"The Knowing"-Movie review

">

Hollywood has a throng of celebrities at their disposal when a big budget film needs a well known face to boost the chance of a profit. Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew Mcconaughey and Brad Pitt, are actors that are called upon to carry the weight of films, when they are encumbered by predictable storylines and z-list actors. In “The Knowing” the producers chose Nicholas Cage, a tried and true veteran of the suspense genre. The rest of the cast are relatively unknown and are hardly worth mentioning, except perhaps as a model for those attempting to learn poor acting skills. The Special effects in this film are breathtakingly realistic and perhaps the only saving grace within its one hour and fifty five minute run time. I have yet to see a more impressive train wreck on film,(double entendre?) and the only plane crash that can hold a candle to the one in this movie, is the one featured in “lost”.

The studio enlisted the directing duties of Alex Proyas, who has directed notable films in the past, such as “I,Robot” and “The Crow”. All in all, this movie is predictable, (especially if you’ve seen the trailer) it leaves you emotionally stranded, and it will leave your wallet suffering from buyer’s remorse. If you don’t care about an engaging story, dialogue delivered by actors with a sense of human emotion, or knowing the ending before the movie even starts, than this is the movie to see…

This is new song from Sean Kingston and Lil' Wayne. Go figure right, two guys that are on everything, we like it though. Also, Lil' Wayne is supposed to come out with a new (rock) album. I don't know really what the target audience for that is though it seems like all the "rocker" kids will call him a poser and all the "hip-hop" kids will call him a sell out. Still, the first single "Prom Queen" is pretty darn catchy. You can argue with progress I guess.

Check out Prom Queen.

The Streets

Check this video out. I am really digging this guy these days.

I know its tacky....

... but I ripped off a post from another blogger. I love the first song.
Amélie fans check it out!

Where are the Wild Things?

RIGHT HERE!

That is right ladies and gents, it is finally happening! Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, directed by Spike Jones is set to be released October 16th, 2009. It makes me want to bust out the footie pajamas and build a fort to wait in until October.

Strawberry Delight

Watch that video.

I want everyone to know that baseball cards are cool again. My lady and I were walking through Wal-mart the other night and we decided to collect the entire 2009 Topps set. We are buying a pack at a time, and what fun it is to open a new pack.

On another note; those that are in the know, know that I like shoes. I also happen to like Kanye West. Then he and Nike made some sweet kicks together so it is proverbial marriage of things I enjoy, and I should somehow get credit.

Indrid Cold and I

Obsessions, compulsions.
Check, double check, triple check,

Check, double check, triple check,
discard.

I paced the aisles in dismay. Check, double check, and so on. I could taste the stomach acid, the same that was eating my chest. Now in my mouth and the throb, insulin, light and sick. When they starve lab rats they become more active, survival. Checking, spinning the wheel, sleepless.

Neuroglycopenic manifestations: he was a child pulling on my coat tails. Expressionless. He held out the apple*, not an apple.
The apple.
Malus domestica.
The form.
Look this up.

Without opening his mouth he communicated "Eat, as form will never change"
"who-"
"Indrid"



Romeo and Juliet, I, IV

"Peace, peace, Mercutio, peace.
Thou talk'st of nothing."

MERCUTIO: "True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air..."
