Titblade
Witchblade [2006]
The Complete Series
3.5/5


Excuse the main title, but seriously....if you guys saw this series, you'd have thought the exact same thing. This thing was tits central, and it was crotch central too, and ass central....and any other female body part central you can think of, lol. "Why?", you ask?......well, the studio who were responsible for it, specialize in a lot of over sexed anime. It's all very T&A and adult friendly. Does that take away from the actual story though? for me, no.

In case you don't know, Witchblade originally started as a comic book series in the mid 90's. I've got a few of them myself and they can be a decent read. The character of Witchblade [Sarah Pezinni] is one of the coolest chics i've ever seen in comics, and the entire concept of her armor being a living weapon on her body looks beautiful when drawn on paper [thanks to Michael Turner]. This anime however doesn't follow the comic storyline, it features a new character and a new location, Tokyo City. It does follow the basic premise of Witchblade though surrounding the armor and how it takes control of it's host like a parasite and forces the person to do it's work.

The storyline isn't overly complex, but it's interesting enough to keep you watching. The thing about anime tv shows that sometimes puts me off, is the fact that they run for around 24 episodes. And many of the times, anime can become a little overlong with that type of episodic format. This does suffer from it. It dragged a handful of times, and i did have to soldier on through those periods hoping the pacing got a bit better. Luckily it did. The times the series got good, it was surprisingly entertaining, and if it kept that pacing and intensity in the storyline throughout, it would have been pretty damn good.

The best part of the series was the relationship between the main character and her daughter. It was an unexpected aspect of the story that worked a lot more believably than i thought it would. And by the end of the series, it got surprisingly emotional. That Mother/Daughter theme runs through many of the other characters as well, in fact.........the entire theme throughout the whole show WAS around mothering. It was an interesting twist.

Is it for everyone?.....probably not. The over sexualized characters and fight scenes may put some people off if that sort of thing offends you. If you're like me though, and if you don't care about jiggly boobies and giant round female asses on screen a lot, then you'll just get used to seeing so much of it while watching the series and you'll just accept it and eventually become numb to it.
It has some pacing issues, and one VERY pointless "beach holiday" episode which really wasn't necessary. The last episode is a little anti climatic, but a decent enough finish to a series that had some really great moments. Overall, i'd recommend it.

The DVD set also comes with a great bonus disc that has a lot of Top Cow comics behind the scenes footage on it. Interviews with the artists and writers of the comic series, and some good stuff on how the anime series came about. That extra disc alone makes it's worth it for any diehard Witchblade fans.

Tit-on, Witchblade!

Megan Fox wants to eat you...
I'm sure most teenage boys would cream in their panties if they heard me say that to them. But if Megan came at them with a set of demon fangs and devil eyes they may PEE their pants instead! There's no better way for her to make the boys scream then by scaring the shit out of them, and it looks like she's doing JUST that in her new movie 'Jennifer's Body'. It's written by that ex-stripper lady Diablo Cody, who also wrote JUNO! so at least we know the dialog will be good if anything. Throw in Megan Fox taking off her clothes and lots of bloody dead bodies, and this is what you get....



Looks radtacular!

Death, death, death...
Geez, what a whirlwind of a week.........well, last week to be exact. I woke up on Friday morning feeling like a brick wall had fallen on top of my head! little did i know that i was about to get hit with a serious bitch of a flu virus............but that would come AFTER i heard the news of Michael Jackson passing away from a heart attack! I got a txt about the news which woke me up, and i KNEW going online would be a SHITSTORM of a frenzy! Forums full of people talking about it, YouTube being flooded by viewers, news pages publishing the latest breaking news ect. ect. It Only got worse when i turned the TV on, most channels literally STOPPED. It was up to the minute coverage straight from the U.S. for hours! I wasn;t even THAT big of a fan, but it was SO odd taking it all in, MJ was dead..............felt so weird. Not that i had time to absorb it properly anyway since i started sweating and feeling cold and feeling sick and wanted to fall over on the floor, lol. There i was, head flooded with endless MJ reports, and me driving my sick self to my local medical center to get some meds before i passed out in a pool of my own vomit. Was a surreal morning. It only got worse as the day went ahead! With a bad fever and MJ in my mind, all i could think of in my sloppy, weak, dazed bed rest was Michael Jackson. He was replaying in my mind, over and over and over, i couldn't help it, lol, the fever was making me trip out, lol.

Aaaaanyway, after 24 hours i'd luckily kicked the flu's ASS and i had finally spewed enough to get me to sleep. Not only did i have to get used to FOOD digesting in my stomach the next couple of days, but MJ's death took a while to digest also. I have never seen the world in such sad uproar. It was everywhere! I'll never forget the day. Farah Fawcett died that day too, so to both of them i send out a R.I.P.

What else?.........well, as i eat through my savings account i hope to fall into some full time work soon. I've been out of work LONGER than i would have liked to have been, but what can you do eh?..............i'll tell you what i can do, shop, lol. Not a smart idea i know, but it makes me feel so warm inside. And after feeling the "warm inside" churning of vomit over the weekend, i deserve a little extra sumthin, sumthin to make me feel better!................not really, but fuck it, lol.

So until my new packages arrive in the mail, i'll be chomping on Jaffa chocolates and watching True Blood on Blu-ray. Uh huh, that's right, Blu-ray, i rock!

later.

So 3008!The Black Eyed Peas
Album: The E.N.D [Energy Never Dies]
[2009]
Standard Edition: 3.5/5
Deluxe Edition: 4/5


Pros: The Black Eyed Peas exploded with their album 'Elephunk' back in 2003. Before then they had released 2 albums, but they were only a trio at that stage and were on the CUSP of success. Once Fergie got on board for album #3 [Elephunk], it all exploded, and they became massive! Their album that followed [Monkey Business] in 2006 was a stronger album imo, but, it still held a similar style to 'Elephunk' that showed me there may not be much room for growth with the group. Now in 2009, they've released their 5th studio album and to my surprise, it's a complete departure from their previous work. The "funk" of their old work is still there, but in smaller doses. This time around, they've gone for more of an electro/club/dance type of sound, and it REALLY works in their favor.
The entire album is a BASS record, just one long massive pumping bassline. It was made for clubs, to party to. The album goes from catchy electro dance [Meet Me Halfway], to electro pop [Missing You], to club heavy FLOOR FILLAS [Boom Boom Pow, Rock That Body], and even some old skool dance funk [Alive]. There's a lot to choose from, and most of it is great. There's a 2 disc version of the album as well which features more new songs, most of which are pretty bland, but there is one gem amongst them, 'Simple Little Melody'. In fact, it really should have made the final cut for the proper album. The most surprising part of the second disc however are the old remixed bonus tracks. I thought maybe they'd give us some boring and thrown together mess of a remix collection, but it really is impressive! All the remixes chosen fit perfectly with the tone of the new album, they sound like brand new [and better] songs.

Cons: It's a big project of an album, so with that comes many songs. At times, the overwhelming amount of tracks can be a bit much [25 in total] , so there is a bit of CRAP to get through. Most of the worst songs appear on the 1 disc version of the album, 'Electric City' is boring, 'One Tribe' is cheesy and 'Now Generation' is one of the worst songs i've ever heard. The good definitely out way the bad, but the shit moments are still there..........and they are EPICALLY shit.
Another minor gripe with the album is some of the track lengths. Even though some of the songs are really great, they can be a little over long at times. I love a good long track, but some songs really DON'T need to run for 5 minutes!......they could be cut down easily.

Overall: It's a solid album with a few small problems, but they are easily forgettable. It's not perfect, but it's definitely their best record.

Buffy The Bastardized Slayer
Oh hell no!...........so it looks like the team behind the original Buffy movie [from 1992] have decided to REBOOT the franchise with a brand new film. What does that mean exactly?..........i'll tell you what it fucking means, it means [possibly] NO input from series CREATOR Joss Whedon, it means a brand NEW cast, which means bye bye for Sarah Michelle Gellar, and it also means a whole bunch of new characters and story are going to be introduced into the Buffyverse! that's what it means!
How does this affect me?.......i'll tell you how, it's a mother fucking kick in the fucking BRAINS! that's how it affects me! This is like Star Wars without George Lucas, it's like Indiana Jones without Harrison Ford, it's like E.T without Speilberg, it just DOESN'T make ANY sense. In fact, it's so beyond WRONG and RIDICULOUS that the mathematical order of the entire UNIVERSE may IMPLODE from such a fucking STUPID shift in the world of Buffy!
Now..........when i actually take the time to SIT and THINK about the positives of such a project, can i come up with ANY good things to say?..........i GUESS i can, if i dig deep enough........like, really really really deep. It IS a reboot, so they technically won't be messing with the tv series universe that we all know and love, that's a plus i guess. I'd rather see a reboot of the Buffyverse then see the tv show on the big screen with a NEW CAST playing the same characters, that's just fucking INSULTING. Also, the fact that it's a movie means we may finally get the high budget big screen Buffy film we've been wanting since day 1!.....................but really...........when you think about it, we finally get what we want, and all the things we LOVE about it are GONE from the project anyway!? so is it really worth it? No Joss, No Scooby Gang?...........honestly, it just all seems so fucking stupidly pointless!
I want to see this project fail, i want to see this film not have the witt and brilliance of the tv show, i want to see it go straight to dvd and to stay there rotting away...............and chances are, it most likely WILL. Why?............well, you won't find many Buffy fans who would support this NEW PROJECT OF DISGUST! so their main fan base is pretty much GONE. All they'd have left are newbies, and i doubt many newbies would be running to their local video store to pick up the straight to dvd Buffy movie Directed by some hack, written by some douche starring some dumb slut. There isn't much support for it and i don't see it being a big screen endeavor working in their favour at all to be honest. At least if the original team from the show were on board, you'd already have a rabid audience who could make the film a minor success at the box office, but without them, you have nothing. It's a cult show for a reason, without the "cult" you have NOTHING.

A few months from now, i hope to see this new movie OUT of production. And if it does go ahead, i will enjoy tarnishing it's name whereever i go!

FUCK OFF!

end.

Splash!
Today marks the 20th anniversary of what SOME people consider to be Disney's greatest movie. Whether you agree or not, there's no denying it's an animated classic which many of us grew up watching.
From what i've read, in the 80's, Disney had hit a bit of a slump when it came to animated movies. They become very "old skool" and people weren't flocking to see Disney animated features as much as they used to in previous decades. 'The Little Mermaid' changed all of that!!!!!......Disney gave itself a make over and "caught up with the times" and TLM became a huge hit, it was modern, appealed to kids and adults and had more contemporary music numbers!. It was the rebirth of Disney in 1989 and by the time 1992 came along with Beauty and the Beast, Disney was on an unstoppable roll with Aladdin, Pocahontas, The Lion King and more that followed!!!!

It holds a lot of memories for me, i think it was one of the first movies i ever saw?, i can remember it as far as my memory takes me! I'll also never forget the day when my friend pointed out that the Priest during the Eric/Ursula wedding ceremony has a boner! haha.......well, it looked like he did, it was actually his knee.

They just released Pinocchio on Blu Ray a few months ago, Beauty and the Beast is next in line for the HD treatment. Let's hope TLM gets a HD release soon as well!

FLAP ON ARIEL!

New Moon, new hope?The official poster for the second film in the Twilight Saga has leaked online! [click the pic to see the full image].......i like it, it captures the SOAP OPERA storyline of the second story and the BLOSSOMING threeway romance between the main characters nicely. Will the next film in the series FIX the errors of the first film though? let's take a look shall we.....

It's no news that i'm a BIG Twilight fan, the books are kick ass and i fucking LOVED reading them. The Twilight movie however for me was a BIG disappointment! there was so much wrong with it that i don't even know where to begin [again]. Don't get me wrong, these aren't the complaints of a loon fan who couldn't ever be satisfied, in fact, a lot of what was great about the book WAS in the film. It followed the book closely and the characters were as they should be [most of the time]. My main problem lay with a few cast choices and some of the script. There was NO WAY they were going to capture the deep love of Edward and Bella in the movie, i knew that from day 1. On paper, it's a beautiful read, but on screen it falls fairly flat and it comes across much more wishy washy than it actually is. I was willing to let that slide if the rest of the movie delivered.....but as i said, it didn't, so what are the pro's and con's of the NEXT film?

The Cast: We have some really great new additions to the New Moon cast with Michael Sheen and Dakota Fanning coming on board as vampires. Also, werewolf Jacob [forgot the name of the actor who plays him] gets his time in the spotlight as well. He was the best actor in the first movie, his role was small, but he looked right for the part and that little brief moment he had with Bella on the beach and Bella and Edward at the end of the film was a good teaser of what he could bring to the dynamic of the relationship in later films. He's perfectly cast.
As for the remaining cast, Katherine Stewart [Bella] will forever SHIT me as Bella, her line delivery in the first movie was ATROCIOUS and i doubt she'll get much better in this one, especially with her character in the book becoming even more of a whiner. Rob Pattinson [Edward] is BEAUTIFUL, but was a little STIFF in the first film. In the scenes where he was more relaxed [Bella and Edward in his bedroom, and when they first kiss] he was great, but when it came to him speaking of his love for Bella, i didn't believe a word of it. He's a capable actor so hopefully he grows into his role a little more this time around.

The Story: The first film was always going to be a tricky one to pull off, most of the story in the movie revolves around Bella and Edward falling in love, other than that.....the rest was fairly straight forward. With New Moon, we get a MUCH more fleshed out story, there's more action, more characters and a GREAT ending. New Moon was MADE to be a movie!

The Direction: Catherine [forgot her last name], Director of the first film did an ok job. She gave the movie good atmosphere and directed well enough. However she wasn't right for New Moon, and thankfully the studio have a new person, it's some guy, can't remember his name......anyway........with Full Moon taking on a bit more of a masculine vibe with the introduction of the werewolves, it was a smart choice to bring in a MAN for the job. And with book 3 building up to an all out WAR between vampires and werewolves, they've hired another new Director for that one too......another MALE one. We need some BALLS in this series!

The Budget: I didn't mind the effects in the first film, but they were working on a tight budget and some people thought it was obvious. Thankfully the budget gets a big increase this time around........and they'll NEED it with werewolves changes coming into play! Also, judging from what i can see in the new poster, they seemed to have changed the colour pallet for the movie which i'm REALLY happy with. The blues and grays of the first film were perfect, but with more of an Earthy feel to the second book, the browns and greens used in the poster will provide a nice change of atmosphere for New Moon.

I have a feeling we have a MUCH stronger chance of getting something decent this time around. Hopefully the new roles even out the SHITTY acting from a few of the older cast members. And with a new Director, we may have a cooler vision for the next chapter in the series. So far all is looking good, and as a Twilight fan, i want it to CONTINUE being good. The books deserve more than second rate slosh like the first movie..........fingers crossed ;)

"Live long and prosper!"
Yes, famous words from 'Star Trek', speaking of ST, i went and saw the new J.J. Directed movie......hmmm, not a bad lil' film, it's all spacey and shooty and Kirky. It still couldn't convert me into a Trekkie though, it just doesn't seem to have the pull i expect from it for me to become a fanboy. In saying that though, i'd probably label myself a Trek fan before i labeled myself a Star Wars one, seriously, FUCK Star Wars! i fucking hate that shit. It seems like Chris Pine [who plays the new Kirk in ST] is making people all over the world swoon with his "good looks", but i still can't catch up with the bandwagon. Sure he's decent looking, but he just doesn't do it for me, his face is just.....awkward to me. Weird balloon long lips, red shot diamond shaped eyes and weird eye brows, i dunno.........it's all a bit strange. Maybe i'm experiencing a bit of "DEFORMED" judgment though, because the one guy IN the film that seemed to give my lustful desires a buzz was.................SPOCK! yes, i know, pointy ears, inverted eyebrows, faux Beatles hairdo.......it doesn't scream sexy does it?, lol...............but oddly enough, i found him pretty sexy!. You can point and laugh if you want, but that black chic in the movie, 'Youhoo' or whatever her name was..........she wanted his dick baaaaad! seriously, and i could tell why! it was his intellect, the inability to be able to reach him easily, he was........"interesting"......you just wanted to fuck the "silence" out of him! ugh!

Anyway, Star Trek aside, one person who didn't see ST this weekend was singer Rihanna!........how do i know this? well, because she was too busy bending over and showing the whole world her UMBRELLA! She gives new meaning to her album title "Good Girl Gone Bad".........haha. Chris Brown must be happy.


Other than burying myself in some Kill Bill soundtrack love [yes, i JUST heard both albums in full, i know, 10 years later], it's been another quiet week in Stevenville. Unless of course you count my day drooling and lusting over my overbearing need to buy a new laptop and HD tv for myself!.......soon enough, those will be mine, i'm sure......or at least i hope. At least this week i can look forward to EUROVISION! yay!

Make some noize....Ciara
Album: Fantasy Ride
[2009]
3.5/5


Poor brave Ciara, she was so desperate for a hit she decided to jump on the OVERLY tired Timberlake bandwagon which every #1 wannabe seems to be doing [i'm looking at you too Madonna!]. When i put away my personal opinion about annoying Timbertwat's over exposure, i am able to see that she has come up with a decent enough album to bother a download/purchase. The standard crunky Ciara jams are sprinkled around ['High Price', 'G Is For Girl'], the newer more synthy r&b/pop light stuff is there too, which can be pretty good at times ['Pucker Up', 'Keep Dancing On Me'] and the ballads have thankfully taken a fresher electro direction as well............fresh for Ciara anyway.
It's a mixed bag, there's a handful of really cool moments, another handful of less interesting but listenable moments ['Love Sex Magic', 'Work'] and a few pretty bland shitty tunes ['Like A Surgeon', it's an out of tune mess].
The deluxe bonus tracks elevate the album a little more i'd say, i think the Deluxe is worth the purchase, but for the standard album, maybe just stick to downloading it.
Cici tried, and i give her credit for that, it's a pleasant listen and i'm playing it frequently, so it definitely has it's good points, but so much of it has been heard before, so don't expect any major surprises.

Suck fest!
Australia has JUST finished it's run of True Blood season 1 on TV!!!! and what a run it was!!!! naked men running through forests, graveyard sex, tic tac snapping fangs, Ryan Kwanten's hot sexy naked self, dog men! i could go on and on!. And lucky for me, we are getting season 2 soon after the U.S get it too! so i won't have to wait too long for my neck biting weekly FEAST!
I know what you're all thinking, "why don't you just download the episodes as they become available", sadly for me, my computer can barely take an album download these days let alone a 5000 mb tv show download, it's on it's last legs, AND SO IT SHOULD BE, i've had this computer for 6 bloody years, need a new one badly!. As you can see unfortunately, [pulls out empty pockets], i don't have the cash for such an expensive PLEASURE PURCHASE atm!........what i CAN afford though is TRUE BLOOD on Blu-ray in a month! gonna relive that awesome ish on HD all over again!!!! i may even pick up where i left off from my True Blood books [book 4, booooring!]........we'll see.
Until 'Twilight' can prove to be a decent movie franchise [fingers crossed for 'Newl Moon'], i'll stick to my True Blood orgasms for my fang fix.

WOO! Bill, bite it!

Revisiting...Buffy The Vampire Slayer [1992]
Starring: Kristy Swanson, Luke Perry
Directed by: Fran Rubel Kuzui
1/5

Wow, what a mess, it's been YEARS since i've seen this, i've been meaning to check it out again for a long time. I wasn't expecting much, and Joss Whedon [creator and writer of the movie and series later on, in case you don't know] has been very open about the fact that even though he is credited as the writer of the film, his story and script was changed very dramatically to how it was originally, which probably explains why the movie turned out to be such a fucking piece of shit, lol.
Even though script changes were made, every now and again a bit of Joss leaks into the dialog, and it got a few genuine chuckles from me in a couple parts. Overall though, the dialog is atrocious, it's like a teenager wrote the script.
The cast were decent enough i guess, the only one that really stuck out like a sore thumb was Donald Sutherland. I've heard he was a real mong to work with on the film, and it comes across in the role, he looks so bored throughout the whole thing. In fact, his "death scene" was HILARIOUSLY bad lol. I'm not surprised he was so bitter making this movie, he must have noticed how utterly dire the whole thing was lol. Kristy Swanson was good in the role, sure she couldn't act, but it's not like she needed to be a good actress in this mess anyway. You could see a bit of that Buffy spark in her eyes every so often thanks to the Buffy-esque writing, but OBVIOUSLY she isn't anything when compared to Sarah Michelle Gellar who was cast as Buffy in the tv show [as most of you know] and did an EPIC job!
The movie was made on a very low budget, and you can tell lol, it's not even B grade, it's like.......Z GRADE! lol.......it's awfully cheap looking, the effects are shit and the vampires look like home made Halloween make up jobs.

There really aren't ANY redeeming qualities in this movie. It gets 1 star thanks to the minor Joss vibe it has, but really............it's fucking crap beyond words. A shame, i wanted to like it a bit more, even on a shit level.......but seriously, it's just shit in every way.

Watch the series, avoid this like the mother fucking PLAGUE!

Long time no see!
Ok so, i've been a bit quiet lately, but i wanted to take a bit of a break from the whole "weekly update" shit that i was doing......but i'm back now.....well...for the time being anyway, heh. So, brief updates?....hmm, let's see......well.....i don't work at my PRECIOUS lil' Gym anymore, got taken over by some snake woman who didn't seem to need my services anymore, FUCK HER!, right?....yeah!

What else?.....hmmm, oh yes! WINTER COMETH! which also means it's only a couple months away from being the MIDDLE of the year already, yes.....i'm also scared! No matter how fast each year flies by, it never surprises me when i get to that 6 month mark and realize it's all going by as fast as fuck all over again! sigh.

That's about it, lol...........i'd like to give you all some riveting tale about how things have been for the few months i was gone, but hey, i don't......BUT i do have something cool to show you.......it's the new video clip by PEACHES...........it's called 'Talk To Me', it's kind of my LIFE atm! eat it up bitchez!

1, 2 Freddy's coming for you!
For years i've thought A Nightmare On Elm St would do well as a remake! and i'm finally getting my wish! It was rumored country yokel Billy Bob was going to be cast as Freddy, but since he's too busy loosing the plot in radio interviews....i guess they went with someone else! THEY CAST THAT PEADO FROM THAT SEX MOVIE 'LITTLE CHILDREN'!!!!...........he was also in Watchmen......anyway....

Jackie Earle Haley is Freddy Krueger in "Nightmare on Elm Street" Back in February, LatinoReview reported that Jackie Earle Haley (Rorschach from "Watchmen") was being considered to star as Freddy Krueger in the upcoming "A Nightmare on Elm Street" reboot. During the interviews that followed, Haley first denied the rumor, but then said that he has spoken to Platinum Dunes about potentially taking the role. Now, Bloody-Disgusting has learned that Haley is now in final talks, which means that unless something unexpected happens, Haley is our new Freddy Krueger. The site has also just learned that Kyle Gallner (The Haunting In Connecticut) is in final talks to play Quentin, the podcast host that Johnny Depp played in the original film. Director Samuel Bayer is getting ready to begin filming at the end of the month in Chicago. The new movie is scheduled to hit theaters on April 16th, 2010. worstpreviews.com
