Report: Dolph Lundgren’s “Command Performance” teaser trailer and website up now!!!!

Leave a comment

Several months back, I reported that action hero Dolph Lundgren is about to make a huge return to hollywood mainstream with an action film titled “Command Performance”, the film is written and directed by Dolph Lundgren himself, and he also plays the leading role. Dolph plays a drummer in a rock n’ roll band in the film and when the band plays a concert in Moscow, the concert gets ruined by mercenary leader Oleg Kazov (the main villain of the film, Dolph is the hero) kidnapping people for ransom, Dolph’s character is trying to save a female popstar’s life from armed mercenaries.

No release date of the film have yet to be announced but it should be coming out in 2009. The film will be huge I think and will get a nationwide release, this is a long time coming for Dolph! The film is being made by Nu Image/Millenium. Somehow I get this feeling that Sylvester Stallone helped Dolph release this film through that company.  

See the official website of the film here:

See the teaser trailer in better quality in the video below. Dolph is at the drumset by the way.

Report: Sammy Hagar says yes to John McCain using “Right Now” as theme song…

Leave a comment

When John McCain used the Van Halen song in the Sammy Hagar era “Right Now” for his presidential campaign on the night he announced Sarah Palin his running mate for Vice President, Eddie Van Halen himself wasn’t happy about it, saying that the presidential hopeful used the song without the band’s permission. Eddie fired back at McCain saying he had no right to use the song.

TMZ reports:

However, the man that wrote the song himself, Sammy Hagar, responded to Van Halen saying that Sammy is all cool with McCain using the song. Sammy defended the song saying that he wrote the song because “Right Now” is a political song, he says the song is basically about if you want something in life, don’t sit around and go out and get it. The song is about making changes.

“Right Now” is a hit single that was recorded for the album “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge” released back in 1991. The song became one of the biggest Van Halen hits ever made.

Kudos to Sammy, I’m glad he spoke out and stepped in before Eddie threatened lawsuit on McCain. McCain don’t need anymore lawsuits by musicians ’cause he already got one by Jackson Browne. If Sammy Hagar is the one who wrote the music and lyrics to “Right Now”, Sammy owns the copyright, that means David Lee Roth has no control over that song since David Lee Roth was no part of it.

Top 5 best current “heels” in the WWE…

Leave a comment

The WWE seems to be improving and getting better in their storylines and matches as of late. The ratings of RAW/ECW/Smackdown are all going up. I just wanted to explain the 5 best heel superstars in the WWE currently. “Heel” is a wrestling term that is another word for a badguy.

5 best heels in the WWE here in no particular order:

Randy Orton

(Orton has always been a favorite of mine ever since he first came to WWE, I’ve had my eye on him since. An excellent performer and a great mic worker. He really knows how to get people to hate him. He’s a prick and a total jerk out in the ring, I like him like that. He’s one of the best heel performers in WWE of all times. This is the son of legendary wrestler Cowboy Bob Orton, plus, I love watching Randy Orton wrestle as well)

Chris Jericho

(Jericho just recently turned heel against his feud with Shawn Michaels. I love Jericho being heel. Jericho is much better as a heel than a babyface. Jericho is really entertaining and intense with his mic skills. Jericho is not the best at wrestling but I love listening to his speeches. Jericho is great working with the crowd)

JBL

(He used to be Bradshaw under the APA tag team with Farooq. I love the JBL character, I always look forward to seeing him on TV. Bradshaw again, excellent mic worker and excellent performer in the ring too. The things he does in the ring and out makes you really want to hate the guy and that what makes this guy so damn awesome. Bradshaw rules!!!)

Kane

(Good brawler type of wrestler and again, excellent mic skills. He is also a scary and ugly looking dude, and he is supposed to be that way to fit the character. Kane is one of the best characters in WWE by far…and one of the most controversial characters anyways…)

Vince McMahon

(Hands down, the best badguy in WWE. His character is sick and twisted, insane, and the biggest ego in WWE. Vince McMahon is taking another long break from performing currently but he will be back. I love Vince and enjoy watching him perform. There is so much comedy in his performing skills, Vince is hilarious…)

Thought: What was so amazing about the Barack Obama acceptance speech in Denver?

Leave a comment

I didn’t see the Barack Obama acceptance speech in Denver that everyone’s been raving about, they’ve been saying stuff like it’s an amazing speech and so emotional. Well I found the videos in youtube and watched the whole thing. Is it really that amazing? I was bored to tears during Obama’s speech. What was so special about it? All he did was talk a lot of negative trash about John McCain throughout most of it. Obama’s an asshole in my opinion.

Obama wants to stop the war and want to send the troops home and McCain wants to continue the war in Iraq. If Obama becomes President and he sends the troops home, then Osama Bin Laden wins, period, end of story. This is why McCain should be president because we need to finish the war and USA can win the war so we can live in peace that way. Sending troops home is not going to make peace for us, this will only make things worse if you use common sense. Barack Obama is such a dumb ass. Send troops home, this will give Osama Bin Laden and the terrorist more power.

I am still backing McCain and I’m still voting for him and Palin. Barack Obama is a joke. We need to finish what we started in the war and stopping the war now would be a huge huge huge mistake. Obama is such a fuckin’ idiot.

Book Review: Twilight…

Leave a comment

So I just got done reading the novel “Twilight” written by Stephenie Meyer. Stephenie Meyer is an author who currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona. Other than her writing career, she is also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints, which this makes her Mormon. Since this a vampire novel written by someone with religious beliefs you will not see any profanity or nasty blood and gore in this novel. Although the novel “Twilight” was strictly written for young adults in their teens, the book has attracted to readers in all ages.

The story is about a girl named Bella Swan who moved to Forks, Washington to live with her father Charlie. Bella’s parents are divorced while her mother lives with her new husband back in Phoenix, Arizona. Bella goes to Forks high school and makes new friends while there. There is a teenage boy named Edward Cullen who she finds very strange, she didn’t like him at first but became friends later in the novel. She didn’t know what he was until she researched herself and found out that Edward was a vampire on her own. Edward wanted to be a good vampire, not an evil vampire like most are. Edward refuses to drink blood from humans, he only drinks and feeds on animals so Edward just hunts for wild animals out in the woods.

Later in the novel, Bella runs into some vampire evil, by running into something called a vampire tracker. A vampire tracker where he follows her every move just for sport. Bella then expresses her feelings of wanting to become a vampire herself so she can be out of her troubled life and be with Edward forever. Edward would not allow this to happen. Does it happen? You’ll have to read the book for yourself to find out.

As far as my thoughts on the novel goes. I’ve read it while I was on vacation in San Diego on the plane to there and back home. The book was hard to put down. Stephenie Meyer is a good writer. I enjoyed the pacing and the storyline is actually really good too. It’s actually more than just a love story, it has storylines in there that makes you wonder what is going to happen next. It has action and a little bit of horror in it as well. The movie is going to be great and now I’m glad I read the book before seeing the movie. I’ll start reading the next book “New Moon” (which is part 2 of the Twilight series) soon. This book is reccomended.

Score for Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” novel = *** 3 stars as in good

BREAKING NEWS: The Grateful Dead to reunite for a one off gig with special surprise frontman replacing Jerry Garcia…

Leave a comment

The surviving members of the legendary jam band the Grateful Dead will reunite for a special one off reunion show on October 13th to help raise money for and awareness of presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh, and Bill Kreutzmann will reunite but will have a special guest surprise frontman to replace Jerry Garcia.

Take a wild guess on who the new Grateful Dead frontman is going to be. Yes, that’s right, it is going to be Warren Haynes, the current guitarist/singer who is now singing for the Allman Brothers Band and Gov’t Mule.

Jerry Garcia died in the year 1995 of a heart attack while living in a drug rehab clinic, it was due to his heavy illegal drug use. The band the Grateful Dead continued to tour after he passed on.

The reason the band accepted this opportunity was that they wanted to use this performance as a test for a possible future full world tour with Warren Haynes fronting the band full time.

FOXNews reports:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,413281,00.html

I would prefer Trey Anastasio being the new frontman of the Grateful Dead but Warren Haynes is real cool, I guess. Warren Haynes is an underrated musician and he could use some more mainstream recognition, this will help him get known a little more.
