Tron : Legacy Review ( spoiler free )




The Long awaited sequal To the original Tron (1982) Movie is finally here with the amazing Jeff Bridges reprising his role as Kevin Flynn the famous video game designer that got to live inside the program that he created and fight the injustice in that program.


does the sequel live up to the hype or does it destroy its own legacy ?


The story in Tron : Legacy focuses on the life of Kevin Flynn's son Sam and his quest to find his father and get back his dads old company back to its old form im trying to keep it as simple as possible without spoiling any of the major events with that said lets start with the good .


THE GOOD :

- Its the old Tron  times 3 its bigger, better, faster, and stronger, they took the simple idea of the previous one and did a botox injection with a facelift and it worked brilliantly .

- Daft punk did the soundtrack for this movie and they did an amazing job, the fight scenes makes you feel you are in a Daft Punk Concert and thats always a good thing .

- Jeff Bridges still stuns me with his performances he proved it in Iron Man and he did it again here, he can pull off a blockbuster action movie and keeps its alive on his own .


- The Visuals are something out of this world they are simply stunning, and most people will give this movie a 10 just because of that light show .

- They kept it close to the Tron roots which might not work in a 2010 movie release but it did , the ship, the tanks and the way the programs die its all from the 1982 original but so much better.



THE BAD :


- The characters are pretty weak, none are good except for some characters like "Zues" and Jeff Bridges " Kevin " beside that all of the character fall flat without proper emotions or on-screen charm.

- The 3D gimmick have plagued the movie industry and Tron : Legacy is not exempt, it tries not push the 3D with stupid fight scenes or explosions and keep it natural with that they didn't utilize 3D to the fullest and they should have stuck to IMAX, although near the end of the movie it gets better but too little to late .

- They tried to keep it as a mental war between two major characters but their build up falls after a couple of scenes for the sake of action .

- Some action sequences are very rushed and pushed to serve a climax or to keep you on edge and with that it loses its natural flow.



OVERALL :

If i didnt know better i'd say that Tron : Legacy is a Micheal Bay movie its too flashy with alot of bright lights with a thin plot, but thankfully it have thicker plot than Bay's work and it almost matches the fancy CGI, sadly the casting wasn't done properly for Sam Flynn's Character ( reminds me a lot of the Anakin Skywalker casting in Star Wars ) but Jeff Bridges and the amazing easter eggs in this movie really save it and plants a smile on the original Tron fans.


Its really enjoyable movie to watch, if you are an old Tron fan your home just got bigger and now its a mansion, and if you are new to the series welcome to the Playboy mansion of eye candy visual and Olivia Wilde.


SCORE : 7.5/10

The How To Guide for Surviving A Zombie Apocalypse




Zombies are invading !!!! there's no denying that there's a zombie spike in mainstream media, its either movies or books so i'll go with the flow and write a post on zombies, but not any post !

in this post we will give your crucial tips and guide on how to survive if the dead roamed the earth, what will you do ! how will you respond to the situation ?




Dye Your Hair 

zombies arent picky eaters, they will eat everything that lay in their ways from house pets to fat greasy humans, but they are in a short supply of brains, once the the plague hits and claims more and more of the human populations they will suffer a shortage in brains , so what can you do then ?




Dye your hair blonde, we all know that blondes dont have a single hint of an intellect hence a defective braincells or a missing brain all together proven to us by Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, so count on the fact that humans ( now turned zombies ) wont touch you cause of the above mentioned names .



Dont Shower for Weeks

We all had something rotting in our rooms while we were growing up, that what zombies smells and more, being dead and cursed to roam the earth while you rot wont smell nice, and we as humans love to let ourselves go after a break-up or a desprate phase so why not the end of the world ?



Pictured Above : An Improving Chance Of Survival

 so the perfect solution is not showering for weeks so you can blend in and catch their scent,and even mingle with the hordes and check out the babes, they will put out without all that emotions and love crap, if your a grown up male its your time to shine .




Kill All Your Relatives

Love them or hate them you are stuck with your family so if you have a vendetta against someone here's your chance, you can explain yourself by saying it was an act of love or compassion to save them from the torment of being a brainless cold zombies .


its a win-win situation even if you tried to march through with them piggybacking on you they will eventually be bitten and turn into a zombie, if not they are going to consume all your ration and your chance of survival will drop, so basically become a World Of Warcraft player and live without any human communication .


Zombie Survival Training Camp



Take Care Of Your Group


If you broke the rule above dont worry we will help either ways, even if you are stubborn and didn't listen to guide and dont deserve to live, but its the end of the world so we will cut you some slack, lets say you can't live without your soulmate or parent and you want to be the hero, what can you do ?


Stick together to improve your chances of survival by chatting on current events and weather changes to waste some time, keep your family close to you and feed them well so that they can get fat and slow, and never split up unless you are using your partner as a bait so that you can escape.



That should keep them occupied for 15 mins




Dont Be Black If You Are Then Just Kill Yourself Already


im not being racist but all the zombie movies proved that black men and women never survive

Top Gear Season 15 Is Different !



Season 15 of the amazing British auto show started to air its 7th episode this week, sadly something is oddly missing, at first when you see the stage you might notice the missing " Stig " banners thats famously loomed in the background, its no longer there and with James May throwing some remarks on the " Stig ", and whole segment that shows the presenters shooting at a fake cardboard " Stig ", you feel something is off .


and sadly due to lawsuits between the BBC and the white "Stig " ( AKA Ben Collins ) the white stig have been written off the show and no longer part of the Top Gear Show and as of September 2010 the white stig cannot be featured in the show, if you are interested in the details of the lawsuit that the BBC lost you can read it here.


a new Stig will be presented with a new gimmick, but the old one was fun and entertaining even if he was a silent character but he had his iconic stature very suitable to the show, better than the Black Stig before him, that the BBC killed off and presented the White Stig instead.


now rumors are circling that the new sting will sport a white suit with black highlights, and im sure Clarkson had his hands on this suit and designed it as a joke or a taunt to previous Stigs.

Me And Bad Luck







Heey there dudes and dudettes, i want to apologize for the lack of posts in the past few days, i've been been dodging death all week, its either health issues that plagued me or the near fatal car incident so this week was well spent between  hospitals and police stations and neither of them is fun or even smell nice ( i still cant get over the smell of hospitals ) , so stay tuned cuz tomorrow this blog will be back to normal 




in the meantime here's something for u sent to us by one of our followers :



EDIT : sorry for the broken link it shows you how bad my luck is these days ;/

5 Things We Always Nag About But Can't Change

Its time to complete my trilogy of " 5 Things " series its started with 5 Things You Hate About Kuwaiti People  and continued to 5 Types Of Kuwaiti Bloggers this time though im going international and hopefully this trilogy ends better than Back to The Future 3 , We as human beings stretched all over this vast earth share this common , old , everlasting expression of " BITCHING"  as proven here in this blog numerous times , so here's a list of things we nag about it but cant change but we still bitch on nontheless :




The Weather


Everyday we roll out of bed dragging our feet from our comfy beds, out of our AC and heated little pieces of heaven into the Cold/Hot Slap from mother nature usually ruining our mood, making us grumpy and thats why we created the internet and LOLCATS .


By-Production Of bad weather conditons

So what do we do about this bad weather , we just get angry and curse it and vent it out on our helpless husband/wife, never knowing that we are part of it, and mother nature is venting out her PMSing anger on us .



this blog does not endorse global warming, we just think it will be one hell of a finale





The Government

We all live under the bless of a democratic goverment ( except Glenn Beck who still thinks he's in the middle ages and science is witchcraft ) but we all come across a bad choice or two from the goverment and all hell breaks loose , we turn into consipracy theorist and start bitching about our elected officials and curse the day we chose them and call them sell outs bent on ruining our lives.



Brain for Presedent

Bottomline we chose them , we have to shut up and put up and stop bitching its not their fault that they are good speakers its our fault for being stupid and ignorant .




Pictured Above : You



The Prices

Most of us deplete all of our salaries before the end of month and we struggle out for the rest of the days with frozen pizza's and dog food , then we realise that everything exepensive and our light bulb shines stating that we realized the secret of life , we must fight the prices spike !!



Good Luck !!!


but we fail to see that most essential commodities like sugar, milk, eggs, bread  and mountain dew are usually cheap, and our way of living lavishly is the downfall and proof that the " idiot human syndrome " does exist .




The Children These Days

Like most people around the world, we grow up and become more mature day by day, and each day passes kills a bit of what we came to, so we do the most effective thing to fight it, which is bitching till our eyes bleed, it can be movies, books, games, social interaction its all changing and we dont like it .



Children these days just like poodles you cant tell if they are males or females 


so what we do is slap the hell out of our kids and make them live like we lived, best case scenario : they will turn out normal with some bruises, worst case scenario : they will show up on a Girls Gone Wild video .



How It Was In Our Time !

Ahhh remember the good old days when fountains were filled with RC Cola, birds sang with Aretha Franklin's voice and everyone looked like Clark Gable? if you are scratching your head then thats the correct answer , cause there wasnt the good old days, its always bad we just make belief that its good to bitch on kids these days .




Back In The days thats how men looked like !

moral of the story is stop your bitching and live your life and work on shaping it to the best that you can , instead of swirling the drain of the old days and what you used to know, so suck it up and stop bitching (PARADOX FOUND* THIS SITE IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE)





*if you can name that paradox you win the write to post in this blog as long as its not nude, racist content, or insulting to a person .

Top 20 Greatest Sci-Fi Movies Of All Time

We are back again with our greatest top movies list , and this time we are back with a vengeance , we are here to bring to a list of 20 top sci-fi movies , and i was shocked when i was researching at the amount of amazing movies in this genre , but i can only put one movie per franchise so dont give me hell for not including your favorite movie

here goes our list to infinity and beyond :






 20- Equlibruim (2002)



in a apocalyptic world where art is considered a crime a police detective in charge of destroying art gets caught in a world of trouble for breaking the rule he always defended , this movie captures the spirit of a sci-fi movie but charge it with slight dash of emotion and whole lot of mind blowing action .



19- Moon (2009)





This is the second time we feature this movie , cause its so damn amazing you can check it out in our Amazing Movies You Never Heard Off !!  a story of a man stranded on the moon for 3 years living alone , losing him and making you lose yours . 
  


18- Twelve Monkeys  (1995)



The ultimate collaboration between two huge stars in the 90's ( Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt )  , this movie is about a time traveler who's trying to find the time period that started the end of the world and stop it , its a thrill ride filled with paradoxical situations.








17- Total Recall (1990)


Where do i begin with this one , its so complicated i dont think it can be described , there are mutants , amnesia , CIA , ancient pyramids , a young sharon stone working , its on mars and its starred by Arnold Schwarzenegger , enough said !!

and produced this amazing picture




16- Donnie Darko (2001)




 The story of a young boy coming of a age with a sinister twist of creature beyond this realm , till this day this movie freaks me out but its so amazingly put its hard to ignore this masterpiece of chaos and the amazing performace pulled by Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal .




15- Back To The Future (1985)
 


If you are a child of the 80's you have a smile on your face right now , we wanted to be marty mcfly and wanted to hurt biff , if your a 90's child i think you should see this movie or you will have a damaged brain / nostalgia and gushing 

Time Traveling cant be more fun than this with this amazing light humor and paranoid doc and how changing the past effect the future , and we got to say this 2.12 JIGGAWATS .




14- The Thing (1982)



John Carpenters finest work before he got lame and made (Ghosts of mars ), when your stuck in a harsh winter environment and  an outbreak hits the camp , who do u trust ? who's your real friend ? and who's be transformed into an evil alien creature , the suspense of it is so thrilling and the isolation plays its cords correctly .



13- V For Vendetta  (2006)



A Futuristic london ruled by an iron fisted goverment that bans arts and any form of self expression , similar to Equilibrium but this one is more drama infused and more memorable for its amazingly well written lines.



12- Children of men  (2006)



Imagine that the human race will end on your generation , pregnancies ceased to occur , and all the humans have faith in one kid , the youngest kid alive at the age of 18 , the movie features the journey of people through this corrupted world .




11- A Clockwork Orange  (1971)


The third movie for a futuristic London in our list , its Stanley Kubrick with this sick story of a young criminal running wild in London , killing and raping till he got arrested and faced with a government experiments in jail.



10- 2001 A Space Odyssey (1968)


Another Stanley Kubrick masterpiece this time located in deep space with amazing scenery with the first 20 minutes of the movie simply jaw dropping , and the amazing pacing that shows the evolution of man and the next step for humankind .



9- District 9 (2009)


An alien ship crash landed on africa near the old slums, what makes this movie standout is how it treated racism and hate in a subtle way and made it accessible to everyone to feel the pain and desperation of the alien who are stuck here and not visiting by choice .


8- Alien (1979)


A cargo ship traveling through space got a distress call from an uncharted planet , their company insisted they investigate and when they got back to the ship they brought something with them , Ridley Scott really took the claustrophobia and isolation to another level in this movie, and created a staple in the genre . 



7-  WALL - E (2008)


Life on earth is destroyed and all humans left earth for a better pasture , the only one left is a compacting robot named WALL-E , this movie is so easy to watch and love , and its amazingly put with a nice sense or isolation , amazing robot facial expressions and a good moral at the end , all happening in a colorful and humorous way for the whole family .



6-  Eternal Sunshine Of Spotless Mind (2004 ) 



Jim Carrey stars in his biggest non comedic role , and pulls it off so perfectly , the story about a broken man trying to forget his previous love and erase her from memories just so that he can resume his normal life , but can you erase your love ?



5- Akira (1988)



 This original masterpiece was released 1988 with technology that reached the mid 90's in animation , its astonishing how well made it is , its development is a sci-fi movie of itself , the story is dark and sinister and filled with gore. with a menacing project threatening neo-tokyo with crime and corruption running wild .



4- Terminator 2 : Judgment Day (1991)



The sequel that changed the franchise and pushed into new limits , this story of a time traveling machine sent back to protect a kid that will grow up and lead the human forces into a fight against the rising machines , arnold fits this part amazingly with his expressionless face and funny humor , i didnt know that the machine made their terminators in Austria .



3- Star Wars V : The Empire Strikes Back (1980)



It improved the formula of the first Star Wars and made Darth Vader the lead villian and the banter between the princess and Han Solo gets more heart warming with every line , this is the pinnacle of the Star Wars universe , and nothing come close to it. ( except A New Hope )


2- The Matrix (1999)


Imagine A World within a world and you  are merely a puppet controlled in every aspect in your life , from birth till death , this movie combined all the requirements of a sci-fi movie and perfected them , every second of this movie is vital to the plot and each scene is surprisingly perfect .



1- Blade Runner (1982) / Inception (2010)




This Is Odd but i really couldn't choose between them , i had to watch them both back to back and they are in the same level of perfection , the story of a Blade Runner ( sort of a detective ) who captures human replicas , or a story of a dream thief trying to juggle realities and dreams to reach for his children .


if you havent seen either of them i recommend you to watch both , and if you seen one im sure you will like the other , cause they reach for the sci-fi genre limits and expands universes from it .
