Movie Review: Punisher War Zone

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS MOVIE ROCKED MY FACE HARD!


okay now that we have that out of the way. lets get to the review

3.5 out of 5 stars

This is a reboot of the series after the soft, summer blockbuster release of Punisher in 2004 starring Thomas Jane and John Travolta. Now while that movie was okay, it really wasn't Punisher-esque. Shit I don't even remember him actually shooting anyone at all in that movie.

When I saw the trailer for this film I thought Oh god what a shit looking movie(slow mo chandelier spin while shooting machine guns...come on!) But after seeing the R rated trailer I thought, Hmm..this could have something and holy shit did it ever.

They say the 3rd time is a charm and they are right. This is the Punisher that I know and love. Ray Stevenson does a great job fitting the Frank Castle Persona and Wayne Knight is totally Micro(even though he serves like no purpose). The rest of the cast is actually pretty shitty. Julie Benz Phones in this performance(bring back the blonde hair) and Dominic West is great on The Wire, however as Jigsaw he looks and acts like a tardbag. I honestly kept seeing the Janitor from Scrubs when I saw him as Jigsaw.












Zac Braff best watch da FUCK OUT!


While sometimes over the top, it was a very entertaining movie. Now don't go looking for a huge plot, but definantly enjoy the action. Some of my Highlights w/o giving away too much

1. Old man gets served right away
2. His Old Lady isn't forgotten
3. Take a seat(to the eye)
4. Need some Fava Beans and a Nice Chianti with that?
5. Doing Coke will get your face literally Punched in
6. "You take a seat, I'm Calling this in" then Frank makes a collect call to the guys head with a shotty
7. Rocket launcher, 'nuff said
8. Fat Fuck smoking pot gets Served.(BOOM!! HEADSHOT)
9. Shrimps on the Barbie

and there you have it. if you are bored one night or on a weekend, I would check this movie out for some over the top comic action!

TURN YOUR MIC OFF!!!

LOL...this is so true of all FPS gaming.



it reminds me a lot of this little fuck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haSGAf7lvR0

double bonus this is from the comedy group The Whitest Kids U'Know which have a ton of hilarious skits on the webz you can find here http://whitestkids.com/

I highly recommend Slow Jerk and Auto Erotic for some Lolz

Geek Stuff That Rules Volume 1

Todays Topic: Comics

X-Men, Spiderman, Batman,

nothing brings back memories for a geek like characters from the pages of their comics. Ask any geek and I can guarantee that they read some form of comic as a child and may very well still read it today. Something about the Heroes and their powers, earth saving battles and villains make them grab your attention and hold on. Its reading with full color pictures!

Comics are a universal geek thing that every geek enjoys in one form or another, while thought of as a "kiddy" I can tell you that there are tons of adult comics(not those kind) that many read as well. Many have been made into movies (300, Sin City, Dark Knight, 30 days of night to name a few) But even from that, nothing grabs you like the story lines of your classic heroes. Give me xmen or spiderman any day.

I recently started buying hardcover volumes of the Ultimate series from Marvel. This series allows these classic heroes to get reloaded and start in modern time. I have read many of the Spidey and Xmen as well as Avengers stories and they are terrific. You get real world modern issues such as Homosexuality and Wars and allows them to rewrite character orgins. Its a great way to catch up and not be saddled with 30-40 years of past story line.

I highly recommend that you check out the ultimate series if you are looking to get into reading some new comics.

New Look

Same stuff, New Look. I wanted to lighten the mood here. but more so everything fits cleaner on this layout, no overlapping.

Books, Check em Out!

now that I have dished out some 80's pop culture on that ass I will continue.

I love reading. I've been reading since I was about 3, I would get Little Critters or Bernstein Bears books, even Comics at the store and read them over and over. I may do it slowly, the current book I'm reading, The Stand by Stephen King, I started in late August (gimmie a break its 1100 pages long) but its a great book.

There is something about books that I enjoy. The feel, the weight, the smell. Books kick ass.

That is the main reason I think why I'm just not sold on E-book readers. I love technology, I am a total geek,but there just seems to be something artificial about it that I just don't like. Maybe one day something will come along and change my mind, but for now. Give me bound paper.

A movie adaptation will never trump its book form. Your imagination kicks every directors and producers ass in bringing those words to life. You also miss out on so much just by seeing a film of a book rather than reading it. a good example is the Harry Potter series. So much has been left out of those movies, it's almost criminal.

Also have you ever seen a good movie based on a Michael Crichton book? Yes Jurassic Park is good but the book owns it so hard its not even funny. Lost World? Disclosure? Rising Sun? Timeline? GTFO! Steven Spielberg, Barry Levinson, Philip Kaufman and Richard Donner can all fist themselves. Crichton 4 You Guys 0.

Don't even get me started on anything made into a movie from a Stephen King Horror Story. (Shawshank and Green Mile get respect knuckles)

Anyway I can't believe that there are so many people that don't read out there, they are really missing out from pretty much pure laziness. Get on your asses and grab a book you mouth breathers!

Anyway off to Vegas and Boulder to finish off the epic tale of good vs evil before hoping into some David Sedaris and Chuck Palahniuk. Just wanted to stop by to let you guys know what you are missing.

"My wife would like that."

Yes, yes I bet she would.

This morning, I raised a barn before sun up....

So my work has a beard growing contest going for charity (http://dynedge.com/beard-off-2008.html)

well I had a total scruff shoe bomber beard going and it was bugging the crap out of me. So rather than concede the inevitable defeat, I just trimmed it up and holy shit I know look like I should live in Southern Pennsylvania.



















I suddenly have the urge to make things out of wood.

Let it Glow! Let it Glow! Let it Glow!

Its Christmas time and so that means the the West family Casa is full blown FELIZ NAVIDAD'ED

I've always liked Christmas but now with the little ones the magic is back more than before and I have my own pad to decorate. I will always light up my house for the month of December for the holidays. It sucks that especially now with everyone price conscious that you don't see neighborhoods lit up with lights. I enjoy going with the family on nights in December and cruising around neighborhoods to see lights. (We just did it Sunday) and that brings me to today's rant on the new trend in holiday lighting. LEDs.

I fucking HATE these lights, yes I know they are energy efficient but fuck them right in their little stupid LED faces.

A house should GLOW with Christmas Lights

Good House (Mine of course)







Look at that shit glow with epic Griswaldian C9 lights.
(yes I know a lot of people hate the blowups but fuck you my daughter likes it so breathe a dick.)






Now compare that to this example of a shit hole LED house:


Wow Nice lights...You look like a convenience store or a bowling alley.
(ps. BLUE IS NOT A CHRISTMAS COLOR...FUCK OFF BLUE, you are not welcome in strands, only sparingly in a multi lit set.)






As you can see these lights sucks as much as they shine, with the intensity of a thousand suns. I mean that house looks like something from Tron, not a festive glowing house of Christmas Cheer.
You might as well string up EAT AT JOE'S on your roof rather than Merry Christmas.

Fuck You LEDs

Out F***ING STANDING!

I love FPS Gaming, I've been Playing them for over 10 years now (My first was Delta Force 2)

I played the hell out of all the DF series with various friends until Medal of Honor was released This opened me up to the world of WWII FPS and I wasted MANY Hours playing that and its sequels, then it was on to Call of Duty and MANY MORE Hours of playing with that. After awhile it grew thin and I moved on to Battlefield 2 with some friends. This was extremely fun but then the group I played with moved to COD2 at this point I was pretty tired of WWII games. I eventually bought the game and played it for about 3 weeks and was super pissed. It was like the same damn game as the original just prettier.

Enter 2006 and I bought an XBOX 360, November rolls around and COD4 gets released and Holy shit this is hands down the best FPS game Ive ever played. Its been a year and I still have played the shit out of this with buddies logged tons of time and still love. Alas all good things must come to a close. Today Call of Duty: World at War was released and though after COD2 I VOWED I would never buy another WWII game. I never even intended on buying this, but I started watching videos and seeing game play and my interest peeked and peeked.

Last week I downloaded the Beta MP demo and HOLY SHIT this was some major fun. It only had 3 maps but we played the shit out of it. I can't wait to get home and throw in this game that is mocking me sitting here on my desk at work.

If you wanna bake a pretty cake

YA gotta do the cooking by the book!



BRILLIANT!

Thanks a lot JERK!

So my wife recently put me on to google's RSS reader site
http://www.google.com/reader

and HOLY CRAP! I am addicted (not so much as my wife who is probably reading this post RIGHT NOW. GET BACK TO WORK!..lol )

It makes browsing the webs a lot more convenient and efficient no more pesky clicking bookmarks and "surfing" from site to site, I now have it refreshed and updated with pretty much every site's RSS feed that I visit. The interface is very intuitive (such as marking an article read as you scroll thru it) and all in all makes it a quick and easy way to check out the sites. Plus its not just some shitty blurp, its the actual pretty much full article you would see on the site, then you can click to it if there is more after the "jump"

I even added a "subscribe" link on my bookmark toolbar in firefox so that if I am on a new site I like, I can just click that and it will add it to my reader

I'm sure there are a ton more features that I will be sure to play around with to make it even better. Be sure to check it out!

BLOOP!

Yes tonight I am embarrassed to admit I went achievement whoring on my xbox 360. Now if you are unaware, the Achievement system is a system setup for all 360 games where you receive them for completing certain tasks in games. Some simple (YOU TURNED ON THE GAME!) to ridiculously hard(beat the hardest fucking song ever on 100% on extreme rape difficulty in Guitar Hero III)

Now Its always nice to hear the trademark ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED sound heard here (BLOOP)

But it was never something I sat down and said "I am getting these tonight." Not anymore.

I was talking with my buddy Dan and he said after I had told him I got 2 achievements and 75 pts in a baseball game that he needed to stay way ahead of me so he worked extra hard today and got another achievement. I told him you know what I'm whoring tonight. It was the 1st time I went to play just to get achievements and not just have fun.

I fired up my old football game, put it on rookie tard master level and got to work. 1st up, some passing and scoring achievements. I hit the field as Tom "Jesus" Brady and unleashed play action pass after play action pass to Randy Moss. It was so rediculously easy.

Complete a 90 Yd pass, BLOOP! 30 pts
then thru the course of the game which I ended up winning 105-10 (I gave them a TD to get the ball back) BLOOP, BLOOP, BLOOP, BLOOP
Score 84 pts in a 5 min quarter game
throw for 500 yds passing
have 650 yds of offense
(Brady was 18-21 for 701 yds and 10 TDS...lol)
Bam game over and 160 pts in my hand

Now its time to get a couple more out of the way for running. new game, this time Im unleashing reggie bush.

I needed the 100% pass completion in a game one so I threw a quick dump pass right away, never to pass again in the game...1-1 11 yds passing

next I needed 40 rushing attempts in a game by 1 player. I fed the defense a healthy dose of Bush(LOL) and got the 40 attempts.

I had tried getting the average 20 yds rushing in a game with 3 backs but kept getting stopped short. Closest I had was a guy 3 carries for 19 yds, Yawn not even close. oh well 2 isnt bad. they score a late td with 7 seconds left and kick the ball to me, I run out of bounds at the 7 and run 1 last play with the back..Oh man I got a block, broken tackle! HE....COULD....GO...ALLL.THE.....WAYYYYYYYY YAYYYYYYYYYY 93 YD RUNNING TD AT THE END AND IT GAVE MY GUY A 22 YDS PER CARRY AVERAGE 1 MORE 25 PT ACHIEVEMENT!!!!!!!!

So I now only have 2 achievements left in that game but for the night I grabbed 8 achievements and 225 pts....not a bad night for a dirty achievement whore

Keeping with the Jesus Theme: Piano Edition

I started Piano lessson's last week. I am being taught by an 18 yr old who is droppin' knowledge on me (I have no age bias).

I have a lot to learn (reading music, etc) I have learned some very basic songs (mostly Christmas since they are so easy) I can also play the Start to Fur Elise and use my left hand...Giggity

Now it's not a lot and I have never been musically gifted but the shear fact that I can touch a piano and make it sound like nice music and not just a cat walking across a keyboard.

Maybe at some point I'll record some of my stuff to show you what I've learned.

Probably not though

Thank Jebus for DVR

Man I thank the GODS Above that they invented DVR. Its Fall and shows I watch or want to watch are coming back like a bad case of gonorrhea. Not only that but the sheer number of them makes me feel like a massive loser. Thankfully DVR lets me back catalog them

So a list (as if you give a shit)

Big Bang Theory
How I Met your Mother
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Chuck
Heroes
Prison Break
Entourage
True Blood
Dexter
Fringe
My Name is Earl
The Office
30 Rock
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Life

Then later:
Lost
24
Battlestar Galactica

This isnt throwing in shitty guilty pleasure reality tv like America's got Talent and American Idol.

The wife bot also has a few shows she likes such as Army Wives, Lipstick Jungle and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

Luckily the lions are inhaling massive amounts of schlong this year so that frees up a couple hours of time on the weekend

In Conclusion, Yes I am a massive loser and my DVR will be melting into a smoldering mass this season.

Jesus is My Friend

Enough Said.

Generation Kill

I just finished the new HBO 7 part miniseries Generation Kill, based on the book of the same name, this weekend and it is a definite must see. To summarize what it is about (thanks IMDB!) A Rolling Stone reporter, embedded with The 1st Recon Marines chronicles his experiences during the first wave of the American-led assault on Baghdad in 2003.

This show doesn't pull any punches you will laugh at the dark marine humor, cringe at the violence, and find yourself screaming at your TV at some of the ineptitude (Captain America anyone? Trust me, I'm not spoiling anything but you will be begging for some "Friendly Fire.") If you are looking for some huge war monger propaganda piece...do not look here. This show does not pull any punches on a lot of the fuck ups and mishaps during the 1st month of our "liberation" of Iraq and I commend Evan Wright for his work. (Nice running from the sniper btw)

Does this best HBO's best miniseries Band of Brothers? No way, but its pretty damn close.

FFS.......

This morning I read a blog from a girl I went to HS with basically lambasting Obama saying that the president needs to be a white man and bitching that Obama was once a Muslim. Well guess what. Obama was never a muslim. His father was.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp

then I hear today from my mother in law. "I don't even know why he is trying? they are gonna elect this fuckin black guy and someone is gonna shoot him. No matter what he is going to get shot"

Jesus christ I'm glad that we still have these views and total shit claims based on no facts at all.

Okay I'm done being Digg.
