My New Movies for 2013

As a movie goer to theaters and a collector of it's tickets, 
I've mised pretty much this year. 
Well, all because going to the movies in Penang 
ain't that convenient especially parking! 
I like the south best! That is Johor Bahru! 

Anyway, next year there're quite a handful of 

great movies in store and I hope I'll fulfill my interest! 

January isn't much of any exciting movies 

but Hensel and Grettel, the Witch Hunter seems okay! 
Though I may be an old fan of Arnold, 
I would not waste my time for his Last Stand at the theater. 
Anyway, I won't be be watching Hensel and Grettel at the theater too.
Nothing too exciting in February except for Bruce Willis' Die Hard! 
 And then in March, there is Oz, the Great and the Powerful
Jack the Giant Slayer
( yeah, that Jack and the beanstalk story, again! ) 
and the remake of CARRIE, the horrorflick!
We'll see March reviving the postponed GI Joe, Retaliation
which I was looking forward to mid of this year.

Then again in such short time, we have Tom Cruise
on a sci-fi called Oblivion in April.
What follows later in May is Iron Man 3
followed by Star TREK sequel, Into the Darkness.
and Man of Steel ( Superman ) in June.
In July we'll have another of Jerry Bruckheimer's 
adventure epic, The Lone Ranger 
with another sci-fi from Bratt Pitt, World War Z,
sort of War of the World type.

On the line up it seems we'll have THOR 2 in November, 
entitled The Dark World.

We may expect to have Fast and Furious 6 and Jurassic Park 4. 
It also seems that there'll be a HELLRAISER in the making 
but no detailed news on it yet. 

Well, that's about it as of now. 

Untill when there're more infos and previews, 
I'll be constantly collecting for my HOMEvideo library 
especially the Blu-ray discs. 
See ya around.

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!

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!
