sweet retroism


Last night was pretty boring so i ended up watching motorhead's and ice T's "born to raise hell" on youtube and that's when i remebered the ice T and soulja boy's brawl/feud/"beef".I had found the whole thing hilarious.Ice T and soulja boy?come on!we had a legend trying to dis an upcoming artist and what they ended up doing was ruin their reputation.But i had to side with ice T,i totally understand how he feels ,anyone who hates "crank dat" would.(superman that oh?).the fact is that you cant compare good music to the crap they dish out today,im not talking about just hip hop(not a huge fan :P)take rock for instance the greatest music came from the 70's and 80's..i mean i still listen to acdc,i still worship metallica and i still rock out to ace of spades and just to prove my point there were no Jonas brothers back then.The 90's weren't bad either remember all those cartoons with wicked rock and metal themes and openings(swat cats ftw!).

The good thing is that all things retro are staging a major comeback chucks,aviators,muscle cars and colour(seriously i was getting tired of all the "emo"ism),one thing i cant stand are the remakes and remixes( makes me want to go on a huge rampage)have you seen the new speed racer and transformers cartoons?the guys who made it massacred my childhood.kids today think that "ben 10" is the best thing that ever happened to them and i sigh and shake my head.'nuff said,they don't make things like they used to(except for games but the 90's gave us contra,street fighter2 and bionic commando :D).So lets do this world a favour and pray"new" artists like soulja boy wont pop up anymore.

the movies that killed the comic book

Ive seen a lot of people post a blog on "the best comic book movies"and it generally comprises of the following:

v for vendetta
the watchmen
batman tdk and begins
300
spiderman
xmen 1
sin city
road to perdition etc.

but there are some weird stuff too,here's my list of the worst comic book adaptations



hellboy II:the golden army:
Hellboy 2 was like halo you either hate it or love it.I belong to the segment that hates this movie and i was pretty surprised to know that it was 88% fresh on the tomatometer.I may have liked it if i were ten years younger but i barely stayed awake through the entire movie.prince nuada was played exceptionally well by Luke Goss and Abe was given more screen time which was pretty cool.

xmen 3
This movie was a disaster,when i heard Brian singer was leaving the franchise to direct superman i never thought it would be noticeable.Brett Ranter thought that he could compensate for the weak plot by introducing a lot of mutants(screwed up versions).He gave us an emotionally distraught wolverine which sucked!As if that weren't bad enough he casts Vinnie Jones as the juggernaut(im the juggernaut bitch!)


batman & robin:
This movie nearly killed the entire franchise,who in their right mind would caste george clooney as batman?and then they take weirdness to a whole new level,batsuits were designed with frikkin nipples on them.Clooney could have pleased his female fans later.



punisher warzone:
well the punisher released in 04 seems semi classical when you compare it with this heap of junk


elektra
Director rob bowman probably thought that we would spend more time gawking at jennifer garner rather than paying attention to the plot,characters and dialogue.Will yun lee plays the baddie who speaks in clichés "We meet again!"...."It ends now!".....the last movie that used stuff like this was home alone.Frank Miller must have been real pissed.

catwoman:
absolute rubbish!



the spirit:it should have been "scream out in agony.".


barbwire:
the comic book lasted for 9 issues.the movie lost out to striptease at the razzies.


steel:
shaq was doctor john henry irons for 1hr and 37 mins.he uses his smart hammer to snipe people,how good could this movie possibly be?and why doesn't anyone shoot him in the jaw?cheap robocop rip off.

introduction and the transformers:revenge of the fallen movie review


well my exams were done and one uneventful road trip and a couple of movies later i was suddenly jobless.Well thats when i decided to start a blog,with every other bozo in town having one i almost felt impotent for never even attempting to start one but i never had the time to actually sit down and share my thoughts with a random bunch of people.So here i am sharing my views/thoughts on movies,games,sports,politics,comics,anime,food,college,cartoons,celebs,music,annoying kids etc.

be warned people my father calls me a "critic"(hence the blog name),so feel free to sympathize or criticize my views and please correct my spellings.


Anyway i watched "transformers:revenge of the fallen" today and to say the least i wasn't impressed.Its one of those movies where you realize how annoying your younger brother could be(that is if you were unfortunate enough to actually sit next to him at the movies).Michael bay could have named it "megan fox is hot!" and i am pretty sure it would have sold more tickets.
The movie consisted of a lot of running,yelling, loads of cheesy one liners,toilet humor(the horny dog joke got old with "click"),MEGAN FOX and a bit of auto bots.The fact that Optimus prime was dead for around 3/4th of the movie pissed me off,most of the autobots made cameo appearances and little kids were wondering why bumblebee didnt have more screen time.
The graphics were top notch and we get to watch prime's,bumblebees anime influenced fight scenes(3 in total),we get to watch a superhot megan fox playing the role of a dream girlfriend,we get to see megan fox on a bike,we get to see megan fox run in slo mo,and we get to hear all the people around you go "oooooh" when they see megan fox.
The movie is dragged on unneceassarily for 2 and a 1/2 hours, it would have been better if it were shorter.


i would rate it 5/10

i recommend this movie for those of you who:
1.would love to see an amalgam of power rangers and black hawk down(minus the gore)
2.have got annoying younger brothers
3.are below 15
4.have got lots of money and dont have any clue on how to spend it



i firmly discourage people who:
1.loved the cartoons
2.didnt like the first movie
3.loved the first movie
4.despises bullshit
