A must watch!

This is something everyone should see.

After seeing this, ask yourself; how long will people stand for this? How long before a “maniac” shooting police officers becomes a hero? How long before rebellions, actual bloody upheavals, are in effect?

You may think such things are far away, but there is a limit somewhere, even to you. You are all sheople, screwed and bullied sheople. But there is a limit...

... where is yours?

DVD Review: HALLOWEEN NIGHT (2006)

------Review by contributing writer Scott Baker------

Hayes has been on a roll lately with the quality of the movies he's picking out for me to review. So far, the last several he has given me have been nice surprises. I'm happy to report that HALLOWEEN NIGHT continues that trend. I really enjoyed this one and will probably watch it again soon. I have to admit, though: this one had me worried. When I read the back of the DVD case, I cringed because the premise sounds VERY familiar. Here it is, straight from the case:

"Based on the actual events of Halloween night, 1982, an inmate of a maximum security medical facility escapes after brutally murdering two guards. Upon returning to the house where he was born, he goes on a killing spree that will make him Southern California's greatest mass murderer."

Egh...how many times of you heard that shtick? BUT, thankfully, the movie is so much more than this brief description lets on. In fact, I would describe it is an inventive and slick thriller that contains a lot of gore, chills, and even dark humor.

One thing that is surprisingly not mentioned in the synopsis is the fact that the killer is a horribly disfigured teen who has been burned beyond recognition. I gotta tell you: the burn make-up job for this character is excellent. The effects team probably didn't have a huge budget to work with, but you can't tell that from looking at this guy's face. Wow. He's so hideous that he makes Freddy Krueger look like a super-model. Even with the make-up aside, the special effects overall are very well done and the gore is very believable. One of the greatest gore effects comes about in the beginning, when the main character's mother has part of her head blown off. Not to sound freakish, but I was very impressed. There are also many other death scenes that are fun to watch as well, including a girl's unique demise using a wooden hangar.

The film is shot well, although my only complaint about it visually is that I feel like the lighting was off in certain scenes. The lack of light in some scenes gives the shots a grainy look, while there is too much light in a couple of the later shots. But this is hardly noticeable and certainly doesn't detract from the frights. The cast was top-notch, too, which is (as I've stated in previous reviews) surprising, given the low budget of the film. The members of the cast were able to lend credibility to their characters and throw in a great deal of dark humor with each of them as well. This is not an easy thing to do, but director Mark Atkins and his team pull it off without a hitch.

Overall, I give this movie high marks all the way around. If you're looking for the perfect late-night Halloween movie to watch, give Halloween Night a look for sure. But make sure you've eaten first before you sit down to watch. The blood and gore might not take you to Vomit-town, but the ghastly appearance of the killer's burned skin probably will.

Movie review: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2 (2010)

I just returned home from watching PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2 and I have to say that the follow-up to last year's hit holds up well, if not surpasses the original film. While not without it's flaws, it still manages to be one of the best Horror films of the year, hands down.

I wont go into to much about how this film is related to the first, but the filmmakers did a remarkable job tying the two films together. One of the greatest aspects of both the first film and this film is the acting. The people you see on screen don't seem like actors. They seem like real people that you are watching horrible events happen to, and their distress and concern looks absolutely genuine.

While not as "fresh" feeling as the first film, I think part 2 was scarier overall with more "jump scares" than the original. While we had seen a lot of the activity before (doors slamming, random objects moving by themselves), it was still creepy to see these things happening again to a new couple. The demon seems to be up to his old tricks again and shows off some new things we haven't seen before. One of the scariest and unnerving scenes is when the unseen demon is keeping the young mother from reaching her child who is crying in his crib. I wont say more than that, as I don't want to ruin this for anyone who hasn't seen it, but it will grab you with intense fear, as you can see that this demon is totally in control.

As you can see from the trailer, a young baby is involved, which adds to the creepiness of the film. Those of us with kids will be especially unnerved at the scenes involving the young child, chilled with thoughts of anything like this ever happening to our own children.

If I had to find fault with the film, it would be with the ending. While the ending was good and fit well with the film, I still find it lacking and somewhat anti-climatic. This was probably due to the fact that the biggest scare from the first film came in the final seconds of the film as the body of Micah is instantly thrown directly into the camera. I guess I was expecting something even bigger at the end of this one but it actually ended somewhat quietly.

Don't let that take away from the fact that this was still a remarkable film that every Horror fan should check out before it leaves the theaters. Not many sequels are as good as the originals and certainly aren't any better, but this is not your ordinary sequel. The filmmakers have a couple of great films under their belt so far, and I can see this becoming a franchise with at least a few more stories to tell. Check this one out asap!

DVD Review: BONBONS ROUGES

A.Normale Productions proudly presents, BONBONS ROUGES. You might remember A.Normale Productions from my review of their other films, such as SEDUCTION OF EVIL and the KILLER CUP films. BONBONS ROUGES is another great film from these fine folks, and is perfect for watching during this Halloween season! Here is the basic synopsis from the A.Normale website:

On Halloween night, the rules are simple. House lights bring the kids to get candy. But, when it gets late and really dark, the rules change...

Let me preface this review by saying this is not a high quality, big budget film. It is a very low budget, independent film made by Horror fans, for Horror fans. What is lacks in production values and film quality, is totally made up for with its spirit and overall entertainment value.

The film can be confusing at times when it comes to the plot, as there are a lot of things going on within the film, but don't let that be a distraction to you. Sit back and enjoy the creepy images this film has to offer. One of the coolest things about this film, is seeing all the cool horror memorabilia throughout the film. You will see cool horror movie posters, as well as comics, and toys from all different Horror franchises. The inclusion of all things things let me know from the start that the makers of this film weren't just making a Horror film for some quick cash, but rather because they are true fans of the Horror genre.

The film hosts a little gore, with one of the greatest scenes involving an wooden spike impaled through the mouth of a certain victim, an obvious reference to the cult classic, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. Gore isn't the main focus here, as the focus tends to rely on mood and imagery, most of which is very creepy and unsettling!

The acting in this film is excellent. Much better than the caliber of acting you would expect from such a low budget film. The couple in the film had amazing chemistry and were very believable as a couple.

As with all the A.Normale films I have seen, this one also throws a bit of humor into the mix, although dark humor at times. Humor is never the focus with their films, but it is thrown in throughout the film and mixes perfectly with the Horror elements of the picture.

Overall this is a fun, entertaining film that I would highly recommend to all fans of low budget, independent films.

The DVD includes tons of special features, including:

*Making of BONBONS ROUGES featurette with bloopers
*Halloween 2009 World Premiere Footage
*Alternate Ending
*Cult Radio A-Go-Go radio interview
*Photo Gallery
*Trailers for other A.Normale Productions films
*A Drinking Game version of the film

Check out the killer tire movie, RUBBER!

Yes, you read that correctly. RUBBER is a French film about a killer...well, tire. That is pretty much all you need to know. People are always complaining that slasher films don't have any originality anymore, and that there haven't been any good killer characters like Freddy or Jason in years. Well....here ya go. This is definitely something that hasn't been done before (although maybe that was for a good reason). Either way, a killer tire is pretty scary I guess. In fact, meeting up with a killer tire would be quite treadfull I would imagine! You definitely would not be having a Goodyear if you came in contact with this killer tire! Ok, I'm done now.

The bizarro world of humans

Starting my day by reading Leg Iron, as I always do, I felt the need to check out news across the globe on my own. Although almost all news bulletins in our modern time has an inherent charm, I actually find that what most people wouldn’t consider ‘fun’ as the funniest stories of all.

Let me give you some of todays amusing examples.

Remember Haiti? They had a little rumble the other year, got an obscene amount of billions thrown at them, and now they have a Cholera outbreak. Why is this funny? Because the country has received so much money in aid, even before the Earth Quake, that the 9 million inhabitants should be relaxing on beautiful beaches. Instead they are starving, they still have about 2 million people homeless (or close to it) and now they are facing an illness easily avoided.

What they need are self-reliant citizens with an understanding on how to build houses. What they need is an armed populace able to defend themselves and their property against thieving lefties. What they need is freedom and a minimalistic government that stay out of peoples affairs. What they need is capitalism. Instead they got ex-presidents W-chimp and the McDonald’s munching Cunt’on, do help them. What they got was billions upon billions in aid sent alongside thousands of rescue workers and so many containers filled with water, food and blankets that it could have fed the entire city of Miami for a year. It didn’t work, it never works. So they continue to starve, they continue to be bullied around by a corrupt system, and they continue to attract funny diseases easily avoided.

Another side-splitting story comes from Mexico where gunmen stormed a party in the border city of Ciudad Juarez killing at least 13 people and wounding 14. Although not yet directly linked to the Mexican governments war against its own people, it’s not very farfetched to think that certain inhabitants going on these sorts of sprees can be linked to the pointless war on drugs. Instead of letting people make informed decisions on a open market making drugs cheap, clean and free from mafia, the Mexican government prefers tens of thousands dead. What every government in the history of this planet has failed to do, the Mexican thinks they can do with enough corrupt police officers and a couple of helicopters from the U.S. For every detached head found and for every easily avoided massacre I cannot help myself laughing, and laughing, and laughing…

In Sweden the police continue to hunt for a serial shooter. This fiendish “man-like” fanatic racist homophobic Muslim-hating Nazi right-wing maniac shooter between 20-40 years (with a margin of error of some years) is apparently getting around on a bike on his well-planned spree. It seems that he’s a lousy shot since all his victims are still alive, but he’s still putting the scare into people so they hardly want to go outside. At the same time we’re told about several rapes all over the country. Women are, as usual, defenseless victims without any sort of self-reliance and need to count on the mighty police for protection.

As the solution to both of these problems is obvious – allow self-defense! – I cannot help finding the whole thing really funny. I am not saying all rapes or all cycling fiendish “man-like” fanatic racist homophobic Muslim-hating Nazi right-wing maniac shooter between 20-40 years (with a margin of error of some years) would go away if people were allowed to defend themselves, but if I were a rapists or a fiendish “man-like” fanatic racist homophobic Muslim-hating Nazi right-wing maniac shooter between 20-40 years (with a margin of error of some years) I would certainly think twice before attacking someone if I knew people are armed.

And finally, saving the best for last, U.S. Secretary of State, Mrs. Cunt’on, have announced a $2bn aid package to be send to Pakistan. This on top of the more than $1bn of aid a year since 2005; last fiscal year, U.S. gave nearly $2bn. This sounds kind of “good” doesn’t it? Maybe you’re thinking they want to help Pakistan with the hundreds of thousands of fleeing refugees getting hunted down by U.S. drones, or maybe you’re wondering how much of this help will go to the starving and hurting from the flooding catastrophe, or maybe it’s a way to repay the damages done by military strikes into Pakistani territory, or maybe it’s just a gesture of good will.

Nope.

All that money and what the media is calling “aid” is going to the Pakistani Military.

Isn’t that great!?

Here we have a completely broke America running enormous deficits and running head first into a giant depression, but they still manage to conjure up billions to be send to the army of what needs to be considered a dictatorship while the people of said country is suffering immensely. Now that’s funny!

People don’t want to be saved; they want misery, disasters and wars. Look around you, the evidence is compelling. How many live on the edge of volcanoes and act surprised when lava flows into their living room? How often do we hear about a fisherman going out to sea when a hurricane is about to hit? People live in wooden houses without storm cellars in the path of tornado clouds; others go swimming in shark infested waters and cannot believe they’ve lost an arm. Every year people whooshes of the road because they get astonished that it snows above the pool circle.

And, maybe funniest of all, where do people turn when they need to be rescued? To the very entity that is largely responsible for most of the hurting – to government. In order to be saved from wars and starvation they turn to the creature that is the only thing capable of starting wars and the entity that is almost single-handedly responsible for every famine catastrophe throughout history.

If you don’t find this amusing then there is something wrong with you.

Horror In The News: Police find body in passenger seat of a car that had been there for 10 months!

Check out this story from RAQUEL MARIA DILLON, Associated Press Writer, that I found on Yahoo News! This is crazy!

COSTA MESA, Calif. – Medical examiners have identified a mummified corpse that was left in a car's passenger seat for 10 months in Southern California, a police spokesman said Friday.
Authorities had said earlier it could take weeks to identify the homeless woman, but the Orange County coroner's office was able to rehydrate the desiccated body's fingertips to obtain a usable fingerprint, said Costa Mesa police Detective Sgt. Paul Beckman. The office will not release the name until next-of-kin are notified, he said.
The woman's remains, discovered Monday in a car parked illegally in Costa Mesa, are little more than skin and bones and weigh 30 pounds, said police Sgt. Ed Everett.
The car's driver befriended the homeless woman in a park in nearby Fountain Valley and told her she could sleep in the car. When she found the woman dead in the passenger seat, she was afraid to tell police, Everett said.
The driver is a 57-year-old former real estate agent from Corona del Mar, an upscale beach community, who herself had fallen on hard times and was living with friends, he said.
Authorities have not determined if the driver, whose name has been withheld, will face any charges in the case.
An autopsy showed no signs of trauma. Toxicology reports could take six weeks or more, Everett said.
"We would obviously be looking at what laws deal with the transportation of bodies. Ultimately, this is still an undetermined death," Beckman said. "There's still a vast amount of investigation necessary."
The woman whose car she died in last saw her in December, but it wasn't immediately clear when she discovered the body, Everett said.
The driver had placed a box of baking soda in the car to mask the smell and covered the body with a blanket and some clothes, he said.
Officers found it Monday when they noticed a stench while responding to a call about an illegally parked vehicle.

GROSS! Can you believe a woman would drive around in a car with a dead body in the passenger seat right next to her. Unbelievable! There are some sick people in this world!

Check out the trailer for THE RITE, a new exorcism film starring Anthony Hopkins

While browsing Firstshowing.net lately, I ran across a post about Anthony Hopkins newest film, THE RITE. Here is the basic plot from the films official website:

Inspired by true events, follows a skeptical seminary student Michael (Colin O'Donoghue) who reluctantly attends an exorcism school at the Vatican. While there, he meets an unorthodox priest, Father Lucas, who introduces him to a darker side of his faith.

The film is scheduled for release January 2011, and from the looks of this trailer, I think we are all in for a treat. Anthony Hopkins has always been one of my favorite actors, so I am really looking forward to this one! Watch the trailer and let me know what you think!

Another crack in a declining empire

A grim picture of the US and Britain's legacy in Iraq has been revealed in a massive leak of American military documents that detail torture, summary executions and war crimes.

Among the things revealed the US military gave a secret order not to investigate torture by Iraqi authorities, that they deliberately withhold the actual number of civilians dead, and a couple of incidents of pure executions.

Sadly, nothing of this is a surprise. I’ve highlighted several of these things before, and so have others, but thanks to WikiLeaks we now have much more evidence and something to actually point to whenever someone says it cannot be so.

To a certain point war crimes and a limited amount of events can be “excused”. What I mean by that is that in war shit happens, and no matter how cautiously recruits are chosen, there will be one or two complete psychopaths picked. But what is shown by these documents is deliberate, planned and ignored “shit”. This isn’t some occasional idiot doing something against orders, no, it’s sanctioned and encouraged.

Please also remember that the reason for starting the war, invading Iraq and occupying its territory were extremely shady to start with.

One also has to add Afghanistan to this equation, as well as continuous drone attacks against fleeing civilians in Pakistan and many other fun things being done by this coalition of mass murderers.

America is not only losing the war in Afghanistan they are also losing credibility and support all across the world. And this they do at the same time as they are throwing trillions of dollars into a devouring war machine, running enormous deficits, crushing their communications with restrictions, imposing 1984-style internet laws and mad government schemes. US have an uneasy population back home and a looming depression at the horizon.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is how empires die!

Sorry, but I need to say this to you US citizens out there, you’re starting to deserve it. Your masters are really at fault, but you let it happen, you voted for them, and with millions of dead demanding justice and revenge ordinary folks will be and, to a certain extent, should be targets.

And this is, for me, probably the worst thing about the whole thing. US forces and the American establishment have alienated hundreds of millions of people that is now starting to look at Western democracy, ‘capitalism’ and consumerism ( none of which has anything to do with these crimes against humanity) as the very essence of evil. These people didn’t hate American freedom and way of life before, but they are certainly starting to do so now.

There have been so many scandals; so many crimes against humanity, war crimes and total disrespect of all things the U.S. should stand for that it will be almost impossible to rebuild any sort of good reputation again. Most Americans doesn’t seem to understand this. Partially because the American media fail to report and dig into the stories.

Once upon a time America was the dream, even for me. As the only country in the history of mankind that started with the premises of equality, justice and freedom many have looked at the U.S. as the shining beacon of hope. This is getting destroyed, and although the deterioration has been going on for a very long time we’ve certainly seen an escalation in the last decade.

The terrorist attack of 9/11 was a tragedy, and a cowardly assault on innocent people. Although there are some who argues that even that attack was deserved – I am not one of them – it wouldn’t be wrong to feel like that if another similar attack happens today, today it actually would be a justified one.

I’ll even go so far as to say that I almost root for so called “Muslim extremists” wanting revenge. This is a war, and the ones doing all the killing, all the torture, the rapes, and slaughtering the innocent is the U.S coalition. “It's only terrorism when the bad guys do it” doesn’t cut it anymore, enough is enough

Finally I want you all to go and check papers from across the world. Read what British, French and Swedish papers write about WikiLeaks (and the difference between them) and then go across the pond and check out American news. If you don’t see the difference you’re a moron. U.S. citizens are feed lies, but so are you. Journalists aren’t your friends, they are your enemies. Get that into your skull and take that into account every time you read, see or hear any sort of news from any sort of news-outlet.

The Dollar Bin Horror Blog recently spotlighted Shattered Mind Studios!!

For those of you that don't know, SHATTERED MIND STUDIOS is a film production company recently formed by contributing 4H writer, Scott Baker, and myself. I just found out that the Dollar Bin Horror Blog recently spotlighted SMS in a recent post! I had sent my friend Rhonny Reaper, who runs the Dollar Bin Horror blog, a link to our first short film and apparently she found it cool enough to let her readers know about it. For that, I am forever grateful!

CLICK HERE to read the post about Shattered Mind Studios over at the Dollar Bin Horror Blog. There you will find a link to our short film as well called, CALL NOT THE DEVIL. The movie is very amateur, as should be expected for our first film. What we are hoping is that people can see some potential in what we have done. We had no cast or crew and only a couple of cheap home video cameras. Scott and I did everything from camera operators to actors. This is a blueprint, so to speak, of what we could do with a budget, a crew, decent sound and film equipment, and actual actors!!

Thanks again to Rhonny Reaper at the Dollar Bin Horror Blog, one of THE best Horror blogs on the web!! Be sure to stop on over and wish the Dollar Bin Horror Blog Happy 1 year Birthday!!!

(10) Things I don’t hate about Dexter

As a long time hater of all things commercial and loather of all things politically correct, I rarely watch TV. In fact I haven’t own one of those idiot boxes in over 11 years. I do continuously watch a couple of shows, downloading them online free from commercials, but almost only to keep myself occupied during rainy days. Generally I only watch documentaries about science, history and our deteriorating economy.

But I have followed a few shows – like Buffy the Vampire slayer and the magnificent Firefly as two of the most shining exceptions. The last couple of years’ only one show is actually on my radar – Dexter.

This politically incorrect show features a mass murderer as the ‘hero’ and we get to follow him trying to avoid ending up in the electric chair while he hacks up other killers and throw their mutilated bodies into the Golf Stream, all the while he works for the police as a forensics investigator…

There are a lot of things about the show that tickles my interest, like the cursing over the top sister of the psychopathic ‘hero’ or the raw sense of humor that’s like a red thread throughout, but the main attraction is probably that it never stops changing. Main characters die frequently, and the problems for our lovable mass murderer is everything from changing diapers to how to best get rid of body parts.

Just as I assumed the show peaked last season with the magnificent John Lithgow playing the ‘Trinity Killer’, the writers and makers came up with an intrigue that involves the beautiful and captivating Julia Stiles. Hopefully a new adept of Dexter’s, maybe even a spin-off with a female serial killer in the service of “good”? But, as said, the show is very unpredictable and it wouldn’t surprise me if Lumen (Julia Stiles) dies from tripping on a children toy in the next episode.

The Music is great, and the supporting actors, although stealing a bit too much focus sometimes, are also on the top of their game.

As I hinted above there are a lot of things to do with a show like this. The writers really have a sack full of treats and things can really go anywhere. Will Dexter get caught and play the Hannibal to a new Clarice? Will CIA recruit him to catch Bin Laden? How will sister Deborah react once she finds out what her brother really does all those late nights? Will they follow the story of the books and let the kids learn the way of Harry?

Me, I really hope they rap up things with a sixth season, end at the top so to say, and then let the new serial killer and Dexter’s female equivalent of Julia Stiles go on a spree across America in her own spin-off. Maybe even have a cross-over with ‘Criminal Minds’? Yeah, I know - another network…

I suggest you take look at this show, if you haven’t already. With the exception for the occasional naked breast and one or two heads being decapitated, it’s really a family show that everyone can watch.


And no, I don’t get paid for this, but if any casting director for the show need a Swede to make meatballs out of his victims, please let me know…

Police Intellectuals

A crack team of profilers, a massive manhunt and lots and lots of police are all over the shootings in Malmö, Sweden. They’ve came together to solve the wave of seemingly related shootings targeting immigrants in the city.

After they'd investigate the evidence from the crime scenes, composed a profile and brought forth the entire brain trust of Sweden’s justice system they have come up with the following:

- The shooter is between 20-40 year old and in all likelihood a man.
- It is likely that since immigrants been targeted that this guy hates immigrants or belongs to a right-wing group.

Wow… that’s just fantastic work isn’t it? A couple of eye witnesses have pointed out that it’s a man and that 20-40 year span is just breathtaking, probably with a slight margin of error. And the smartness of figuring out that the shooter probably doesn’t like immigrants when only those have been shot is like… Sherlock stuff.

I mean, really, is this what we pay taxes for?

Just after I’d blog posted yesterday, another two women got shot through a window in the center of Malmo. Probably by the same “man-like” fanatic racist homophobic Muslim-hating Nazi right-wing maniac shooter between 20-40 years that our brilliant investigating whizzes are looking for.

Apparently people are getting afraid to go out, I have a solution for all you out there - get a gun! If someone starts shooting at ya, shot back. And if (a very big ‘if’) the geniuses within the police actually manage to find you and want to lock you up for defending yourself, you still have that gun left…

MUST WATCH!! Greg Nicotero's short film, UNITED MONSTER TALENT AGENCY

Greg Nicotero, the "N" of KNB FX (the greatest special effects company) has recently directed a short film titled, UNITED MONSTER TALENT AGENCY. The video was released on AMC's website. Mr. Nicotero is the Special FX Make-Up Designer for the upcoming series, THE WALKING DEAD, which premeires Halloween night on AMC.

The concept for UMTA is simple, and is a fresh idea on some familiar monsters to us all. The idea is that the classic Universal monsters such as The Wolfman, The Mummy, Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Gill-man are actually real monsters that were used in the filming of their movies. UMTA represents the monsters and keeps them under control while they are not being filmed. This is a very funny short that features all your favorite old monsters. Genre vets Eli Roth, Robert Rodriguez and THE WALKING DEAD's Frank Darabont all make special guest appearances! This is a must watch!

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Well, it happened again.

For a country were guns are totally banned and any form of carry-on weaponry can lead to prison time, Sweden certainly have a lot of shootings.

Isn’t it strange that criminals seem to ignore anti-gun laws?

Very puzzling it is.

While the police, magnificently ineffective as always, tries to find the, according to journalists; fanatic racist homophobic Muslim-hating Nazi right-wing maniac shooter that seem to roam the streets of Malmö, a 16y old got to look down the barrel of a gun in the same city. Probably unrelated to the fanatic racist homophobic Muslim-hating Nazi right-wing maniac shootings, but who knows. The 16y old is still alive and safe by the way.

In Kalmar, also in Southern Sweden, a man who claimed he was wearing a bomb were encircled by police and later surrendered. The guy didn’t really have a bomb, and I was kind of puzzled by that little intermezzo too for a while. I mean, it is illegal to run around town with a bomb isn’t it? So why did the police encircle him? Seem strange to me. If it is illegal, everyone obeys, so in actuality the police didn’t need to be there. In fact, do we actually need the police? At all?

Maybe we need them for stuff like this ?

Now that’s taxpayer money hard at work.

Again, I need to ask, when (not ‘IF’) the next spree occurs, would you rather have people unarmed, unprotected and let the police stop by later to collect body parts or do you want people to be able to defend themselves?

This is what it comes down to you know.

We all know what the soul-suckers of Government will say; they don’t want people to defend themselves. Cannot have self-reliant humans without fear being able to shot back at criminals out there, wouldn’t be in the best interest of the elitists now would it?

This is the difference between armed, and not armed. Please watch.



And if you ever wondered why government don’t won’t you armed, listen to her last sentence.

DVD Review: HARD REVENGE MILLY / HARD REVENGE MILLY: BLOODY BATTLE [Double Feature]

------Review by contributing writer Scott Baker------

HARD REVENGE MILLY/ HARD REVENGE MILLY: BLOODY BATTLE (double feature)
Directed by Takanori Tsujimoto

Courtesy of Well Go USA, Inc.
Released: 2008 / 2009

Let me summarize my review of this double feature with a single sentence: these are two of the best Japanese action films I’ve seen in a long time.

I know that’s a bold statement to make, but I mean it whole-heartedly. Both films are amazing in every aspect. They grab you violently by the throat from the very beginning and don’t let go for well over an hour. I loved every minute of them.

Here is an overall plot summary of both films, from the back of the DVD:

HARD REVENGE MILLY

In post-apocalyptic Japan, Yokohama City has become an epicenter of violence ruled by a vicious gang. The worst of the new breed of criminals are “The Jack Brothers”. When The Jack Brothers viciously murder Milly’s husband and daughter, leaving her to die, she vows revenge. She learns the art of sword combat from a master swordsman named Jubei and eventually sets off to confront The Jack Brothers and fulfill her destiny.

HARD REVENGE MILLY: BLOODY BATTLE

After Milly eliminates The Jack Brothers to avenge her family, a beautiful girl named Haru approaches her for help avenging her own boyfriend. Milly initially brushes her off, but eventually recognizes her passion for vengeance and agrees to train her. Soon, an intense admirer of Jack’s named Ikki and his brother Hyuma arrive to take them on. Milly makes short work of their minions and neutralizes Hyuma, but the cyborg-armed Ikki manages to injure her severely. Will she be able to survive and help Haru exact revenge?

Although the plot has enough material to create an 8-hour mini-series, the films are surprisingly short. The first film clocks in at around 40 minutes, while the second runs a little longer, around an hour and 15 minutes or so. But while their combined length is about that of a standard Hollywood movie, the short lengths of time for each film are perfect. There’s no long, drawn out scenes that shouldn’t be there, but there’s nothing omitted from the storyline, either.

Visually, the films are shot very well. I love the cinematography in both films, especially in the fight scenes. While some of them are room-encompassing far away shots, many of the camera angles are turbulent, shaky shots that put your right in the middle of the action. And for those scenes with no fighting, the stark imagery that is used gives a surreal aspect to almost every shot, giving each an almost Kubrick-like feel.

And speaking of the fight scenes, there’s enough blood and gore in each battle to placate even the most die-hard of horror fans. Even the simplest of flesh-wounds bring forth a crimson fountain. Before long, the floor is so coated in blood and gore that some of the characters have a hard time keeping their footing! It’s truly awesome to watch.

Both films boast excellent casts as well, with actress Miki Mizuno portraying the titular character in each. Mizuno is superb as Milly, giving depth and emotion to a character that would stereotypically be viewed as cold and lifeless. I believe these movies could have floundered in obscurity as low-budget failures if the wrong woman had been cast as Milly. Thankfully, the casting team struck gold with Mizuno.

If I were forced to find a flaw with either movie, I don’t think I could. These films know exactly what they are and they don’t try to be anything but entertaining. And entertaining they certainly are! If you like martial-arts action and can stomach some serious bloodletting, then definitely give these two a go.

A country without guns

As we all know criminals always obey the law, that’s why they are criminals, right? So whenever our righteous masters believe it is in our best interest that self-defense is outlawed and no-one is allowed to put safeguards in place because - and this is the funny part – government will protect us, we can be absolutely sure we’ll be safe. Right?

Okay, so what is wrong with this picture?

Map over Shootings in Malmö, Southern Sweden.

And mind you, this is one city, and only this year.

Of course some will argue that this is because the city of Malmö is by large a haven for immigrants and so for gun-toting Muslims, militant mafias and biker gangs. Although not completely wrong, that is a very simplified picture seen more from xenophobic eyes than reality.

Others may argue that the Social Democrats governing the city have capitulated and their socialists’ ways have brought forth the worst in people. Even if I would like to believe that to be true, it’s not really so.

I’ve also seen so called ‘experts’ argue that the closeness to the continent via Copenhagen and a rapid expansion of the population are key elements in the escalating violence. If that was true one can only assume that cities like Hamburg and Amsterdam are war zones and that whenever people fuck too much or move in larger numbers mayhem ensues.
You don’t really need a degree in asylum-awareness to dismiss such a claim.

The truth is that all of these are a part of the ‘why’, but there is also two other reasons that should be acknowledged.

Firstly we have a situation in Sweden whereas people in general are losing confidence in the law and the justice system. For most of the time this isn’t visible so it won’t show up in statistics, and I can hardly prove it other than to point out that every person living in Sweden continually, and consciously, break the law on a daily basis.

Think about it for a moment.

Do you really drive within the limit? Do you always have your seatbelt on? Do you always apply for permits when doing alterations to your house? Do you really care that downloading music and movies is punishable? And how many have smoked a joint, bought smuggled beer or put a jug of moonshine on the table lately? Do you always file correct tax information? Ever walked against a red light?

The laws are so many, and so intrusive that we need each lawyer to have their own, small, petite, minuscule area of the law as their expertise. No-one knows exactly how many laws and regulations there are for everything around us, and when you start to think about it it’s worse than picturing all the billions of galaxies in the universe filled with trillions upon trillions of stars and planets. So why care about every single detail?

Do a little experiment a normal day and try to see how many laws you break. The result will probably shock you, and that’s only for the laws and rules you can or may know.

As if that isn’t enough we’re on a weekly basis reminded that the law only applies for the common man. When banksters waste billions on scams they get a pat on the back and get their pockets re-filled via the treasury, but God help a normal citizen if his tax-return contains a small error. And how many times haven’t we seen, heard or read about politicians’ frequent visits to porn clubs or how they put lavish dinner parties on the taxpayers tab?

This combination has over time deteriorated peoples respect for law and order. And rightfully so.

Also there are many laws that are highly moronic, seemingly only there to create criminals and not to protect anyone. The limitation on bringing in alcohol from abroad is one such law, the illegality of Marijuana another. Not to mention all the crap that pours in from EU each year.

Secondly we are not allowed to protect ourselves. Well okay, there are certain things we are allowed to, like defend ourselves when attacked, within reason that is – cannot hurt the attacker too much… But in general we’re pretty much defenseless and the only thing we can rely on is the police - an under-staffed bunch of bullies that, like the rest of us, have no clue what law really says, and can almost ONLY arrived at the scene after the fact.

Getting raped and manage to phone it in? Well, just wait for 15min and two officers will arrive and take your statement. If you’re alive that is. And if you are getting raped and fight back, please be gentle to the poor rapists, if you bruise him too much you can get sued or locked up, maybe even get jail time far longer than that of any rapist.

A women getting raped should have the absolute right to cut off the penis of her attacker, a family facing a home inversion should have the absolute right to take a machete and hack the thugs into little pieces, a shop keeper getting robbed should have the absolute right to pull out a shotgun and blow away the head of the robber. This isn’t so, only government has the right to protect you.

So when ordinary folks aren’t allowed to own and carry guns, no-one else will either. Right? After all when government has outlawed something even criminals listens. Right? At least that’s the premise we live by.

How strange that it doesn’t seem to work…

Black Monday followed by a horrible rest of the year?

Yesterday was a cut off hand still wiggling on the ground while blood spurted all over the place. It was yet another black day on humanities road towards the chasm of absolute darkness.

As usual it was the market manipulations that made the day hilarious to say the least.

We got news that foreigners continue to acquire U.S. Treasury securities despite their low yields, and despite the obvious frauds. Foreigners need to consider both the additional exchange rate risk and the lower expected return, making it very irrational for non-Americans to invest in U.S. treasury securities.

Makes you wonder who the buyer really is, doesn’t it? Oh, it couldn’t be any of the foreign banks that got some hundreds of billions in dollars from the FED (and others) bail-out, right? And it is not other failing governments propping up the dollar and the market. Certainly not…

But the fun was really up and running when we were told that:

“NYSE Euronext cancelled all trades in the $74.8 billion SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust that occurred at almost 10 percent below the security’s opening price, according to an email sent by the exchange."

This is the same as to say that the market crashed but they halted it by simply refusing people to trade… Or, in layman terms, FUCK YOU! WE CONTROL THE MARKET!

And China decided to, again, cut export quotas for rare earth metals next year by up to 30 percent. China, which accounts for more than 90 percent of the world's total production of rare earth, has cut its export quotas this year by 40 percent from 2009 levels. You may not look at this as something that is that bad, but consider that these rare earth elements are used in crucial new green technologies such as hybrid cars and wind turbines as well as in mobile phones and missile guidance systems, and consider that China provides almost all of that to the rest of the world, and maybe you understand.

China is of course saying they need to save their supply so they won’t run out, but it’s really another protectionist action which will have more impact than the obviousness of much higher prices on several key products within our modern economy.

Meanwhile in several areas of Africa the countdown towards a massive famine catastrophe continues, hardly even noticed in the rest of the world. Niger, Chad, Mali Mauritania, and many other countries and areas are filled with hundreds of thousands of children who are severely malnourished; and people’s most precious asset, their livestock, has died in large numbers. The autumn harvest doesn’t seem to have filled up the necessary quota and we’re only half a step from those tens of millions dead I was talking about 2 years ago.

So if I’m right about the next financial crash being just around the corner, we’ll be looking at so many heaps of dead in Africa I suspect cannibalism will be the next big thing. Probably something for the banking cartels to consider trading in - very easy to manipulate the livelihood of gnawing on human flesh. Me, I am looking forward to seeing newly acquired inner thighs from a 7y old who died from malnourishment on the shelves.

Zombieland indeed.

Anyway, I could go on, but I’ll finish off with some side-splitting news from Sweden where the government isn’t too happy with the current low death-toll among our under-equipped soldiers. Apparently the Swedish forces in Afghanistan will embark on a southward move to more unsecure locations. This conflict that has nothing to do with Sweden on the other side of the world with “enemies” that has never, not even once, done anything against us, is about to take a more bloody color.

And it appears that many of my countrymen love this so much that each coffin landing back home is a reason to sign up to join the slaughter. Applications to go abroad to help out with the murder of Muslims is souring.

Do I even need to argue the case of the “everyone on this planet is an idiot” theorem anymore?

Finally we were told that government own enterprises in Sweden that were supposed to be sold off, will haft to wait. What I thought would at least buy a small respite for my birth-nation when the real financial mayhem starts, will likely not happen any time soon which brings me back to the ‘we are all fucked’ scenario.

On a high-note I’ll be happy to inform that my stock-pile of suger is sufficient. Still looking for other basic goods, such as guns, a shortwave radio, and information about how to best kill zombies, but at least some preparations are on the way. Can you say the same?

DVD Review: HOT BLOOD SUNDAE (2008)

HOT BLOOD SUNDAE was originally titled, ICE CREAM: THE REMIX for some absurd reason. HOT BLOOD SUNDAE is a much cooler, wittier title.....unfortunately, the witty title is also the best part of this movie. Here is the plot from imdb.com:

"ICE SCREAM, the ReMix" is a horror/comedy, about the perverted ice cream shop owner, Ricky, who boost-declining sales by renaming his shop to "Scoopettes", and markets it as an adult ice cream store. This sleepy town's ice scream store has started serving a little more than just your typical flavors, dishing out gobs of Virgin Vanilla and Busty Buttercrunch, but wait - what's that? Eeeeek! There's an eyeball staring up from the Cherry Vanilla! The five girls, whom Ricky calls "The Scoopettes", are so hot the ice cream will never stay hard! But everyone leaves with a smile and much, much more! It becomes apparent that someone doesn't like the success that Ricky is experiencing when one of the Scoopettes is found murdered in the freezer. The killing of the girls continues one at a time and the customers find a little extra in their ice scream! Remember! I Scream, You Scream, We all scream for - ICE SCREAM!

This movie is full of blood and boobs, so it amazes me how boring of a film this actually was. The gore scenes were good, but there was too much filler in between each scene. The rest of the film is just bad dialog and crummy acting. Actor Ryan Click (as Wesley) gives the most over acted, annoying performance you are likely to ever see in a film, so that gets the movie started off on a bad note. He literally ruins every scene he is in. Ryan might be a good actor, but the character he was playing in this film was just awful. Another awful character is Ricky, played by veteran Soap Opera actor Richard Van Vleet. His character isn't quite as annoying as Wesley, but runs a close second. Even just the overall look of the film is bad, with many scenes grainy and fuzzy for a DVD film. It reminded me of watching a VHS tape....and a bad one at that.

The film stars a group of gorgeous ladies, so the umm....scenery is nice, but that is about all you will get from this film. Save your time and do a Google image search of stars Bobbi Billard and Akira Lane and you can see the two (well....four) best parts of this film. True Horror fans will want to steer clear of this one.

How they indoctrinate you

Here’s another angle about the pointless deaths of Swedish soldiers you should know about.

Have you noticed the headlines and how journalists are writing about the Afghan war? How many words like “blood”, “raped”, “murdered families”, and “suffering children” have you read lately? How many articles have you seen pointing out that women are hurting more today than 9 years ago? How many news reports have you seen about the exponential increase in drug trade? How many pictures, videos and articles have you seen about blown-up children or beheaded families?

Not many eh?

Okay, so now think about what they try to tell you about this dead soldier.

It’s clearly a “tragedy”, the feeling among the other soldiers is “sadness”, and politicians are feeling ”sympathy” and “sorrow” for the soldier’s family. Very soft and comforting words. These are mixed with statistics on how the horrible Taliban have stepped up their attacks seemingly killing the innocent and, of course, murdering brave Swedish soldiers fighting for freedom and puppies everywhere.

This is brainwashing, nothing else, nothing less.

To a point it is also understandable brainwashing. From our masters point of view they need us to be complacent with how things are. From a military standpoint they of course need both public support and motivated soldiers. Journalists cannot really write that Swedish soldiers are helping with the slaughter of tens of thousands for no reason whatsoever. Wouldn’t sound that good now would it? And ordinary citizens partly have an inherited defense mechanism telling them that ‘the others’ are always the bad folk, and partly they feel more for a young Swede killed than hundreds of Muslim families butchered.

So it is slightly understandable, but nevertheless frightening. Well, kind of humorous to.

Ever heard people around you questioning how so many Germans could stand idly by when trains went to holocaust camps? Or why so many, almost voluntary, let Soviet death squads execute them? Well now you know why. You would have done the same. All of you out there who are buying the crap they are feeding us and swallowing the brainwashing, you are exactly the same sorts of people that would have stood idly by when Jews were thrown into camps.

Most of you reading this will of course dismiss my writing - you’ll feel you’ve been Godwin-ed. Also a perfectly understandable reaction. But if you feel it necessary for young Swedish soldiers to fight in a conflict that has nothing whatsoever to do with Sweden, against a supposed enemy that has done nothing to us, half across the world where there’s absolutely nothing for us to gain, what would you call it? Insanity perhaps? Maybe you just want lots, and lots of dead Muslims?

And if we really are there to help, why are women suffering more today than 9 years ago? Why do we protect a regime who wants rape to be legal? Why are we letting drug kingpins in Afghanistan grow stronger for each day that passes? Why are we watching house after house getting destroyed while handing out food rations that hardly would feed a rat?

I find this pretty hilarious actually. We’ve learned nothing from history, and when Sweden for the first time in 200 years is involved in a war, we do so with reasons far shadier than any war before.

Fun, fun, fun…

When did pointless dying become a good thing?

Cannon fodder posing.

A Swedish soldier was killed in Afghanistan on Saturday, he wasn’t the first, and he won’t be the last.

To me a dead soldier isn’t really the worst thing. His grieving family may make me sad, and since he died for useless cause in a country we have no business being in, I do get a tad upset. However neither of those things are what I feel is the worst about this fiasco.

The worst thing is that so many within the general public feel it is a good thing for Swedish soldiers to fight and die in a war across the globe in a country and against a people that has done absolutely nothing to us. No Taliban has ever attacked Sweden, or hardly anyone else for that matter. Yes, sure they are a horrible women hating bunch, but the puppets now ruling the country isn’t much better. And as mentioned many times before, if all we need is a women hating regime with another religion in a far away country for us to send soldiers to, our supplies of manpower would dwindle very fast. If that’s the criteria there are more countries on the planet to send soldiers to than the opposite.

IF we’d been attacked, if we really were in a defensive war I would get behind the Swedish military 100%, hell I would probably apply to join and put myself in danger to protect my family and friends. This isn’t the case here; we are involved in a conflict we have absolutely nothing to do with. There’s no reason for us to be there, no argument valid and no enemy to fight.

These soldiers coming home in coffins are not dying honorable deaths or getting blown up for good cause, they are not defending Sweden or their own families. They are meaninglessly dying for absolutely no reason at all, in a conflict we have absolutely nothing to do with, in a country far, far away that has done nothing against us.

And seemingly many Swedes think this is great. Looking at polls in papers and looking at how absent reactions are, a majority or close to it think we should stay in Afghanistan and that we are doing a great job. Why? Why the hell do they think that? What can possibly be gain from this?

Sweden has been involved in many wars before in history, but most of those I sort of get. We wanted to expand our empire, gain a foothold across the Baltic or stop Russia, Poland or Denmark from gaining influence and threaten our shores. Our kings wanted glory, and our generals wanted to get rich. Those reasons are shady and very questionable, but I still sort of get it, and it was another time when that way of life was acceptable.

But this? In Afghanistan? Why? We’re not getting anything out of this except gaining enemies. There are no riches, glory or land to gain. They say we are there to help people. How? By handing Afghans candy and coke cans while British and American warplanes destroy their cities? They say we are there to protect women. How? By supporting the current puppet regime that is corrupt beyond compare and wants it to be legal to rape women? And, again, if those are the reasons there are a hundred more countries to send soldiers to.

The entire thing is absurd, despicable and totally unnecessary.

Is this what the Swedish people want?

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. People think that restrictive drug policies that murders thousands each year is a good thing, people believe that sky-high taxation and fascist regulations are great, so why wouldn’t they applaud when young men are pointlessly dying? Seem to fit the profile. Murder is good, black is white, and war is peace.
