The Power of Ideas

This is one very sad story at the end when realized.
Though it is only fictitious, but this might be one incident of reality!
It was an idea, an idea that would kill a man but not his dreams!
That's how heroic stories almost always end!

But, do you know or do not?

This is how that story began..................

Remember remember, the 5th of November,.

the gunpowder treason and plot.

I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason

should ever be forgot.

But what of the man?

I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know in 1605,

he attempted to blow up the House of Parliament.

But who was he really?

What was he like?

We are told to remember the idea and not the man,

because a man can fail!

He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten.

But 400 years later an idea can still change the world!

I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas.

I've seen people killed in the name of them and die defending them!

But you cannot kiss an idea,

cannot touch it or hold it.

Ideas do not bleed.

They do not feel pain.

They do not love!

And it is not an idea that I miss.

It is the man!

A man that made me remember the 5th of November.

A man that I will not forget!

So, does anyone recognize this face? This mask?

It do look familiar isn't it? For those who are fans,

this don't need any explanation.

Some has known it but may not have watched it because 

it is in Comic scripts before it became a movie.

However, this has been a DC Comic and a brilliantly

plotted fiction novel!

Yes, it is V for VENDETTA
I personally loved the speech spoken throughout the story!
I shall say it was fantastic! I just love it!
And the actor carried himself as superb as 
the Director, James McTeigure!
Well, as it is you don't get to see the real face of V because
he is always hiding behind it's mask. And I would not
know if he has been Hugo Weaving. 
I only knew and seen much of Natalie Portman,
the lead female role, Evey!

I really love the part that he spoke of the many words of V.
Almost in one breath that blurted them all!
I would not wanna write the whole incident 
but I can relate those words that was being used.

vaudeville villain veteran

victim and villain

vicariously, vicissitudes

visage, veneer of vanity

vestige, vacant and vanished

valorous visitation

vexation stands vivified

vowed to vanquish these venal

virulent vermin van guarding vice

vouchsafing the violence vicious 

and voracious violation of volition

verdict is vengeance in VENDETTA!

Finally, the word Vendetta is mentioned

after such long speech! Phew!

Worst is I would not understand many of it!

I needed dictionary and time to really understand

their meanings individually!

Wait! But that was not all! It continues......

votive not in vain

veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant

verify the vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose

Well, that was about it! Kinda indulgence to get so many words in V!

Honestly there has been much more words to really appreciate

and keeps one glued to his seat! The action might be a little

of the other movie by Hugh Jackman of the X-Men fame

in Van Helsing, about the vampire killer in his youthful days

but, in a different storyline.

This story is a predicament of a mass masacre place of
a certain scientific experiment called Larkhill Detention Centre, 
a home that is called The Shadow of Gallery.

And that is how the story ends.

My, I really love getting deeper into it! I'd recommend getting the DvD 
and watch it!

Like I said it before, this ain't a movie review bLoG but I really

love to relate them! Until another episode, I'll be seeing you more!

;-} as usual, cheerio! Have a pleasant week ahead!

I really wanna be here any other alternate day!

ps - this has been a movie produced by Joel Silver, 

and I am his ardent fan!

S M I L E!

  

Deliverance Goes Underground!

This week starts the premiere of the movie in our country,

some eight months later after being shown in UK and The US

and at my home on DvD!

Yes, I've watched it earlier in February this year!

I beleive quite many might not have watched it as

it is not a very publicized movie.

Even it's posters were so confined with limitations

and I really dunno why it is so not exposed!

Popular movies like Resident Evil and The Hills have eyes

had so much publicity on it long before it's premier.

Well, probably it's about it's creator Neil Marshall.

His Dog Soldiers ( of 2002 ) has very little publicity too!

I can tell you that I, as a horror flick,

I really love it, and the original Descent 
 (Might as well call it Part One)

At that time I believe a sequent wasn't in mind.

However, this follow up was directed by Jon Harris

instead of Marshall himself though it is still released by Lions Gate.

The story here continues with the rescued sole survivor

of 6 friends, Sarah ( Shawna MacDonald )

who went on a yearly adventure

into a cave system up in the Appalachian Mountains

and found themselves faced with death of deadly creatures 
from the dark deep that feed on fresh meat!

This epic however is quite similar to an earlier movie version

of The Cave that also had creatures of the dark.

I quite like the action drama by Natalie Mendoza

who plays Juno as she portrays herself as close by

as actresses like Kate Beckinsale of Underworld

and Milla Jovovich of Resident Evil.

Probably a bit of the actress who'll be in the next movie, Machette.
Yes, Michelle Rodrigues of Fast and Furious

Honestly, Natalie has the looks and probably that's why

she survived in this part 2.

Until the next episode, have a happy weekEND!

PS - this is not actually a movie review bLoGsite but just that

something reminded me of movies and that's why I am stuck with this

and it's gonna be awhile before I come up with something else!

Well, though I must admit I quite like talking about movies b'cos

I am a movie crazee fan!

The Descent Poster

Oh yes, the bLoG title Deliverance Goes Underground

was actually mentioned by the creator, Neil Marshall.

And this is The Descent!

The Descent - My Video Vault

Collection of The Descent Part 2 was obtained earlier this year 
and I've  watched it during The Lunar New Year in February 2010
before it was shown at the theaters.

Friday the 13th

One would wonder how many Friday 13th happens in a year, have you?

Well, today seems to be the only Friday 13th in this year! 

The next will arrive in May 2011,

which happens to be a bad memory day in our country

where it was a sad day of riot between the people

of which I am not going to relate it.

However, this remake was premiered last year and

there were three (3) Friday 13th in 2009!

This show premiers on February 13th on a Friday,

and the other 2 Friday 13ths happened in March & November!

Some may not have known that this movie, Friday 13th is

related to the name Jason Voorhees who seems to never die!

With him there is unending horrors that surrounds

the vicinity of a place called Crystal Lake.

There has been a series of the continuing horrors on this movie

in which one of them even had him face to face with

Freddy Krueger of The Nightmare on Elm Street! 
It was simply entitled Freddy vs Jason

Well, and it never ended there either because then

there was yet another film that broguht his horrors into SPACE!
Like in space no one hear you sCream?

Yes, and it happens in a distant future where hi-tech existed!

And he was a legend in that future!
It was called Jason X.
Incredibly exciting isn't it?

To sum it all I like this more than the Krueger guy with his

scary dreams! But of course he is also one that hardly ever die too!

Well, if you have not watched it, I suggest you get to a DvD!

What more to say if such a movie is produced by Michael Bay?

Teamed with Director Marcus Nispel of 
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ( in 2003 ),

this film's remake turned out as expected -
Fun and enjoyable for down to earth guys like me!

eNjOy and have HORRORs!

As the quote at the poster goes -

WELCOME TO CRYSTAL LAKE!

Friday the 13th - Theatre Poster

Jason lives in the Future!

Well, might as well share this poster

JASON Voorhees lives in the future with his Never Die horrors!

And at the end of the story, he really never did die, again!

The Masked Man vs The Dream Killer!

The fight between the two UNDIENG!

How did they resolve this?

One talked too much and making hell lot of noice

while the other do not speak and is very silent!

Both kills anyway!

Well, this movie did not fall on a Friday 13th
probably because of Freddy Krueger.

But it happened in the month of August, 2003!

Have you watched all of them yet?

The Jason Horrors - My Video Vault

These are the 2 later parts of the Jason Chronicles, 

one in the future and the other at war with Freddy Krueger!
It form part of my Video Library.
Until next year when Blueray players & discs
gets more affordable, I'll reVault my collection!

Orbital Dysfunctional System

ODS for short, a word the doctors classified from a psychological breakdown from hypersleep malfunction. Yes, hypersleep! Simply means it's in space, where no one will hear you scream!

This is a dramatic horrifying space journey that brings you some nerve-wrecking excitement!
Called The Eden Mission, that leads to this malfunction caused from a two long years of hypersleep in which the pilots ( astraunauts actually ) called it
Shown in theatres last year in October, I only managed to watch it from my home DvD in February this year. I have a bad habit, that is to watch a movie in theatre on the very first day or if I missed, I'll try to watch it at the final day! But the problem is, the theatre operators can't confirm which day is the last unless I happened to find out about it! Mostly I wouldn't and sometimes it's spontaneous - yes, I happened to be there! one in a thousand times!

Well, I'm not going to make this site a movie review page. it's just that movies kept coming on almost endlessly. I mean really good movies! And, mind you, psi-fis, horrors and very dramatic genres comes onto us more often than the rest! People just love this more! That's why after X-Files, you have Fringe! And now a remake of an older Tv series, "V" which has just completed it's Season 1.

Now, back to Pandorum. It's whole story is about this ODS, an illusion of side effects that happens on board a substantially hugh gigantic spacecraft, the Elysium. So the story begins and ends tragically! And the story begins the following opening sequence......

Year one at the planet Taris, population 1213, after the ship was evacuated and launched some 5,000 people into space, into oblivion.

1909 - Man landed on moon. World population - 3.6 billion.
2009 - Kepler telescope launched to search for Earth-like planets
World population - 6.76 billion
2153 - Paleo 17 space probe landed on planet Taris.
Food and water shortage are commonplace.
2173 - The battle for earth's limited resources reaches boiling point.
Spacecraft Elysium is launched.

The scene begins with the flight of Elysium where Pandorum became it's tragic ending!

DON'T FEAR THE END OF THE WORLD

FEAR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!

PANDORUM poster

Far From Grace!

When a soul crosses to the afterlife,

it journeys into one of two opposing realms.

A divine source of evil and malevolence,

a midworld exists for the souls,

whose judgement has yet to be decided.

It is commonly referred to as purgatory!

For centuries,

seven Arc Angels, protectors of the Light,

and seven fallen, soldiers of the Dark,

have silently fought for balance of power,

over the unclaimed souls!

Each side is restricted to sending

only one warrior in every cycle

Upon arrival, they must assume a human form!

At present, darkness rules,

and has the strongest grip on the city,

that it has ever held!

This is the story of the Archangel, Gabriel........

That has been Gabriel that came about in 2007. 
Acted by Andy Whitfield as we see him now in the latest Tv series  
Spartacus, Blood and Sand, 
categorized under vulgar, blood, gore, nudity and sex!

Earlier this year in January, the movie LEGION has the story that God has lost faith in human kind. He sent His Legion of Angels to bring on the Apocalypse and humanity's hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert of nowhere with their savior Archangel, Michael ( Bettany ). And the battleground for the human race begin till the end with the hope of one unborn child!

Long before these 2 movies that came about, there has been one such successful movie too! It was in 1998, entitled City of Angels, acted by Nicholas Cage and co-star  
Meg Ryan. Of course then there were others like this 2003 movie, Angels in America, which has Al Pacino and Meryl Streep with co-stars Emma Thompson. 
But this movie wasn't that much of a suspense and not a bit of horror in it.
Well, I just love those movies!
What's yours?

The Prayers of Elizabeth

Come to me clouds,

may you rise as an evil storm,

born to rip them open,

let the cover of night bear witness,

and destroy those who resist,

so they shall harm me not!

Let the blood of many cleanse me,

preserving beauty eternal,

I pray you..............................

It's STAY ALIVE, a spine chilling horror movie!

Over the weekend, I rerun this movie from my DvD collection.

It was a movie shown in theatre some time earlier 2006

A Spyglass Entertainment directed by:

William Brent Bell.

I am a fanatic of horror movies and never get tired for more!

This story is about a group of youngsters playing a unreleased

ultra-realistic 3D online video game that they are not

supposed to own it yet!

And they opened a gateway to HELL!

The spell casted by what they read on their monitor!

Well, at least that's what it says!

##################

And it greets,

Welcome!

If you're listening to this,

It means you've made a grave mistake!

You spoke the words,

and soon you will die for it!

At this very moment the evil of this place,

courses through your veins!

You have been marked for death!

Your choice has brought you here,

to Gerouge Plantation.

#################

It is a spine-chilling story about a 17th century noble woman

named Elizabeth Bathory, The Blood Countess

who lived 200 years ago.

She opened the Gerouge, a finishing school for the young.

What happened to those young girls were so depraved

that the records of this event was totally striked off the record!

Until now....

This group of youngsters must find a way to defeat

the viciously merciless countess by playing the game

STAY ALIVE by staying alive!

If you haven't a clue on this movie,

and if you are a horror movie flick,

get this one!

It is sure to make you STAY Awake!

And STAY ALIVE!

Have a pleasant nite!

Revival of mebeFree

It's been quite a long ( long ) while since I posted in here. 
Can't believe it's been over a year long!
Well, as a fresh start with my recent Breaking Point,
I recently wrote in Win Live Spaces to revive my bLoGs,
I must say I am ReBooting myself!

And I certainly would do the same for my bLoGspot!
So, for a fresh start at a new place at an Island far up North
of the country, I am lodged at a far side of town on a foothill
at the other side of the mountain and ably looking out from
a almost skyscraper building of 2 residential blocks.

Above is my newly setup of workstation at my SOHO room
which is almost a C-shaped configuration.
But the most important of all is I could work and bLoG at ease,
stay comfortably and move around conveniently.

I can move about into the city or some food centres,
shop around at the many malls and Hypermarkets
located at the 4 corners of the Island or
go about to the alongside the beaches for fresh air
and cool breezes let alone go for some cuisines.

This Island now even has a Hard Rock Hotel,
fully hard rock, so the fun never end!
And to live up to my reputation as The Midnite Cowboy,
to roam the nite scene ain't a problem at all!

But then of course to cope with the time zones online,
I'll still be that MiDniT3 bLoGger as usual, posting, linking,
chatting like everybody else ( especially the almost
buzy and crowded FACEBOOK ), commenting and
uploading pix and videos to share with everybody
( well, almost! ).

Thus, the revival of meBefree in bLoGspace.
And definitely I'll be seeing you as you, would be seeing M3!
Until we meet again, I'd wish you the best of everything!
eNjOy your week and your surfing......

Cheerio!

And, this is yours truly,
McCheah, mebefree .....
