables” is one film that I’m pretty psyched to see. Yeah, I do get a little excited for some movies coming out that I like, but not that excited, but this one I’m very excited and pumped to be seeing.
I’m sure Sly will NOT dissapoint. A film like this is an action movie fan’s dream come true. I’m sure this film will get all action movie fans satisfied, since his last “Rambo” movie got mixed reviews. Sly just wants to make the best action movie possible and he is trying, I think he will do it with this one. This isn’t the biggest movie Sly has ever done, but it certainly is the biggest action movie ever.

There’s a new “Metal Gear Solid” reboot series coming to the PS3 very soon, but this “Metal Gear Solid” series won’t focus on the game’s main character of Solid Snake. The next “Metal Gear Solid”, you’ll finally get to play the character Raiden. Raiden (pictured above) is a character from the earlier Metal Gear Solid games that you don’t play but he is seen in the scene segments of the game. In the next Metal Gear game, you’ll actually get to play Raiden yourself.
I thought Raiden is one of the best characters in the Metal Gear Solid games. Konami will hold a press conference today to announce the news. For now this is just a rumour but Konami will confirm whether it is true or not. It must be true if they are holding a press conference about it.
More on the story here:

Wow, playing the Raiden character in the next Metal Gear Solid game, will be freaking sweet!!!!
I’ll be on the lookout for this news.

More Sly and Dolph pics on set of the “Expendables” in Nola.

I really liked it a lot. Very entertaining and hilarious all the way through. Conan’s new show is no different than the last one. It’s still the same. Only difference, new studio design and new city. Although I do not like Will Ferrell, he was actually entertaining last night.
Pearl Jam played a great performance, they played a rare release of a song that I never heard before. So I guess, Pearl Jam did play one of their new songs from their upcoming new album that they’ve been recording in the studio. I’m actually glad Pearl Jam didn’t play anything off the “Ten” album and played something totally new that was never released. Smart thing!
I’m just glad we don’t have to stay up so late just to watch Conan anymore. Glad he is on earlier!

Tonight is Conan O’ Brien’s first day of “The Tonight Show”. I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time and the wait is about over! Pearl Jam, Will Ferrell, Andy Richter…Tom Hanks will also be appearing.
I’m sure Conan will bring us the LOL’s like he always had. Conan is the king of late night. He’s the only one that is funny, that is why. Well, I’ll say Jimmy Fallon is kind of funny, but not hilarious, Fallon is entertaining though.
Jay isn’t funny, Carson Daly isn’t funny, David Letterman isn’t that funny, add Jimmy Kimmel and Craig Ferguson to the list.
Conan knows how to bring the hard laughs out of everybody. He’s a genius at comedy. Looking forward to tonight!

The 2nd installment of the “Twilight Saga” series, “New Moon” hit the web over the weekend.
I’m sure all the tween girls are loving this trailer and going crazy over it, while all the men are hating on it, but I gotta say, I think the next movie looks better than the first!

Dolph Lundgren is having various interviews on the web to talk about his upcoming movie projects he’s directing and, “The Expendables” that he’s starring in.
I believe that the reason Dolph agreed to star in “The Expendables”, is to get some directing lessons from Sly. Dolph is a film director himself and in these interviews, he talked about how he learned a lot from Sly in film directing, when making action movies. Another reason Dolph agreed to sign on to “Expendables” was ’cause he loved the script.
Dolph talks about how it is so cool to be working with Sly again after all these years of not seeing each other.

“Expendables”, bigger than Rocky and Rambo? Sorry Dolph but I think Rocky and Rambo were Sly’s biggest films ever.
“Expendables” will be a smash hit with all the star power in it, yes, but it’s definitely not in Rocky and Rambo’s league.
