Harrison Ford’s injury halts filming for “Star Wars Episode VII” for two weeks…

2 Comments

JJ Abrams and the cast & crew of “Star Wars: Episode VII” have decided to halt filming for two weeks so they can give Harrison Ford more time to heal. While announcing the film’s break, they just signed two new cast members to join the film. Don’t get too excited though ’cause the two new cast members are completely unknowns.

A lot of people want to blame Harrison’s old age like I mistakenly did. Maybe I was wrong to blame Harrison’s age. I mean, the accident might not be Harrison’s fault but maybe it was the film crew’s fault, they weren’t actually paying attention.

Man, that’s gotta really suck when an actor gets signed for a huge role and then he gets injured when starting to work.

Hopefully, they’ll be more careful next time when Harrison returns.

Pink Floyd to release new album this year? Yes, you heard that right!!!!

Leave a comment

Pink Floyd is set to release a new album later this year. It’ll be their first new studio album since 94’s “The Division Bell”. This new album will have unreleased songs that were recorded during “The Division Bell” sessions. The new album news was first leaked by Gilmour’s wife who revealed the news on twitter. Turns out to be true.

Look like a new album to add to the list of albums I’m looking forward to in 2014 this year. Like most, I’m a Pink Floyd fan as well as “Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Wall” are two of my favorite albums. I love “The Division Bell” too even if it wasn’t everyone’s favorite album by them.

The other new albums I look forward to this year are new albums by “Weird Al”, The Foo Fighters, the new Slash album, the new album by Judas Priest, and the new album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

If Metallica ever gets their new album the green light this year, I’ll be looking forward to that as well. I have a feeling we’re not gonna see a new Metallica album this year, though, look like it’ll be for next year.

Obama’s hatred for America shows even more when it comes to 4th of July…

4 Comments

While Barack Obama and George W. Bush are celebrating, “4th of July. Enjoy the fireworks.” there is a slight difference on how the two are celebrating it publicly in social networking.

In Obama’s facebook, all he posted was just a simple photo of Washington with fireworks exploding in the sky and he just made these comments, “Happy 4th Of July”.

In George W.’s facebook, he did something even better by paying respects to US troops.

For last year’s 4th of July in 2013, Obama actually payed tribute to the Declaration of Independence by posting this…

Interesting how this is isn’t it???

If a President really loved America and was a true patriot, he would have done more than just post a photo of Washington with fireworks in the sky. I’ve looked through Obama’s past facebook and he haven’t posted much about July 4th over the years. In 2010, he posted something about July 4th but he inserted himself and Michelle into it instead of paying respects to the Declaration of Independence, the US troops or the American Flag.

Obama did a speech on July 4th yesterday but it was about Immigration Reform of course, instead of it being about celebrating America’s birthday. Past presidents have done speeches on July 4th and they were all usually very powerful and inspiring speeches about celebrating the birthday of America. Obama doesn’t do that.

We have an anti-American president (if he really is an American, that is). Get over yourselves.

Picked up 5 albums from Itunes yesterday…

Leave a comment

Yesterday evening, I just picked up 5 albums from Itunes for my Ipod Touch.

The albums that I picked up were:

-The new Phish album, “Fuego”

-Iggy Azalea “The New Classic” (listened to this one last night and loved it)

-Pharrell Williams “Girl”

-Al Di Meola “Land of the Midnight Sun” (1976)

-Allman Brothers “Enlightened Rogues”

Some of you may ask why would I get albums like Iggy and Pharrell? Well I told ya before, I like some pop and rap music. Not all of it but some of it I will take. A lot of people would think I only listen to rock n’ roll music only but not always. I was never shy of listening to pop/rap artists such as Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Adelle, Eminem, etc.

I do like some pop music but I will never listen to artists like Kanye, Justin Bieber or Britney Spears… keep me away from those please.

I just like good music, doesn’t matter the genre. I listen to a little bit of everything. Rock n’ roll, metal, pop, rock, country, classical, jazz, blues, acoustic/folk, etc.

It’s a good thing to do to like a wide variety of music. I never believed in staying in one genre like many do. I just listen to whatever catches my ear.

I feel bad for Gregg Allman and the Allman Brothers… god bless them…

Leave a comment

Gregg Allman and the Allman Brothers are having a bad year. Gregg’s health keeps getting worse as he just postponed his entire solo career and he’s in the hospital. Gregg is in the middle of a lawsuit battle because of Sarah Jones’s tragic death. Some of the film crew like the director and producers of “Midnight Rider” film have been charged for Sarah’s death.

Maybe this is why Gregg Allman have decided to split the Allman Brothers? The Allman Brothers break-up haven’t been official yet but I have a feeling it maybe coming soon.

This isn’t a good time for the Brothers to be playing ’cause of all the stuff going on with the “Midnight Rider” film and Gregg’s health.

I give so much respect to Gregg though. He loves music and performing. He tries to perform live on stage whenever he can even when he’s sick but when his health gets worse, he’ll have no choice but to pull out of shows.

Anyway, I just bought another album from the Brothers from Itunes called, “Enlightened Rogues”. I’m trying to collect their entire discography the best I can.

I love the Allman Brothers. It’s a shame what they’re going through. The band have gone through a lot of ups and downs over the years but they’ve had a good 45 year run, though.

I would say that for these new songs that I’ve been writing for this internet album, the Allman Brothers were a huge inspiration for it.

I wish Gregg and the band, the best.

Film Review: Deliver Us From Evil

Leave a comment

Starring: Eric Bana, Edgar Ramirez

Directed by: Scott Derrickson

Today, I have just seen the newest horror film, “Deliver Us From Evil” which is based on a true events. I was gonna do this review on a videoblog but I don’t really feel like going through all that work so I’ll just do the review quickly on here.

Plot/synopsis: New York police officer Ralph Sarchie (Eric Bana), struggling with his own personal issues, begins investigating a series of disturbing and inexplicable crimes. He joins forces with an unconventional priest (Edgar Ramirez), schooled in the rituals of exorcism, to combat the frightening and demonic possessions that are terrorizing their city. Based upon the book, which details Sarchie’s bone-chilling real-life cases.

This story is based on upon the real life story of NYC police officer Ralph Sarchie as you just read above. This film mostly got negative reviews but why? I went to see this one ’cause I LOVE horror films for one and I also love movies about demonic possession. There have been many demonic possession movies over the years. They just keep coming and coming but most demonic possession films in the past were goofy and silly as hell with the exception of “The Exorcist” which is obviously the best movie about possession.

This movie here, “Deliver Us From Evil” makes demonic possession more realistic and more believable. However, this isn’t really a straight up horror film… it’s also a cop drama that involves demons. This film is not just about people being possessed it’s about a police officer becoming a demonogolist which is a systematic study of demons or beliefs in demons.

I thought, “Deliver Us From Evil” was a great horror film. I thought a lot of it was pretty scary and disturbing. This film seemed like a mix of “The Exorcist” and “Se7en” mixed into one. This film felt like David Fincher could have directed it. I thought the script was well-written and well-acted by cast. Eric kills it in this role.

This film will keep you guessing and will keep you at the edge of your seat all the way through. There are some disturbing and graphic moments throughout the film. It has a good exorcism scene at the end too. The film was entertaining as hell and I thought it was great. I wasn’t bored one bit.

Two thumbs up.

Just picked up Neil Strauss’s “The Game” book today…

Leave a comment

https://twitter.com/KBrocking/status/485144567264870401

Today, when I went to the mall to go to the movies and to do a little shopping, I picked up this book, “The Game” by Neil Strauss from Barnes & Noble. My heavy research on women, dating and relationships continues.

I know I can prove the doubters wrong that I can get the babes. Just watch me.

I’ll give this book a read soon and will review it when I finish reading it. I was gonna get this book as an ebook for the Ipad but then I figured it would be better to get this book on regular hardcover. This book was a bit pricey but I’m sure it’s worth it.

I’ve been wanting to read this book for a long time and finally gotten around to picking it up.

It is time to get into the Game!!!

Does Lindsay Lohan have the right to sue the makers of “Grand Theft Auto V”??? I’d say yes…

2 Comments

The “Mean Girls” star, Lindsay Lohan, have sued the makers of “Grand Theft Auto V” claiming they used her likeness without her permission. She accused them of using her image, voice and all the problems that she had in her life to use for the game. Sorry to say, everyone but I have noticed all kinds of similarities of Lindsay Lohan for the game. Especially the girl pictured on the front cover of the box art. It seems like the game was attacking Lindsay all the way even though her name wasn’t being used.

I think she’s doing the right thing looking into it. I’m no fan of Lindsay myself but she has the right to sue if she feels that entertainment media is trying to make her look bad publicly.

I played “GTAV”. It’s a cool game but there’s a lot of whacky storylines in it, though. Plus the game was too easy and predictable.

More on the story, here:

Somebody finally said it!!! Thanks Joan Rivers!!!

21 Comments

While out in the streets of NYC Joan Rivers was approached by a news reporter and the news reporter asked Joan if the US will one day have our first gay president and Joan replied we already have one. Our first gay president is none other than Barack Obama. She also said that Michelle is a transexual.

I’m no fan of Joan Rivers by any means but she got my respect for this one. Finally, somebody had to say it.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/joan-rivers-calls-president-obama-716738

Of course, a lot of people want to believe that Obama being gay is conspiracy theory but it’s not. This stuff well-documented. The people of Chicago knows about it. Pretty much, all of Barack’s closest friends and past acquaintances have came forward publicly with it. Larry Sinclair tried to warn America about it.

Barack have also showed plenty of signs of it over the years like his flip-flop on his stance for gay marriage. Showing support for Michael Sam the gay NFL player and all that stuff.

It’s already out there. People are just being ignorant about it ’cause they hate hearing the fact that Barack is homosexual.

We already have our first gay president. Barack just haven’t came out of the closet yet. You see y’all? I’m not alone on this stuff. 🙂
