Triangle



















Jess, played by Melissa George, is on a sunny sunday going out with some friends on their yacht.
Jess feels kind of nervous for the sailing but she goes on the boat, one of the girls say that she doesn´t like her and a possible tripple drama, or if want - an triangle drama is about to unfold.

Shortly after they sailed away on the clear blue ocean and the clearblue sky a storm is heading their way.
A ship comes along and the board it, Jess on the other hand feels instantly that something is verry wrong.

Christopher Smith, writer and director - he have done Creep and Severance before, really twists and turns this story maby one time to much.
At first sight Triangle seems like a madman killer movie, it clearly isn´t. It would be unjustice to give away my thoughts on what he wanna say, becouse I think the script is interresting to dive into (lame joke as much as triangle drama was.. yeah right)

I tell you what I think hes "main story" to this movie is about; as much as you want to change the past and/or the future, you can´t do that.

Triangle is set place in the famous Bermuda triangle, wich is a legendary place where many ships and plains is said to have vanished without a trace.
So to put the story there and combine that with the twist(s) and, atleast how I interpirated the story; your future is unwritten is an interresting premis for a thriller.
Or is your future maby allready written?

As long as we move along into the movie, we see various scenes in different "takes" or from different angles. It may sound like a boring movie to watch becouse of that but as it is put together - a mix between something from the Twilight zone series, a relationships drama, and a clear tribute to The shining, Triangle is taking on the path that Hellraiser: Inferno (a.k.a. Hellraiser 5) touched upon - we all have our personal hell that we dwell in. And that, is scary.

Not that this movie is gonna creep you out, it isn´t that gory or disturbing as the Hellraiser franchise is - I actually love all Hellraiser movies.
Triangle is still an entertaining movie to watch, becouse even if you might know how it´s gonna end - it is only the beginning. You will understand when or if you see it.





More reviews will come shortly

Movie lovers

Unite
















We are one of a kind now aren´t we?

Have always seen myself as a huge movie fan, watching movies, writing reviews, looking at covers, rating covers, feeling covers, sleeping with vhs covers.. woh woh.. now I´m getting way out of hand - better erase..damn it, couldn´t do it.

Yeah I have slept with the vhs of Howard the duck... and Exorcist...and cannibal holocaust... can we pleeeeeeeeease move on to the topic now?

Soooo.. was watching a video of jamesnintendonerd - cinnemassacre´s videos, he shows his different formats and versions of movies, beta tape, vhs, dvd, laserdisc and something I never heard of before (CID - a gigantic disk, you know those old disk you had on your computer that had a saving capicity of 3.14MB... the CID however is as big - sizeway - as an LP or laserdisc and could contain much more information bla bla and so on)
Anyway, the most of us I guess, have allready seen some videos of him talking about his passion for movies. So let´s leave it there.

As wroten above (or do you say before?)..

Anyway, have always loved movies, not much into collecting untill recent years.
Some movies I have different "versions" of, different covers and stuff.
So, why do we buy all these different covers anyway it is after all the same movie - different covers may vary from different country/region and/or ofcourse different reeleases such as newer format or special anniversiry for the movie. Still, it is the same movie.
Interresting indeed to think about, or else I wouldn´t writing this.
For me it is mostly the feeling of "maby this reelease is a bit different???" As in new scenes, better quality in sound picture.. or whatever reason it may be.

Never have had any interrest in having different reeleases of a movie "to show off", it is for myself I buy the movies, sure if I can get someone interested in some sort of movie - whatever genre it may be - that is just a bonus, if the movie is good that is.

So, wich is the ultimate movie to own on different formats? I don´t think that movie does exist, some movies will never get an dvd or blue ray reelease (sadly so or the copy is so limited and or out of print so it is more or less impossible to get your hand on) also notable is that I do not yet own any blue ray movie or player, in time I will though.

Some movies, the old classics have the advantage to have multiple reeleases as for beta, vhs, laserdisc, dvd and even on blue ray.

Some movies are on the other hand, not the movie itself, but the whole collecting thing is getting way out of hand.
Not really sure about the exact number here but for the lord of the ring trilogy, how many times did they put those movies out anyway?
The theatrical version
the special version
Directors cut version
Gollum version
Overload massive version
Directurs cut version of theatrical version
Theatrical version of the directurs cut version
Gollums dvd version
??????


Now the big big blockbuster avatar (now pay me some money mister Cameron, this is the second time i "advertise" for your "big big gigantic smurf pocahontas version") is being put up once again in the theaters this summer. Wow, the movie have just got premiere - actually some months ago - and they allready gonna show it again?
Well One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Milos Forman movie, was actually up in theaters for 10 years in stockholm sweden. I doubt that avatar is as good as that though.

But what do I know?
I only buy good movies anyway.

















































The top picture of the 3 girls are from the movie Marock.
A short synopsis;
A muslim girl falls in love with an jewish boy.
So, unite people. Movies may be just movies - they can give us hope, dreams, fantasys, nightmares, scares.. mentaly as physical, laughter, tears. Some actually at the same time

It is someones faulth

it has to.

It is always someones faulth, not your own.

Confusing perhaps.

Anyway. I just checked a video out, the poster is kind a cute hehe that´s the reason why I subscribed in the first place. So...

We all have heard about the neo fascists around the world claiming that muslims try to expand their religion by building mosque where they live. ooooh beware of the muslims they say.

But let´s take a look at when some other religion are spreading "their" religion.

Let´s say that some "muslim country" would promote a movie about what they think is - A big step/accomplisment.
That would surely be the big big talk and buzz now wouldn´t it?
And would that be bad if they did?

Now, there is a movie - a documentary in some way - about christianitys way/progress in - as the tagline says; The new asia.
So, when you hear asia and thinking about religion you mostly thinking of Budda right?
Well there is a big big country that is called India and it has over 1 billion people living there. + 1.000.000.000.
Over 800.000.000 (that is 800 millions) are Hindu. nearly 8 millions are buddhists, 138 millions are muslims, 24 millions are christian...
Close to 40% of the citicens of India follows/practise 2 religions.

In China, another big country... you get my point in this right?

The thing is, is it right or wrong to "promote" religion via movies/documentarys?
Troughout history people have been claiming "their" religion being right (well not all religions has done it, some more violent then others offcourse). Spreading or sharing their believes is a good thing... I guess.

Personally I don´t have any issues against any religion. If people want to believe that is fine with me.
The "issue" here is if it have been a documentary coming out (there might be some allready so what do I know) about some other religion/-s strong and influationing progress in some part of the world where it hasn´t been so strong before. Would people be "confused" or "upset"? I think so. Not sure why though.

And just to make this clear, if I would call myself a religious guy it would be shintoist.
Have friends who are followers of christianity, muslims, buddhism, shintoism, crow (yes the native americans), agnostic.
So, if even a fucked up person as myself can get along with anyone, so can you - either you believe in something or not.

On the other hand; Do not believe, Know.

" No two of the products of creation are alike. From this we know that although the number of things is infinite, at bottom there is nothing without yin or yang [which differentiate them]. From this we know also that the transformations and changes in the universe are due to these two fundamental forces."

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters



















Billy Mitchell is the current world record holder of the arcade game Donkey Kong that he have had during the last 25 years.
Steve Wiebe challanges the record, tapes his world record send it in and does not get recognition for it.
This is the premise of this documentary.

Billy is arrogant and self obscured by his accomplishment in the arcade classic. He got loyal friends that back him up when finally the world record is beaten by Steve.
Steve on the other hand is more like a normal guy, he got a wife and kids, he works as a teacher and only wants a fair change on a head to head match against the legend Billy Mitchell.

As when I first heard about this documentary I though in lines such as, well this is about geeks and gaming. And yes it is, but the way it is presented and edited it sure is one of the most entertainment documentarys that have come out these last years.

We got the perfect build up; old rivalry, the legend and world record holder vs the unknown newcomer. A classic tale presented in a geeky, warm and funny way.

Billys first meet with Steve, you can almoust feel the arrogance. Steve sitting and playing as Billy sneaks behind him - clearly seeing that Steve is playing. Steve turns his head and says -Billy.
Billy doesn´t answer, but adresses his wife "There´s certain people I don´t want spend to much time with."

Billy is, as you can understand an arrogant, mind miliputing person and his oneliners is something you can´t avoid to smile about.

If you get a chance to see this, if you allready haven´t, do watch it. I don´t play arcade games myself harldy any video computer or tv games either, but this is entertainment nevertheless.

Billy
"He knows what to do with the tape. He knows to guard the tape with his life.."

















Steve
"It´s not about the game Donkey kong any more.."

Movie posters

After seeing a cover of a new horror movie named Red hook, I instantly come to think of Carver and babysitter wanted.

Never heard of any of them?
Maby just seen the cover..

So, before I start posting some pics, we all know that the remakes, reboots, spin off, rip offs are overfloding the market right now. Is there any new story to tell?
People don´t like changes so much (obviously), we are used to a certain kind of entertainment and that is pretty understandable, if we (the movie geeks) know what we like, why should we seek for something else? And why should the moviemakers change the succesfull formula?
Many questions and so many many remakes - even when it comes to posters.

Note.
So, is the note not supposed to be at the end, like explaining things?
Belive me, you will understand why I decided to post the "note thing" here.
I haven´t seen all these movies so I can´t comment on the storyline, but as far as some covers goes, there is a resemblance either you like it or not.
Some posters/covers are way better then the movie itself, and as you can see below; À l'intérieur has 2 covers and believe me they are well deserved.


Apparently this is even worse then I thought.























































Some girl in bikini showing her butt might sell a movie, or 2.






















Crossing some knifes?




















Feeling sensual?




















They even have done it before, copying movieposters that is.






































Sometimes the even use the same acter but "reverse" the poster





















About now your head is about to crack open..





































Broken? Sure you are.





















We need something fresh, something new.. and Quentin Tarantino was the chosen one..
Ok this one was farfetched, but see the "acid trip colours" and that face






















A lonely man walks on a road after the holocaust or something like that. It symbolizes mans last hope, or something similuar




















More brighter and romantic costume dramas? Same old story, use a splitscreen, put one image above the other, or was it one picture below the other? Tricky one.




















The world of horror, so much simpler isn´t it? Get a house in the woods and put some red layer across the filther and voila´, you got yourself a poster.





















Sneaking posters





















Face to face while possibly screaming posters









Take care ^_^

Various things

I am so tired, as always. So I have to relax some and write about stuff that.. whatever.

Being confused about a number of things recently.

Some weeks ago I was writing to a friend in japanese, some in korean, some in french, some in english.. offcourse, you "know me" I got it all mixed up totally in the end. Answered one of them in japanese - she is french. Judge by her surprise when she read the text and understood absolutelly Nothing. Hey she´s smart but I am an asshole haha..

or was it the other way around? Writing in french when she was japanese? You get the picture now don´t you. I mix up things completely lately.
I am amazed that I can find my own bed sometimes..

on the other hand, have fainted 2 times during the last 3 days. Have woke up on the floor - so I can´t apparently find my bed..might sell it, the bed that is. But with all the mixed up things lately there is a chance that I sell my DVD collection - just by misstake.

Anyway.
The moviescripts goes ok.
The comics goes better.

And a new issue of a BDSM comic magasine is on it´s way also. ordered and shipped some hours ago

Did some moviereviews some hours ago. Now 353 members, way to go. Hey it´s more then 352 so, stay possitive.

Also, realised I didn´t have any shoes on while going outside for a smoke... this can not end well. On the other hand I was drawing feets, nope ain´t a foot fetish - simply becouse feet tends to smell and you smell with oyur? Give me an answer and you might win a trip to Bahamas (you pay for the ticket but hey you might be as easily fooled as me..)

Noses... what can I say? Adore them.

Misses Momo sans nose so much. Kono ai wa eien Momo san "HUFF" <----- Always write that after mentioning her, so don´t get "worried" that I mix up things now...behave dear anonymous reader.

anonymous, I like my anonymous life..on the other hand some girl (hold your horses, she was 20..maby 21. She came up and say (translated to english)
Girl -emh..hello.
pekinobo- hello (was confused)
girl - emh..(giggles) are you pekinobo?
pekinobo - eeemh, yes I am.

She then looked over her shoulder and then back to me and sayd.
- can you sign my pants? She was unzipping them so her thongs where vissuable,
-Sign here, she said and pointed.
-I sign on a peace of paper I told her.
So I did.
Went away and after some minutes I started to think to myself. Who was she and how did she know me?
Does she live nearby?
Why wanted she a autograph inside of her jeans?
------ and why didn´t I ask for a favour?
Like touching her nose? She wouldn´t probably like it, but I would have I guess...you see, I forgot to look at her nose as we was talking.

Clumpsy me.

19 DVDs are on it´s way in here in 1-2 weeks time.

Did I write about Marock? The first movie of Morjana Al Alaoui? I got that now but haven´t seen it yet.









Later on she did Martyrs

The search for Chelsea King

Just got the news on this tragic horrific shit. <--- Excuse my language.

People goes really apeshit about the whole thing, posting comments that all sex offenders should be killed, whiped out and posting other hatefull comments.
Believe me, I know how you feel. The anger, frustration on all this - it is simply human reactions, it is.

The suspected has accordingly to the reports been assulting a 13year old and a 14 year old some years ago. Did you actually read that shit? We´re not talking about assulting a +20year girl/woman (that is shit whatever age, so don´t get me wrong) But a child?
I don´t wanna see Anyone having their life taken away -Not Anyone. This madness has to stop, in one way or another.

Sure, as stated above; I do understand that people wanna have "justice" and the guilty one gone forever. But believe me, Do Not Walk Down That Path Of Hatred.
The monster you fear and hate (rightfully so), you may become one yourself.

Yes it is easy to "jump on the bandwaggon" shouting kill him and them.

This is Not ment to be a disrespectfull post to Chelsea or her family. I might not even post this.

The Chile earthquake.
The Haiti earthquake.
America bombing, still, the shit out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan...

...and you sorry ass people still wanna see more death?

I can´t believe anyone of you. Sorry but I can´t.


One of my closests friends ever (she´s asleep now since 3 years), she got drugged, gangraped for 3 days.
She didn´t wanted anyone to know, If I would tell what happened I sure be killed... on the other hand, I died after she told me what have happened.
