W. The Movie


Me, Q The Muse, Amy, and Greg went to see W. the other day. For all of you that have seen the previews and think it is going to be awesome, it is NOT. This movie was the biggest piece of crap in the world of movies. Some of you might be thinking "Naw son, that shit looks funny as hell!". Trust me, there is no reason to see this movie.

First of all, I wanted to see it because I thought it was going to be more about George W. Bush's younger days, how he became president, and all the things that happened in between. There was only a third of the movie that really covered that. The rest was just about his presidency and why he made some of the decisions he made.

Second of all, I think this movie was only made so that people who hate Bush can all sit together and mock him. I think it was also made so that everyone else can now feel like they know something about politics, and feel smarter for it. As if anyone of us could ever run this country to begin with... idiots. Another reason why people would probably want to see this movie from the previews, is that they think the way he talks is hilarious. I completely agree, but, that is no reason to see a movie. If that's all you want to see, go buy Little Bush the DVD and be happy. Either way, there was only a couple instances in this movie where they played up the "Bush Lingo".

I also have a little theory about the movie even being made. I think the Bush family funded the whole damn thing. I know it sounds kind of out there, but I have pretty much convinced myself that it's true. What better way to make money than feed on everyone's hate? Especially if everyone is filled with the same hate?

No matter what, if you want to see this movie, you're better off just watching the news. For the most part, it was just a bunch of people talking to each other. I wanted to walk out and wait for my friends in the parking lot until it ended. I feel sick just thinking about the whole thing.

Max Payne the Movie


I have been seeing a lot of previews for the new movie Max Payne. I am not usually one to watch movies that are based on video games, except for Silent Hill because I am all about the creepy stuff. But, Max Payne looks like it would have been an awesome movie if they had picked different actors.

I am a huge fan of Mark Wahlberg but he just doesn't seem to fit the lead role of this movie. He is always better at being the "real" person that has a few slight mental issues, or just sees things in a different way. There was a movie that I saw him in recently where he was a firefighter, that I can't remember the name of right now, where he was prefectly cast. I want to see more of that!

Another wrongfully casted person is Mila Kunis from That 70's Show. I could never think of her in a serious role. In my eyes, she is kind of stuck in the role of the ditsy brunette that is completely self centered. If I see this movie, and it changes my whole view on her, I don't know what I would do. It's weird, I know.

As far as the movie in general looks, I am kind of psyched to see it. From what I have seen, it would appear that the cinematography is excellent and the story is going to be dark as hell. I am looking forward to it!

Lamb of God: Sacrament

I was just looking for some new music to listen to earlier today, when I remembered how much I loved the band Lamb of God. I decided to see if they had anything new out. Turns out, I completely missed a release. It was back in 2006 that they released their latest album Sacrament. After finding this out, I went straight to a download site to get it (yes, I paid for it, no worries).

This CD kicks ass! If you are into hardcore metal, definitely go out and get it. It ranges from extreme hardcore, to even more extreme hardcore. I think it should be the angry album of all time.


The Song List

01: Walk With Me in Hell
02: Again We Rise
03: Redneck
04: Pathetic
05: Foot to the Throat
06: Descending
07: Blacken the Cursed Sun
08: Forgotten Lost Angels
09: Requiem
10: More Time to Kill
11: Beating on Deaths Door


The best song on this album, in my opinion, is "Again We Rise". I think I have been listening to it non stop for a couple hours now. I am wondering when I will get sick of it. I'm starting to think never. It starts off with this demonic guitar riff, then hits this incredible scream until it goes right into the metal build up.

I am not completely sure if it can really compete with Lamb of God's previous albums, seeing as how they were extremely bad ass, but I will give it a couple more days before I decide on that one.

Anyway, I completely recommend this album to anyone out there that loves metal. Oh yea, and as it goes for anything I would ever listen to, this album is probably for adults only. Unless you parents don't mind you screaming adult language everywhere you go. If that's the case, feel free little ones.
