Bernie Mac's death is insufficient compared to Heath Ledgers

October 5 1997 - August 9 2008

Okay I don't if you have ever been on the boards for IMDB.com but it is a great site to chat to other people about actors and movies. However there are a few times where it can be absolutely disgusting. When I found out about Bernie Mac's death of course I went to his page on IMDB.com and when I gazed upon his boards I could see horrible topics about the death of actors. People were actually comparing Bernie Mac's death to Heath Ledger. Some were saying that Ledger's death is more tragic then Mac's. Now this really started to grind my gears. How can you compare deaths? Is one person more sufficient than the other. No! All deaths are sad and they should never be compared. This year we lost three great actors, that I am aware of, Bernie Mac, Heath Ledger, George Carlin and plenty of more that I am not aware of.

April 4 1979 - January 22 2008

It's not even just the comparison of deaths that anger me. There is one board that quotes "Why couldn't it have been Cedric the Entertainer?". They actually were referring that another person should die instead. We are all human beings, sure death might be cool in movies or even funny on shows like Family Guy. In real life there is no laughter or oohs and aahs when someone dies. There are only tears from the family and friends who have lost someone close to them.

It just sickens me how people could be so cold.

Upcoming Movies - Students Killing one another

Here is a movie spin-off that is coming soon that I thought I should let you know about.

It is none other than Battle Royale. I don't know if you have ever heard of it but it was an extremely controversial novel, written by Koushun Takami, that was later on turned into a Japanese cult classic movie. Battle Royale is about a high school class that is forced to kill each other. Although it is not guaranteed that this one will be made, because of the Virginia Tech Massacre (for obvious reasons). The original one is an excellent movie that dealt with student relationships, guns, love, hate and more. It is definitely one my top favourite films. If you ever get a chance to go to Japan, make sure to grab the DVD. If your lucky they might have it at a Chinese night market.

Also if you loved Kill Bill. The actress who plays Gogo Yubari is in it.

500 HITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much you guys for all the support of the site. I can't believe I was able to get this high. Thanks for supporting my blog.

This year's summer movies

I want to hear what you think are the best summer films of the season. Personally my fave this year is The Dark Knight. Not watching the last Batman film, I had no idea of what to expect. I knew for sure however that Heath would give an outstanding performance. However, I was shockingly surprised to see the Academy Award Winner for Best Picture. It is really that good. What do you guys think? Which is the best movie of the summer? Is it Iron Man, Indiana, Mamma Mia, Stone Angel or whatever? Tell me what you think is the best movie for summer 2008.

August Rush makes everyone believe again

I know it has been awhile since I have put up a review on my site but here is a movie that just makes you feel so inspired to follow your passion. The film I am reviewing today is August Rush.

It has been a long time since I have seen film that makes you feel this good. The cast does a wonderful job showing their belief in music.

Having shared one extraordinary night, cellist Lyla Novacek (Keri Russel) and rock sing Louis Connelly (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) were a fairytale couple that was broken up by unfortunate circumstances. Eleven years later, both are miserable and share a feeling of incompleteness. Evan (Freddie Highmore) is the son that both of them never knew they had. He too feels incomplete. Evan knows that he can find his parents through the power of music, one day he stops and listens and follows the music.

This movie has a sort of magic to it. For me, Robin Williams really stands out in this movie playing the villainous "Wizard". He was creepy and malicious with all the kids and should have been nominated for at least a Golden Globe. As for the rest of the cast, Freddie Highmore is cute and definitely shows his passion for music throughout the film. There is once scene with Freddie Highmore and Jonathan Rhys Meyers that was really nice and well executed.

As for the music, it was wondrous. The songs had so much passion and emotion in it, even the orchestra music seemed to have voice in it. Jamia Simone Nash hopefully one day will release a record of her own one day (hopefully RnB and not a pop one).

This movie was definetly one of the better ones of 2008 and is definetly worth renting or even buying. August Rush reminds you that it's not impossible to reach your dreams. Your dreams can become a reality if you work hard for it.

My Oppinions on "Torture Porn"

Movies such as the Saw series and the Hostel series are movies that shouldn't be judged by the storyline. It should be judged on how realistic the gore is. I mean honestly when you watch these movies, you don't expect it to win any Academy Awards. The only reason why we watch these films is because we want to see a bunch of idiotic teens and young adults get mutilated from bit by bit. So who cares if the storyline bites all we need is some good blood splattering fun.

The reason I'm writing this because I always here reviewers criticize the storylines. I just think that reviewers need to look at these films in a different way.

It's been awhile but here's number 7 to the Top Disney List

7.


I found Toy Story 1 and 2 both equally good. The first one had great moments with Sid, he was a great start to the Toy Story villians. Then of course you get the sweet mellow sounds of "You've Got a Friend in Me" by Randy Newman. How many times have your kids sang that song. Then you get Toy Story 2 with the feisty cowgirl, Jessie, who is the main reason that Toy Story 2 did so well. When she sang "When She Loved Me", I'm pretty damn sure that everyone that watches that scene is filled up with tears or at least gets a lump in their throat. So those are my two picks for number seven. I really couldn't pick one as better film because they're just so great.

Just to let fans know, it is confirmed that there will be a Toy Story 3. Hopefully it can live up to both these films.
