This has to be the heaviest week since the week before E3. There will be about 30 movies released on Blu-Ray. Luckily, it is not 30 movies no one would want either. You have titles such as Rudy and Cool Hand Luke for people that love classics. (I thought Rudy was a good movie. Loved Cool Hand Luke). Superman Returns makes another appearance. This time he is coming with HD audio. (Warner, please release all Blu-Ray movies with HD Audio).  The usual weekly concert releases are available as well. Last, but not least is Kill Bill. You can buy them together, buy Vol 1 or buy Vol 2. Get both of them. Getting just one is foolish.

You have 30 movies to choose from. Here are some links that will allow you to think what Blu-Ray.com has said about the upcoming releases. Oh yea, there is no excuse to not buy anything this week. I don't want to hear it. (The list below is not the full list of releases for the week).

Dracula, c'est bien, et quand je pense à la quantité de trucs qui ont été enfantés à partir de cette oeuvre... Prenez Buffy contre les Vampires : le planté de pieu est toujours précédé d'un peu de karaté. Ce qui n'est pas le cas dans Dracula. Le planté de pieu est rituel, lent, fait d'une succession de gros plans sur la plantée et de plans d'ensemble sur le planteur, pour un final souvent disimulé par un rictus de douleur en très gros plan, ou un cri, strident. Pas de rituel chez Buffy, sinon le karaté. 

La mariée était en noir, c'est bien. Ce film a inspiré Tarantino pour son Kill Bill, les deux oeuvres contant le périple assassin et vengeur d'une veuve blonde ayant vu mourir son mari à son mariage. Dans Truffaut, le rituel consiste en une prise de contact avec le salaud, l'héroïne (Jeanne Moreau) s'imprègnant de la vie de celui qu'elle hait, comme pour encore alourdir la main qui tuera ce prochain. Il y a cette scène de J.M. se faisant passer pour l'institutrice du gamin, dont elle assassinera le père quelques heures plus tard. 

Dans Tarantino, du karaté.

Hey dok/mev/juf/madam/mrs

Ek het die spasie vir jou geskep

Uit my eie uit...fok ek kan nie behoorlik in Afrikaans skryf/tik/ praat nie....

So. anyway lets get to the core of this conversation

Guilty

I feel guilty 'cause you at the least tried/attempted to understand me

Ek voel kak...of hoe

Dat ek jou werk/toewyding aan my in die wind gegooi het

There's a movie called.......yeah I am crying whilst typing so excuse me for the poor incoherent bulshit I am trying to relate....Ok so die movie is

Kill Bill vol 2.onder andere(die storie is vol intriges) gaan dit oor die keuse tussen:

Regret or retirement...

Which one....

Regret....Regret dat ek genoeg kak aan gejaag het

Retirement...not for me...

What I would add though is remorse...which nobody wants to accept...

I feel like an infidel

Ok...so..in Rehab a year ago they taught us :

1. I feel....   sad

2. 'Cause I failed you

3............N

Ja so ek is weer mal en steeds verlate.

Anyway, as hierdie kak wat ek nou vir jou geskryf het sin maak wel...dan wen jy die miljoen

A los que os sentís modernos poniendoos este tono en el móvil, algunos sin haber visto la película, os recuerdo que esa cancioncilla estaba de moda en 1966. Por suerte para todos, detrás de esa melodía hay más de 40 años de trabajo incansable, con verdaderas joyas no solo de la música de cine, sino en mi opinión, muchas de ellas de la música en general.

Es verdad que tiene una parte de obras a las que dificilmente podremos acceder al ser películas western italianas cutres de las que lo único que se salva es la banda sonora. Por suerte el youtube rescata algunas de sus obras mas o menos conocidas. Entre ellas está "La Misión", "Cinema Paradiso", "Conan el bárbaro" o hasta "Kill Bill" (aunque esta coge sobre todo composiciones de los 60)

Preo no os voy a dejar en las palabras, como siempre, deleitaros, corretead entre los videos que os ofrezco gratis hasta que alguien con el corazón negro los retire del youtube

sacada de kill bill volumen 2

La siguiente es una maravillita que descubri hace poco, la película es "Agáchate Maldito!"

Deja inundar tu habitación con este temazo de "La Misión"

Incluso en muchas bandas sonoras explora mas allá de lo convencional, como en esta, sacada de "Il Giardino Delle Delizie", esta no sé ni si existe en España. Personalmente la veo muy relacionada con el tríptico. Aunque puede no gustar a todo el mundo

Y para acabar con algo menos radical, uno de los mejores temas de amor que haya escuchado, de "Cinema Paradiso"

Este sábado, si Dios quiere, todo esto y mucho más en el auditorio de Juan Carlos I de Madrid, Morricone dirigiendo al Orfeón Donostiarra. Conducid con cuidado.

This was one of the most difficult remix CD's to ever get my friggin hands on!  I do love dropping this for people.  The twisted nerve mixes will get stuck in your head for days! Ironside jumpoff gets so hot, it makes for a touch of movement in the nether lands.  The Volume 2 that came out; I could never get a grasp of, I think that was when I was "in between computers".  I missed out on quite a bit of hot items...

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

The Half-Blood Prince looks amazing from the brief trailer that has been released. I am all twitterpated in anticipation. As I already mentioned, David Yates will return to direct the film. Also, the much missed Quiddich makes a beloved return. And of course, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Emma Watson (Hermione), Rupert Grint (Ron) and the rest of gang is back again.

East Coast Avengers on myspace

According to an article on msn today: Mike Myers in Inglorious Bastards

Mike Myers has been cast in Queintin Tarantino's upcoming remake titled, "Inglorious Bastards," the long awaited film from Tarantino without "Grindhouse" in its title.

It's good to hear Tarantino is finally moving forward on his long-awaited project, and by long-awaited I mean patiently forgotten until recently when news started to appear again related to the project. Most of us have been waiting since Kill Bill vol. 2 for a decent Tarantino film ("Death Proof," though semi-cool in the theater, did not cut it for someone who dislikes overlong, unedited scenes of straight dialogue). Oh, and btw, we're also still waiting for "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair." 

What's the deal Queintin? We've been waiting for your sixth masterpiece (or are we on seven by now?), and your sojourn into Grindhouse and Sin City was, for most of us, a waste of apparent talent. You made Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill; why limit yourself to niche films? Have you run out of juice? Finally realized that your films were a fad of the '90s and won't be successful on this new, cgi pampered, audience of the 21st century?

Just make your film Queintin, and don't try to make it like some film of yesteryear. Do it your way. Gratuitous violence, twice as many f-bombs as needed, Samuel L. Jackson cameo and/or supporting role, and lots of twists and turns. Make us care about your work again, and for darns sake get on that Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. Seriously.

(to those expecting something funny)

sorry. i saw news. i posted news. it's late. i studied 5 hours for law school tonight. perhaps my partner will wit it up.

The lone stranger. The strong, silent type. The man with no name. The anti-hero.

These are the characters I want to watch in films or read about in books. They can be men or women. They can be of any race or religion. The only requirement is to be a badass. They range all over from Clint Eastwood in the Dollars trilogy, to Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. Korean films like Old Boy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, British Films like Point Blank (well, British director at least), and even Kurosawa films like Yojimbo.

The protagonists in these films have something over characters (see: normal characters) in other films. These characters are always cooler. They are, in fact, the coolest. And the reason for their coolness is their apparent apathy—their lack of a normal conscience. They are slightly morally corrupt. Just a little bit off-kilter. They could kick the normal hero from some other movie's ass, or if that hero starts beating them to a bloody pulp, they'll look up into his eyes, cough out a splatter of blood on the floor in front of him, and smile. They're tough.

These are the characters I love. The ones with no moral compass. The ones who are real assholes, but you love them anyway. And when you watch them or read about them, you get to live that life for just a little bit. For the length of that movie or book, you're them, and you're a badass. For that little slice of your life, you're that guy or girl that no one wants to get in the way of. All you have to do is give a look and people watch out.

The best of these characters (Walker in Point Blank or the Samurai in Yojimbo) never falter in their badass-itude. They go through hell and back, but they're attitude does not change. Their character goes against any conventional wisdom of storytelling. Characters are always supposed to change, whether for better or for worse, but these ones don't. Characters are supposed to learn and grow. These ones do not. The man with no name is exactly the same at the end of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly as he was in the beginning, just richer. These characters defy terms like "character development." The only thing that develops is whether or not they achieve their goal. Walker looking for his ninety-three thousand dollars, the Samurai subverting the rival gangs, the bride out to kill Bill, Tyler Durden trying to bring the world back to zero ... it's all about what they want and how they're going to get it.

It's storytelling brought down to the simplest degree. It's the stripped down language of James M. Cain, or the hard boiled criminals in a Jim Thompson book. It's about having fun and letting loose.

It's about examining the corrupt world around these characters. Because we always like the anti-hero, and there's a reason. They maybe amoral, but they're never as corrupt as the people around them. They're surviving in a corrupt world, not by hiding or by making due or by trying to change it, but by making it work for them. They know the world is shit, but they don't care. They know the angles and they'll get what they want. And maybe this is why we like them so much. Because we see the corrupt world around us too, only we wish we could turn the world around on itself, make it work for us.

But it's also just fun to be a badass.

Bioshock:

Protagonist Jack: You want someone who's fairly young, and capable of a dark, tragic heroism of a sort.  With that language most people would jump to the Dark Knight himself, Christian Bale, but I'm going for Nathan Fillion, far less of a name and a face, except to Whedonite zealots.  The hammer is his penis.

Andrew Ryan: Daniel Day Lewis.  No second choices, at all.  The alpha-objectivist whose empire has crumbled around the very structures he built it on, the gravitas of the Milkshake will be needed for his climactic moment.

Atlas: James MacAvoy, this rising star has all the right characteristics.  Right accent, right attitude.

Frank Fontaine: Jack Nicholson.  No one can do arrogant sleaze better.  He could just read everything in his normal voice and it would be pitch-perfect.  Alternatively Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Dr. Tenenbaum: Sarah Polley.  She's best known for her work as the female protagonist of 2004's Dawn of the Dead remake, but is a fierce actress and talent in her own right.

Dr. Suchong: None other than Sulu himself, George Takei.  Right age, right look, just enough villainous potential.

Sander Cohen: Robin Williams, no second choice.  The man can act serious when you give him a chance, but can anyone think of a better option for a manic psychotic artist?

Dr. Steinman: John Noble.  Look at his performance as Denethor in Return of the King.  That sort of psychotic behavior could be very easily and very artfully translated to this plastic-surgeon gone batshit.

Now how about a Metal Gear Solid movie?  Laden with its didactic style of Japanese storytelling, you'll need a good editor and screenwriter before anything else, really.  But what about those characters?  I've got some ideas here, too.

Solid Snake/Solidus/Big Boss: Viggo Mortensen.  In various stages of makeup he can play all of them, and play the hell out of all of them.  He is quite possibly one of the five greatest living actors, in my opinion.

Liquid Snake: I'm going to go back to James MacAvoy for this one, too.  A younger, more vital, slightly deranged character, I think he'd excel as Liquid.

Otacon: I'd cast outside of appearance on this one, cast to character and not to looks, that said, I'd go with Philip Seymour Hoffman.  Another one of my favorites, he could very easily play a nerdy, closeted homosexual atomic scientist.

Raiden: Jake Gyllenhaal.  Young, unsure of himself, naive, I think he's played all these characteristics already.

Revolver Ocelot: David Carradine, yes, Bill.  He's got just the right quality for Ocelot.

Naomi Hunter: Nicole Kidman.  She can do ice queen, she can do everything the character needs to do.

Meryl Silverburgh: Say it with me now: Evangeline Lilly.  KATE.  She can kick ass, she can play vulnerable, she can play sneaky, slippery, sultry.  Don't even change her hair color, the red anime-hair is ridiculous, give her a cut and put her to work.  Give her a bigger part than she has in the games, and ratchet up the tension with Snake.

Sure there are other characters in both games (especially the bloated Metal Gear saga) but for film translations, I'd take it down a bit.  There would of course be other supporting characters, but those are your core.  Bioshock I think lends itself to a more direct translation, oddly enough, as Metal Gear Solid's story needs some heavy pruning.  I'd probably combine elements of 1, 2, and 4.

Igår kväll fick jag då äntligen se den nya Batmanfilmen. Och vilken film! Jag älskade varje sekund (utom kanske biljakten, biljakter är så trist men hey, hur ofta får man se en långtradare flyga?). Skyskraporna, mörkret, allt var underbart.
Dessutom var det en kavalkad av favoritskådisar: Gary Oldman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Morgan Freeman...
Christian Bale som Batman var väldigt bra, Heath Ledger som Jokern var fantastisk. Ändå gillade jag nog Oldman som Gordon bäst. Ja, den var otroligt bra helt enkelt. Den här kommer jag att se många gånger, den placerar sig i samma liga som Blade runner och Kill Bill-filmerna.

(Den ena väninnan tyckte den var för långsam, den andra väninnan att den var för lång. Konstigt folk!)

I recently watched a DVD copy of THE MACHINE GIRL and after 97 minutes of wanton brutality, decapitation, out-of-this-world weapons and typical nice-girl-gets-wronged-and-seeks-revenge theme reminiscent of KILL BILL, I have to pass judgment one way or another.

But before I do that, first things first. The Machine Girl is about a pretty orphan schoolgirl named Ami whose little brother was killed by a bunch of high school thugs led by a scion of a wealthy Ninja-Yakuza family. She tries to avenge his death by hunting down those responsible.

The movie opens with Ami, in classic japanese serafuku uniform accosting a group of high school bullies who were picking on a boy. It turns out that this was the same group that bullied her brother to death. While the cheesy opening credits flashed with classic B-Movie flair, the bullies fell one after the other as Ami unloaded rounds upon rounds of bullets upon them. What follows is a series of flashbacks showing how his brother died and how her quest for revenge went wrong, leading to her capture and the dismemberment of her left arm in the hands of the cruel ninja-yakuza family. For some reason, however, she managed to escape and meet willing partners in revenge who also gave her an outsized machinegun glove tailor-made for her left arm which was cut just below the elbow. She resumes her quest and loses more friends and gains more enemies in the process. Several decapitations, copious amounts of spurting blood a la Kill Bill, a chainsaw, a flying guillotine and a drill bra later, she stands bloody and torn yet victorious - and still wearing her cute sailor moon uniform to boot.

The story is a bit of a cliche and the effects have "FAKE" written all over them. The movie does not make an effort to hide its surreal, anime influence with the characters behaving in a cartoony manner as silly enemy rituals and formations reminiscent of Bioman and Maskman abound. A lot of gory things bordered on the goofy as well especially when Ami's hand was turned into a giant tempura by one of the bullies' parents. This coming from a movie that is classified as Action/Horror. A good anime upbringing and a healthy dose of Fangoria or love for Clive Barker novels would definitely help one appreciate this movie even more.

The movie was released direct to video in the US but was shown in theaters last August 2 in Japan according to Wikipedia. I doubt it's going to be screened elsewhere with the sheer amount  of bodies cut in half, heads a-flying, and general splatter and gore presented every few minutes or so. For little pervs and schoolgirl fetishists out there however, there's precious little to expect as cute Ami did not give a lot of upskirts here. Shaider's sidekick Annie will give her a run for her knickers everytime.

For all its shortcomings and gory cheesiness, I'd be a lying bastard if I didn't say I enjoyed this movie. Kawaii!
