When I wrote my article about that Stephen King book I said that I would see the movie and come with some comments regarding it. And I also said I thought it would suck.

Well, I stand corrected. First of all, I totally forgot to write anything at all. Second of all, it didn’t suck. It followed the book pretty well and I was satisfied after watching it. Of course, since the movie was directed by George A. Romero you’d expect it to be great.

I think you’d enjoy this movie regardless if you’ve read the book or not. You’ll definitely not be disappointed with the adaptation anyways. Quite intense, good acting, and not all too predictable.

What’s more important is what you find when you google “the dark half” for pictures. Right there among the search results were a naked female butt. Look for yourself:

That’s right, it has nothing at all to do with the movie, but it’s damn nice.

So where were we? Oh yeah, right. The movie was really enjoyable bla bla bla. Go see it.

Showdown At Area 51. It is just as bad as it sounds. This is some kind of low-budget crappy movie made 2 years ago, and it really holds no standard at all. Everything sucked big time about this piece of shit. The acting were bad. The special effects were terrible. The story was not believable. It is so bad I didn’t even find any good pictures to put in the post when I googled the movie’s name.

But all that would be cool if it only contained some ass-kicking aliens. It didn’t. How cheap can you be when you let the alien be humanoids and don’t show off anything “alienish” than some kind of fancy-pantsy armor (which by the way was made really terrible). So we get two aliens from two different species facing off on planet Earth, where one of them is trying to save the citizens of our planet while the other one wants to annihilate us.

Woooooow. Really amazing story. Jesus fucking christ, if it were to be this kind of cheesy would you at least give me some motherfucking gore, blood, mutilation or terror. You get none of this. (Well, some blood but the amount is just too little. One dude gets his arm chopped off, that’s pretty cool. Other than that there’s like almost none).

You can safely disregard this movie without feeling you’ve missed out on the best movie this century. I promise you.

MWAHAHAHAHA!

I feel dirty and ashamed of being swedish… xD

Probably interesting to read (if you understand Swedish and are interested in the rave culture). Click here to go there. It is free to download (legally) as a PDF, or you can order the book in printed format for around 200 SEK. I haven’t got around to reading it yet, but I’m planning to.

I will probably be back with a review and some opinions when I’m done. If I ever finish it.

We’ll celebrate my 1000th post with some good shit:

Bazzleggerz – Meet Her At The Boot Lake

Starring Keanu Reeves as the visiting alien Klaatu (its perfect if you think about it. He is the man without any capability of showing emotional faces – hence, he’s the perfect alien) and John Cleese and some other no-namers, this is a remake of that damn old movie from the 50’s with the same name. Watched it the other day in full HD (1080p), and I must say it was quite impressive. Not for the actors sake or the story, but for the special effects.

The story: When a sphere from outer space lands in the Central Park in Manhattan, a group of scientists are summoned by the American government under the call of the Secretary of Defense Regina Jackson (she’s a total bitch by the way). The reborn alien form Klaatu is brought to a military facility and Dr. Helen Benson (played by Jennifer Connelly; she sucks) decides to help him to escape and become the only chance to save the mankind from destruction (like every human being would do. Right?).

If it weren’t for the ending (it sucked more than a french hoe) I would’ve been more positive to this movie. The only really good thing about this movie is as mentioned earlier the special effects. And Klaatu kicks ass (the character Klaatu, that is).

The third installment in the Death Nove (live acting) movies. This time it focuses on L completely, and starts around the same time the second movie ends. No more death gods in this movie (except in the beginning) – but instead we get to see L try to solve a crime involving an infectous virus disease spread by an extremist group who’re trying to depopulate the earth from humans.

I kinda liked it. First of all you get to hear japanese people try to speak english (yep, some of the dialogue is in english). And you know that it sounds hilariously funny (no harm meant, I think japanese people are the coolest ones on earth). What more, the ending is a bit sad and makes you actually feel for the main character.

In L: Change The World we even get to know some background history of other characters and locations known from the original anime series. I don’t think however that you’ll enjoy it if you haven’t seen the anime before. This movie is to be regarded more as a fan-service than a mainstream blockbusting entertainer.

Death Note: The Last Name. It’s like not even a sequel, it’s more like a second part of the first movie. The plot thickens as we follow Kira killing more people and his protagonist ‘L’ trying hist best with some chosen officers to catch the badguy (or goodguy, depending on how you look upon things).

This time however it becomes quite apparent that they’ve strolled away some from the series. Even the ending is different from the original anime. I’m not saying this is necessarily bad, since I don’t know which ending I liked the most.

All I can say is that if you’ve seen the first movie you have to see this. (Naturally, since otherwise you don’t get to see an ending at all).

Hilarious. Seriously! (Thanks Lucas ).

2 movies were made in 2006, and a spinoff movie were produced in 2008. This is the first one they made (IMDB link). First of all, it’s japanese. This means the movie is good. Second of all, the special effects (i.e. the animation of the Death God Ryuuk) were damn well done considering this is not a blockbuster movie with like … a budget of $1,000,000,000,000.

Of course they don’t manage to get everything from the series into the movie – and thus has to do some compromises to be trustworthy. But I don’t mind them, they’ve kept the defining characteristics of the main characters and that’s all that matters. I’m not dissapointed.

I don’t know how many episodes this spans over, but it leaves you with a cliffhanger. So I’m gonna see the other one right about now since I’m doing no better than curing my fever anyways. Which sucks big time.

Yagami Light and “his” Shinigami Ryuuk.

If you liked the Death Note anime, then I bet you already have this movie on your wishlist.

Since I’ve been home sick I’ve entertained myself with watching an anime that actually has an ending (wow!). Death Note.

Plot (yep, copy-paste): Yagami Light is an ace student with great prospects, who’s bored out of his mind. One day he finds the “Death Note”: a notebook from the realm of the Death Gods, with the power to kill people in any way he desires. With the Death Note in hand, Light decides to create his perfect world, without crime or criminals. However, when criminals start dropping dead one by one, the authorites send the legendary detective L to track down the killer, and a battle of wits, deception and logic ensues…

The thing that I like with this anime is that it makes you think. Not making you think in a moral way, but in a rational and logical way. The plot twists and the ingenious ways the characters think and reason are thrilling. Another positive thing is that it actually ends. Stretching over 37 episodes it’s not that much to browse through (in contrast to Bleach or Naruto which are like… never-ending. Seriously).

What more is that they’ve made like 3 movies out of this. I’m going for them next, so I’ll get back to the blog with my usual reviews.

Until then I’d really recommend this one. Death Note is seriously on my top 10 list of animes. I’m not shitting you. Grab this sucker and see it. You’ll love it.

Seriously, does these things really exist? Think I’ll stay with my tub at home and cancel my summer vacation…

(Yes, it is real and it is called Anglerfish). Freaky motherfucker!

When sitting home and having fever, there’s not much to do except heal yourself and occassionally go through old photos in your computer. I found that I hadn’t uploaded these photos, form a party which were held like… half a year ago. So here they are, hopefully they’ll bring back some nice memories for you. They did for me, anyways.

• Facebook (Part I)
• Facebook (Part II)
• Flickr Slideshow

Introducing the fucktard pose!

It was a while ago this party was held, but here are some pictures I don’t think I’ve posted (creds to the photographer).

Found these too lying around in some kind of forgotten folder. Probably not interesting for you if you’re not part of my family, but check them out on Flickr if you’re interested:

• Go there!

Found some images lying around on my drive today. I think most of them were from a Sweapsound session, don’t remember who were the DJ though. Probably Halloween edition 2008 .

(My map of d00m!)

This is exactly what it looks like. A (funny) parody of horror movies starring sheeps in New Zeeland. Story: Some kind of scientific genetic experiment goes terribly wrong on the island, and sheep starts attacking people – turning the people into sheep themselves! Of course they lust for human flesh like zombies, so in fact we have some kind of… err… Zheepie (Zombie-sheep combination).

It is fucking brilliant and so stupid it becomes hilarious. I laughed my ass of to the dry “jokes” and all implicit comedy/political sarcasm/gore parody. Speaking of gore you get plenty of that here, and it is pretty well done. The actors are quite good too I must say, even if it is their task to look like a set of complete fucktards (how hard can it be?)

With these kind of movies there’s always a risk that it becomes a bit too cheesy. But it doesn’t. I’d say this sucker holds an equally high quality class (regarding plot and dialogue quality) as Evil Dead. (Which is just another way of saying it kicks some brutal ass!)

It’s clever, funny, not really scary but a bit thrilling, gory, and definitely worth seeing! Here are some stills from the movie to work up your appetite:

“baaaaahhhh!”

One mean motherfucking genetically modified sheep-baby

Sheep says watch movie. Or sheep will eat your intestines.

Too bad my batteries in the camera were depleted like in the middle of the party. But anyways, here’s something to remember the night with…

This is some nice, heavy shit! Like great music should sound like. This is pure love.

Fucking hilarious! This is one of the better stoner-movies I’ve seen in a long while. God damn brilliant is what it is! Starring actors such as Seth Rogen (Zack & Miri Make A Porno, Superbad, You, Me and Dupree, The 40 Year Old Virgin, and more), Craig Robinson (The Office), James Franco (The Spiderman movies and probably some other shitty movies), and of course Mr. Super Badass Gary Cole (A shitload of series and movies) – this is one of the most entertaining movies I’ve seen.

The plot, stolen from IMDB: Lazy court-process clerk and stoner Dale Denton has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver: to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop and the city’s most dangerous drug lord, he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him–and it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they’re not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia: incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. All aboard the Pineapple Express.

You get a lot of action, a lot of weed, and it is really funny and clever (even if you haven’t smoked anything yourself – I didn’t when I watched it and I enjoyed it anyways). Great acting, entertaining story and like… everything was great! And then there is the dialogues too. They’re top notch. So I’ll finish this review by serving you some quotes:

“I’m not gonna wake up murdered tomorrow”

“Shut the fuck up! Do you know what shut the fuck up mean?”

“Suck-o my balls – two times!”

“War is upon you! Prepare to suck the cock of karma!”

“You just got killed by a Daewoo Lanos, motherfucker!”

Go see it and have yourself a laugh or two.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no. This was not good. This wasn’t even “bad so it is good”. It was like the worst crap ever. Usually I like these kind of B-horror movies, but they have to be at least clever, funny, or overwhelming with gore. This had nothing of that. Just some crappy acting together with fucked up special effects when we’re talking about the blood.

Synopsis: In 1590, Coronado dispatched a division of one thousand men to find El Dorado, the legendary city of gold. Those men were never seen again. While searching some Baja peninsula caves as part of an archeological expedition, a university professor and his students unwittingly unleash a long dormant curse. They soon find themselves in a life or death battle with an army of skeletal warriors, the undead remnants of Coronado’s conquistadors.

Sounds interesting, eh? Too bad the only good thing about this fucked up movie was the skeletons. The animations were pretty solid and well done. All other things were bullshit. I thought I had something epic like… I don’t know, for example Evil Dead. Hell no. Instead I got like 90 minutes of crap. Which also ruined my night’s sleep and thus made me tired at work today.

Skip this piece of crap and stick to the good horror movies instead. Please.

My pictures are finally up from the party the other night. You’ll find (the same set of pictures) at:

Movies are coming later on…

Enjoy =).

Let me make this review extremely short for you. Poseidon is just like Titanic except the boat gets hit by a giant wave instead of hitting a ice berg, and it is better in one sense and worse in another sense depending on what kind of type you are.

If you are like my girlfriend (likes drama and lovey-dovey-stuff and that kind of bullcrap), then this is not as good. You don’t get as close to the characters as you did in Titanic.

If you are more like me (badass, kickass, loves gore, blood and explosions) then this is better. People get killed in cruel ways and it is a hell of a lot shorter than that crappy movie Titanic. And it is a good thing it doesn’t get all mushy on your face with love-stuff and such (although there are some retarded scenes where they try to put that crap into the plot. Love drama, that is).

I think you can skip Poseidon. There are better movies out there.

Got a new pair of shoes I haven’t really dared to try out yet…

Black suit + warm weather != win

Dad tried to show us how you make a turban out of a scarf. I think he looks kinda funny.

Pajas #1 and Pajas #2. Famous guys at LTE.

Another pajas (a.k.a “Carl-Jan”).

Lucas got his mouse decorated – by me =].

It’s fascinating how retarded you can look while playing Nintendo Wii.

Here are some pictures I took with my Samsung Omnia when I went on a cruise to celebrate on of Carina’s friends getting one year older.

I know, they suck. And no, I didn’t take any really “funny” pictures since I was shitfaced most of the time and didn’t think about photography so much back then…

This review is like a couple of weeks late, but anyways. I was home at Flack’s place to see this much anticipated piece of art that so many people have said so much good things about. I mean, you got some post-apocalyptic warfare, mutants, explosions, chicks, Ron Perlman, Doomsday closing in, and so on. What can possibly go wrong?

Everything.

The movie sucked. Believe me, I really tried to like it. I really did. I wanted to like it, but I couldn’t. A universe where there is a fraction who calls themselves “Bauhaus” can’t really be taken seriously.

The problem lies in the fact that everything in the movie seems so scripted and stupid. Like one dude breaking free from the group and attacking a bunch of mutants just because his friend is being their prey. Stupid fucktard, you will of course get everyone killed (which he almost did). Such non-sense disrupts the movie, which on the other hand where quite beatiful considering the esthetics; dirty, post-apocalyptic environments together with lot of gore, explosions and large kickass machines. And Ron Perlman. It’s like paradise.

(One thing to note is that I didn’t know anything about the Mutant Chronicles role-playing game before watching this movie. I didn’t even know it existed such a game).

I can’t really say that I would recommend this one, since it doesn’t meet up to my expectations. But it is hell of a lot better than watching a movie starring Hugh Grant (Flack would probably disagree here…) =].

And you get Ron Perlman. So why not? Just don’t expect too much.

Okay. So how can I make this review as small as possible? I’ll answer your questions: Funny? Yes. Hilarious? No. Entertaining? Yes. Works well as a Oh-My-God-I’m-So-Hung-Over-Movie? Yes. Sexy girls in the movie? Yes. Raises thoughts in your head? Hell no. Predictable? Hell yes.

That should be it. Go see it if you want to.

A.K.A Deep Fear. As far as I’ve understood this is a low-budget movie festival shit that holds a bit higher quality than the average shit they show at these events. And I agree to a certain extent. I think that the strength of Unearthed is that Charlie Murphy (Eddie Murphy’s brother) is one of the main characters.

I didn’t really get the story, but there are some kind of underground monster who comes alive after like… an eternal rest and starts killing people in a small american southern town (or sumthin’ like that). One person after another is killed, like in a Terror on Elm Street or Friday the 13th movie (yeah, the movie really works like those classic horror movies). Gore scenes are okay, but not spectacular (except when one dude get his head split in half – that’s pretty cool).

Unearthed is not the best horror movie ever made, but it is worth seeing, if you happen to stumble upon it. Don’t bother paying too muh to see it though, it’s not that good.

Mirrors is one of the better horror movies I’ve seen. Really.
Synopsis: Kiefer Sutherland plays the role as a former cop who gets a job as a watchman at an old, burned down department store (why would you want a watchman in such a place, really?). Anyways. There’s a lot of mirrors there. And strange things start to happen as he works his way through the night shifts. He sees things in the mirrors that isn’t reflected in the real world. It seems as if there is something supernatural going on inside the mirrors.

Then people start dying. The die after their mirror image does terrible things to theirselves. It is a shame that it is a bit too “Hollywoodish” type of fear (you know, that kind of fear which make you jump high in the chair) instead of japanese quality fear (i.e. suspension and psychological terror). But even with that fact in mind, I did enjoy this movie. Since the gory scenes and the special effects are done so well, and I can’t complain about the acting either. And, of course, the end is a bit intriguing. See for yourself, I think you will like it.
