"Mock"busters



Now you're probably going "WTF", that's the same reaction I had when I stumbled upon those trailers last night. I wanted to laugh, but at the same time I was so puzzled at how these could be movies, legit movies. I honestly didn't believe these were real at all. They are not the funniest things I've seen on before but damn, seriously "Transmorphers". So I did some digging via. Wikipedia and found this.
"The Asylum (the company that made "Transmorphers") is an American film studio and distributor which focuses on producing low-budget, usually direct-to-video productions. The studio is best known for producing titles which appear to capitalize on productions by major studios. These titles have been dubbed "mockbusters" by the press."
So after reading that it wasn't as funny anymore and then I found this I was like "holy crap! look at all the movies they've made"

Photobucket

I am going to start downloading some of these and watch, just for the hell of it. Also for the fact that they're so low budget that they look funny as hell.

You gotta

Watch this



Taken

I was really hesitant to go watch this movie in the theaters because I deemed it "was a watch it at home for free" type of movie. If you love action flicks then this one is definitely for you. The story was simple, fast pace and tons of ass kicking. I swear I am never seem so many people get decapitated in an movie or anything ever. Liam was chopping left and right, he took down everybody that was in his way. It was almost like watching a whole season of 24 in one compact 1 hour 30 minute film. If you don't mind some broken necks and gun shots and love action. This one is for you.

This is phucking brilliant..chea?!



Now I know I have a tendency to over hype things, but this is truly brilliant. I know I am very late on this movie and I have put off watching this for the longest time. Without giving it away, Once is a modern-day musical about a busker and an immigrant and their eventful week in Dublin, as they write, rehearse and record songs that tell their love story. Aside from the music, the chemistry of the two co stars was what made the movie that much more enjoyable. Not to sound cheesed or anything, but I haven't felt so moved by a film since Before Sunset. This is just a timeless movie, and a beautiful story. Not the mention that the soundtrack is amazing. I am really glad I watched this and I am really thankful for my friend Teddy for recommending this.

We sure are cute for two ugly people

Juno MacGuff: That's not what it's about. I just need to know that it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever.
Mac MacGuff: Well, it's not easy, that's for sure. Now, I may not have the best track record in the world, but I have been with your stepmother for 10 years now and I'm proud to say that we're very happy. Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.
Juno MacGuff: Yeah. And I think I've found that person.



Maybe we should try something different

Jesse: This friend of mine had a kid, and it was a home birth, so he was there helping out and everything. And he said at that profound moment of birth, he was watching this child, experiencing life for the first time, I mean, trying to take its first breath... all he could think about was that he was looking at something that was gonna die someday. He just couldn't get it out of his head. And I think that's so true, I mean, all - everything is so finite. But don't you think that that's what, makes our time, at specific moments, so important?
Celine: Yeah, I know. It's the same for us, tonight, though. After tomorrow morning, we're probably never going to see each other again, right?
Celine: We, maybe we should try something different. I mean, it's no so bad if tonight is our only night, right? People always exchange phone numbers, addresses, they end up writing once, calling each other once or twice...
Jesse: Right. Fizzles out. Yeah, I mean, I don't want that. I hate that.
Celine:I hate that too, y'know.
Jesse: Why do you think everybody thinks relationships are supposed to last forever
Celine: Yeah, why. It's stupid.

The Score

I am currently in love with OSTs (Original Sound Track) and by that I don't mean songs that were put in the movie, I mean songs composed for the movie. You know the piece of music that really jacks you up for a specific scene or part of a movie. There's plenty of good ones out there but the one I can name off the top of my head are "Hello Zepp" or "Zepp Overture" by Charlie Clouser (formerly of NIN). It's may as well be one of the more well known one around since it's be mixed and remixed 15 different times for the Saw movie franchise. For those who have no clue what the hell I am talking about because you're a "lame" for not watching one of the "illest" (I won't use sick) movies series ever.

HELLO ZEPP

ZEPP OVERTURE


"Hello Zepp" is a piece of "incidental music" created for the movie's infamous, insane, shock of your life plot twists. You really have to listen to it or watch the movie to understand how the effects of this piece of music works.

Who's Gonna Save My Soul


I posted this a while back when I first started blogging here. It's a short clip made to "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" by Gnarls Barkley. The video was directed by Chris Milk and it features Jorma Taccone (The Lonely Island) and Aasha Davis (Friday Night Lights). The first time I posted it, I didn't do it much justice simply by just posting it. I am sure many of you have seen it by now, but if you haven't it's a dope little piece.



Here's a review of the clip that I pulled off of Wikipedia:

The video is set in a diner, with the song playing throughout in the background. The key events revolving around a couple while they are separating. The man then stabs himself in the chest, and pulls out his heart, places it on the table and gives it to the woman. He explains to the woman that his heart "is actually hers now", that he will "never be able to get over her, and from now on every girl that I meet will be meticulously compared to the false memory of what you and I once 'had'".

The woman tries to accommodate him by telling him "well, maybe I can just keep it for a little while and use it for small things like when I've had a really shitty day or when I need someone to talk to or if I need someone to move something really heavy, and then eventually I'll give it back to you when we both find someone new". The man, describing himself as heartless, says that it, "unfortunately, does not work that way, I will now treat each women with a passive/aggressive contentiousness that will ruin relationship after relationship for years to come." The heart then comes to life, growing arms, legs and a mouth, and begins to sing the lyrics to the song on the counters of the diner into a piece of broccoli before finally stabbing itself with a knife and pulling the man's head out of its body. The head looks around, staring off into space.

The scene cuts back to the man staring out the window as the head is. When the woman finally asks "are you even listening to me?" The man replies with a simple "No."

"Fuckin'" Brilliant

Across The Universe

"All you need is love"

An original musical film, Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by The Beatles that defined the time.



"All My Loving"


"Strawberry Fields Forever"


"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

Screw the Batman series...


Christian Bale is golddddd in the "mutthhhhherrrfuccckin" movie (just like how he would of said it, you'll know when you watch it)

This is the pinnacle of "Swag"

For those who don't know who the story of Jame "Boobie" Miles, he was the star running back of the Permian Panthers of Odessa Texas back in 1988 which was featured best selling book "Friday Night Lights". He was legend in Odessa, "Boobie" had god given talents, he was made for football, he was destined for greatness, but after one blow to the knee, his once bright future became an afterthrought.

But this isn't the story about the man's tragic story. This is about how he carried himself. For those who read or watched "Friday Night Lights" Boobie came off as an arrogant star who put himself in front of everything. But can you blame him? Texas is a football state, all they do is play football, they put these kids on a pedastal and worship them like gods every Friday night. Boobie was just a product of the "Texas" state of mind.

Boobie carried himself like no other, he had that "Swag" that nobody can match. Who can rock those black on black cleats like him? Who has the testicular fortitude to rock a "Terminator 'X'" towel? When Boobie was at his best, nobody could touch him, because he didn't believe anybody can. That's swag. It's in every step he took, every time he carried the ball, every breath he took. He had that swag that no one can match. If you still don't believe go watch the movie or read the book.

Deuces...
