Twinkie Tower

3.5 Stars

After his father's death, Kale (Shia LaBeouf) becomes sullen, withdrawn, and troubled -- so much so that he finds himself under a court-ordered sentence of house arrest. His mother, Julie (Carrie-Anne Moss), works night and day to support herself and her son, only to be met with indifference and lethargy. The walls of his house begin to close in on Kale. He becomes a voyeur as his interests turn outside the windows of his suburban home towards those of his neighbors, one of which Kale begins to suspect is a serial killer. But, are his suspicions merely the product of cabin fever and his overactive imagination?

Some predicted this to be a typical teen flick, but it became much more. It has been number 1 for a few weeks now and I see it staying there until Spiderman 3 releases. Shia was pretty impressive in this film. If some of you don't remember him he was in Holes, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, I Robot, Constantine & Bobby. He will also be starring in the upcoming blockbuster, Transformers. This is a movie I definately recommend folks to check out especially if you like suspense or thriller.

Other actors are David Morse (12 Monkeys & The Green Mile), Sarah Roemer (Asylm & Grudge 2) & Jose Pablo Cantillo (Manchurian Candidate & Crank).

WWE!

2.5 Stars

The WWE! drops a film starring Steve Austin called The Condemned. You would think that this film being from the World Wrestling Entertainment would be horrible, but it wasn't half bad.

A select group of death row inmates are offered the opportunity to compete in a deadly game on an abandoned island for one week. The winner of the game will have his or her sentence dropped down to life imprisonment and avoid execution.

Other actors include Vinnie Jones (Snatch & Gone In 60 Seconds), Rick Hoffman (Bernie Mac Show & Hostel) & Nathan Jones (Fearless & WWE).

It's a decent film to check out if you are into Running Man crossed with Commando.

LBJ

I know I haven't been blogging much. Really not much to blog about except work, which is getting better and better. The only bad thing we were informed of was a downside on doing smaller resets or working during an unassigned time. We will be scheduled 8 hours less. Definately sucks, but hopefully this will only be going on during the 1st quarter. We shall see.

The current assignment is going great. I'm not being bugged or micromanaged anymore. People even come to me with questions (too many sometimes). It kind of feels good.

We have a full store remodel happening in Midland, TX in July for 6 weeks. Don't know exactly when it starts, but it will be nice because that means major per deim and hopefully staying in a very nice hotel suite with a kitchen. We shall see.

I promise more blogs in the future, but more things has to happen. There are new blogs in my Entertainment Junkie (click link on the side). Check it out.

Planet Terror - 3 Stars
Death Proof - 4 Stars
Grindhouse - 3.5 Stars


Planet Terror definately shows Rodriguez's love for horror. Two doctors (Marley Shelton & Josh Brolin) find their graveyard shift inundated with townspeople ravaged by sores. Among the wounded is Cherry (Rose McGowan), a dancer whose leg was ripped from her body. As the invalids quickly become enraged aggressors, Cherry and her ex-boyfriend Wray (Freddy Rodriguez) lead a team of accidental warriors into the night.

I felt this film was pretty good given that I am usually not into horror. I will say that Rodriguez best flick is Deperado followed by From Dusk Til Dawn.

Next was Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. Austin's hottest DJ, Jungle Julia, sets out into the night to unwind with her two friends Shanna an Arlene. Covertly tracking their moves is Stuntman Mike, a scarred rebel leering from behind the wheel of his muscle car, revving just feet away.

I felt this film was the better of the two, but then again I love Tarantino films more that Rodriguez, but not by that much. Action over horror!!!! Planet Terror kind of drags on almost too long yet Death Proof seems like it goes a bit too quick. Then again Death Proof in 15 minutes longer than Planet Terror go figure.

Another interesting feature in Grindhouse are the trailers/fake trailers. They are something to see. I kind of wonder if they will make another Grindhouse. The show didn't blow up they way folks expected, but it is definately something for Rodriguez/Tarantino fans to see.

Desperado and Pulp Fiction are still the best.

We went out to check out this film in 3D. Pretty nice. Would have been better if I would have been awake. The movie wasn't boring, but I was so freakin' tired. Kind of pissed me off, but from what I saw it was a really good film. Some of the hilarious parts was the mind control of Frankie the frog & of course the chase with the T-Rex and Lewis. I do recommend folks to check this film out. It's pretty cute. BTW disney did get some help from Pixar on this. They are also re-releasing The Nightmare Before Christmas 3D in October. Looking forward to that.

Plano Over

Well, it's all over. Yes the Plano store was much harder, but it wasn't too much of a headache as long as the managers didn't panic. I am getting more and more praise from my superiors & they also give me more shit, which is a good thing I guess.

I get this feeling that my boss is setting me up for something (good I hope), but I don't know yet.

Next is my home store at LBJ Freeway & Midway Rd. This won't be as bad as Plano, but it will be a larger HEET/Plasma Wall. Since this is my home store I am in charge of a lot more (yipee). I am kind of nervous, but we will see how it will goes.

Anime Report I

SHOWS I PICKED UP

From the makers of Full Metal Alchemist (Aniplex) & Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex (Production I.G.) comes Blood Plus. An Okinawan high school senior, Saiya, with amnesia must come to learn who she really is and what her powers are in order to save her family from vampires. Seem like a promising show continuing the graphics of Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

Shonen Jump, makers of Naruto brings you Bleach. Rukia, a Soul Reaper, comes to the human world and finds an average kid with tremendous spirit potential, Ichigo. Her powers are transfered into him and he slowly learns the ways of the Soul Reaper. Showing the same hilarious sides of most anime. Of course Ichigo doesn't go through all battles alone. He has a lot of allies. Definately worth checking out.


Dropped Shows:
Mar, One Piece, Prince Of Tennis & Zatch Bell

Hilarious film. Probably one of the best comedic teams I have ever seen. Two figure skating greats have a falling out in the championships, but after going through some loopholes they manage to return to the scene, as a team.

Starring Will Ferrell (Talladega Nights), Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Amy Poehler (SNL), Will Arnet (Arrested Development), Jenna Fischer (The Office), Nick Swardson (Click & Malibu's Most Wanted), Romany Malco (The 40-Year-Old Virgin), & Craig T. Nelson (Coach)

Definately a film to check out. The only issue I had with this film was that it went a bit too fast, but what more could you do with it. It is great to see Heder's career growing like it is.

It's an owner.

Plano HEET Week 1

Well things are going pretty well at the Plano Reset, but I still watn to be out of there very soon. It seemd like I am gaining more respect and faith from my co-workers and superiors. One of them shocked me by stating how much I actually do know compared to others. I never knew how big that was, but it was big. At my job I always have a thirst to learn more and move forward in this career. YES I SAID CAREER.

Next week will be a day shorter thanks to Easter. We still have a lot to do, but the worse is over. The Wall of Plasmas is up. The High Bays (tall fixtures with product) are in placed. Now all we have left are the low bays (short fixtures with product) and signage. Should go well.

Feeling good.
