Inception

1) This movie did a good job of confirming my ADD, I was restless as hell for the last hour of the movie.

2) I don't get it. During most of the movie it was like I was trying to figure out one of those logic problems that were on the LSAT. There's the 3 dreams they have and then there's never never land. That seemed simple enough but the last hour of the movie seemed stupidly redundant. The dude is trying to get them to kick awake, the van is falling, and the shootout is happening out in Iceland. This scene must have lasted for like 40 minutes and it was the same thing over and over again. If I had it in me I'd flip it back to see the first time the kid from 10 things I hate about you tried to tip them to the time he got in the elevator. It had to have been like 45 minutes.

3) But then again maybe that was the point of the movie. Maybe they wanted you to think you were in a dream the whole time and that you wish you could get out of this ridiculously long scene at the end. Who knows. I know most of America wished to stay in that inception dream but I was one of those people that couldn't wait to get the hell out.

4) I didn't get the ending at all. So the guy got old because he had to go into oblivion and then they woke up. Seems like a pretty mediocre revelation. And the ending was pretty jitsu; I mean who really cares if the thing was spinning or not. Was it a dream, wasn't it a dream? I don't care.

5) The first part of the movie was really good when you don't really know whats going on and this crazy shit keeps happening. But then when you realize what's going on they shoulda made a fucking move out of there.

6) I don't know if I can reiterate how bad the ending was. Remember the end of the 3rd lord of the rings? You get so happy that the movie is almost over and you can't stop thinking about what you're gonna do now that the fucking thing is over. But then it takes another hour, and all that happens is them running around all happy that they found the ring while you just want to cry. It's like that only they just keep fucking around in this dream.

Maybe it's just because I feel like scrooge but this one was a turd

Jack Frost

This made me give up all hope in Christmas scary movies.

1) The snowman is really stupid. It's like he can die by melting him but then he always resurrects himself in this whipped cream mixture even if its not cold out. It doesn't make any sense.

2) The scene where he like forces himself onto that chick in the bathtub was fucked up. Even though he's a stupid snowman I dunno why that thought that was a good idea.

3) I thought the movie was over like an hour into it but then it just kept going and going and going. Jesus Christ, how many times can the stupid snowman die and come alive again. I'm forgiving for Michael Myers, but not the snowman that everyone wants dead.

Dear god I hope I review a good movie soon

Ice Queen

Dear god this was horrible. I don't even know where to start and don't want to waste another second of my life on such a bad movie.

F

New Year's Evil

1) It has a lot of jitsu going on. Midnight happens at the beginning of the movie but then a wreck of clocks keep showing it as being before midnight during the rest of it. And what was up with the guy licking the panty hose? And as someone who can get their party on, that might have been one of the lamest New Year's parties ever.

2) The killers pretty goofy too. He reps this Richard Nixon look a like mask and he breathes through this stupid tube when he calls the chick to tell her about the killings. To top it off he jumps off the building at the end, falls like 22 floors but then is somehow alive at the end even after the ambulance takes off with his body? Who knows.

3) The scariest part of the whole movie was just at the end where he gets on the roof. Heights give me the heebie jeebies and my hands get real sweaty whenever I think about em. My computer's currently paying the price.

For how short this movie was supposed to be it seemed like it just dragged on for forever.

D-

Black Christmas (1974)

1) Holy god is the drunk girl good looking in this movie. Sch-wing.

2) The killer was kind of boring. He's not really creepy but just seems like some weird kid you went to high school with that just talked non stop about the video game club he was in but then went psycho.

3) The phone calls were pretty spooky. Makes me glad that they came up with caller I.D. because prank calls would creep me out pretty easy.

4) To be honest, I got really bored during the movie. It's like a bunch of goofy looking sorority kids who get spooked by some 135 pound killer that mumbles a lot. I don't know how they were supposed to keep it interesting. I wasn't wild about Sorority Row [Blu-ray], but it ran laps around this movie.

5) FWIW, it did have the tight revelation that all the prank calls were coming from inside the house. When I saw When a Stranger Calls that part was definitely sick.

6) There's a cop named Jennings in it which is tight lol.

Pretty compelling plot, but they jitsued it up beyond all belief.

C-

Xmas Movies!

I'm not wild about Christmas, but I'm gonna review a few scary Christmas movies.

Look out later tonight for Black Christmas, and then later The Children, Santa's Slay, Jack Frost, Silent Night, Deadly Night, All of the Friends XMas episodes (yeahbuddy), and finally To All a Goodnight.

Keep it real till then tweet world.

Fear

1) Pretty well rounded. Mark Wahlberg is kinda creepy and I've always been into the whole teen thriller thing.

2) Some of the characters get a little carried away. Markie Mark's protege is pretty jitsu. The part where he points at Reese Witherspoon when hes making out with the other chick is stupid. Or how does Reese Witherspoon get a boner for MW when he just stares at her real creepily.

3) The part where the dog's head just falls through the door is pretty creepy. So is that little Chucky doll thats just hanging out in that room.

4) Anyone notice how the woods scene gets reenacted in Halloween II? This one's not near as scary as that one but still kinda creepy.

Fairly good, maybe I've just seen it too many times to still be in love with it.

B

WEC 53

1) Anthony Pettis is a hoss. I think the hardest challenge for him will be a really technical striker. I think Edgar will give him fits if Edgar can get by Maynard. Edgar's not the best striker but he's so quick that I think he'll frustrate Pettis. I'd like to say that a really good wrestler will cause him trouble but Pettis showed against Shane Roller that he doesn't spend much time on his back if he gets taken down. Maynard showed a good ability to keep Kenny Florian down though which makes me think he could keep Pettis down without too much trouble. Petter seems a lot bigger than most lightweights too so maybe that'd be a factor. Anywho, I think whoever wins between Edgar/Maynard will be able to beat Pettis, but it'll be closer than expected.

2) Cruz looked really good too. I think a lot of bantamweights will keep struggling with his reach. Scotty couldn't get inside enough to wear on Cruz at all and I think other guys will run into the same problem. I think that Faber, for how quick he is, will match up really well against him.

3) I think Cerrone will be kind of a middle of the pack guy in the UFC's lightweight division. I don't see him making a wreck of moves for the top soon, but he's still fairly young.

4) The rest of the fights were sick; hell of a way for the WEC to go out.

Look

1) It was a little too serious for my tastes. There's just so much screwed up stuff going on to be able to get real into it. There's like a high school teacher who's going to jail and has to be a sex offender so he can't see his unborn child, some little girl who has gotten kidnapped, and 2 psycho killers. For even all the light hearted shenanigans they were overwhelmed by all the serious jitsu.

2) It would've been a lot cooler if it got rid of some of the emo jitsu too. All the split screens and slow sad music were lame.

3) I also don't know what n00bs actually thought that this was real footage either.

4) I don't even need a happy ending, but this stupid. I mean, the happiest thing was the 16 year old cashier kid getting back together with his girlfriend. What a bunch of jitsu.

D-

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

1) This was a lot scarier the first time I saw it. It's still spooky and I still jumped a few times, but it wasn't like I remembered. I think maybe the ghost faces and the bloody eye things weren't as crazy when you expected them again.

2) It was probably less spooky given that I've seen Dexter since then. Dexter's sister always seems like she can bully the shit out of people so it seems less creepy when you watch the movie because you think she could just make it rain if she needed to.

3) I think the movie's scary because it's whole theme is whether or not these shenanigans could be true or not. It's like the Chucky movies where all the non-believers get mowed down, only here its all the atheist people (and some of the catholics). I need to start going back to church.

Spooky spooky,

Taylor Swift Top 13 Songs: 4-1

Here's the top 4 blog world!

4) Mine

The debut song off her 3rd album. It's super legit. It kind of makes me think that she'll pick the catchiest song off of each album and release it first. I kind of wonder how she wrote this one though. Usually she's very open about her songs being about her life experiences or some event that she went through. This one doesn't seem like it though, just b/c she'd be telling the whole world that her parents fought so much that it scared the hell out of her. In interviews she's said only good stuff about her parents. The pop version of it is also super tight, although it's weird that the pop radio stations don't play the pop version of it. #gofigure.


3) Love Story

I think a lot of the fans will obvi think that this should be number 1. It was the song that really made her take off with casual fans. Even if you look at the history of her album sales, her self-titled debut album that was released in 2006 didn't have it's best year of sales until 2008 after Love Story was released. This song also made the movie Letters to Juliet even tighter. While it was the best song for her career, I think it still falls short of 1 and 2 but is still really really sick.


2) Tim McGraw

This is the first song that got me hooked on TSwift. I think my life would be radically different if I hadn't heard this song in September of 2006. It's crazy to me to think of how far she's came since then. I remember judging a debate round at the 06 St. Mark's tournament listening to this song and some n00b asking who I was listening to. I'll bet all the haters have heard of her now. This song's pretty money: it's basically her reminiscing about this guy she used to date and how she wants him to remember her lol. It's also tight b/c when she sang it at the ACM awards she sang it in front of him and it was the first time she met him. You can see the video here.

1) I'm Only Me When I'm With You

By far the most dominant TSwift song of all time. The lyrics are really good, it's upbeat, and it's got a sick top part in the song. The music video could be better but I don't think they had initially planned to release this song. Anywho, the song title speaks for it all, and it runs laps around any other Taylor song I've ever listened to. A+

Taylor Swift Top 13 Songs: 8-5

Continuing the countdown!

8) Mary's Song

Some good shit here. It's like her first song that had the fairy tale ending. Love Story and Mine will always be remembered more, but I think this is where all the sappy love stories started. It's such a good song but just didn't have the catchiness to get big.

7) Teardrops on My Guitar

There's a pretty big drop off between 8 and 7. This song is so good. It's one of her first songs that they edited the lyrics after it got big. It used to say "so damn funny" to "just so funny". I understand why they did it but the original version of this song is money. This is also the first TSwift song that they made a pop remix of in order to market it further.

6) Back to December

I struggled with where to put this one on here. It's currently the TSwift song I'm bumping the most, and I'm afraid I'll put it too high, but then afraid of overcompensating by moving it too low. I don't think it's quite had the impact as number 5, but it's still real good. The lyrics in it are so good, and the acoustic version of the song rules too. Hopefully they make a music video of it, it'd be so sick.


5) You Belong With Me

A lot of the TSwift skeptics even got really into this one. It's got a sick beat and is money overall. Also it's by far the best music video she's ever had. All of those n00bs that thought Beyonce should have won are crazy. I mean I get it, Beyonce is super talented and can dance, but what made that video stand out more than this? This video had a sick story line, and how tight was it when they both pulled out the I Love You signs at the end? Top notch stuff.

Taylor Swift Top 13 Songs: 13-9

Whats good bw, Most of the fans love all the tswift stuff I do so here's the first part of a countdown of her top 13 songs of all time.

Honorable Mention

HB: The Way I Loved You

This song's so sick just for the lyrics in it.

"He can't see the smile I'm fakin'
And my heart's not breakin'
'Cause I'm not feelin' anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating, intoxicating, complicated
Got away by some mistake and now
I'll be screamin' and fightin'
And kissin' in the rain
It's two a.m. and I'm cursin' your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you"

13: Should've Said No

Should've Said No is a sick song. It's definitely her best live performance. You can see the video here. She made it rain on the costume changes after this first one, but the first time this one went down it was sick. The part where the rain falls on her and it says NO a bunch was out of control.


12: Our Song


This was probably her most popular song off the first album and it was by far the one that got the most airtime. It was catchy but I never really got hooked on it. I really think it'd be one comparable to Speak Now if it got released again. Had to mention it because it was probably what got a lot of TSwift fans hooked on her.

11: Story of Us

This one was just out of the top 10. It's been one of my sick jams lately but I was reluctant to bump it ahead of Our Song, Should've Said No, and Picture to Burn given how new it is. Anywho it's definitely top 10 material, and I'm optimistic it only has up to go.


THE TOP 10

10) Picture to Burn



This music video was really sick. You can see it here. It's one of the first times that I got really hooked on those tall boots after seeing them on the video. It was also the second song of hers that I ever really got into. I was hooked on Tim McGraw for awhile but after I bought her CD I think this song really got me on board more than the rest.

9) Breathe

This song was so sick and I never understood why it didn't get any airtime. It's stupidly sad and these kind of songs always seem to slip out of getting released. This one and The Way I Loved You (which is an honorable mention) are so tight. It's also really jitsu how all the radio critics forget about this one too. When Back to December Came Out all the jitsu critics commented that it was the first song to have her apologize to someone but this one was obvi before it. They even made a sick music video for this song that never got released. Anywho, it's a tight song.


Anyway, be sure to check in soon for 8-5 and 4-1

Till next time tweet world

Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan

Bunch of goofy errors in this movie.

1) The people just seem to set themselves up to be killed. In the opening scene the high school couple leaves a harpoon gun in the next room. Why do they even have a harpoon gun and why would they leave it out on Jason's home turf? And then you have the boxer guy who tries to beat up Jason. I'm no Evander Holyfield, but it doesn't seem like he had the business to take out Jason.

2) Jason seems to get more jitsu as the movies go on. Why does he run sometimes and then walks slow the others? At the end of the movie he sprinted through the door and then proceeded to walk real slowly towards the 2 kids. It doesn't make much sense. Also his face gets transformed from spooky to looking like one of the monsters from The Goonies.

3) The whole water thing doesn't make sense either. In the other movies (this one included) they show Jason being afraid of the water. This movie ends because Jason gets scared of the water and drowns in it. But then riddle me this: how in the hell does he manage to swim from the sunken ship all the way to New York? It's like he goes from being someone who's afraid of the water to being an Olympic level swimmer.

4) Speaking of which, as a random aside, I don't understand how the girl who couldn't swim couldn't get out of the swim lessons. When I was little the water was always too cold and the swimming instructors would never let me get out of the pool so I just splashed kids till they got tired of it and made me get out. Dunno why she couldn't figure that out.

5) I don't get why there's always a random gardener/handyman who shows up in all the movies who warns of Jason. I don't get why the owners of the boat didn't just kick the guy off the boat for being all jitsu.

Had some good parts but drug on for way too long.

C

Jason X

A lot more jitsu then I remembered.

1) I never realized that this freeze thing was happens in the year 2010. Some of the 2400s parts of the movie seems kinda jitsu. I never understood why movie writers make some movie that takes place sometime in the future because inevitably they either overestimate what we can do in the future or underestimate it and we look like n00bs.

2) What was up with the people trying to study Jason? They had some immortal killer who had escaped the authorities dozens of times and killed everyone who tried to apprehend him. What were those people thinking when they wanted to keep him for more research? These people are smart enough to save the entire human race and move us to another planet but they can't figure out not to mess with this guy? For some advanced 2400 year thinking they certainly dropped the ball on this one.

3) Some of the kills were pretty original. When he freezes that girls face then smashes it it's pretty crazy. And the ending is tight when they end up back at Camp Crystal Lake.

Had it's moments but not very good.

The Omen (1976)

Saw this on the hotel tv, forgot that I never did it in October.

1) One of the really good older movies. It's so good that it's even like 2 hours long but I could still manage to pay attention.

2) One of the few movies I ever jumped out of my seat for. An old lady friend and I watched it with speakers right behind us when the babysitter starts staring at that dog and then that creepy music comes on. I dunno why it was so spooky. I'm not scared of dogs, or of crazy babysitters, but some combination of the three was creepy as hell.

3) I could go without all the trips to the Middle East/devil investigating by Thorn. It's creepy when the photographer finds all the devil pictures but the rest of the investigation was kind of pointless.

4) It didn't have as many scary parts as the 2006 version, but it was tight overall. The babysitter jumping off the roof is freaky, and so is the housekeeper.

5) Tight ending to set up a sequel. Good stuff.

A

She's Out of My League

1) Molly is a babe. She's way out of a lot of people's leagues.

2) The ending was kind of corny. Most romantic comedies are best left to the two of them falling in love and struggling through all the other jitsu. I dunno if I'm wild about the parallel plot lines of him wanting to be a pilot someday. Actually I don't care about that at all.

3) What's wrong with this guy? He broke up with her because she was too perfect? I dunno what hes thinking. I can't even fathom why you want someone crappier than a girl way out of your league.

4) Bonus points for them finding each other in the airport. I'm not always wild about these scenes but this one was money.

Random side note- the CMT top 50 songs countdown is on and a wreck of them would spice up this movie. Brad Paisley - She's Everything and Blake Shelton - Austin would both be sick choices in the movie.

A-

UFC 124

Whats good tweet fans. Back from the studying jitsu that encompassed the last month. Excited to get a chance to catch up on the blog/generally sit around for a few weeks.

Here to first review UFC 124 from a week ago.

1) For all the talking you think Koscheck would've learned some new tricks. You could see his jab-overhand right combo coming from miles away and it's almost all he threw all night. And when you can't see out of your right away I'm sure it's hard to make that connect.

2) GSP should fight Shields and then go up to 185. I know everyone in the mix wants a shot (or rematch) with him, but he's running out of challenges here. I think Shields should get a shot after coming over from Strikeforce, but after that it's time for some new challenges. A GSP/Anderson Silva fight would be huge.

3) I still think GSP's the pound for pound best fighter in the game now. I don't understand how people think Silva is just b/c he finishes fights. Silva got pwned by Sonnen up until the 5th round. No one has beating GSP in a single round since the Fall of 07. Couple that with Silva's ho-hum opponents at times (Thales Leites, Patrick Cote) and GSP is a clear winner.

4) It was tight how Bruce Buffer didn't announce McCorkle/Struve as the co-main event; he just called them the fight before the main event lol.

5) Jim Miller looked good, I think he'd struggle with a title contender like Sean Sherk, Evan Dunham, or Kenny Florian.

Good fight overall, good to see GSP make it rain.

December Update

Sorry to keep you all waiting blog fans. Been busy with a wreck of finals. The blog should be back and at em the weekend of the 17th. Sorry BW, I miss it as much as you do.
