Instant Movie Review of The Fourth Kind Starring Milla Jovavich

November 04, 2009 By: edaroza Category: Entertainment

How hard have you thought about the existence of extraterrestrials. I would say for most of us the concept of creatures from outer space coming down to our little spinning globe and paying us a visit isn’t really what we think about over our morning coffee. I mean really what’s more important? UFOs, or why that girl from the vaycay to Miami last weekend just friended you on Facebook? And how come she has so many rad pictures? Anyways to the point. The Fourth Kind is new feature film that touches on the existence of aliens, and one particular little tendency they have known as “abduction.”

The Fourth Kind stars Milla Jovovich in a dramatization of a psychologist documenting her sessions with traumatized patients. What she believes she uncovers is a series of abductions by aliens. The story is based on real events.

In this Instant Movie Review presented by icPlaces, Brad and Steve offer their perspective of the film immediately after watching the flick.

Lessons From A Teenage Prodigy: Sebastian Toutant Committing

November 04, 2009 By: edaroza Category: Entertainment

Aside from natural talent, hard work, and dedication, what would you say is the biggest factor in achieving great success in the sport of snowboarding? Throwing darts at the board I’d say the bulls eye is overcoming fear. Fear keeps you from committing to your position. Once you don’t fully commit, you don’t do your best, and you fall short.

One youngster who has learned to overcome his fear years ahead of most of us is 16-year-old Canadian professional Sebastian Toutant. One minute into his segment here on Crushed you see a person who takes a fall and stands back up again with a smile on his face and tougher look in his eye. The kid – known to his friends as Toots – stacks at least ten times in his video. No matter how hard he falls he pulls the trick on another attempt.

Seb’s born with the natural talent to go big. But I guess the lesson learned from the mad teenager is commit to what you can achieve. No matter what it is. Make a smart decision and give it your all.

Daybreakers Release Date

October 29, 2009 By: mfrochtzweig Category: Entertainment

In an original take on the vampire film genre, the world’s population is almost all vampire. And there just isn’t enough human blood to go around.

So in the name of post-capitalism and postmodernism — no, not really — it’s time to farm the humans and drain every last ounce of blood or humanity left in them. Wait, maybe Daybreakers actually is a treaty against the ravages of capitalism: a corporation of the undead takes the remaining humans and harvests them to feed its unquenchable thirst for blood.

OMFG! Well that was easy. Another movie figured out, wrapped up, and spit out. Next!

Daybreakers is a Lionsgate Films and, as they put it, it opens in a world where almost everyone is a vampire and no one grows old. Sam Neill plays Charles Bromley and succinctly lets us, and the world of vampire brethren, know that “Immortality is the miracle and we are blessed”.

The remaining humans are hunted and farmed for blood, and when when there isn’t a single drop of blood left — the end of the human race is at stake and the battle between immortality and humanity is on.

Daybreakers stars Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Claudia Karvan, Michael Dorman, and Sam Neill. Watch the Daybreakers trailer right here and prepare yourself for the Daybreakers release date on January 8, 2010.

Dave Rastovich and the Dolphin Slaughter of Taiji

October 27, 2009 By: edaroza Category: Sports

Their is a small cove in Taiji, Japan where the ocean water is dyed red from the blood of dolphins.

Each year approximately 2,000 dolphins are killed during the dolphin drive hunting practice which involves fisherman using boats and nets to circle pods of dolphins and drive them into the cove, where they are stabbed and drown and sold.

Not exactly uplifting but it’s an important issue that deserves full exposure.

Last year professional surfer Dave Rastovich and actress Hayden Panettiere led a team of conservationists into the cove to document and possibly rescue the dolphins during the hunt. They were unsuccessful in rescuing any dolphins, but they did film and document the secret fishing practices. The footage they recorded is now on PodSurf TV:

Michael Cera Looking for Love in “Youth in Revolt”

October 27, 2009 By: edaroza Category: Comedy, Entertainment

What wicked powers are held in the hands of a beautiful smart woman?

For one, she has the ability to make a young man question all that he is and all he wants to be.

Trivial stuff? Hardly. It’s the premise behind the coming-of-age love story “Youth in Revolt “. Michael Cera stars as Nick Twisp, a virgin who would rather not be, and Portia Doubleday stars as Sheeni, his ideal girl, his muse, his object of desire who owns him completely. Only one small problem – Sheeni “doesn’t like him in that way.”

In the quest to make Sheeni “like him in that way”, Nick concocts a plan, errr, an alter ego, to win over the heart, mind, and body of Sheeni. This alter ego, Francois, is suave. This alter ego is smooth. This alter ego has a mustache.

With the cool and casual Francois in control, all should end well, right?  Not exactly. In the quest to conquer Sheeni, Nick happens to burn down most of Berkeley, CA., run away to India, and shoot her dad. Not cool. Really,  those these are just footnotes in the story of love. What matters is, of course, the success of Nick and Francois in changing their sexual status?

Let’s hope so!

Of course, we’re not cruel enough to give away the story line. Find out yourself — cause it’s worth it — when the movie is released on January 8, 2010.

MetalliKittens – Cute Cats and Hard Knocks

October 20, 2009 By: edaroza Category: Comedy

Fists in the air — it’s time for MetalliKittens!

Yeah that’s right, heavy metal about cats. Cute, cuddly, purring little pussies. In actuality this metal madness is really touching on addiction. Addiction of an unlikely sort that all began like most dependencies, born in good fun that spiraled out of control.

It all started with that first search of “kitten videos” on YouTube. A harmless hunt for a few minutes of entertainment. But then it seemed a little wasn’t enough. It needed to be cuter. It needed to be funnier. Pretty soon nothing could ever satisfy the desire to get that original pleasure.

Kittens riding vacuums, kittens hanging out with pigs, kittens hanging out with monkeys, kittens on treadmills, kittens staring into the mirror, kittens – everywhere.

The cats became life. The subject all thoughts revolved around. Every conversation, every email, every IM – all about the cats. All you want to do.

Now if this scenario isn’t hard enough for for a heavy metal song — I don’t know what is. Yeah, it’s a pretty wussy addiction. One that I wouldn’t tell your friends about, but nonetheless it can drive you into the darkest corners of life. Here, proof is in the pudding:

Have a cat of your own to take care of use discount code Men10 at PetCo and receive 10% off your order. Yeah!

Goth Queen Barbara Steele Stars in Nightmare Castle

October 08, 2009 By: edaroza Category: Entertainment, Girls

Where has 1960s gothic cinema been all my life. Romance, horror, love, murder, betrayal and revenge! All the elements of classic gothic cinema are alive and present in this 1965 Italian film titled Nightmare Castle. The first lady of the gothic film, Barbara Steele, stars in dual roles of two sisters who marry the same cold-blooded count. One after another. The plot is as follows:

“A sadistic count tortures and murders his unfaithful wife and her lover, then removes their hearts from their bodies. Discovering that his wife drew up a new will giving her fortune to her institutionalized sister, the count marries her and the new wife experiences nightmares and hauntings. The ghosts of the slain return to exact their bloody revenge, until their hearts are destroyed.”

Who isn’t up for some bloody revenge? Steele, known as ‘the first goth’ for her legendary status as a gothic cinema star, performs a character very familiar to her in this film. Her reputation for playing either a cheating wife with a husband seeking revenge, or a cheating wife seeking revenge on her husband was well known. This sort of type-cast wore on her. Barbara once commented that she never wanted to “climb out of a f–king coffin again.” But even though she gained a loyal following for her goth films, she never had much success as an actress outside of the genre. Here is the Nightmare Castle trailer. Watch the entire movie on Classic Horror — all on MeVIO Men. The film even includes the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone.

Might be sort of a wildcard but if you’ve ever had the desire to start your own gothic blog or website, here is a Go Daddy code to purchase a .Com domain name for only $7.49. (And just a secret: It doesn’t have to be gothic. You can create any site to cover any subject under the sun.) The code is: Men7
