Yes, it's that dreaded time of year. A time when you not only loose an hour of sleep, but a time when you loose darkness. And to those of you who know us, we thrive in darkness. What are you gonna do (another Year One reference)? I was wigged out all day yesterday. At the time, I didn't really know why, then it hit me. I think the time change cycle messes with my head a bit. Cause all day yesterday, I knew it was coming. I guess there was just something I couldn't wrap my head around. Anyway, I'm rambling and now sound like a successful madman, lol.
Lets see, what's been going on lately? Oh yeah, we FINALLY got to finish Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow Part One last night. And just as I suspected, it was awesome! Now I can't wait for Part Two. Aside from that, we haven't really watched anything new. I did leave out a few really good movies that we've watched in the passed week.
One being, Frozen. I'm sure a lot of you have seen it by now, considering it came out in September of last year, I think. It's about these 3 people who go to a ski resort of some kind and end up being stuck on a ski lift. I know, the plot sounds like a nice big pile of you know what, but I assure you, it's WAY better than that. There's actually a couple parts in the movie that make you want to piss yourself. Yes, it is that good. And with stars like Shawn Ashmore (The Ruins, X-Men movies), Kevin Zegers (Dawn of the Dead, Wrong Turn) and Emma Bell (The Walking Dead), how can you go wrong? I highly, highly recommend you pick this up for the next movie night.
Another good one, Splinter. I don't ever remember seeing the preview to this movie at all. I just happened upon it one night and thought it sounded interesting. And it was! It's about a couple that are traveling though the country when they get high jacked by a couple people. Then they end up hitting this thing in the road that pops a tire and forces them to pull over. Long story short, they make it to this gas station where they lock themselves in avoid being killed by some type of creature. I don't want to give too much away, so I'm going to leave it at that. This movie stars Paul Costanzo (Royal Pains), Shea Whigham (Machete, Fast & Furious) and Jill Wagner (Blade: The Series).
We also watched a nice little British film called, Splintered. I know, the names are way too much alike, lol. It's about a group of teenagers (possible older) who travel to the country side to track down the man or beast that's killing sheep and so on. It doesn't have the best plot. There's an ok story to follow, but it does leave you hanging and wanting more action and blood, which they're missing a lot of. Other than that, it's a nice movie to watch when there's nothing else on.
That's all of the movies I can think of. I'm almost a 100% sure that I'm missing one, but I wont know until I look on the hard drive. I hope that will satisfy your movie needs for now. I highly recommend the first two that I mentioned. Definitely worth the time and money. And as always, click the title for the trailer.
Well, I suppose that's all for now. I do believe I have to go to the store here in a little bit. Until next time, you know where to find me...
Love & Peace

Are you ready?
Well, as I stated in a previous blog, I'm thinking about starting my movie reviews back up. Then I was thinking, why not start now? So, prepare yourself. First on the chopping block is:
Whiteout
I'm sure a lot of you have already seen this, if not for the thrill of watching a horror movie, for Kate Beckinsale, lol. Come on, even for a chick, she's a hottie. It's mainly about her and a team of scientists that are there exploring all sorts of shit. I'm a little iffy on it all, it's been forever since I've seen it. All in all, it's a pretty good movie. Not your average thriller, it one wont keep you on your toes or anything, but it's ok.
Rating: 6.5/10
Saw VI
This was by far the best of the new Saw movies. They've pretty much stopped grabbing my attention since Saw III. Anyway, this has the dude from the 5th installment of the films (not sure of his name right now) and he's pretty awesome. Way better then some of the other people they've had in the front row. I have to say, seeing Eddie from Family Matters really freaked me out. I wasn't the same after that. But, don't let that stop you from watching, it's pretty cool.
Rating: 7.5/10
Pandorum
I'm going to go ahead and say it, the only reason we rented this was for Ben Foster. Not once did this movie grab my attention. I've never really been a big Sci Fi freak. The movie of that type that I actually remember enjoying was Pitch Black. Anyway, this movie is about these guys that are trapped under water in a space ship of some kind with some trick ass aliens running around. Not too many scares to be found in this one, just your average alien flick. I mean, I've seen worse, but I've also seen a whole lot better.
Rating: 6/10 <-- That's mainly because of Ben Foster
Zombieland
Oh man, where do I start. As I'm sure you all know, we're massive zombie lovers. But when you pair Woody Harrelson, a shotgun and zombies, you have a recipe for awesomeness. Not only was this movie hysterical, it was pretty creepy too. The zombies looked awesome and they weren't stingy on the blood. One of the best zombie flicks since Dawn Of The Dead.
Rating: 8.5/10
The Stepfather
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out how this movie will be. If you've seen the original, then you've seen this one. They just switched the leads up a bit. Anyway, I actually like the lead in this movie, Dylan Walsh is pretty cool. But he didn't bring to the table what Terry O'Quinn did 20+ years ago. Am I saying this is a bad movie, no way. Am I saying this is one of the best movies, no again. But it is something that you can just watch and not have to follow.
Rating: 7/10
Law Abiding Citizen
We rented this movie in hopes of seeing Gerard Butler at his best (ie; 300), but man we're we let down. Not only is the plot out of this world insane, the acting isn't the best. I don't know what's up with it, maybe they just had a small budget. Anyway, that's beside the point. The point is, don't rent this movie and think that you're going to get an non stop action flick, cause you're not. I think I would rather watch Twilight.

Alright kiddies, I believe that's all I have in me today. It's been forever since I've wrote reviews, so be patient with me while I get back into the flow of things.
Until next time, you know where to find me...
