Netflix Pick (PS3): Hobo With a Shotgun…

Leave a comment

Last night for my Saturday night movie, I decided to watch “Hobo With a Shotgun” because the plot sounded interesting to me.

In the film, Rutger Hauer plays a homeless man who moves into a city named, Hope Town. Which is a city that has a pretty high crime rate. The city of Hope Town, is full of gangs, burglars, rapists, drug users, prostitutes, pedophiles, and corrupt cops. Rutger Hauer’s character , who is called the Hobo, becomes the town’s hero by fighting crime with a shotgun. A prostitute named, Abby, becomes the Hobo’s friend because he saved her life from two rapists from a gang that was lead by a leader named, The Drake. The Drake finds that the hobo is becoming a hero of this town and he wants to kill him out of jealousy rage.

Enough with the plot, but I would have to say I was very impressed with this movie. The movie is a very short 1 hour and 25 minutes long, but the movie was fun and a blast to watch. Rutger Hauer was such a badass in this flick. It was a great action ride. Lot of cool action sequences and gun fights. Warning though: this film is very gory, violent and graphic in this film. This film will make your stomach turn a little bit. Nonstop action and blood.

The movie is filmed old school style even though it was new. It’ll make you feel like watching a 70’s B-movie. It felt like a Quentin Tarantino or a John Carpenter flick even if those two guys didn’t do the movie. The film was directed by Jason Eisener.

After watching this film, I wish there could be a sequel now, but there probably won’t be because of the ending. I won’t spoil things for you but I can give you a hint that the good guys don’t always win in this movie. That’s another thing that I liked about it.

The Drake was a really cool movie villain too and he’ll piss you off every time you saw his face on screen. You get all these superhero comic book movies with some guy dressed up in a suit, saving the day, but a homeless guy have to fight crime too right? This movie is actually pretty realistic too, I was surprised. You also felt sorry and kind of sad for the Hobo too.

I really liked the film a lot. One of my favorite action films of this year. Check it out when you get a chance.

Cool Video: Ultimate Warrior’s web series “It Does Matter”…

Leave a comment

Even if you’re not a fan of wrestling, I would suggest everyone to watch Ultimate Warrior’s series of videos called, “It Does Matter”. He basically talks about how to enjoy life and how to make your life better. Live your life the way you want to and not having to work day jobs.

He says you can live the life the way you want to. You don’t have to live it by working day jobs. He says working day jobs just to pay your bills and keep your house is not a good way to live your life. I actually kind of agree with him.

You see, Ultimate Warrior is speaking from experience. This is how he became a professional wrestler because he wanted it. If he wanted it, he went and got it. If you want to achieve something big in your life, you have to work for it. Warrior here is giving you advice on how to do something big in your life.

Honestly, I’ve been unemployed all summer long. Does that make me a pathetic loser for not having a job? NO! I actually enjoyed being unemployed at this moment. It was a great summer off. I enjoyed it throughout because honestly, I don’t like working day jobs myself. Why? Because I hate dealing with ego-driven and greedy bosses who think they’re bigger & better than you. I hated getting bossed around by other employees who think they’re the boss. Too much drama and negativity on jobs. They work your asses off 8-10 hours a day, when you should be out there living your life, the way you want to. That’s what Warrior is saying here.

If you want to become a famous rock star, a writer, model, actor, or even a professional sports player, you gotta work your way up to that. I wanted to be either a musician or a published author and I’m trying my best to make both of those happen. I’m also trying to make my fitness dream happen by trying to get the muscular physique I’ve always wanted.

I’m enjoying life the way I want to. Not caring what anyone else thinks. All I want to do is play my music and workout in the gym.

Sure, I’ll get myself a better life down the road. I would like to get married and start a family of my own someday and all that stuff, but I want something BIG to happen in my life too someday. Life is short. You want something big to happen in your life before it’s too late.

Thanks Warrior for these inspirational videos.

Thought: Is Hulk Hogan and his daughter Brooke into incest???

Leave a comment

Here is the latest controversy with Hulk Hogan. For years, Hulk Hogan have been accused of being in an incest relationship with his own daughter, Brooke. The rumor hit hard on the internet with that pic above. Brooke recently posed nude for PETA as a charity type of thing and Hulk here is in the PETA offices in support of Brooke for the revealing of that poster.

As you can see, Hulk is covering her privates on the poster, and he looks like he is enjoying himself, clearly. Big smile and all. I know Hulk is only joking and fooling, but see how this would give people the wrong idea?

Brooke took to her twitter and defended herself and her father, she said…

“Im SO sick of people saying me and my dad are in some perverted relationship! Go home and do your own thing! Stop picking on me!”

Well, Brooke, if your Dad would stop being so touchy feely as if he’s enjoying it so much, then these rumors wouldn’t have started.

Does this pic remind you of something, Brooke? Daddy’s hand on his own daughter’s ass, you can clearly see it.

The Ultimate Warrior is correct when he says that Brooke and Nick are becoming more like Hulk.

I’m pretty sure Brooke and Hulk aren’t into incest, of course, but Hulk seems to be too obsessed with her it’s kind of creepy.

Why the goth look on Lisbeth Salander???

1 Comment

The goth look on Lisbeth Salander played by Rooney Mara for David Fincher’s “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” and Noomi Rapace played Lisbeth for the Swedish version, is being questionable by some people. Some of you may ask, why the goth look? I can see why some people would feel uncomfortable with her look. I’ve seen plenty of real women that has a similar goth look.

Before Stieg Larrson created this Lisbeth character for the Millennium series, he had this weird and messed up vision in his head of what Pippi Longstocking would have looked when she’s a full grown adult. Pippi Longstocking was a very popular character for children’s books in Sweden. Pippi Longstocking was also pretty well  known in the U.S. too. Everything about Lisbeth is Pippi Longstocking inspired.

If you read the Millennium books, Lisbeth has the words, “V. Kulla” spray painted on the front door of her apartment. Where does “V. Kulla” came from? It’s the abbrievation of Villa Villekulla which is the name of Pippi’s house in the children’s books. Salander originally was born with red heair but she dyed it to black. Pippi had red hair too. Lisbeth’s face is very similar to Pippi as well.

In the books, Lisbeth is an expert researcher and a pro computer hacker. Before, Mikael Blomkvist met this woman in the books, he kept picturing her as a smart, rich, and beautiful lady. Nope. When he actually met her in the first novel, she turned out to be a scary looking goth girl instead. Lisbeth wasn’t rich, she had financial troubles and would do just about anything for money. That’s why she agreed to work for Mikael ’cause she was desperate for a job. While she can be a tough and difficult lady to get along with, there is a heartfelt and emotional part about her too. She can be a fun loving girl at times too.

I think the reason for the goth look is not only for the entertainment part of it, without it, people wouldn’t pay attention to the books. The Millennium series wouldn’t be popular without the goth look. They want people to be scared of her look at first, but when you actually get into the character, you’ll think to yourself, “Wow, she’s actually a great character”.

The reason for her tough girl attitude, is that she had a tough life growing up. Everybody treated her like garbage, she was raped, etc. As a 12 year old, Lisbeth, set her own father on fire, because he beat her mother that left her with permanent brain damage.

The goth look is so she can be a different and new person. The look is her way of moving on from her dark past. She wanted to move forward and not look back. She felt that she could be a better person with that look.

I really am looking forward to David Fincher’s version, and I hope he stays true to the novel, this time, and not leave anything out. I will be there to see this in theater. I still haven’t read the other two Millennium books, “The Girl Who Played With Fire” and “The Girl Who Kicks the Hornet’s Nest” but I’ll get to them soon. There are still other books I need to catch up on.

I’m not that big of an Austin Powers fan but it’s good news that he’s finally getting another film. I only loved the first Austin Powers movie, the other two were okay.

Hopefully, Verne Troyer will reprise his role as Mini-Me. I’m sure he will come back too.

Report: Jonathan Demme to direct Stephen King’s “11/22/63″…

3 Comments

Stephen King’s next book “11/22/63” is not out in stores yet, but the book is already being made into a movie for the big screen, and the film will be directed by Jonathan Demme. The man who brought us, “Silence Of the Lambs”.

The story for “11/22/63” is about a 35 year old English teacher named, Jake Epping, who tries to go back in time to save JFK’s life from the assassination. The book is set to hit bookstores everywhere, November 8th of this year.

Deadline, reports.

To read excerpts of “11/22/63” visit Stephen King’s website.

What do you think? Will Jake save John F. Kennedy’s life? I think so yes. I think King will make JFK survive the assassination so someone else will play Kennedy for the film.

King’s newest books have been really crazy and whacky as of late. This book sounds even whackier.

I’ll probably buy this book when it comes out, sure. I buy every new book Stephen comes out with. The book must be that good if it’s already being made into a film. I wonder what made King go political all of a sudden? He has been staying away from horror as of late which is the genre he is most known for. He’s been writing a lot of sci-fi lately.

I wish he would write a horror novel again.

Celebrity/musician deaths

RIP: Jani Lane 1964 – 2011

Leave a comment

Jani Lane, started off as a drummer at the age of 4, because his older brother Eric, was already a good guitarist, so he learned to play drums with him. Jani got inspired into rock music by his sister Vicky and his parents. Throughout the years, Jani would play drums for various bands as a kid. In high school, Jani was a superstar in his football team as he was an amazing quarterback player. He was so good at football that he was offered a scholarship to different colleges. The only thing though, Jani was more interested in becoming a rock n’ roll musician than being a football player. At this time, he wanted to become a singer fronting a band instead of being a drummer.

Right after Jani graduated from high school, Jani joined the band Cyren as a drummer. He also performed for bands Dorian Grey and Plain Jane. Jani later started to take vocal lessons with professional vocal coach, Ron Feldman to learn how to sing. Jani first made his singing debut at Fern Park Station in Fern Park, Florida.

In July of 1984, the band Warrant formed by guitarist Erik Turner. Jani joined the band in 1986 as lead singer replacing Adam Shore. Warrant is most famous for anthems: “Cherry Pie”, “Heaven”, “Down Boys”, and more.

Jani Lane was found dead at a Comfort Inn Hotel in Woodland Hills, California, he was 47 years old.

Thought: It is a good thing that Bert & Ernie aren’t closet homosexuals…

3 Comments

Well, Sesame Street confirmed the rumors that Bert & Ernie are not gay, and they don’t plan on turning them gay anytime soon.

Read what the makers of Sesame Street have to say about it, here.

I think it’s a stupid and silly idea to marry them anyway. Think about how it’s going to influence pre-school children to go gay when they get older. I think someone who came up with that petition is a stupid idiot, in my opinion.

Thought: Why this is a perfect time to turn John Cena heel…

Leave a comment

Everyone wants John Cena to turn heel but WWE doesn’t want him the wrestler bad guy. Why? Because WWE is afraid they may lose ratings and they don’t want to lose the children who are fans of the wrestler. Plus, WWE is afraid they will lose merchandise sales if they turn him heel.

Honestly, I don’t think WWE should worry about that stuff, because turning Cena heel is exactly what the WWE needs right now. The fans hate him enough. He gets booed heavily at almost every WWE live show. I think it’s a perfect time for the switch. The only fans he has are children anyway. It’s mostly the adult wrestling fans who can’t stand the guy.

Turning Cena heel would make the business a lot better. How? It will certainly get people scratching their heads and tuning into RAW out of curiosity that Cena is the bad guy. I don’t think Cena will lose ratings or merchandise sales either. I mean, when the Nexus group were around, they were considered bad guys but their T-shirt merchandise sales were pretty high. People were buying Nexus shirts even though they were heels. The same will happen with Cena.

With Cena being the heel, instead of having bright colored shirts, hats and wrist bands… Cena would probably make the switch to dark colored hats, shirts, and wrist bands. In order to be heel, I think he’ll need to wear mostly black clothing.

Cena was heel before. He was heel when he first started in WWE way back. I think he is a better actor at being a heel than he is as a babyface superhero.

I can see a heel Cena bullying young children at ringside, saying, “I’m not your hero anymore”. Turning Cena heel would put an interesting twist to his feud against CM Punk and the Rock.

The question is will we ever see Cena turn heel? I certainly hope so someday. Hopefully before Wrestlemania-28, we get a Cena heel turn. I want him to be a heel like everyone else ’cause his modern day Hulk Hogan gimmick is getting old and boring already.

WWE RAW is getting really good again. I’ve been enjoying it lately probably because of CM Punk, he’s a phenomenal performer and one of the bests.
