It Is Time...

Ok look, I know I'm the movies guy, but I also like to keep you in on the big music stuff too (in case Jordan screws up or something). So I realy want to talk about the most anticipated upcoming realese of Under0ath's new cd DEFINE THE GREAT LINE. I cannot wait, it comes out the 20th of this month (June) so be aware. You can get the regular edition, or the special cd/dvd edition. My suggestion is that you should hurry up and pre-order because you get a box of concept art post cards and a 7'' vinyl of their new single "Writing on the Walls" so you should hurry up or you'll be "up against the wall" (for all my fellow hardcore UO fans out there).

P.S. what's with all this hair dye and eye liner? to many rockers today are so worried about how the y look then they are their music. It is time to define the great line...

16 Blocks

Alrighty, last weekend I went to the mall with Zach and Tro, and we went to the movie theaterto goof off and suck down fat filled popcorn. That part of the plan was a given, what wasn't decided was what movie we were gonna see. I wanted to see Date Movie, but they refused. So they all favored in "16 Blocks" and it was 2 against 1 so what was I to do but just shut up and whatch the movie. I didn't know anything about it!!! Except that it has Bruce Willis in it. So it turns out the movie is about a group of cops that break the rules. Jack Mosely is a NYC cop who is given the task of transproting a convict by the named Eddie (I think, I can't remember) who he finds out is about to testify against his fellow cops at the precinct. So now he must chose to abandon his friends and do whats right, or stand with the wrong and kill innocent time after time to keep their faults underwraps.

I'll be honest, it has a good story, it's pretty good in the language department, and has good acting.............but it's kinda.....no no, it's boring. In fact, me and Trevor started to listen to his ipod during the movie because we got bored (Under0ath! wowyeah!).

Listen to your mom, clean your closet!

Now, this was just too good to pass up.  One of the best selling books of all time (besides Harry Potter) has been made into an awesome movie! I'm talking about The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe! It's about 4 siblings Lucy, Peter, Edmund, and Susan. When their country is bombed in World War II, they are forced to flee to the rural countryside of England where they are to stay for a while at an elderly professor's mansion.

While playing a game of hide-and-seek, the youngest of the 4, Lucy, discovers the perfect place to hide.........in an alternate world called Narnia! While finding an old dusty wardrobe in an empty room, she not only comes across the best hiding place in all of hide-and-seek history, she also discovers another world full of fawns, beasts, goblins, giants, dwarfs, and just other regular animals........that can talk!!! But, to these animals, these four kids are part of an ancient prophesy to save and, eventually, rule the land of Narnia! What do they have to save Narnia from? The evil white witch who, she says, is the so called "queen" of Narnia.

So, there were two movies that you absolutely should have seen before the year clocked out.  They were King Kong and Narnia. So excuse me for writing a ton on both of them. This movie was very, very good.  It had the right mix of morals, humor and action! In other words, it made me laugh.  It made me cry (not really, but very sad though) and it made jump(twice! darn wolves). I was also told that it follows the book very closely! I haven't read it, but my brothers have and they were amazed!!! The special effects were eye popping with Aslan, the lion, and all the other cool little creatures.

This is definitely a movie you should take the whole family to see! I didn't even want to see it at first. I thought it was gonna be boring, but my mom made me see it and man am I glad she did!

Heads up!!!

A couple days ago I was at my friend Zach's house playing video games, and at about 2 AM I got up to look for tips and tricks on the popular game HALO when I stumbled upon a web page about HALO!!! Now, I know what your thinking, "So what?!" Right? Well, it wasn't a page on HALO the game, IT WAS A PAGE FOR HALO THE MOVIE!!!!! If you don't believe me, then check out this site! All I know is that Peter Jackson is working on it and it's comming out sometime in 2007!

Later guys, I gotta go scrape up some more info!

'Twas Beauty that Killed the Beast.

Ok, I know that this review is kind of late, but it's totally worth it! I saw Peter Jackson's King Kong on Christmas Eve and man! What a ride! If you've seen the first version (because there were 3 that were made, including this one) you would know that this movie is about a beautiful young actress named Ann Darrow, who is picked up off the street by a film director named Carl Denham, who is at end of his rope as he struggles to make well........a movie that will spark the interest of........the world. So he amazingly gathers a crew to a place he only knows the location of........Skull Island, with an ancient map he acquired by chance.

To write the script for this "major" motion picture, he hires Jack Driscoll (whom which Ann is a big fan of hint hint) who is a friend of Denham's. Needless to say, they find the small island and uncover a BIG secret. There's a wall surrounding the entire island!? To keep us out? Or to keep something in? So, they go aboard and encounter the very many, very HOSTILE lifeforms that live on the island, and one life-form that will change their lives forever! When the crew gets on the island, it seems deserted, but they see this little native, then another, then 5 more.  Then the whole tribe reveals themselves and attacks in rage with their red eyes and razor sharp weapons.

They see Ann and are amazed at her golden hair.  She is to be...the bride of Kong! So that night when Denham, Jack and Ann (and the rest of the survivors) are sleepless through out the silent ship, the menacing islanders sneak aboard and kidnap Miss Darrow. So, now its up to the few men able to fight, or even stand, to search the entire island to get their movie star back from the clutches of a 30ft tall gorilla.

Ok, so this movie was so intense that it had me on the edge of my seat almost the entire film. Except for the beginning, it takes them quite a while to get on the island, but once they get there your thinking "all right, here we go!" From right there its a non-stop roller coaster, and man are there a lot of close calls! Ann comes so close to getting eaten by so many things, so many times! Its definitely a thriller and is NOT recommended for younger children! Did you hear how I described the natives? There is really disturbing images in there. My 7 year old brother was crying! On the other hand, if you really want them to see this movie, you should show them the original, its a straight up classic!

Well they'll do it for me this session, so what're you waiting for!! Go see it!

The Sky is Falling!!!

Well, all I can say is that Disney has done it again along with Pixar's team of computer artists creating another halarious comedy, but with a barn yard twist (but it's no Madagascar if you know what I'm talking about). Chicken Little is a motion pcture event that the whole family will enjoy! I thought it was a tad short but it will get you on the edge of your seat a couple times when the main character, (who else but) chicken little gets into some sticky situations with his friends: fish, "ugly duckling", and runt of the litter. The story line is pretty clever and has some good family morals in it. Now your probably wodering, "WHAT HAPPENS?!" Well you might have heard that " THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!" Well to some extent it's true, but you'll have to see the movie to see what I'm talking about. So go see Chicken Little (in theators now) if you want a good laugh.

You May Kiss the Corpse

 Hey guess what's one of my new favorite movies.........Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. It was so awesome because I am such a fan of stop motion animated films. So this was cool, you might recognize it because it looks like The Nightmare Before Christmas. Yup yup, so look, the movie is about a Village in the 19th Century, where a Guy named Victor Van Dort is getting married by force to girl he has never even met named Victoria. So at the wedding rehearsal, he gets nervous and can't remember his vows, so he flees of embarassment into the woods and sets the ring on a funny looking tree root, but accidently puts it on the grave of the Corpse Bride!! So now they are to be married by other worldly forces, but Victor and his fiance have some objections. So go see it it's awesome!!

Daisy, Daisy give me your answer true.

OK, I just saw The Dukes of Hazzard, and I know that some of you hard core fans out there are gonna say "Dude, you just went to see Daisy & The General Lee!" Well, I'm not gonna lie to you...I did, and man was it funny! Now, you probably already knew that because Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott play Bo and Luke Duke. So you already know that those two together is a recipea for some car jumpin disaster. Anyways, the movie is all about when Bo and Luke find out that the commissioner Boss Hog (Bert Reynolds) is going to turn Hazzard county into the biggest strip coal mine this part of the south. So it's up to Bo, Luke, Daisy, and the new and improved General Lee to save Hazzard  from total destruction. Not to mention out run the cops inbetween. Well, thats basicaly all thats been goin' on down in old Georgia. So until next showtime,

The Candy Man can (do anything)

It's all back; the oompa loopas, the braty kids, the crazy inventions, the hocolate, and don't forget the crazy man behind it all.........Willy Wonka. Me and my girl friend Shannen went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory a couple days ago and man was it crazy (i mean the movie). We had a great time (whatching the movie). Johnny Depp is and awesome Willy. He brings new emotions and dialogue. In my opinion, he's like a kid in a adults body. I'm sure I don't have to explain the story right? You now about the mytirious factory and workers, and the 5 golden tickets that go to 5 braty children. Well then, I'll just do a little "Share-and-compare" if thats what you wanna call it.

SIR, YES........Babysitter?!

Have you guys seen The Pacifier?  Well I have,and man,I think I got the worst case of the giggles! The movie stars big action star Vin Diesel playing  Lt. Shane Wolf, the best navy s.e.a.l. you will ever meet. His latest mission is to protect a bunch of kids! Why? An inventor for the government created a device called "Ghost". This program could shut down any security system, anytime, anyplace! After the scientist was murdered, and the ghost was lost, evil did not rest. There have been many reports of robbers breaking in to the inventors house. Unfortunetly, he has kids, 4 or 5 to be almost exact, and they are in grave danger. So its up to Shane to protect them.

This movie was pretty good, like I said it was very funny. Had a good script and was full of surprises. A very good movie to watch with the whole family.    Rating: 9/10      Movie Rating: PG

Enjoy! Your friend, Christian

This movie is crack-a-lackin'!!!

I like to move it move it, why don't you move it move it to a movie theater near you and go see Madagascar. It's a hilarious movie about 4 animal friends from the New York Zoo. When Marty the Zebra decides to escape to the wild after a little testament shared by the psychotic military penguins, then Alex the Lion and friends go searching through the street of Manhattan to find him. Causing a riot in a train station, the "fantastic 4" our sent to a wild life preserve in Africa by ship. Thinking it's a replacement zoo, Marty and Alex get in a fight and accidentally fall overboard. By morning they land on a mysterious Island by the name of Madagascar. Will they survive? Will they make new friends? Will you go see the movie? You better! But you didn't here it from me. You didn't see anything........right! That's right

Bigweld=Big Movie!

Have you seen Robots? I have, and from what I can see and hear it's a pretty good movie for all ages. It's an animated flick from Dream Works Animation. It's about a robot named Rodney Copperbottom, and he wants to fulfill his dreams by becoming a big time inventor. To do so, he looks up to his insperation, Mr. Bigweld, a (robot) world known inventor. So Rodney takes a train to the city to get started on his so called career. He soon learns that just because something is on TV doesn't mean it's "real world certified". Luckly his new found friend, Fender and the rest of the city "out modes", help him through all the twists and turns of the city. If you wanna see what happens, go see the movie (I highly recomend it)! It's rated PG and is on DVD and video now. I rated 7/10.

            Enjoy!

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge!

Here's an update on Episode 111: Revenge of the Sith.

As you know it's the last chapter to the prequel, and man is it cool. This is the movie where Anakin loses all control and falls to the dark side of the force. In this movie, it has been 2 years of fighting in the clone wars for Obi-wan & Anakin. The have already become well known throughout galaxy because of their relentless battles against the droid armies. Anakin has been away from Padme ever since the start of the war, and when they finally get together, Anakin learns that Padme is pregnant w/ twins! While that is great news, he can't help thinking that Padme will not survive going into labor. Haunted by his thoughts and dreams, he drives himself more insane to make sure she will stay alive. If you think that is bad enough, back on the planet Coruscant Senator Palpatine is slowly destroying the republic, turning everyone against the jedi, and crowning himself Emperor. I'm gonna tell you straight up, this movie will be brutal. In fact, there is so much slaughter that Episode111 is the only Star Wars movie rated PG-13!! It's all because Anakin is fixed on the thought that all the Jedi betrayed him. So he goes to the temple and destroys master and youngling alike with no hesitation or resistance. I have seen the movie, and I can tell you right now that there's not gonna be a happy ending. Besides, it's not revenge if people don't suffer right?

                                  the jedi of movies,

Sarchasem and a Gun

This week I'm writing about Gracie Heart (Sandra Bullock) in her next adventure for the F.B.I. Things get her in trouble though, because she is still recognized as "Gracie Lou Freebush" the runner up from the Miss United States pageant. So things can get pretty screwed up when your undercover.  Things really get shaken up when Sharyl Frasier gets kidnapped along with Stan (last years host). It's up to Gracie and her new friend agent Fuller, who is transferred to New York becuase of anger managemant. If you wanna find out if they get her back, see te movie. This film is rated PG-13

Those We Dont' Speak Of

But for right now we will speak of The Village, freaky movie directed by M. Night Shamalan. It's not classified as a horror, but I won't lie to you, I couldn't sleep the first night I saw it (but thats just me). If your wondering what "Those we don't speak of" is, well there's gotta be something that makes this movie scary. They are the creatures beyond the village borders. There are three key rules to living in this village. 1.) Hide the bad color (red) it attracts them. 2.) Do not go into the forest, that is where they wait. 3.) Heed the warning bell for they are coming. That, right there, already sounds spooky. Ok, Im gonna give you a image from  the movie. Here, Just go to the official site yourself and enter the woods! I dare you!

Dorp and Give me...100!

Check this out, I just saw Coach Carter. It's an awesome movie that stars Samuel Jackson as who else, but Coach Carter. He is a wonderful actor though. The movie is actually based on the true life story of Ken Carter a basket ball coach at Richmond High School in California. As you can tell from the previews, the movie is about  a group of individuals who are on the basket ball team at Richmond High. Let me tell you, they're not really the best team out there. Lucky Coach Carter is there to help theme get there act together. Believe me, he is hard on them. In the beginning you would think he is a mad man spewing out hundreds of push-ups left and right. In the end though, the Richmond Oilers do make it to the state finals, but sadly they loose. They realize that they got there  because of there hard work and patience.

    Rating: 7/10  I recommend this for older kids. ( PG-13)

Peace Out from your boy Christian Z.

He's not exactly the psychopath the Green Goblin was in the first movie, but he will make you dizzy with those robot tentacles of his.

Howdy boyz & females! Today I will be writing about SHREK 2. The motion picture stars Mike Myers as Shrek, Cameron Diaz as Fiona, and Eddie Murphy as Donkey. Basicly same old, except Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots (my favorite)! The movie is one big quest for Shrek to make Fiona happy. Even though she just wants him to be himself. Thats if the evil Fairy Godmother doesn't get in the way. Well, to see what happens get the movie now on DVD!

The group spots him and shoots him down so there is no evidence they exist. Luckily, he ejects at mach 3 and survives! Trapped behined enemy lines, he is forced to evade and survive.
