Yeah yeah yeah… I know…

Mood: hungry
Listening to: Good Morning, Norway….

Yeah, I know… This Sunday round-up is getting out of hand.
I seriously haven’t much to write about. Nothing has really happened..

Well, except one thing…
If you’ve read the other comments I’ve received you’d see that a site was suggested to me.

http://horrorclassics.lefora.com/

So I joined and I really love it. They have so many movies, and not just movies. Old series too, like V and Dr. Who (which made me very happy).
They even have none horror (well, kinda) movies… well, so I’ve seen one. Arsenic and old Lace..
I love that movie XD

But yeah…. If you love horror movies and like to chat to great people, then join. Yeah, you have to join to watch the movies, but it’s very painless. It’s a moments work and a little wait and then you’re sorted.

Sunday Round-up on Monday

Mood: Good
Listening to: Tiny Dancer – Elton John…

I compleetly forgot about the round up. I think I need to set an alarm or something.

But yeah… things have happened the past week.

There was the whole ugly swine flu incident and misunderstandings on my behalf. Unless they put “numbers accurate because of people in country” how am I supposed to know? I am not a mind reader yet…. as I have said many times before.

And I applied for a job… and yesterday, around 18.15 he called me and said he was very interested in the application I sent him.
I have to admit it was very good, and it did seriously not take me long to whip it up =P
But he did have some concerns… like why I have a fork lift license…
Well, I was talked into it… I got it only because I didn’t get any compassion from anyone… No one in my family said “I totally understand that you don’t want to drive, and if you don’t want to you shouldn’t…”
But instead everyone went “GO FOR IT!!!”  where upon I cried… well, not really… but I wasn’t happy…

But yeah…. I took a Carma reading..
Not a real one, but a “click on a number” Carma reading online…

Your Carma today: Decisions


You wish to do something else than what you are doing right now, or you’re in a relationship where you’re not yourself.

Action:
The time has come to make a dissuasion in your heart about what you really want to do.
Something wonderful is heading your way and you ave to trust your intuition to grasp it when the time comes.
Visualize what you want, what you wish

Earlier you have lost what you really want to do because you didn’t believe in yourself enough.
Maybe this is the new job thingie??
Maybe I’m meant to work in whatever I’m meant to work in at the job I applied for? Media? Sales? Media sales??
I don’t know… We’re having a talk one of these days. I’m just waiting for an email from him.
Oh, I saw Zombieland on Saturday..
I was very surprised that I liked it, but I did.
I didn’t think I would… but it was good…
Makes me want to kill zombies… XD

More Swine flu hysteria

I’m seriously getting pissed of at the Norwegian press!!
In the Norwegian newspaper, Dagbladet, we can read that Norway is on TOP when it comes to mortality rate when it comes to swine flu.
We’ve lost 13 people, and even though I’m not taking it lightly, THE NORWEGIAN PRESS HAS GOT TO STOP THIS NONESENSE!!!! Or at least if they are going to scare people, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!!

Yes, we do have many deaths, but Great Britain has a total of 130 deaths…
and Spain 54. We’re on third place, so to speak, with 13… closely followed by Ireland and France with 9 deaths.
Or am I wrong in thinking that Great Britain and Spain are countries in Europe? Did they get thrown out??  Were they eradicated??? It can’t be.. I’m talking to my English friend right now… the country must still be there.

The swine flu virus has shown itself to be rather bad at killing people in general. The last update given by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control tells us that so far 5542 people has died…
A regular seasonal flu kills, according to World Health Organisation on a yearly basis 250 000 – 500 000 people.

Personally I’m not afraid of getting this swine flu…
I wasn’t afraid of catching the bird flu either, which is much more aggressive than swine flu… I didn’t get bird flu…
I doubt that I’ll catch swine flu…

To the Norwegian Press
STOP FUCKING SCARING PEOPLE!!!!!

P.S. So Ed was right and it was per capita…
But I stull think it’s fucked up scare people…

I’m bored (Kinda a 28 Days Later movie review.. but my heart isn’t in it)

Mood: Bored
Listening to: 28 Days Later soundtrack. More specifically “In the House – In a heartbeat”
I knew I had heard it someplace before when I heard it in a Resident Evil fan thingie on youtube… And I couldn’t remember WHERE I got it from… but I wanted to watch 28 Weeks Later, and couldn’t find one that works… So I tried to listen to some music on youtube instead and there it was…  =3=  *wobbles*

But it doesn’t diminish my boredomness…. and seeing as I love to hear my own voice, I thought I’d type a little.
That’s one of the problems when I’m bored..
I get all nonsensical. And try to expand on my vocabulary.

I wasn’t planning on making this a movie review.. so I won’t put it as one.. but seeing as I’m in the 28 Days Later mood, I might as well, right?
It is a must see movie…

What would you have done if you woke up in the hospital one day and no one was around. You can’t remember anything, well hardly anything… well, except that you lost an argument with a car…
Honestly. Even though it is a good movie… well… there are things that makes me think a little..
The guy, Jim, wakes up after 28 days in a coma, yeah? Well… if everyone turned into zombies, how come he didn’t die of dehydration? Well, Lene… Not everyone turned all at once, so there would have been some people left to treat people in hospitals and stuff…
Then, why wasn’t he evacuated with the other people?
Could be that his condition were such that he couldn’t be moved? Seeing as he had massive head trauma.
well… Anyways.. Jim wanders around London, screaming HELLOOO?!??! getting very upset… Which I can totally understand. I’d be out of my mind had I woken up and no one was around, anywhere.
But he eventually meets a priest who tried to beat his ass, a guy, on fire, who wants to beat his ass… so I guess he thinks everyone hates him.. until he meets Selena and some other guy… the other guy gets bitten after they go to Jim’s parents house and they find them dead… Oh… btw.. SPOILER!!!!
So Selena killes him and they both agree that if either one gets infected that the otherone will kill him/her.
They, Selena and Jim, soon spots Christmas lights and finds people… Mr Mad Eye Moody and his daughter.
They find,on the radio, a call thingie that tells people to get their ass to someplace fast and stuff, and they all leave.
Well there they met military people.. or what’s left of a unit, I guess.. but best of all =3= Christopher Eccleston <3
The most handsome Dr Who… The Doctor… but not THE Doctor… THE Doctor is Tom Baker…
So yeah.. anyway… they find out that everyone, but the girls, are expendable… and seeing as Mr Mad Eye gets killer before they met the soldier people, that only leaves Jim to be sorted. However, he has a cunning plan… as a jet flies overhead he lies down and plays dead.
And after that Selena gives the daughter girl drugs so she won’t feel anything.. and Jim comes to save them… and he goes crazy bat shit on their asses. But he gets shot as they drive away… as those of the soldiers who doesn’t get killed by Jim gets killed by soldiers who’s been infected.. or ragefied.
There are two endings to this movie.  One where Jim dies and one where he wakes up and they are all far far far out in the country where the zombies can’t get to them without starving first.
So, if they meet a zombie with a well packed backpack they are in trouble.
OH, I almost forgot… Selena almost killed Jim because she thought he was infected.. but then she hesitates and he says “That was longer than a heartbeat” which is where this melody comes into the picture.. it is such an amazing melody…
Makes me all goose pimply…
So… in other news…
Jan rented a dumpster thingie.. huge ass dumpster thingie where we can throw all the trash we have in our house…
So already we’ve cleaned out all that’s not being used from the garage (including my bike.. bye bye XD *waves happily*) and a lot of trash that we found while taring down the old out house… things that we didn’t have room to throw last time we rented one of those dumpster thingies.
And I’ve thrown out loads of toys belonging to the kids.. and more to come tomorrow…
And I made pizza for dinner today… mmmmm… twas good.. Haven’t had it in ages and ages…
*yawns*
And there’s a Torchwood Marathon on TV… Of course there is now when I can’t watch it.. *sighs*
Well, I can, but I choose to stay on my computer. I prefer to watch Torchwood when I’m alone. That way I don’t have to listen to stupid comments from others.
*sighs* I’m so restless… I hate it when the movie site is down… Even if he hasn’t uploaded a movie, there is always something to do… or talk to.. or comment…
What’s happened??? D=
At least I know it isn’t my fault this time… lol
Meh, I’m going back to youtube to look at cool stuff… :3

Alien Trespass, a Lene review

Mood: Happy ^_^
Listening to: Nothing at the moment.. but will be watching “War of the Planets” quite soon…
And I’m happy because I got a moose steak =D Nommie dinner on new years eve ^_^

Right.. the movie

ALIEN TRESPASS!!! *Spoiler alert*

Starring:
Eric McCormack (Will, from “Will &Grace”)
Jenni Baird (I have no idea who she is… )
Robert Patrick (The T-model thingie robot from Terminator 2)
Jody Thompson (I have no idea who she is either)

There are more people in it, but I can’t be arsed to list them all… ImDb the movie if you’re wondering :3
So.. the movie..
It’s a lovely homage to the good old sci-fi classics like “It Came from Outer Space”, “The Day The Earth Stood Still” and “The War of the Worlds” (although, I fail to see the connection…)..and actually “I Married a Monster from Outer Space” (kinda).
Even though the movie is in colour, with modern everything, it’s filmed in the way it would be filmed in the 50’s, the actors acted as the actors did back then and the clothes are nicely time appropriate.
I’ve always loved the 50’s… and the 60’s… and the 20’s… I think I have an old soul… but I digress..

At the beginning of the movie you get a sort of “news reel” bit that you normally got at the movies before the movies started back in the 50’s (At least I think so… I wasn’t born back then, so I have to admit I woldn’t know exactly when they started showing news reels before movies…) and it’s about the movie in question. The actor jokingly quips about how the director will have his *beep* if he told anyone and so forth. It gives it a nice reality feel to it.
And then the movie start.
I have to admit, again, that I was very slow the day I saw it.  As the movie starts you see a woman painting, and she’s watching TV, and she sees the actor from the news reel… and is all ZOMG, HUNK!!
And then you see a house, with a woman out front and a man in the kitchen, seasoning the meat… No, get your mind out of the gutter… *slaps*
This is where I started thinking “Oh, great. It’s the classic comedy ‘doppleganger’ mixups…” not realising that it’s a movie within a movie…
So yeah.. the guy seasoning the meat (NO!!) is a scientist.. a star gazer if you will… normal egghead… and the woman out front is his wife. And appearently they have been married for a few years… and very happily too, it seems…
Anyways, his name is Ted Lewis, and his wife is Lana Lewis… They are waiting for a meteor shower. It seems like everyone in town is waiting for it. Even the kids at Look out point, or snog mountain or whatever the name of it was, are “looking” at the stars. Well, the guy is trying to look at the stars, she is busy figting of his busy hands. And they are going to get married and all that.
To jump ahead a little… a UFO crashes… and soemthing escapes the UFO before the guy driving the darn thing gets out… so he has to hunt the thing down. the thing that escapes is called either a Goda, Degoda, Thegoda or something like that.
Everyone rushes to see what’s happened. Well, not everyone.. it seems like falling meteors aren’t as interesting. A drunkard goes to see, and he runs away. Lewis goes to see, and he disappears.
The next morning he comes driving back, however, and seems to be acting very odd. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that he has been “taken over” by the driver of the UFO. But at least he’s a nice person and all that.  He wants Lana to be safe and asks her if she will help him… but seeing as he’s acting weird I guess the only thing she’ll help with is getting him put away in the loony bin…
But he gets away from her and starts his search for the Ghota, and he gets help from the chick who watched the news thingie of him on tv as she was painting.  Needless to say that the Ghota starts killing people… How? Tentacle attack and slurp. Yes, it noms all the parts of the human body that isn’t water or something like that.
Of course when people start hearing about a monster on the lose, they scoff at it and go about their business…. people being the police… untill one of them gets killed… and then another… and more people.
Eventually the Ghota, which has split in two, even though the taken over Lewis said that if that happened it would spell doom for the earth.. which it didn’t… is stunned and taken back to the UFO…
and every person who survived goes up there to see them off… by trying to kill them… But after heartfelt words the silly humans realise they shouldn’t go around shooting first and no0t bothering with the questions… and “Lewis” (real name Ugh..no wait… Urp… comes with realisations too… that humans aren’t as worthless and stupid as he thought… *sighs*

If you love good old sci-fi movies then by all means, don’t miss it.
It is a very lovely movie made very very well. The cast is solid and act, like I said, just as the actors would back in the day. A tad over acting, maybe, but that’s to be expected.
The movie is charming and lovely. The monsters are what you’d expect from a 50’s movie, simplistic in it’s making, but kinda of terrorfying when you realise just what they do to you.
And Urp, the hero… Just what you’d expect from a hero form outer space. Just a guy trying to do his job….
The heroine… a chick trying to make it in this crazy world.
I absolutely recommend this movie… it’s a gem…

Resident Evil I, II and III

Mood: happy
listening to: Oh.. hang on :3  Dr. Who Theme song… from the new series… *plays air guitar*

So yes… HERE BE SPOILERS!!! You have been warned..

Resident Evil I
It starts off with a nice day at the office… People run to catch elevators, busy themselves with getting to their cubicle in time and everyone is quite jovial towards one another. Well, except for that one rude guy who crashes into the guy with the coffee who gets his mugful down his shirt. But already dirty deeds have been done.
Someone has been in the lab and pilfered the T-Virus and the antivirus…. AND to make matters worse, the person has “accidentally” dropped one of the phials of T-Virus… and it’s now making its way through the ventilation system.. making the security systems go hey-wire, locks shit down and kills people by the means of drowning, gassing, decapitation and that’s about it… Still.. getting decapitated by an elevator isn’t my idea of a peaceful death.
So yeah… the Red Queen (Security system) calms down eventually and we cut to a lovely young lady in a shower… out cold. When she comes to her hair is fantastic!!! and she doesn’t seem to remember anything. Her name is Alice, but she doesn’t know that… at least I don’t think she does. Anyways.. it doesn’t matter… She starts walking around her Manson, finds a dress, puts it on and explores more, finds a drawer with guns in it which doesn’t seem to make her recoil in horror. Especially seeing as the lock mechanism in the lock box is pretty advanced. One might go so far as to suggest she might be a pro at something… So.. anyways… she goes outside and gets spooked by something, gets dragged inside by a guy, let’s for argument sake call him Matt (he’s the boss man to Ugly Betty), and seconds later soldiers crash through the windows, tackle the dude and slap handcuffs on him… How’s THAT for rape prevention? Too bad the guy is innocent… The leader of the soldier troop, One (yes, that’s what they call him), takes of his helmet and asks Alice if she’s alright and if she remembers anything.. and she says No… and he takes them down to the basement which just happens to have a train to the Umbrella Corporation… which happens to be deep in the bowels below the Manson. And they have like 2 some hours to find out what the hell happened down there and come back before the doors close forever and ever… and ever… on the train they find a new guy who also has no memory of what happened. Oh, the dude who got handcuffed don’t remember anything either. Incidentally the guy they find on the train looks just like a guy in a picture with Alice… which makes her think that just maybe they have a history.  I mean… she remembers them fumbling in bed… and then the handcuffed dude asks her if she remembers anything and she’s not sure.. I think… haziness…
Eventually they get to the place they need to be.. but it’s all shut down. So the tech guy will have to do some magic to get the system to start working… and he does it.. YAY! So just about half the assault team goes into the small corridor leading to the heart of the Red Queen… to shut her down so that they can explore. Well.. they make it into the corridor.. the system closes the doors.. and as a final “fuck you” the red queen turns on her laser beam… one looses his fingers… one gets cut in two at the waste… one gets her head cut of.. and the last one, One, gets diced up… literary.. I’m not kidding… the laser turns into a grid and it dices him up… To me it’s pretty awesome.. =D But then I’m into the gory stuff ^_^ Mr. Tech guy works his fingers to the bone to get the laser to stop lasering and get the doors opened just as One’s pieces slides to the floor. And of course the bad ass “I stand totally alone, I hate the world” chick, Rain, is pissed off at the techy guy, unrightly so, in my eyes.. he can’t help it if the red queen is sneaky. But yeah.. she’s all scowls and basically very ugly looking. I mean… Alice looks quite normal. When she’s pissed off you can tell she’s pissed of… she doesn’t scowl and basically look very ugly… maybe Rain could have played the “I hate the world” bit down a tad and she’d be looking nice… instead of a retard, I mean… I guess that’s “strong” women for you.
Anyways… they manage to lock down the red queen.. but not before the hologram of her tells them they will all die down there.  Upon their shutting down everything they really do shut down everything.. Everything from locks to doors etc. So.. whatever died down there, was made down there etc.. is on the lose. (I know there is something there because earlier they walked past a water filled lab with a person hovering amazingly in the middle of view… and as they walk away the person opens her eyes and touches the glass… so something is alive down there)
The soldier people talk and then they hear something, Rain goes to check it out, sees a lab type person, tells the person they’ll get her out and stuff… and the person bites Rain on the hand as thanks… Rain, being the lovable person she is, responds by shooting the living crap out of her… that is if the person had any living crap. The other soldier people come to and ask her why she shot the poor lady and Rain gets all pissy, scowls even more and tells them that the person got hostile. Personally, I don’t blame the person to take a chunk out of her… not with her sour disposition.
So yeah.. it becomes quite clear that the place is swarming with dead people. So they make a hasty retreat. However, I think they go back to charge up the red queen first… I’m not sure… damn, I should have taken notes.. XP
Well… on their way they run into masses of zombies, more zombies, zombie dogs, mutants and super mutants. And Alice starts to remember more and so does handcuff guy, who is actually there to find his sister.. who just happens to be Alice’s contact… Back story is that they were trying to get the T-virus out and destroy the Umbrella corporation. However, the guy Alice was supposed to be married to was working for the corporation, thwarted Alice in her attempts to get the virus, and broke the phial of virus that killed all the people down there. So he’s quite clearly the baddy.
Oh.. and Rain, quite justly, turns into a zombie too. I know people love her for her tough RAWRACTIONGIRL persona.. but I just think she could have done it without looking constipated.
OH… and the bad guy gets ravaged by big BIG mutant, who mutates even more and comes for the rest of them.
Anyways.. The bitten and scratched gets the antivirus, but sadly it doesn’t work.. so Rain goes RAWR and finally A SMILE! even if the teeth are all narly and ugh..
Let’s just say that in the end Alice and Matt are the only ones standing.. and they get out with 13 seconds to spare.. But then they get jumped by spacemen!!! no, just kidding… Umbrella corporation medical team in space suits. Seeing as Matt was clawed by the uber monster he’s starting to mutate too.. *tear* as Alice is beside herself, kicking ass, while screaming his name. *tear more*
They are taken away, and she later comes to in a room with tubes sticking out from basically everywhere. No one seems to want to come to her aid, so she has to to stuff herself, rips the tubes out, hot wires the door and walks into the chaotic streets. No one is there. Cars have crashed.. headlines say “Dead come back to life” or something like that.. and end movie.
Cameo in this movie is Jason Isaacs. He got the narrator sexy voice and Dr. Blue Eyes at the end of the movie.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (Resident Evil II)
It starts with people going nuts.. It’s the first time I’ve seen the whole thing, and I can’t remember EVERYTHING that happens… But I think we see a spunky woman, not her face, obviously… getting dressed like Lara Croft.. or kinda like you’d imagine Alice would dress if given a choice. So she, the woman, wanders in to a police station and starts shooting dead people… and you think YAY!! YOU KICK ASS, ALICE!!! until you see her face and you see it’s not Alice at all… kinda disappointing.. but I guess Valentine is OK.. if you’re a guy…
Then we see the end of the last movie.. Alice waking up, ripping the tubes and escaping the hospital to the mean deserted streets..
And as the Umbrella Corporation figures out that people are getting ugly… as in turning into zombies… they pick up everyone who just happen to be important… One of the scientists have a daughter, who gets picked up, but the car gets trashed by a truck and well.. it’s up to some soldiers to find her… One of the soldiers is Oded Fehr, in this movie Olivera…(in The Mummy – Ardeth Bay (nommie))
Anyways… the streets are dangerous… the people are zombies, no where is safe.. not even church… A gaggle of teethy, nasty, clawing, long tongued mutants have taken residence in one of them and is picking off people, one by one… until Alice crashed through the window on a motorbike and saves people. She is now fully clothed, is fully armed with nice guns and is mean… rawr… and Valentine gets all bitchy because this woman has stolen her kick ass style and is moving in on her turf “Who the hell are you?” *hair toss*
They get a call from the father of the girl and take on the assignment to find her.. They make it to the school, with the exception of Alice who had to take on an uber cool mutant which is totally bad ass…
But Valentine, TJ (a guy from the police station..) and a news lady (doesn’t matter, she dies) gets there, finds the girl.. and for some reason every kid in school is dead.
Now, I have to admit that I watched this on youtube.. which has a lot of idiotic comments attached. Like in the first movie.. when the guy “dropped” the phial of the T-Virus one person got all “WHY DID HE DO THAT????” Think, man! It was intentional… And in this one.. “Why would they bring zombie dogs to a school full of children?”  Ever think that the dogs were ok when they got there and THEN turned into zombie dogs??? Do I have to think of EVERYTHING???
But yeah… Valentine and TJ meets up with the soldiers, Carlos Olivera and Nicholai Ginovaeff, but sadly Nicholai dies. Valentine finds the girl and meets up with some zombie dogs.. in the school kitchen… She has no more bullets so she turns on the gas, and as they run out she lights a match and throws it in, but it goes out. Luckily Alice turns up, flicks a cigarette into the gas mass and it goes poof.. in slow mo… as she whips a fire blanket over her and the girl.. and Valentine gets flung across the room. And then Alice and the girl, who is the spitting image of the red queen from the hive in the first movie, has a heart to heart. And lo and behold.. the girl has the t-virus AND the antivirus.
So they make their way back to the girls father, who just got caught by some doctor dude… apparently it’s illegal to want your kid safe in times of zombie infestations.. *shrug*
It seems the only thing the doctor really wanted was Alice. To come there and fight huge mutant thing… which turns out is Matt from the other movie. I guess too much t-virus.. or too much antivirus is a bad thing. But he’s a VERY cool mutant. Kinda reminds me of Mr. Grin from one of those Hell box movie thingies… Hellraiser. Mr. Grin from Hellraiser.
but yeah…. they fight… and Alice finds it hard to kill the poor sod… And again Mr. Mutant Matt finds out some things about his “bosses” and gets a little pissed off. Well… eventually he helps them escape by sacrificing his own life *tear*
And the doctor dude gets tossed to the zombies. And there’s another doctor dude there called Dr. Isaacs. (trivia you have no interest in but amuses me: The director is a friend of Jason Issacs and named Dr. Issacs after him.. ) He wants Alice… and lucky for him, he gets her. As they fly away in the helicopter something happens and a thing flies towards the girl and Alice jumps in front of her to save her life… They find the helicopter crashed and Alice’s body, apparently dead.
However… a few months or weeks later she wakes up in a fish tank… and is brought out of the water by Dr. Isaacs. She is all wtf? at first, but then she remembers everything, kicks some ass and escapes. And on the way out she finds out she has awesome powers of telekinetic nature and kills a security guard just by looking at the camera.
On the outside Valentine, TJ (yes, he survived *shock*) and Olivera for her and take her away. But it’s clean that the corporation has done something to her… end movie…

Resident Evil: Extinction (Resident Evil: III)
It’s all dry… the earth as we know it is dry. People are zombies.. the ones who survived are moving around to escape getting eaten.
A convoy started by some chick is trucking through the deserts of America… along with her are loads of kids, TJ (yeah, he’s still hanging in there) and Olivera…
Alice is there too.. not with the convoy, but in the deserts… She gets captured by some people who are truly fucked in the head. For their own enjoyment they toss people who respond to their “distress” call into a pit with zombie dogs… but of course Alice is smart and escapes…
Eventually the convoy and Alice meet up… Luckily it’s in the middle of a zombie crow attack.. and she flambes all the crows with a flamethrower and her telecethingie… Olivera is happy, at least…
But yeah… as soon as the convoy chick finds out some stuff, she wants Alice to leave. Because.. in a convoy there can only be one hot chick..
Anyways… they decide to go to Alaska.. but have to go to Las Vegas first to get food and gas.
Unfortunately the zombies are clown zombies too.. because they are all hiding in a clown container… which works just like a clown car… it’s amazing how many can fit into that container thingie… but yeah… almost all of them gets whipped out. Oh.. and TJ gets turned into a zombie… and he bites Olivera before he dies…
And the corporation is there too.. and they manage to somehow turn Alice off.. in the middle of a zombie battle they turn her off… but she fights it.. and finds out where they are.. kills people and stuff, but Dr. Isaacs manages to escape.. but gets bit… and od’s on antivirus.. and mutates.. into.. tentacle man… with sonic boom rawr…
But yeah.. They find out where the corporation is holding up… basically it’s just follow the stench of rotting zombie flesh.. duh… but seeing as the zombies all of a sudden can’t climb stuff (even though they climbed the Eiffel tower in Las Vegas with ease) all the zombies are standing outside the fence leading to the place where the Umbrella stuff is staying.
So.. Olivera gets a plan… seeing as he is going to die anyways, might as well go out with a bang.. so he jumps into one of the trucks, loads it up with TNT and crashed into zombies… prays for one last weed, finds it and lights the fuse.. and goes out with a bang…
This paves the way for the rest of the people who jump in the helicopter and takes of to Alaska.. save Alice.. who has some ass to kick…
She meets Dr. Tentacle man and they have it out… And Alice finds a copy of herself.. in a fish tank.. and it bursts.. so now there are two.. but the fish tank one dies… so one is left..
And then they fight some more and end up in the corridor with the laser thingie from the first movie.. and Dr. tentacle face is all HAH! I WILL KILL YUUU!!! and Alice laughs and say “we’ll both die down here” and the laser starts up… turns into a grid and slices Mr tentacle man into pieces. And the beam stops miraculously just in front of Alice.. and we see fish tank Alice standing by the controls…
Then.. in Japan… the corporation is all “ZOMGWHATAREWEGONNADOWE’REGONNADIE!” and some dude tells them to chill out or soemthing and Alice beams in and tells them she’ll be right over with a few friends.. and you see Alice and fish tank Alice looking at row after row of Alice’s.. many many rows…
And end movie…

Hope you enjoyed it..

Cloverfield

**SPOILER**
THIS MOVIE IS CRAP!!!!!

I think I might have written a review of this one before, but it’s so crap it deserves another viewing…

The only cool thing about this movie is when the one chick explodes. But honestly, it’s like… if I watch this movie I’ll have wasted like 80 some minutes of my life, and I’ll never get them back.. If you’re anything like me and you have to see the monster to be scared, you are going to be SO disappointed. The monster… you barely get to see it, and when it’s in full view it’s out of focus. That’s mainly because of the camera dude, Hud, is total crap camera dude. Honestly!!! If you come face to face with a fucking monster that has just invaded your city AND killed a friend and you get a chanse to film the fucking thing, YOU DON’T FILM YOUR FRIENDS BEING “SCARED”!!!! unless, of course, you’re a MORON!!! (Things are not looking good for you, Hud).
Ok, so I’ll talk alittle about the movie. It starts with a home video, if I’m not too mistaken. Happy man, happy woman and then a party. Someone screws up. Happy man becomes unhappy man. The only thing I’, envious of is that the guy, ex-happy, get to escape it all and go to Japan. Well, that’s was the plan.. or I’ve totally fucked up the story. Not that it matters. The story is weak and doesn’t really matter or worth taking a notise of. It slowly and lazily trotts along, absentmindedly dropping hints of nothing interesting what so ever all through the movie.
Well, anyway… At the party happy woman leaves becaise of something only a gossip would find interesting and then suddenly somethings, people get scared and run. And they run and run and at a bridge something smashes it with its tail. People get scared and run and run and finally they calm the fuck down. Then they figure out that they are gonna pick up happy woman at her flat. Distressed phonecall “Zomg, I’m trapped. Zomg, I’m gonna die” bitch moan. They then come almost face to face with the monster. I say almost because you can’t see shit! Well… legg and an arm…. But legs and arms do not a monster, at least a crappy one, make. So they escape into the underground subway and decide to walk to where happy woman lives. On the way they get attacked by mini monsters and one of them get bitten. That’s about the only exciting bit so far. They come to a mall or something and the army gets them. They are taken away to a make-shift hospital thingie where loads of mamed, mangled and dead people are being kept/helped. There is a scuffle and suddenly the bitten chick gets taken behind a screen while people are crying “We have a bite!” or something like that… and she explodes.
Again… only exciting bit…
After that it goes down hill. The stuff that happens are boring. They save happy woman from her flat where she’s been impaled, and they are taken away by the army in helicopters. But the monster isn’t finished hazzling this small group of people. And while all the escapees are happy, the monster makes them all crash.
The camera guy gets eaten, not that the filming improves a bit after that…
To be quite honest… I’ve lost interst at this point. The two remaining people say their goodbyes to the camera and I think an a-bomb goes off a few blocks away from them.
And then you see more home movie stuff and in the background you can see the monster splashing in water. Weather it came from the deep or from space I don’t know… and I don’t care.
Yeah… so…. do yourself a favour… watch something else… interesting…
Oh, and the shaking hand camera syndrom thingie supposed to make you feel seasick… it doesn’t… it’s just annoying.. and you want to throw shit at the screen…

Beowulf, a Lene movie review

***SPOILER***

What can I say about the movie?
It’s a valid attempt. They had some great actors in it. Some were easily recognized, some not so much. Like Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie, John Malcovich and of course Brandon Gleeson (Mad Eye Moody)
I have no idea who Beowulf is… the actor, that is… not the myth… well.. I don’t know who he is either.. lol.. well, I kinda know.. but not much… anyways…
Alls I know about Beowulf is that he talks funny. Yes, I have seen it before, but only partly. I saw the beginning one night but had to go to bed and almost all of it a day or so later, but was watching something else too, so I didn’t get to see it all…. However I feel I’ve seen enough… and I’m watching it now, so…. But yeah.. Beowulf… weird accent when he’s excited/angry. I think I read somewhere that the guy playing him is from Wales, but I’m not holding that against him. However, when he screams “I WILL KILL YOUR MONSHTAH” I must be allowed to object somewhat… or break down laughing… because it is a little ridiculus.
Grendal is the bad guy in this tale… kind of… not by his own making, but because people see him as a bad guy just because he’s different. Just like dragons are evil just because they breath fire… PSH!
I guess what really bugs me about this movie is that it could have been so much better if the details, like lips and eyes, were better made. The only eyes that were great, in my eyes, were the queens. Eyes don’t react to light and the lips seem flat.
I just noticed that a poor girl looks like she has a sheet of glass down her front, because her boobs are flat when she leans forward, and normal boobs don’t do that… And Beowulf’s three expressions seems to be shock, puzzlement and rage…
Anyways, Angelina, as we all know, have full lips. In this movie they seem to disappear at times. Another thing is… this movie is set in Denmark. The kingdom where this all takes place is surrounded by mountains. Denmark has ONE mountain…and it’s about 140 some meters tall… and I don’t know if that can be called a mountain…
Back to Grendal. He attacks the village because they are making too much noise. they are basically the neighbors from hell. After kicking, smashing, ripping and spearing loads of people, the king tries to get him to attack, but Grendal knows better and goes on his merry way. The kingdom is in dire need of a hero, and this is where Beowulf comes into the picture. After he arrives and some hassling from one of the dudes, Unferth, they finally get down to MONSHTAH killing business. While Beowulf takes a nap, in the nude,  the rest of his crew starts to sing…badly… so it’s no wonder Grendal attacks again. Poor Grendal has a deformed ear, so everything he hears gets bumped up x10.  No wonder he’s in a bad mood. And there’s something weird about his blood. When he attacked the kingdom the first time his blood was red, in this attack his blood is orange and slime looking. Anyway… Beowulf attacks, still nude and shit blocks the view EVERY TIME!!!! and gets kicked back. But he discovered the ear thing and attacks again, this time punching his ear.  You can’t help but feel sorry for Grendal… and his old English tongue ^_^
Beowulf wins by ripping the arm of Grendal and stupid as he is he boasts about who he is to the MONSHTAH… so that he can tell all his friends just in case they would like to seek revenge…
Grendal goes home and dies in his mothers arms (Angelina) and she gets pissed off…
The ones who was killed by Grendal there is a funeral fit for heroes, and for Beowulf there is gratitude, gold and mead. And then he tells everyone about how he killed the MONSHTAH. Meanwhile Grendals mother lay him to rest, mourn him and gets even more pissed off. She slips into the village, seduces Beowulf in his dreams and turns into a scary looking MONSHTAH making him wake up to discover that all his mean, save Wiglaf (Mad Eye Moody), is dead.
At first they think it’s Grendal who has regrown his arm and killed them, but the king tells them that it was his mother, Grendal’s mother, that is…
So… Beowulf sets of to get Grendal’s mother, but instead of her head he gets a deal. “If you give me a son, I will make you a king. But you’ll only be king for as long as this gold gauntlet is in my halls.”
Beowulf eagerly agrees, goes back, happy as can be, telling everyone how he killed the MONSHTAH and all that.
The king has his suspicions about the true story, realises that he can’t win, tells everyone that when he dies, everything will go to Beowulf and then jumps of the tower. Beowulf gets crowned pretty hastily, and the queen is all “YEY!! I’m FINALLY gonna get laid!”
Many years pass and some twit returns to the king with the gauntlet and suddenly shit starts to happen. A dragon starts to attack people and things, and Beowulf has to kill that MONSHTAH too. He eventually manages to kill the dragon but in the prosess dies too, but not before making Wiglaf the new king.
At he watches Beowulf’s funeral boat fire thingie he spots Grendal’s mother come towards him with the gold gauntlet…
Let’s hope he is made of stronger stuff…
End of the movie…

One thing that strikes me when I watch it is that I expect Angelina to say “Alexander the Great” when she’s talking.. lol
What I love about the movie is how well they made everything else.. The dragon, the nature, smoke, pebble son the beach, water and how Grendal’s mother melt into the decor of the ceiling of her cave.
Even though they didn’t do all that well with eyes and lips, they did the rest very very well..
I can’t say that the movie is interesting enough to watch more than once, and now I’ve endured it two and a half times…
All to make you a review…
I hope you’re fucking happy…

Dr. Who and the Daleks

I felt it was time to do a new movie review… And I’m quite sure people haven’t seen this one..
It was made in 1965, and before I started to watch it, I have to say that I didn’t used to be a Dr Who watcher until I saw the Doctor who was before David Tennant, Mr Christopher Eccleston…. who, in my mind, was the best Doctor ever… Why they killed him off, I have no idea… AND EDDIE IZZARD WAS ROBBED!!! HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE NEW DOCTOR AFTER DAVID!!!! *cough*Well… he was the reason I started watching Dr Who and when I saw the Sci Fi channel was airing Dr Who, I started to watch…. some….. (we’re up to the 80’s now…)
Anyways… the movie was made in 1965, and I was hoping that one of the old Doctors would be the Doctor… but no such luck… instead we got Giff MaulGrand Riff….Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing)… a little younger, yet still old looking… make-up is a wonderful thing…

Anyway… here’s the plot:
Based on a story from the BBC TV serial “Doctor Who”. Scientist Dr. Who accidentally activates his new invention, the Tardis, a time machine disguised as a police telephone box. Dr. Who, his two grand-daughters, and Barbara’s boyfriend Ian are transported through time and space to the planet Skaro, where a peaceful race of Thals are under threat of nuclear attack from the planet’s other inhabitants: the robotic mutant Daleks.

There were loads of things that bugged me when I started watching this movie…
True, the Doctor had a grand-daughter and she was Barbara’s age… but that’s where all the similarities between the BBC thing and this Americanized movie ends… well… they got the Daleks right too…
For some reason Doctor Who lives in England… not that there’s anything wrong with that, but you have remember that the Doctor is an alien… with two hearts… and he’s from Galifrey… And seeing as he’s a Time Lord, they were given Tardis’ there…
So yeah… they royally fucked that up… They didn’t even get the Tardis sound right…
But special effects were kinda good… I didn’t really think that lava lamps were in, decor wise, on Skaro…

I have to admit I had to have a lot of patiance watching it…
Reason is… one of my least favorite things were in the movie… hysterical screaming women…
Yeah, I really hate it… I’m the kind of woman that’s cheering for the bad guy when there’s a hysterical screaming woman in the movie. Texas Chainsaw Massacre… I was hoping the dude would slice her up so that we’d be safe from her intolerable screaming…
Same with Cujo… If I could I’d help the dog get inside the car… well… truth be told.. it was an hysterical screaming child in that one… but still… it’s annoying and SOOOO unnecessary…

Anywho…
If you have 82 minutes to kill, go a head and watch it…
It’s not the worst movie in the world, but it helps if you know nothing about Dr Who… Then it’s actually kinda interesting.. But if you know, then you’ll find yourself screaming at the TV because of all the errors.
One of hem being the Daleks is far too easy to kill…. And they weren’t as argumentative as they usually are…

I think I’ve covered it all…. *shrug*

Lene

I really think…

Mood: Slightly pissed
Listening to: Nothing at the moment…

Good morning.
I went to the unemployment office today to clear some things up… Like if I were to go to the follow-up course, if I have to pay back the money the unemployment office over payed me… twice…
So I went there, talked to some guy, and I don’t think he understood me. He went to talk to some other person who came back and I don’t think he understood me either. How hard is it to understand that I was going to a follow-up couse before christmas and I want to know if I still attend the course, because it said on the note I got from them back in August last year that it was 4 weeks course and 6 months follow-up… and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that august to december is NOT 6 months… So they said I didn’t have a course to go to.. even though I think they misunderstood everything… so I didn’t go today. If I get yelled at got it, I’ll blame them. The follow-up thingie is supposed to end in february or march… They need to figure things out down there… seriously… So the guy finally said that I had a meeting with my caseworker next week to figure everything out. Oh… and I now have yet a new caseworker… *sighs*
I showed the guy the money thingie and told him that I was sure I got too much money from them, and he looked at the email the person I talked to about it way back in november of last year wrote to the person who was going to figure out of I had gotten too much money or not,  and just handed it back and said that I had to talk with my caseworker about it, after I had asked if I should talk to her about it. He didn’t even tryyyyy…

I’m so disappointed, yet not surprised at all.  I just really want this over and done with…

Over to something a little more fun… :3
Camilla and I went shopping on tuesday… I finally got two pairs of pants, really cool XD and I love them deeply…
And I got new Hello Kitty socks. Bright pink/black, bright pink, black and black/white striped, black/red and black with red hearts… and I got leg warmers… I kinda look like a dancer now… and some how so very not…
And I got a bamboo steamer… I so wanted one for so many years… and finally I found one.. XD AAAND chinese five spice… So now I can start making my peking duck XD
I got almost everything I need… The only thing I’m missing is vinegar, dry cherry and honey… I’ve also decided that I’ll be making the over-long-period-of-time duck… It’ll take me hours and hours, but I bet it’ll be worth it…
AND Camilla and I were followed by Totoro yesterday. No matter where we went, there he was.
and if I knew how, I’ll paste a picture of him here…. but since I still don’t know how to do it, it’ll have to wait.

Edit: I KNOW HOW NAAAAAAAAAAAO XD

But now I’m going to play me some Zomg… I really like that game.. even though some people are ruining it for everyone else.. but hey.. I guess this is true with all online games…
