Movie review- Milk


It is a rare pleasure for me to see a movie that is so utterly moving that it makes me want to change the way i treat people of any color, any creed, any orientation and any opinion. It was my distinct pleasure to see the Gus Van Sant's telling of the life story of Harvey milk. i cannot in the 350 word limit text box supplied here express how thoroughly i enjoyed this movie and how touched i was by devotion to this movie of the people both on an off the screen. since i was a young child i was always confused why it should matter whether a person is Gay or straight, white or black, muslim or catholic or anything else for that matter, to me people have always been merely people. after watching this film i now see the true face of sheer hate and pride, i cannot describe the anger i felt watching the newsreel footage of people like John briggs or Anita Bryant who are so Obviously Blinded by conservative religious views that they begin to compare homosexuality to Pedophilia or Bestiality listening to these incredibly ignorant people made my blood boil. 

but this film is a true emotional masterpiece and is truly worth taking time out of your day to see it.

Trailer review-12



12 is director Nikita mikhalkov's retelling of the classic stage-play 12 Angry men i had the pleasure of seeing 12 angry men live on stage a few years ago and i have never felt that much power emanating from a play. the story encapsulates Human nature at its most primal form and perfectly displays doubt,trust,hate,and mercy from 12 very angry men. the movie is a retelling of this classic story and promises to be a thrilling tale.

Trailer review- REPO!- the genetic opera



The year 2056 organ failure has reached epidemic proportions but GeneCo has a solution! for a price of course, but if you fail to pay your dues you'll soon get a visit from a Repo man  and you'll pay for that surgery with your pound of flesh.

This trailer sparked interest with me, because I am not a fan of horror movies as a genre i find they sacrifice quality for sheer Gore, but i think REPO! might be the exception i've been looking for. this musical bloodbath comes out this friday and judging from the numerous clips,featurette's and trailers on the site, looks like it'll be worth checking out

space zombies?.... oh sh*t



Hey, Systemphreek here,

I just finished the new game Dead Space for the second time, and this time I was trying to get all the achievements. And even though I knew where and when they were gonna happen, all the stuff that jumped out at me, all the things that come out of the walls and grab you, etc. still managed to scare the bejeezez out of me. I highly recommend this game. It almost, ALMOST beat Bioshock. If you liked Bioshock, this game is a must. It's darker, scarier, and more intense than Bioshock in many ways. And it's in the future, instead of underwater during the 60s (or was it the 50s, I don't remember). Anyway, point is, get Dead Space, you won't be disappointed.

Trailer review-The Spirit


most of my free time is spent on the Apple.com downloads page watching HD movie trailers, and every so often one catches my eye. recently, the black trench coat, hat and mask with a blood red tie has caught my eye I'm speaking of course of Frank Millers the Spirit. now so far i've only seen the trailer so any of the following observations are based solely on that. the most recent trailer opens with a single frame flash of a woman being robbed by a man armed with a Cold steel magnum Tanto IX  when from the rooftops dives the Spirit. so far i'm interested, but i'm not going to give you a walkthrough of the trailer ill let you see it for yourselves. but this movie which is jam-packed with full throttle heavily stylized fight scenes,awesome weapons and many a lovely lady in my humble opinion this is gonna be one hell of a super-hero movie.

it may always be sunny, but its also always funny.


for the past year ive been laughing my @$$ off to the comical strains of five a-holes from Philadelphia trying to run a bar, of course, im talking about the cult classic TV show its always sunny in philadelphia. the show is one of the few, the elite even, things i will make time for just to waste it watching this show. it is in my opinion a piece of boob-toob gold. the strange combination of pain, horror and joy you feel watching charlie pull his teeth out with the greatest of ease in the episode "mac and charlie die pt.1" is a feeling that will be all too farmiliar to you after watching a few episodes.
