Zombieland - One Hell Of A Carnival Ride

I always loved zombie movies and this one makes it right up to the top of my favorite list. Zombieland, featuring Woddy Harrelson (Tallahassee), Jesse Eisenberg (Columbus), Emma Stone (Wichita), and Abigail Breslin (Little Rock), is a zombie movie which does not take itself too seriously. That's a good thing because I am tired of seeing over-calculated zombie movies with over-zealous characters.

Sometimes it's just nice to have a chance watching a movie that knew how to enjoy itself. That might sound a bit strange but the truth is, Zombieland is just very entertaining because you see, in an era when the zombie subgenre has been pricked, poked, gouged, and pulled in every iteration, sometimes it’s nice to go back to basics: It’s not about pet zombies, or Nazi zombies, zombie porn, or capturing zombies on camera for the YouTube masses. Neither is it about fast zombies, slow zombies, smart zombies or dumb zombies. A good zombie movie — and nothing has approached Zombieland in pure goodness since Shaun of the Dead — is about killing zombies, plain and simple.

Rants aside, Zombieland have many things to offer from the standard zombie movies gores, funny zombie moments, clever slo-mo scenes, stylized zombie killings and perhaps the best motivation for a zombie movie ever that does not concern itself to tie it neatly at the end. The whole movie just feel like an old school carnival ride, a very fun carnival ride that lures you to do it again, again and again. Never gets old, never gets tiresome.

Watch Zombieland if you:
- Like zombie movies
- Find Shaun of the Dead very entertaining
- Want to chill out and watch simple (but cool) movie
- Like gore stuff
- Want to watch something funny without being too retarded

Don't watch Zombieland if you:
- Hated slapstick comedy
- Hated guns and fights
- Have no love for the undead
- Looking for plot, for narrative complexity, or for layers of intricacy

Zombie Clown - Perhaps the scariest thing ever appeared on the screen.

Zombies having a nice day out at Hollywood sidewalks.

Amazingly done slo-mo scene. You can watch several of those in the trailer.

Nut Up or Shut Up.

RIP mininova.org - Good Things Come To An End

On 26 November 2009, the biggest public torrent site, Mininova was forced to delete all infringing torrents and goes 'legal'. According to the court order from the Dutch received by the admins, they need to take out all of the materials uploaded on the site or risked being shut down permanently and in addition they will have to pay 5 million euros should they fail to do so.

That's sad. I am really surprised to see Mininova torrents reduced to only a few insignificant stuff. At first I thought they had some kind of problems, or maybe going through maintenance as I am not aware of the issues Mininova had been facing. After a visit to the Mininova blog, only then that i found out about the news. It appears that they had been fighting the case in court since June this year and the final verdict was not on Mininova's side.

Well, after 5 years of service, home to thousands of uploaders and users, it's finally come to an end. The site is still there you can check it out(link), but you won't find anything except for the Content Distribution torrents. There is no news yet as to where Mininova will go from this point. Well, we're all going to miss you Mininova. It's been fun but I guess now all of us have to find a new home.

R.I.P.

Spielberg and King - Ingredients for an ingenious miniseries!

I have a bit of a confession to make here before I start. Honest? I’m not really a fan of science fiction as a kid. But as long as I remembered, a movie of the 80’s changed everything. It was about an alien, fallen to earth unto the care of a loving boy; a movie called E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), and upon seeing this movie, I was like,
“Whoa…Sci-Fi is really cool!” - My first appreciation of sci-fi, and then, it goes like,
“The guy who did this is truly a prodigy!” – There goes my first credit to Steven Spielberg.

And I’m not a biggie for horror neither. But one mere collection of books by Stephen King changed my mind. This guy is a genius, and I bet most people would agree on that. Throw him a paper and ink, and he’ll hurl back a gasping horror that never had crossed your mind.

And now, this duo are going to work on a miniseries based on a novel “Under the Dome” by Stephen King which had just been released on November 10, 2009, and honestly…this project gonna explode! With the courtesy of Dreamworks Picture, 1088 pages of the novel will make their way towards the screen, having two geniuses as the backbone, back to back…how interesting is that!

I haven’t got my hand on the book yet, but as far as I know, the story goes in a small vacation town in Maine, where an invisible force field suddenly materialized, cutting the locals off from the outside world. And the cost they have to pay for survival jostled upon the piles of fears and total madness.

So I’m guessing this is a good book to read, and hell of a good series to watch! Don’t cha think?

Archangel Michael Vs Dean Winchester - 100th Supernatural myth

Oh God, this is exciting!! Watching supernatural heven't been more exciting than this don't you think? After 4 years through every thick and thin, supernatural had its stand and became the most infectious and addictive series of all times (well, at least it is for me!)

But wait, this wasn't the case here... For all of supernatural fans over the entire world, justice is appearing before our eyes as the truth revealed. Bit by bit, Eric Kripke and Sera Gamble brought us through revelations and now apocalypse, and believe me, it's way better than 'armageddon' or 'the end of days'. And now, surviving until season 5, supernatural celebrates its 100th episode by bringing you the most awaited epic battle of Archangel Michael and Dean Winchester, entangled in a heavy mythology lore.

However as a fan of supernatural, we expect the unexpected and foresee the unpredicted. Thus, as escalating as this episode may be, I would like to invite you all (including the 'newlyfan' and non-fan) to foresee the probability that Dean might lose the battle, and I challenge you to bet on it! If somehow Dean stood a chance, how sure are you about him winning against an angel, let alone an archangel? So before the 20th episode in season 5 comes out, please have your say inside the comment box...

So imagine Dean swinging full strength everything he could throw towards his opponent, while the archangel sit motioning a finger effortlessly to stop him. It won't be a fair fight, but as far as I know, Supernatural always makes way for the impossible, something beyond the natural order, as the name conspicuously implied.
