All I gotta say is they put the suitcase in the movie!

The film director known as George “king of zombies” Romero is only known for his gory social allegories the “Dead” series (Night,Dawn,and Day of the living Dead).These were the standard for the modern zombie flick. In between making Night of the living dead and Dawn of the Dead he also made two other films not zombie related, one was “Martin” a variation of a vampire movie and “The Crazies” a bio-terror movie. Both films flopped and only true fans have seen them, not saying they’re bad movies, just not widely seen. Now fast forward 37 years later and The Crazies gets the remake treatment…does it suck? Heeelllll to the NO.

Sarah Palin loses verbal battle to downs syndrome actress…Sarah Palin should just stop, period. How this woman is still relevant is beyond me. When will she ever realize that all she was is a marketing tool for the republicans…and a bad one at that. Seeing Russia from her back window, the Katie Kouric interview, baby momma drama and resigning her governorship early…she’s a comedians dream. They thought a semi-milfy and “earthy” white woman would bring in the white working class voters, to no avail. Why? Because even they could tell she’s not too bright. A book was released recently, a biography, with her on the cover looking ever-so confidently into the horizon, so clichéd and pre-packaged I almost puke at the sight of it.

When the hell did the iPhone become capable of pumping out quality like this!

What the F! Scorsese, I want that two hours of my life back! That’s what I thought while coming out the theater. Sure some people may feel smarter or more cultured by sitting through an incredibly predictable and long movie that takes itself way to seriously…but not me. When I go to a movie I want to be entertained and sadly shutter island did not do that, at all. This film is full of missed climaxes and disappointing revelations…just imagine if you were 16, sneaking a girl home and right before you hit the “big” moment your mom busts in the room…that’s what this movie does to you, on MULTIPLE occasions.

Hey people, if you happened to purchase a new copy of Darksiders you probably noticed that grey sheet of paper with the big DO NOT DISCARD on the front. Well low and behold that secret code on the paper is redeemable for a free copy of Red Faction: Guerrilla and a digital art book for Darksiders. If you happened to buy the game used you’re pretty much assed out. If you bought the game new and lost the sheet you can still claim your game you’ll just need a copy of your receipt from the purchase of your game. Oh, there is a $4.99 shipping and handling fee but you still end up getting a $20 game and a digital art book for 5 bucs hell, even Gamestop would probably give you 6 bucs trade in…before selling it for $18.99 lol

I loooooove me some anime, have all my life. Now having said that, don’t think my review is biased, I’m well aware that just like kung-fu films, anime is 80% semi-trash, 20% gold. But ohh that 20% is usually reserved for the masters of the genre like Miyazaki, Rintaro and Katsuhiro Ottomo. With the release of “The Animatrix”, a compilation of animated shorts that allowed some of the top Japanese animators to give their insights into the Matrix universe to help move the mythology of  the live action movies forward. This began a trend that at the time was innovative and ground breaking. This trend continued with the release of “Gotham Knights” 6 animated shorts by more of Japan’s top animators, interpreting the Batman mythology. In my opinion just meh, not as awesome as I thought it would be.
