The Wrestler


This film had me sold on the poster. The rawness, colour and simplicity of the design is just amazing. Last night I attempted to see Seven Pounds, but because I was running on filipino time I arrived just in time to watch the Wrestler. Mickey Rourke is purely sick for this one. Acting was on point - furthermore, everything was on point. I liked loved it.

It was one of them ones that had everything. It was tragic, funny, glory [sort of], ok not everything but I'm definitely feeling this one. The story is on point, the edits were nice, and the right music was played at the right time. I particularly liked the way it ended. You know..... why it ended the way it did - and how; meaning the shots and all that. I'm not gonna go into it 'cos I don't want to spoil it, but it was the one.

I'm a big fan of indie films, and The Wrestler is definitely up there.

Aronofsky. "You crazy for this one!"

The Setup.

I just wanted to share my excitement with you..this week I will be purchasing a boxfresh pair of studio monitors and so the mixdowns of my beats will sound so so so crisp!! Man, I'm gonna burst! Lol.

Keep fighting them Monday blues, you're soldiers.

Issue One.

Damn! Look at that Beaut. I think I'll let the picture do the talking on this one.
As Big Mike says, " The four rings will take care of you. "

"That's Seeerious!" Vol. 1



Gears of War 2 Dammit! Now that.is. Seeerious! I've been banging it out, and although can't say I've completed it yet - it is on the to do list. The original GOW was mad crazy - and this one is just as, if not more! This isn't a game review, but let me tell you...the graphics - are SICK! And game play is so intense that my 360 pad slowly slips through my sweaty palms...Jokes!
But the way the Gears move, act, their bulkiness, their raw weapons, their ruthlessness [is that a word?]..it's all too much!

This game makes me want to be a Gear!! Well, only for a short period - not my whole life. I would put that chainsaw through them punks! Marcus Fenix, you are too Seeerious darg! Props!


"Look, ma. No face." Lol!!

Look out for the next Volume.

S. Darko


Came across this as I was browsing IMDB(as you do). Reading news that the sequel to Donnie Darko was currently in production initially got me a bit hyped... but then I woke up, smelt the coffee and realised this is a big NO NO! 'DD' was the one! It filled me with joy, wonder and awe; it even managed to reach my top 10 favourite movies [still unsorted].

However, the impact of the cult phenomenon that is Donnie Darko cannot be replicated in a sequel, and I can almost guarantee it won't come close. Infact, I do. Not to mention the fact that director Richard Kelly isn't even involved with the sequel. It's a bit harsh but DD is a masterpiece by itself, it needs no sequel or prequel. Just leave it alone! S. Darko will probably tarnish the concept of DD for me, so as for watching that ish - I'm not too sure.

Manny Pacquiao: The Beast.



Whoa! Would have posted this sooner, but I've been sleeping since. Staying up til 4am ain't really my thing cup of tea, but it had to be done. This was history in the making!

I'm sure everyone knows the occurrences, but 'boy oh boy' does Manny Pacquiao make me proud to be Fili. Even though the odds were stacked up against him, Pacquiao came like Phil Collins!! (Against all odds; if you didn't catch that.) Completely dominating round after round, Mannys' combinations put De La Hoya got put in the corner like a little boy. I actually felt a bit sorry for him as PacMan eat him up, and spat him back out.

"We knew we had him after the first round," says Pacquiao's trainer; Freddie Roach.
So did I Freddie, So..did..I. As I bask in the glory, all I can say is "Bring it on Hatton!"

Congratulations Manny. Congratulations Philippines.
