I have been AFK all weekend due to quite a few commitments in the real world that required my personal attention, normal Blogging will resume when i get home sometime tonight around 21.00 GMT if i can shake off 48 hours of sleep deprivation and this sodding migraine that has plagued me since early Friday morning when i found out i had all this pre holiday work to do.
South Boston teenager Jason Tripitikas (Michael Angarano) awakens from a dream of a battle between the Monkey King Sun Wukong (Jet Li) and heavenly soldiers amongst the clouds. He is a fan of kung fu movies; posters cover the walls of his room, and on his TV is the 1966 Hong Kong film "Monkey Goes West". After getting dressed, he makes his way to a pawn shop in downtown Boston's China town to buy wuxia DVDs. There, Jason converses with Hop (a prosthetics-laden Jackie Chan), the shop's elderly owner, and, while thumbing through some DVDs, he is drawn to a golden staff inside a room full of antiques. Hop tells him that the staff is to be delivered to its rightful owner and then closes the door.
On his way back home, Jason is attacked by local bully Lupo (Morgan Benoit) and his cronies, who force him to go back to the pawnshop at night so that Hop will open the door, allowing them to steal his money. Feeling betrayed, Hop tries to attack the thieves with the staff, but is shot by Lupo. Hop, wounded, tells Jason that Jason must now deliver the staff to its rightful owner. Jason takes the staff and runs from the thieves. On top of a building, he is surrounded by the bullies, as Lupo fears that Jason will expose the shooting to the police and intends to silence him. Before Lupo can shoot, Jason is suddenly pulled off the roof by the staff and falls backwards onto the asphalt, and through time.
As he awakens in ancient China he is confronted by a small group of armored warriors who recognize the staff and attempt to take it from him....and....
....that's where im cutting you off folks as frankly i think I have spoiled enough of the flick.
so sit back relax grab your (by now very stale) popcorn and enjoy the movie.
Blogg? what blogg?...
On their first day of high school, two boys, Ryan and Wade, are embarrassed by the fact that they happen to wear the same shirt (yes seriously...i mean wtf?). Wade sticks up for a smaller fellow geek, Emmit Oosterhaus, who is being shoved into a locker by bullies Filkins and Ronnie. As a result the violent bullies Filkins and Ronnie terrorizes all three at every chance they get.
The trio complain to the principal, but their concerns fall upon deaf ears. Filkins is furious that the boys have squealed on him, and even chases them with a car, apparently to murder them. Wade suggests to his friends that they pool their money together to hire a bodyguard who can protect them. They place an ad on the Internet, and select Drillbit Taylor out of several candidates, mainly because he is the cheapest.
Lunacy ensues as the dumbfounded and frankly idiotic Drillbit attempts to teach them to be cool and defend themselves while at the same time utterly failing to guard them in any way shape or form.
This is a good old fashioned feel good movie with little to no fuss made while retaining a simplistic slapstick humorous bent through the entirety of the film.
ok folks you know the drill by now, grab your popcorn and dim the lights, Its movie magic time!
Well then its that time again all you American maniacs, Its time to vote yourselves a leader or as i like to call it "close your eyes and vote for the biggest idiot day" ...
Movie night is once again late but none the less its a modern classic. No Country For Old Men is an eclectic mix of the crime and thriller genre's with a ultraviolent streak of a demented mind attempting to get back that which he lost at all costs. this incredable film is adapted perfectly by the Coen Brothers from the truly classic Cormac McCarthy Novel of the same name and in my opinion should be picked up from your local book store or library and read by all of you as soon as humanly possible.
Po (Jack Black) is a panda who works in a noodle restaurant owned by his goose father Mr. Ping (James Hong), who hopes that Po will one day take over the restaurant, and wishes to disclose with him the secret ingredient of his family's noodle soup. Po is a kung fu fanatic with secret dreams of becoming a great master in the discipline. However, his weight and clumsiness make his goal difficult to attain.
The tortoise Master Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) has a premonition that the evil snow leopard warrior Tai Lung (Ian McShane), the former student of his own protégé, the red panda Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman), will escape from prison and return to threaten the Valley of Peace. While Shifu sends Zeng (Dan Fogler), a messenger goose, to Chor Ghom Prison to have the security increased, Oogway orders a formal ceremony to choose the Dragon Warrior, a supreme master of kung fu who can defeat Tai Lung. It is assumed that one of the Furious Five—Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie 'Freaking' Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu), and Crane (David Cross)—a quintet of supremely skilled martial artists trained by Shifu, will be chosen for this honor. Po, in his attempts to see the Dragon Warrior, finds himself in the middle of the ceremony. Oogway surprises everyone by designating Po himself as the Dragon Warrior despite Po's protests and Shifu's pleas to reconsider. Ridiculous levels of idiocy and hilarity ensue as the quartet attempt to turn a clumsy if kind hearted oaf in to a kung fu master via a myriad of montages that unfortunately take up the batter part of the movie while referencing such classic movies as the Karate kid and Enter the Dragon.
All in all its a good board weekend movie with Jack Black essentially camera whoring the entire feature as Po with his usual level of over the top vocal talent and trademark physical humor perfectly emulated in his on screen persona. As usual i suggest a little boot time prior to watching and the grabbing of a extra large bucket of popcorn while you wait.
See you all tomorrow and once again i apologize for the crass commercialism in the previous post.

May 22, 6:43 pm. Rob's brother Jason Hawkins and his girlfriend Lily Ford prepare a Manhattan apartment for Rob's farewell party, as he has accepted a job at his company's Japan office. Rob's friend Hudson "Hud" Platt is given a camera by Jason and the responsibility of recording final goodbyes from family and friends at the party, but instead unsuccessfully flirts with his crush, Marlena Diamond. Beth arrives with a date, Travis, which upsets Rob. To his dismay, he realizes he was taping over footage of him and Beth, including their trip to Coney Island, which shows up intermittently throughout the film. Lily reveals Rob and Beth slept together several weeks previously, which Hud then shares with others at the party, making matters worse. Rob provokes Beth and her date into leaving the party.
While Hud and Jason try to talk to Rob, the building shakes. A loud guttural roar can be heard emanating from outside as there is a power outage throughout the city. When the power returns, everyone turns on the local news, where the anchor explains that there was an earthquake and an oil tanker has capsized in the bay off Lower Manhattan. Curious partygoers and neighbors go up to the roof to spot the disaster, where they witness an explosion in Lower Manhattan. As fire and debris begin to rain down, the partygoers flee to the street below. Suddenly, the horrifyingly familiar yet mangled head of the statue of liberty crashes down into the street beside them and insanity ensues as the terrified population attempt to flee the city...
Hey there folks and welcome back to Movie Night here at Aries antics, tonight im keeping it simple with a good old fashioned comedy romp Pineapple Express (2008)So anyway the film starts off in the year 1937 in a secret underground government laboratory where tests are being performed on the effects of marijuana. Private Greg B. Miller (Bill Hader) is a subject in a test to decide if marijuana should be illegal. Miller, obviously high, begins to insult the government and his superiors. As a result, the government deems marijuana illegal and quickly "disposes of" Private Miller.
Jumping to the present day, Dale Denton (Rogen), a 25 year-old process serving stoner, visits his girlfriend Angie (Amber Heard) at her high school and argues about accepting an invitation to eat dinner with her family. Next, he visits his equally stoned dealer, Saul Silver (Franco), to buy bud. Saul offers him a rare and potent strain of marijuana called Pineapple Express alleged to be “the dopest dope [you]’ve ever smoked". After making his purchase, Dale agrees to smoke a 'cross-shaped' joint with Saul before leaving. He then leaves his apartment, smokes more, and ends up in front of the house of the next person he is supposed to serve, Ted Jones (Gary Cole), who Saul has mentioned as a drug lord.
While waiting outside in his car smoking a joint made of Pineapple Express, Dale witnesses Ted and a corrupt female police officer, Carol Brazier (Rosie Perez) commit murder. As Dale panics, he accidently throws his roach out the window and leaves the scene, while hitting two parked cars in the process (one being Carol's police cruiser). As Ted and Carol run outside to find Dale driving away, they determine that he saw the murder and are able to classify the roach he threw out the window as the rare Pineapple Express. Dale drives back to Saul's in a panic to ask Saul about Ted and eventually concludes that he could be traced back to Saul by the rare Pineapple Express (Saul is the only dealer who has it, and Ted is the only supplier). Dale and Saul leave the apartment. Meanwhile, Ted is determined to catch the witness of the murder so he dispatches two of his thugs, Matheson (Craig Robinson) and Budlofsky (Kevin Corrigan), so that they could find and dispose Dale and Saul. You can pretty much guess what happens when wasted guys and a pile of superweed end up chased by a druglord so im gonna stop the spoilers here.
