The first week of the new year is slowly nearing it's end
So much I have learned too much to comprehend
So much I have written, so much time I've spent
And let us not forget Josh Bedn

Crappy poem, I know, I thought I'd write this entire post in a long scribble of poetry, but I don't feel like it, so I won't do. This first week of the new year has progressed smoothly, I think, maybe, I'll probably not, but will try, If I feel like it, write a blogpost per week to speak about the events and achievements. My only real resolution for New Years, aside from the list of goals, was to be effective and get things done, so thus that is what I'm being, and will hopefully be for the whole year. I'm really not a lazyass, so it feels great following my new daily routines of getting up at 7:30, eating breakfast, sitting by the computer until 11, going out for a long walk, eating lunch, and then spending the rest of the day doing whatever I feel like. This week the whatever I feel like doing has been reviewing, mostly. I've written 1234 reviews, the new, official record. :) Other than that I've been posting at the forums, reviewing audios, completing the last few additions in my Music Players series (no longer at NG), writing poetry, filling in drivers license blankets (so I can start training), drawing a little in flash, writing movie reviews, looking at banking alternatives, playing with my cousin David (came to visit yesterday, stayed for 8 hours), watching movies, working on my websites and studying. Oh, and sleeping too, I must not forget the most time consuming activity of all, heh.

I have a rerun for my previous Japanese History before 1868 test the fourteenth, and I have a shitload of reading to do before that. First of all I'll be fighting my way through a 400 long paged book (written for Oxford), then I'll have to actually try memorizing the stuff I've read. You hear that, BigMamaKATIE? Now that's what I call a bigass wall of text, lmao, no pictures either. This blogpost here is just a puny sentence in comparison. ;) Anyhow, I reached silver whistle too, and even had enough time to get banned from the NG BBS for 3 days, heh, also made weekly images for the next 20 weeks (not very unique, don't expect much). I dropped a five kilos weight on my foot a couple of days ago btw, and my middle toe is all purple at the top, looks pretty neat, haha. Hope it gets better soon, hurts when I run, so I haven't been out jogging at all the last 3 days. It's been snowing a lot here lately and the ground is covered a soft blanket of according to the weather forecast soon to be melting slush. Oh well, it was nice as long as it lasted. Walking over the unfinished golf course nearby was a lot of fun, especially when the sun hid behind the clouds. The reason being that there were absolutely no lines or shadows to show grounds level changes, so all the small hills and everything looked like just one big flat plane. You couldn't see if there was a one meter fall in front of you, it was challenging and filled with suspense, lmao.

Now, time to get back to my studies...

Another trilogy of movie reviews. If you don't like reading reviews, then don't read them, and don't comment about your dislikes when it comes to reading them, you won't get any +1 comment stats, so you're wasting time and space. For all others, enjoy. :)

Beowolf (2007)

A fairytale for grownups, animated with the most amazing digital animation techniques up to date, at times it looks almost real. The story is a good one, something taken out of ancient adventurous chronicles, a mixture of vikings and pre-medieval madness. Great storyline, with a little bit of everything : Adventure, Drama, Romance. The main character is a real hero, courageous and undefeatable, and the plot takes place beside the ocean, where monsters and dragons roam. It's not one of the best movies I've seen, and i think it's highly overrated, but it was an interesting watch. Very different from all other movies this year. If you like fiction and adventure, watch it.

 rated 2/5: decent

Warriors Of Heaven & Earth (2003)

A nice Asian fictional adventure. Follow the journey of the small group of unlikely warriors sent on a journey to protect a Buddhist and her collection of scrolls. They are family, friends and enemy, all with defined sets of personalities and values. During the way things get out of hand and they have to fight a large band of turks. They all fall, slowly, one by one as they get closer to their destination. Great filming, with decent special effects and varied events. The plot is intense, long, and dramatical. Not anything out of the ordinary, but a good movie indeed. I recommend it.

 rated 3/5: not bad

Rocky 2 (1979)

The legend is back, this time in a battle against the champion Apollo Creed. Sylvester Stallone plays his roll as Italian great, with a good accent and the perfect attitude. Seems like his life is filled with many hardships though, and he faces many different troubles on his journey towards the king title. Very emotional, with grand musical input and mixed events and a stunning last battle. Rocky is a lovable character, and the movie, though without much action or artistic filming, easily captures your attention. A great movie considering how old it is.

 rated 4/5: fo shizzle

Well since it's a new year and all, here's 6 movie reviews for a change :)

Dirty (2005)

The story of two corrupt cops. One with good intentions, in the wrong place. The other one with bad intentions, also at the wrong place. It's a drama, with a little action, and a sad insight in corrupt cop life.

The filming is great. Just the intro is a masterpiece in itself. The different transitions flow together smoothly and the special effects all appear at the right moment. Some of them are so good you almost don't notice when they're cut, must be the best transitions I've ever seen in a movie. I spot Wyclef Jean in the short note of credits and think this movie will truly be great, but it isn't.

The actors or good, the filming is genius and the plot is a smart one as well. All the characters have clear personality displays, the plot is complex, the lighting is always right and theres a sort of brown/depressing color in the whole thing. It really is a great movie, so why don't I like it? It's just not what I like watching. It progresses slowly, contains little action, no beautiful sceneries, no heroes, no anger, no love, just normal emotionless street life.

 rated 2/5: decent

Ong-Bak (2003)

I've only watched two movies from Thailand in my life. I watched the first one, one that I can't remember the title of, two weeks ago. It was good, low budget but funny and well-made, so I looked up another movie, and it was a real goldmine. Never heard of it before, but I'm happy to have found it because it turned out to be one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Ah, the memories. Design not be me btw, it's from RetroGade, a large photoshop community now (and forever) down.

The graphics are immense, the music is intense and the gameplay is so addicting they're gonna need a wrench to bend me away from the computer screen. I can't find any flaws, not even with a lens. This shines brighter than my chromed Benz. Hence, awesome. Keep up the great work! Dawson, or whatever you're name is. Btw, don't forget to post a number in the previous post, or I'ma flame you like burnt toast. This post is too great. Comments are closed (not really). On an unrelated note I don't remember my French, half of this post makes perfect sense, really.

Play it in the games section :P
