I might possibly be the last person say this about Men in Black, but im there might be a pot head journalist who doesn't even know it, (though it's unlikely).. I haven't seen it yet, but I really want to.
So I'll make an educated guess about it (using stuff I already know about it from trailers and movie review articles). But it's not all dull and gloomy, because I'll be expressing my excitement on Kristen Stewart's first 'real' movie, Snow white and the Huntsman.

   

Well for one thing, Im looking to the widely praised younger Agent K (Josh Brolin), he plays Tommy Lee's part very well..or so I hear. I'll skip the story of the movie because..well, Im sure by now you all know, but if there's someone that has been under a rock the past couple of weeks, then "Agent J travels in time to MIB's early years in the 1960s, to stop an alien from assassinating his friend Agent K and changing history" (http://www.imdb.com/). So what to expect?. Well, Agent J (Will Smith) going crazy..well, you what I mean. Agent K's ever level-headed rationalism, (which I must say, happen to find ammusing). So all-in-all, I'll be expecting a typical M.I.B movie.

Now for Snow white..

..just by looking at this picture, you can bet this will be a good better, (worlds better than Twilight..I'm sorry but I had to get that out in the open), but more realistically speaking, the cast of this movie is so interesting, I mean Kristen Stewart (as Snow White), Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron just mention the major players of the movie.
This movie to me looks and feels like Lord of the Rings meets Twilight but with an awesome and new twist. I can't to see this one, and I can't wait to see how the actors bring the characters alive.
Can't wait, Snow white and the huntsman 01 June 2012 in a cinema close to you.

One more thing, if you"re a die hard fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, next week I'll be reviewing the next big thing to come out of that production hat, The Hobbit.. I saw the trailer and damn!!

kings of hip hop

 


The Hip hop game has changed dramatically over the years, from the giants Tupac, B.I.G, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg, Snoop Dogg and X zibit to mention a few, to Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Jay Z, 50 cent (G-unit), Nas, Black Eyed Peas, Nick Cannon and the newest, most shocking addition to the very long list, Serena Williams. It seems like hip hop has changed from the 'smart quick lines and hard punch lines' to something soft, pretty with glitter all over and seemingly pointless, (but hey,that's my opinion), it's only a few people that has been true to the game, and even they seem to dip on the softer side of hip hop at point or another, Jay Z for example. The man had fallen into a dark bottomless pit and if it wasn't for the 'heroics' of Kanye West, everyone would be saying " Jay Z who??..oh, the dude who used to spit dope rhymes back in the day".
It does bring up a good question though, if Tupac and B.I.G were still alive, would hip hop be in this dire situation?.

 "..The Girl on Fire".

I finally watched the 'popularly praised' movie The Hunger Games and contrary to some 'popular' belief that it would be a total bore,it was'nt.
It was like watching Twilight Breaking Dawn in a Bugatti Veyron doing 270km/h in a school zone area,totally mind boggling,well atleast after 59 minutes of it.
Twilight meets Avatar, imagine the technology and incredible story line of Avatar and the scenery and 'polished-snot nosed' teenagers of the Twilight series to create the close-to-brilliance that is The Hunger Games, though the movie is highly political..and no, i don't think i'll go it that, just yet, the movie was awesome and I'll leave it at that.
Sadly not everyone agrees with me, for example a girl with which I watched the movie has a slighty different view and brings up an interesting point. though keep in mind that she occasionally grabbed my arm and screamed during some intense scenes..
"nice movie shame bt its def nt my idea of a brilliant thot out action film..watchn a bunch of teens kill each otha?!Ow en app its da next "Twilight"..ok look,da movie is gud,bt nt tht gud.I mean thez r two completely diff concepts,y compare nyway!Wit tht sed,i giv it 7/10." - Sivenathi Mabuya-(facebook.com)
So you go watch it and decide for yourself.
