Isn´t it just a bit ironic?





















Some of the news that has been big the last days, beside the usual things like genocide, political corruption, war and some boats that has been neglected to sail - those things are on the other hand a different story.

We all know that more or less every country wants to control and read or listen to what we, the people, has to say or write in our spare time. We have in some case "accepted" it, it seems like we don´t mind being raped mentally and having our freedom to think robbed before our own eyes and mouth.

So when a tabloid does it, a big uproar and a parlament crisis is unfolding; News of the world and the UK parlament - what does happen? They simply pull the cord, or to be honest, they (in this case the owner Rupert Murdoch) says that the tabloid will cease to excist.
It is ofcourse the hacking of cellphones of celebritys that have made Murdoch pull the plug.

So what about the irony? And what about the drawing?
The irony is that one man can stop a newspaper to listen/read about-on-from what some people have been writing/texting and talked about.
Becouse they are "important" persons (celebs and the "royal family"). Poor people.

But what about the rest of us then?
Are we gagged, like the woman in the drawing?
Do we got a chance to reopen the inhuman law that makes it justified to read what we send in mails to our friends and with a smile on our faces seal and throw it away?
Ofcourse not, I´m not that naive. But do I hope for it? Yes I do.

A journalist should be working for the people, so when are they gonna ask the right questions - to the right people - and do we got to listen?

I bet this event could become a great comic. Oh me and my naughty mind ^_^;


An interresting documentary - not saying it is 100% correct..
OUTFOXED : Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6737097743434902428#


Note;
The drawing was made in september 2009 (? - not sure) and has nothing to do with the event.

Oh, just so you know - those of you who follows this blog - you who wanna control things I mean - I´m going to bed now. When I wake up I will jerk off and...hey, I might censor myself -don´t like censorship so there you go.
Goodnight and do take care - each and everyone of you; even those of you who blindly follows the inmoral zombies of the leaders with no heart. Yes, shame on you.

Sucker Punch


















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0978764/
At Lennox psychiatric hospital Baby doll (Emily Browning) arrives. She and her younger sister has been - as seen in the trailer - have been attacked by her stepdad.









We are made believed that it is an incest of some kind, but the only thing we see are Baby dolls shirt being pulled and a buttom fly from her dress and lands on the floor - in Zack Snyder slowmotion style.









While at the psychiatric the guards seems to be slimey and creepy without any morals whatsoever. Kind of giving the impression that these guards probably has or can do some sexual- assualt any given minute.

So far so good, right? And we are only a few minutes into this movie. …and then it shifts, completly.
Sucker punch has more or less devided movie lovers in two different sides, those who Love it and those who (almoust) hate it.
Visually it is in the same style has Snyders earlier movies; 300 and Watchmen. That is it is somehow a feast for the eyes and when it has Emily and
Jamie Chung in the cast, I understand why.







Sucker punch is a videogame/comicbook adaption that uses the latest skills from the wizards of SF effects. So if you feel to sit back, enjoy the ride and escape into a world created by guys who somehow revolutionize the world of cinema, sucker punch is a movie for you. But it´s also a movie about escapismhment (not sure if that´s a world to begin with).

The trauma the girls at the psychiatric has to deal with makes them fantasize about the world and the enemys within.









But our heroin girls can´t only fantasize (the fantasize part is however done by the men while they watch Baby doll dance) they also can kick some serious ass. Sometimes they fly across the rooms themself and get seriously beaten - PG13 style.









It may at first hand sight seems like an movie like nothing you have seen before, but it borrows from movies such as Lord of the rings trilogy (the storming of the castle and the monsters that live there are spot on to the Uruk-hai). Also it uses the camera to pan closely arround different items - wich some think it´s so refreshing and new - it has been used for many many years however in Hong Kong and Japanese movies, later on it became known for the wider public when The matrix hit the big screen. Even the slowmotion takes where the females carachters hair - often the bangs/their hairstyle

is used to slowly fly across the girls face - also done before for several decades in asian movies.





Strangely enough, Sucker punch is somewhat original and a enjoyable experience to watch. But if it only could have continued the way it started.

- Hmmm.. female and she´s 20..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I don´t know what you did to this girl and frankly I don´t wanna know.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Don´t worry, she won´t even remember her name when I´m done with her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Blue saving her for the high roller.
- Huh, she ain´t no virgin.
-----------------------------------------------------
- The fantasy of freedom is all they have.

Amer


















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1426352/
I don´t really know how to describe this movie. But let´s try atleast.
Mix in the cinematography from Susperia - the use of colors and the suspensfull scenes. Also add some of the italian trademark from the late 70s and early 80s - extreme zooming in on the eyes, for example, and other bodyparts. Mix in some sensuality, eroticism from the movie Lolita and try to do it with todays standards, without any necesserly dialoge. Feel like this would suite you? Then, you will love, adore and feel confused when you see Amer.

However, it is somehow unfair to mention these movies becouse Amer is a movie that anyone can appriciate and love. You may not understand - don´t get me wrong on this - but the beauty of this artistic poetic surrealistic semi ghost story is simply mindblowing in all it´s freedom.

Ana enfant - The young Ana (Cassandra Forêt) lives with her mother (Bianca Maria D'Amato) in an big old house, in the big old house an older woman lives next door to Anas room. What happens in that episode has much meaning to what happens in the second episode, Ana adolescente - where Ana are a teen, now played by Charlotte Eugène Guibeaud and here is the erotic parts happens that in some way reminds me of Lolita.

Marie Bos as Ana adule; Ana the elder. Her erotic visions and somehow nightmarish fantasy towards men is filmed in such a way that you almoust feel ashamed for watching it. Not only the cab scene where her panic turns her on, but also the bathtub scene later on.
I will not try to review Amer any further, becouse this is a masterpiece you have to see and understand for yourself.

Remember this when you watch Amer.
This is a tribute to the artform itself.
Amer is a story told in picture, colors, sounds, excellent camerawork.
It might be a subtile horror movie, but Amer is somehow a lovestory, For the love of cinema and all the dreams it creates.

A definitive Must Have. For everyone.

No stills this time becouse first thing; it would be unjustice for the movie and for you.
Second; You have to see this for yourself.

Sentô shôjo: Chi no tekkamen densetsu



















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1590796/
Rin (Yumi Sugimoto) is a bullied 16year old girl, actually she is only 15, but she 10minutes into the movie get celebrated by her parents on her 16th birthday.
The girls at school think she is somekind of freak and throw shoes at her and knocks her out cold. There is something thou about her hand that has mysterious powers.














The movie however starts with 3 girls attacking some men with machineguns attached to their noses (seemingly the machineguns looks like a mans penis).
Heads being sliched and mutates into big ballons and brains and other messy stuff fly all over the place.













So, at Rins birthday party her dad (wonderfully played by Kanji Tsuda) tells her about her special powers. Rin ofcourse is chocked, but suddenly some men with machine guns attached to their noses walks in.

Rin is being chased down the street and a local news reporter and her camera crew follows her and some memorable quotes and funny scenes happens.

Right from the start we are more or less told the moral of the story, presented in a funny splattering way that only japanese film directors can do; some of us are different but in all our differences we are all capable of doing great things.
It is also a spoof or tribute to the classic tale on X:Men.
The director Noboru Iguchi also pays tribute to his classic Hajirai mashin gâru.













Even a tribute to the most classic scene in Cannibal Holocaust is here.













Rin is being taken to a place where she will learn to control her special powers and she also gets an cute assistent named Yoshie
(also a tribute to Hajirai mashin gâru) who this time is played by the cute Suzuka Morita.











Rin is being trained and even slightly tortured with electric.

Noboru Iguchi - the director/screenwriter, is soon a living legend, if he allready isn´t one.
This movie has so many great quotes and scenes that if I would write them all down it would be to much, so I sudgest you buy this movie as soon as possible.
If you don´t find this movie hillarious then you have no sense of humor ^_^
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you want to live as a human, you better start working on it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- May I ask you a question?
- You are no … homo sapiens
- Huh?
-------------------------------------------
- Suck my sword!
---------------------------------------------------------
- I wont mind being reincarnated as a baguette.
- That is really cute.
---------------------------------------------------------
- Rin you are something special.
- Me, someone special?
- Sure.

Histeria


















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1307930/
5 young student girls have done one prank to many and the teachers and the headmaster agrees on giving them a punishment during a weekend. They will clean the school and the area around during three days and while being there they start to tell the new girl Zeta (Reanna) about some killings that have happened in the school a few years ago.

Histeria starts however with the girl Murni (Liyana Jasmay) walking through the hallway with her wrist full of cuts and her dress soaked in blood, she later on ends up in a hospital where the doctor and the police tries to solve what has happened with her and all the other girls.

The girls summon and evil spirit














It mixes drama, more like a coming to age type of movie, with gory killscenes and what grabs me the most; the lesbian tense



that somehow filters every scene (atleast halfway into the movie) and the feeling that something bad can happen at any second.
The second part of the movie it twists into a monster slasher and in one of the final scenes where two of the girls sits in a car, won´t give away who it is, is a really good moment that somehow sums up the entire movie in a way.

The acting of the girls is solid and believable, they feel like real girls and not like girls who act - much like the girls in Bunshinsaba was. See review of that one here http://pekinobo.blogspot.com/2010/07/bunshinsaba.html

This was the first Malaysian horrormovie I´ve seen and I´m looking forward to see more from this country.

Peter the Great?

Maybe we or I should still call him Peter the greatest.

Peter Forsberg, he played hockey like no other, I´m not a hockey memoribelia so sue me or something. The way he played, puck/stick handling, skating, used his body to check - and... to N-E-V-E-R back down from anyone.
I checked NHL and the pressconference where Peter said he was retiering fully now. And then two sports newchastor talked about how great Peter was, usually things like that makes me feel uncomfortable, you see it can easily be a big propaganda about retaretment player. So I wrote my own words

Peter for me was in the same leauge as Igor Larionov, Sergei Fedorov, Pavel Bure, Alexander Mogilny, Jagomir Jagr ans Teemu Sellänne

Peter. Your in Halll of fame in my book. Have some fun now and enjoy your life,

Your career has just ended but forever remember the years, the matches, the players, the wins, the public roar as the announcment call out your name and the perfect game for us vieewers, well all we heard from you was; I sucked!!!!


Peter the Greatest Forsberg, will you pleace tackle me one day????? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS
I can´t skate.
Best of everything for you.The best deserves the best!!!!!
Stay stong and proud Peters.

Trolljegeren


















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1740707/
The best movie of 2010. Nothing else is actually needed to be said.

3 young students, 2 guys and one girl, are making a documentary about beerkillers and they find a mysterious man that they suspect to be behind all of the killing.
Our group of students follow him to an camping place and the mysterious man leaves every night and comes back at dawn. The students follows him one night and seemingly looses tracks of him, they sneak into the woods with their camera and sound equipment, the mysterious man comes running towards them and shouting TROLL!!!!

The screenwriter/director André Øvredal mixes in some of the ideas of Blairwitch project and real documentary filmmakers work; a joke towards Michael Moore and his work.
But mostly this is an highly original and entertaining fake documentary and the trolls are impressivly done. If you thought that the big monsters in Lord of the ring was something special, you Do need to see this one.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- People want natural explanations.
- But if you know what to look for, you´ll see what´s caused by trolls.

The terminators


















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1350512/
In the suburbs of Los Angeles humanlike robots (cyborgs) goes on a killingspree, they have turned against humans. A cybertech warfare program has gone way out of hand and we have seen movies like this before the terminator quadrology for example.
The cyborgs (actually just one actor who they have duplicated into various scenes) are big, buffed, muscular and with no facial expression at all, just like Arnie back in the days, they shoot rather before asking questions. They even has red glowing eyes and one of them heals himself as T-1000 did (after a gunshot) in T-2.

The backstory isn´t exactly needed in a movie like this, action, various acting but with a potential as the original terminator movies had, simply becouse they all are about the same thing.
The special effects (CGI explosions for example)



and the bloodsplatter are thypical b movie and if my ears aren´t going bananas - aren´t the sound bad like if it echoed or something?






A group of survivors flee L.A. and after meeting a man who saves their lifes our group of survivors plans to strike back at the cyborgs before all the humans have died.
It may sound like a really explosive big blockbuster hit, but as many of the b movies with smaller budget they (the movies that is) more concentrate on the caracther driven monologs, in some cases it is understandable in some cases I wonder why some of the big hollywood movies even was made in the first place. The terminators is one of those movies that actually has potential and yes I really like Sara Tomko ..




and yes the movie has it faults and all that but it is something about her presence on screne that just grabs me.





As long as you are fully aware this is a lowbudget b movie you might find it enjoyable in some point and specially if you like tough girls with big guns kind off movies. Sarah Tomko can soon be categorised as a b movie queen as much as Vicky Pratt - whos movies are also lowbudget and done with a passion. Not being biassed since I find both Sara Tomko and Vicky Pratt attractive ^_^

Grizzly Man



















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427312/

A stunning, sometimes surrealistic documentary about Timothy Treadwell who lived 13 summers with wild life grizzly bears in Alaska.
Timothy was in october 2003 killed by a grizzly bear and this is the story about his life.

Early on we see Timothy as some kind off naive man, maybe even a dreamer, who loves bears more then anything. By the scenery, the beautiful landscape of the Alaska wilderness and the beauty of the bears, I can in some way understand him and feel someway the same thing he felt.
Halfway into the documentary, we get another view of Timothy, a man who is maybe more dangerous to himself then the bears was and that is the surrealistic part in this.

Timothy lives close with the bears and consider them as his friends, he even speaks with them as an adult does to children. Timothy was spending most of his time there all alone and it got me thinking, if the lonelyness somehow got the best of him, turning him into this (somehow) naive and lovefull person (his love for the bears).

Werner Herzog, who have done the documentary out of over 100 hours photage that Timothy has shoot narrates us through the story - it actually feels more like a fabricated story then a real life story. Or as Herzog says; It seems to me like this landscape of termoile is a metaphore of his soul.

It is hard to grasp, to understand or to know a man who lived and shoot over 100 hours of his time with the grizzlys, the documentary is in 103 minutes, but we get a somehow reflection of him and his dedication.
If this review or the documentary does Timothys life and passion justice? We will probably never know, but what we do know is that he loved bears more then anything and sometimes that is more then enough.

Kyonyû doragon: Onsen zonbi vs sutorippâ 5


















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1642252/
a.k.a. Big Tits Zombie
From the creator of Kiseichuu: kiraa pusshii comes a zombie movie that contains quotes from Shakespeare and Georges Bataille. References to Italian zombie movies, Italian spagetti westerns, Evil dead, Night of the livning dead and also japanese zombie movies. It is ofcourse none other then Takao Nakano
who have written and directed.












Rena Jodo (Sola Aoi) is a stripper, who have just after a one night stand with a bump (she was actually to drunk and slipped into his cardboard…) gets an offer to be a stripper at a spring resort. She accepts and goes there, she meets Ginko (Risa Kasumi), Maria (Mari Sakurai), Nene (Tamayo) and Dana (Io Aikawa). There are not that many in the audience, but soon there will be many of them there moaning, not so much though after their bodies, but more moaning after their flesh..

It is lowbudget and computer effects or plastic tools or other cheap theatrical props, as for example an well out of stone is actually built out of wood and paper. Renas chainsaw is out of old milk carbons - but it is done good so you don´t think of it that it´s fake. The blood is computer generated in afterwards and for when Rena slice her chainsaw through someones chest, the blood splitter but no mark on the shirt is showing.
We also get head spliced from her chainsaw, samurai swords driven through the back of the head and trough the mouth, attacking flying sushis, breasts sprayed full with blood, infected wounds that plop and plop so they almoust burst, flamethrowing pussies… yeah


, if these premises don´t make you interrested - nothing will. Oh, and a department manager from hell is also in it, he also has a card with he gives Rena, just in case she wont believe him, he is Blue Ogre.





There are a lot of funny scenes, the funniest perhaps is after our girls has had a sumo fight and a small man gives Rena some sake - in hope she will get drunk so he can take her to bed later on. The following conversation starts;




- You´re a strong drinker.
- Yes, I am.
- Hey, will you sleep with me tonight?
- No way! That´s totally out of the question.
- How dare you?
- It´s totally impossible to sleep with a creep like you.
----------------------------------- Cut to next scene Rena in bed with….

The movie is in only 73 minutes and it hasn´t got as many nude scenes as Kiseichuu: kiraa pusshii has. Kyonyû is infact in 3D ^_^
Beside all the close ups on breasts and butts it is a funny movie to watch mostly becouse of the dialogue.
Been a long time since I saw such a rater short movie with so many oneliners and memorable quotes and scenes that fits the acters. I can´t lie, this movie isn´t good, it… it it´s just so funny and that is something I love it for, it kept me entertained and for that the verdict most be; buy it now
