Rampage

Uwe Boll's Rampage, could it be his first good movie? Umm...no. This is still a shitty movie but at least it's somewhat watchable. Yeah it moves slow, yeah it's unfocused, and yeah the acting is pretty bad, oh the visuals are crappy as well, but it is entertaining if you just want a shallow shoot em up type of movie. Dude hates his life and makes a kevlar suit and kills people, that's the general idea of the movie and it does that part decently enough but still has to go a long way to be considered to be an actual movie. Pass on this movie unless you want some laughs cause it's a pretty bad movie. Alright...it's a damn right bad movie...just pass on it.

Brick

Brick...one of my favorite movies...period. Take and old school noir film and put it in a modern day high school setting and you get Brick. This is a great movie that finds its feet very early on and takes you on a dramatic ride till the very end. This is a prime example of a neo-noir film. Everything is accounted for here...the private eye type protagonist...the gumshoe attitude..the smart sidekick, in this case Brain...the kingpin of the criminal organization...even the quick dialogue with slick stylized syntax and diction. It looks like a high school drama, but sounds like, feels like, and ultimately is an 1930's noir. Everything just comes together perfectly to exude the noir theme from the music, to the camera angles, to the aforementioned dialogue. Take this movie for what it is and enjoy it. Easily one of the best movies of the past ten years...and definitely one of the most underrated and unknown.

Catching up on my beers

BJ's PM Porter. This is one of the beers from BJ's and it's decent, but not really one of my top brews but a good beer nonetheless. It pours a deep brown color with a great head with great retention and lacing. This is an easy beer to drink cause it goes down so smooth. I'm not sure what its abv but I didn't taste the alcohol at all. The aroma was hard to smell because of the locale but I did smell a hint of coffee. It has a generally sweet flavor that finished slightly bitter but there isn't anything too spectacular about the flavor of the brew. There's not even a particular flavor that stands out, just a general sweetness and bitterness. It's works though especially with the very very mild carbonation and smooth texture. Easy to drink but tougher to place. If my favorite beers are 10/10, this would be a 6/10.

Bud Light, this beer is simple to describe. It pours a clear yellow, now head, no lacing, no flavor. It's basically water with some alcohol. This is a beer pong beer, but I'd still rather use Budweisers for beer pong. Fuck this light beer shit.

Pliny the Elder is a great IPA. It pours a golden yellow color with a white head and great retention. There isn't much lacing though, but that isn't that big of a deal. The aroma is very floral and perfumes of hops. You can tell that this is an IPA by the aroma and if you like IPAs you'll appreciate it all the better. The flavor is kinda tricky to me cause I'm not too accustomed to IPAs but it did start off with a good breadiness. The flavor kinda turns citrus-like and finished with a hoppy explosion that IPA lovers will rejoice in. This is way up there in my favorite IPA brews and is a great beer in and of itself. Wow...

Corona Extra. How the mighty have fallen. I used to swear by this beer when I first started to drink beers regularly. It goes best with a slice of lime. It pours a clear yellow with heavy white head but it dissipates very fast and has no lacing. It has thick carbonation and has both a skunky aroma and flavor. It goes best with lime cause it masks the true flavor of the beer. I have a hard time drinking this beer nowadays. Makes me kinda sad. 

Budweiser, put simply, this is Bud Light with slightly more flavor. Ugh...

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, what is there to say about this movie? It's a poor vampire movie, it's a poor werewolf movie, it's a poor romance movie...so what does the movie have going for it? Well, it has abs and the following a millions and millions of tweens drooling over them. Alright, on to the truth of the movie. I don't know where to place this movie. This movie isn't better than the first two, but I enjoyed it more, probably because Ashley Greene has a somewhat bigger role in this one and this one had some action in it even though it was minuscule at best. I never read any of the books, although I tried, and these movies are so far from my demographic it's not even funny. I was able to stay awake for the first two all the times I watched them, but the second time catching this knocked me the fuck out. So yea, basically this is a movie to watch if you like the books, otherwise you aren't raelly gonna give a rat's ass what happens to anyone in the movie. There's too much abs and not enough substance. Too much teen drama and bad acting. Watch this movie if you like the books otherwise it isn't worth the effort. This is a bad movie that does really well because of the fan base that it caters to. Good job Jacob...make sure you wear more clothes in your next movies if you ever do anything outside of the Twilight movies.

UFC 116

Alright…so Saturday was a good day with the Alvarados. Well i started off with some halo with Bishop, Brandon, and Chelsea. That was a blast and after that picked up Rose and then went to Alex and Mitchell’s pad where we caught UFC 116 with Alex, Mitchell, and his two cousins. The Lesnar Carwin fight was pretty legit. Lesnar got brutalized on the first round and Carwin punched his breath away. Carwin wanted the first round victory but wore himself out. He tapped out to Lesnar in the second round…which is the first time he ever had to go into the second round, all his other fights were done within the first. We had pizza as well and after the fight we had some Modern Warfare and Killzone. Pretty legit day.

After that I went home and chilled with my sister and Terra. We played a little bit of Halo and then I went to Garrett’s place to drink a little bit. That was pretty bomb too and I think I had a decent amount to drink.

Today was 4th of July Sunday, pretty boring overall. Woke up, went to work, ushered, came home, watched some Bones, and now watching Brick. Such is life.

Kill me now

Basically I woke up and went to work..work was utter shit today. I'm not gonna name names but basically they wanted us to run the floor in a way that would not work. Power trip at it fullest. Fuck that...I might as well take myself out of the mentor program...but yea...after that bullshit I hung out with Rose, Justin, and Jimmy and we got some In-n-Out. I ended the night with Halo 3, an elder, and South Park. Good end to a shitty day.

Killing spree

I woke up...surfed the net and texted for a bit. Then I watched an episode of 24 and started playing Halo 3. Lost track of time and watched Moon and ended up going out to eat with Chelsea and Kevin at Del Taco at like 2:30 am and met up with Caydie there.
