A friend of mine sent me this picture. I thought it was hilarious. I can’t confirm if this is a real image, but it looks pretty real to me.
The Departed
The Departed carries a stellar cast including Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, and Mark Wahlberg. The Departed is a remake of a Chinese movie named, Internal Affair. But this version has a Scorsese touch, a dialog driven-type of movie.
Billy Costigan, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is a undercover cop that infiltrates into Frank Costello’s (Nicholson) mob. On the opposite side of the law, Collin Sullivan , played by Matt Damon, is one of Costello’s men who became a State Cop to keep tabs on law enforement activities who are out to catch Costello.
Bloodshed ensues as they try to find the identity of the mole. The drama is tense and the body count rises as they desperately try to find more clues of the other’s identity.
I rate this movie:

Pride FC: The Real Deal
For the first time ever, Pride FC will be holding its event on U.S. soil.
Mark Coleman will be fighting against Fedor Emelianenko, Pride’s Heavyweight Champion. And Coleman’s team mate, Kevin Randleman, will be fighting Maurico Rua, Pride’s 2005 Middleweight GP Champion.
This will be an awesome event… Event starts in 5 minutes. Gotta go!
Zombies on a Plane???
For those who don’t already know, I’m a huge fan of the Zombie genre movies. Plane Dead looks to take some cues from Snakes on a Plane. The plot depicts an airplane carrying a deadly virus that turns it’s passengers into flesh eating undead monsters, and the those who aren’t affected must fight to survive.
This is frggin’ awesome. It should be out next year.
The Loma Prieta Quake Anniversary
It’s been 17 years since the quake hit the Bay Area. I remember that day quite fondly…
:::cue flashback sequence:::
I was sitting at the kitchen table doing my homework (when I said doing homework I mean reading my Highlight magazine). Then, suddenly the table began to shake. The potted plants that hung from the ceiling swayed back and forth. The pyramid stack of dishes in the sink crumbled apart. My dad and my brothers, who were watching television in the living room, darted out to the front door onto the lawn. I sat there in my chair in awe. My dad was outside signaling with his arms like a wildman for me to get outside. I jumped from my chair and ran to the front door.
Once outside, it took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust to the brightness. I could hear the car alarms going off on the streets. My neighbors were out in their yards as well. I remember my neighbor asking us the funniest question, “Hey, did you guys feel that?!”
“No shit Sherlock. Everyone with a pulse felt it!” That’s probably what I would of said if he asked me that now.
:::cue reverse flashback sequence:::
I was about 7 years old when it happen, and it was just a cool experience. To others, it was a frightening. Fortunately, the Bay Area hasn’t experience a large quake since. :::knock on wood:::
UFC 64 Main Event Review
Sherk was the heavy favorite and even though Sherk won the unanimous decision you have to give Florian a lot of credit. Florian took a beating but kept coming at Sherk. Even up until the last two minutes of round 5 there was still a glimpse of hope that Florian could possible pull out a suprising submission. In the end, Sherk definitely deserved the title for all he has been though. And Florian, even with this loss, proves that he is one of the top 155 pounders in UFC.
I was expecting a stand-up war between Franklin and Silva, but the fight ended so abruptly, and decisively, that feel I really bad for Franklin. It seem to be all down hill once Silva had Franklin in his Thai-clinch. The knees to the body and the nose-crushing blow was devastating. For the first time in UFC, Franklin looked unmotivated and out classed, in terms of striking ability. Congrats to Silva. It was his second UFC fight and he won the title. Not many can have that sort of claim.
My biggest question is what’s next for Franklin? And also will there be an immediate rubber match? Silva is definitely here to stay. Who will UFC feed him? Swick? Matt Hughes (that’s if he wants to move up)? From Silva’s performance tonight it looks like he will be holding onto the title for quite a while.
Who’s ready?
Two titles are on the line; the middle weight championship and the light weight championship.
My quick predictions:
Franklin v.s. Silva
Franklin by stoppage of the 3rd or 4th round.
Sherk v.s. Florian
Sherk by stoppage of the 1st round.
Food for thought
Coincidence? I think not.
I love this commercial
This commercial has been out for awhile. It’s so awesome, and it doesn’t even matter what the product is.
Step Up
Out of all the things to do in Las Vegas, who goes to a theater to watch a movie? Me. It was a Wednesday afternoon and besides gambling, eating at buffets, going to gentlemen’s clubs, seeing acclaimed shows, or site-seeing there was really nothing else to do.
Step Up was the only movie I didn’t want to see, less. But to my surprise the movie was better than I expected. Tyler Gage, played by Channing Tatum, is a troublesome teenager who gets caught vandalizing a private school property and has to serve community service by doing janitorial duties. Tyler meets Nora, a ballet dancer at the private school, and offers his help to fill in as Nora’s dancing partner is injured and unable to perform. Tyler’s hip-hop street dancing style conflicts with Nora’s ballet routine, and the only way for them to work is to combine their dancing styles.
Known by his friends to lack ambition and not care for anything. It’s up to Tyler to prove to him self and others that he’s more than just a troubled kid. He must commit to what he has started, and his passion to dance is his ticket to start a new life.
