Army of Darkness
Movie.
Well, an old movie, but still a classic. This movie u could call: Evil Dead 3.
But this movie is very different to the other movies (Evil Dead, Evild Dead 2: Dead By Dawn). This movie is not scary at all, but just funny crap. Evil Dead where supposed horror movies, but a little funny anyway.
I have seen this movie many times, and its still as good...

The Rewiev:
The movie starts where Evil Dead 2 ends... Ash (Bruce Campell) gets sucked back in time, to middleage. He is alone, only with his shotgun, his car, and of course the thing we all love the most: His chainsaw. To get back to his own timeage, he must retrieve the book of the dead, The Necromonicon. On his way, he encounter many things, but gets the book. But he awakes the "Deadites", so now, a great battle will begin...

7/10 - Great old movie. A classic! -

Blade 2
Movie.
Sucky movie. Has none of the charme from the first movie...
Oh yeah, one more thing: Blade jumps around alot, with his sword. When Blade is in the air, he is made in 3D, and frankly: It looks like shit.

Rewiev:
The vampires are asking Balde for help, because a new race that feeds on vampires is taking the power. Blade founds out, that these new "vampires" are made by vampires themselves, and Blade is trapped.
He must fight to get out of their claws...

3/10 - Dont watch this movie, if u havent any taste. -

The Hives - Your New Favourite Band
CD/LP
Great music. A collection of tracks from their other albums. The Hives has a very unique sound, and that is what makes them so good. The tracks range from the famous Hate To Say I Tol You So, to the fast and more rockish Die, All Right!. If i have to pick out a minus, it would be that they hvae chosen not to include one of my favourite tracks, Knock Knock.
With the CD, comes 4 of their musicvideos.
The music very inspired by old bands i think, and the sound is very scratchy.

8/10 - Great music. Buy or steal this album right away! -

I will write more rewiez later...

i saw lotr1, it was ok and all but one thing still bothers me, why didn't that one dude allow the boy to help the old man when he was about to fall to the lava.. he was going to but the other one grabbed him like "no, its too dangerous". yeah, very dangerous compared to all that jumping over shallow rocks. if it really is so, then i have to say it really sucked. maybe i missed something..

well. the guy knew that the other guy had to do what he (=the other guy) had to do, and made the 'danger' part because he didn't want to reveal that he knew what he knew about the other guy having to do what he had to do (which was of course kill the balrog).

Review - Deodorant - Lynx Accelerate

You may have seen the ads on Tv, Billboards etc about this product. They always show a young male with at least 3 girls hanging of him, all because of this deodorant he's wearing. So as a guy who wanted to get a bit of that went out and purchased one of these items. So far this is has not happened so i have thought of returning this product. This example of bad advertising has permanatly put me off deodorant. I will never use such products again thanks to there broken promises and heartbreak.

You'll be even less likely to have 3 girls hanging off of you if you give up deodorant...

opinion - lotr 2towers

oh god lotr2 sucked =(. there were terribly bad changes to the plot, a lot worse than in fotr. the craphics are breath taking but i don't think a movie should be called lord of the rings - two towers unless it actually goes like the real book goes.

if u've read the book and didn't like changes done in fotr, don't go watch tt.

absolutely stupid things in the movie:
-ents actions
-showing that god damn liv tyler all the time
-aragorns adventure
-faramirs choices

odd, in movie 1 it felt like it had been cut shorter. movie 2 seemed to be streched longer than needed.

Review - Rexel Stapler

Me work has just invested in a new Rexel stapler, I was quite impressed with its colour scheme ( blue with a green base). This stapler has rubber on the handle so it becomes "non slip" and slightly shock resistant. I would highly recommend this model stapler to any firm that needs to staple paper no thicker than 10mm. This stapler gets a ***** star rating

PSX Game - Dancing Stage EuroMIX

Might be called Dance Dance Revolution in some areas.
A game where you have to either press the buttons in time with the best, or dance along yourself! Great fun!
A party game really, but you need a lot of practice to make sure you dont look bad.
If a placed near you has an arcade machine, use it!!! its a lot better.

REVIEW - O

This has got to be one of the worst movies i have ever seen, it stars josh harnett. its a story about a basket ball team and joshs dad is the coach, he is not the best player buts wants to get all the attention so he causes all this shit amogst the team and in there personal lives that results in the end of the movie, dont waste ur time to watch it let alone pay money to hire it out or buy it, a big fat 0/5 rating for this shocking cinematic experience

Review - The Sims (PC)

This is the absolute second best game ever (after elma). In this game you create and live your own sims, which are just computer ppl or somethin like that. you can feed, bathe, sleep, make them have sex, pretty much do wateva u want with them. Killing them is fun also. **** 1/2

What are you actually reviewing here?

Anyways, following review may contain some sort of spoilers so if you're intending to watch what the title is about, I suggest not reading any further.

WWE PPV - Armageddon 2003

This PPV contains seven matches.

Booker T vs. Mark Henry
Battle Of The Sexes: Lita & Trish vs. Christian & Jericho
Tag Team Turmoil: Four different tag teams fighting for the tag team championship.
Molly Holly vs. someone whose name I forgot :D for womens championship
Randy Orton vs. Rob Van Dam for the intercontinental championship
Batista vs. HBK, personal issues ;)
and finally the great main event, Triple H vs. Goldberg vs. Kain for the world heavyweight championship.

Overally, it was okay PPV as being only presented by RAW.
Weaker matches were booker t vs. mark henry and women championship match. Best matches were in my opinion the main event, batista vs. hbk and randy orton vs. van dam.

Alot of championship changes happened last sunday when this was held and mostly because of that, I can recommend this one if you have a chance to get this. Keep in mind, there wasn't any spectacular really, just an ordinary non-co-operated PPV.

Terminat0r 3 - The Rise of The Machines
movie

story
So... Terminator-X is coming back from future to kill John Connor who will be a leader at group fighting against robots in future. Mission for real Terminator is not to let John Connor die, but it seems quite impossible because T-X is very powerful.
At the end Terminator selfdestructs together with T-X, rescuing John but the starts nuclear war and movie ends.

4/10 stars

looks well but way stupider than T-2 and T-1

dz!

WWE Armageddon PPV (cont...)

To follow on from dz's review...
It was Molly v Ivory :D Suk0r match only thrown in to fill time. Same with Matt v Maven.
There werent any great matches, and not even many great moves, but saying that there was no real missed spots or anything, so cant complain.
It was a solid show, but not a good one...Booker had to work so hard to make his match even watchable. Mark Henry cant do anything right...
Theres not a lot more I can say without giving spoilers, so i wont...
I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without their motives being questioned.

KILL BILL (movie)

Saw it this monday in the cinema. Normally i dont like films with mango much action and blood. But tarantino makes it beautiful. Plus the plot seems ok (though kinda hard to judge yet without seeing vol.2), thats what many films with as many fighting scenes as this lacks. The very exagerated killings kinda bugged me in the start, but it's so thourougly done that it is cool. Best scene is maby with that little japanese school girl Gogo and her megaweapon.

4,5/6 and maybe it could get a higher raiting if vol2 is goad too


MANUAL & ICEBREAKER INTERNATIONAL - INTO FOREVER (http://www.morrmusic.com/)
Image

Ok I think its hard for me to describe this album in words...
But its spacey, ambient, postrock, soothing, relaxing
The booklet tells a funny little story about a spacecraft where this music will be sealed in and brought to outerspace for anyone out there to hear, and well that is maybe more telling about it.
The track "into forever" must be one of my favourites atm

5,5/6


nice tropic

Review - Mopolauta
message board

This review is about this forum. I think aesthetically speaking, we've a true winner here. I used to have it in green (but that's such a long time ago), that was a very nice colour. Blue is okay (standard phpbb colour) though. I like the strict rules for signatures, which makes it easier to read. I have signatures turned off by the way, but I used to have them on, and it didn't really spoil my eyes too much. Without the avatars was even better. The simplicity of this forum was its greatest power, but the avatars make for some personality (although I have them turned off =D).

The amount of bullshit allowed here is phenomenal, yet everyone knows how to keep it in common places and within reasonable limits. I find this feat really amazing. AKB used to be crap, but he stirred things up nicely too. Same with ribot. I have been here for about 9 years now, and it has grown a bit dull, but visiting this board still has a fixed spot in my mind (not in my agenda, hell no). The amount of interesting posts has decreased substantially, but sometimes when a specific topic gets some attention, good discussions arise easily. The flexibility of this board is unequalled.

4.5 / 5 teajays.
