RIPPING HEADACHE EP

K- TOWN strikes again! If you know anything about K-Town and all the great hardcore and punk that has come out of there then this ep should make your penis tip moist or your labia quiver with anticipation. The hardcore from this region of the world had slowed down for awhile to make room for great punk bands such as No Hope For The Kids but this record brings da hardcore boi! It sounds like Amdi Petersen's Arme but faster and uglier and with all the instruments "ripping" much like the name implies. Throw in some La Piovra and some early 80's USHC from the midwest and you get a smidgen of an idea of the magnitude of just how much ball hair this record can singe. Cool cover art, its angry, and the instruments are played extremely well without ever being predictable. Yeah I know that the last review was a good one too but this came out last year and more people need to pick this up. *Warning* If you live in California do not engage in the joyous fisting presented on this cover, as it is now illegal and considered cruel and unusual punishment.

Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102293/

Guess what? It's another foreign film... eat a dick. The trailer does not fairly represent this film so here's one of many, many, fight scenes:

I'd only heard rumors and seen clips of this and just finally got around to watching it. Now, I watch a lot of pure unadulterated shitty splatterfest movies that leave me hatting my life for having wasted my time on them (you know, like how your parents feel about you). But this... This was different. This movie was everything it promised it would be. It was so fucking violent I couldn't believe it! There's basically no plot, but it's so full of ridiculous violence and random events that it holds its own. It's just as over the top as Evil Dead 2 or Dead Alive but it takes itself much more seriously, however the jokes it does have seem to get lost in translation. Nevertheless this movie really had it all; bad kung fu, over the top violence and scenes with no relevance whatsoever. This is a must see.
I usually avoid dubbed movies the way republicans avoid talking about their gay family members, however this movie dubbed was especially wonderful because they have like two dudes do the voices for everyone.

4/5 -so good

Martyrs

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1029234/

Sorry, no english trailer.

First off- this is not gonna be a foreign movie blog, there's just been a few choice films that required my immediate attention. This 2008 French film is by no means flawless. It had way, way too much stuff going on, and so many twists and turns that the viewer is left more disoriented than my racist grandpa at a quinceaƱera. HOWEVER, it is a fun-as-hell ride to say the least. This definitely has torture-porn elements, like in Hostel or the SAW movies, but it also has some really creative and original concepts in it. The violence is spastic, sudden, and unflinching, but it was the suspense that had me sitting on the tip of my taint with excitement. It's definitely unique, so I say give it a rent, it's the type of movie that you'll love or hate, but ether way it'll stick with you. Region 1 DVD comes to the USA on April 28, 2009.

Tokyo!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0976060/
I decided that it was about time to get my fat-ass off the couch and into a movie theater for some exercise. I had high expectations for "TOKYO!" even though it looked "hipster-up-your-ass"

I was stoked on this, but a little skeptical. I liked Gondry's "Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind", but hated "the Science of Sleep". I liked Joon-ho Bong's "The Host" which was a wacky good time, and I've heard that Leos Carax's "Pola X" pushes the level of decency for its graphic incestuous sex scenes. I went into the theater having heard positive reviews and with an open mind. Although all three stories had some cool and creative elements, none of them were really terrific. Here's my review of all three separate shorts, rapid fire

1. Gondry's short "Interior Design" (chair-leggs-bitch) was so fucking pretentious that I felt embarrassed for entering the theater with the other 7 people there. I'm sure the hipsters will love this one the most, claiming that I did not clearly understand the delicate subtleties of existentialism- no I got it. It was weak, and a waste of time. 2/5

2. Leos Carax's "Merde" (green-suit-sewer-man) I found more enjoyable, and had some really creative and original elements to it, as well as some impressively long takes. For sheer story and creativity- 3/5

3. Joon-ho Bong's "Shaking Tokyo" (fish-face-shut-in) was my favorite of the three. The characters seemed genuine, and had a great feel to it. My only complaint is that the ending was sudden and predictable- Just like Steve Irwin's death. 3/5

Overall- 3/5
Skip it/rent

Let The Right One In

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139797/

I was a little skeptical when I heard there was another friendship/romance vampire movie coming out, especially since "Twilight" caused hoards of teenieboppers to soil their panties, but I decided to to check it out anyway.

This movie rocked the shit. This little gem from Sweden (Based on the novel by the same name) was one of the best movies I've seen in a long while. It's a wonderful mix of the innocence of childhood, and the dealing of very adult issues. It also put a very human perspective on vampires, much like "Interview with a Vampire" and "Near Dark". This movie was original, creative, endearing, and would escalate to extreme violence without a moments hesitation -much like sex with my stepfather. Several characters are introduced with very little back story, however enough information is provided for the viewer to piece together a good guess about that character's background, which is a refreshing break from mindless Michael Bay garbage that gets pumped out every month. This is definitely a must see, it comes out on DVD and Blu-ray 3/10/09, don't miss it.

Hey gang- it turns out that the american dvd/blu-ray release's subtitle tracks differ a bit from the original release, and not for the better. Fans are demanding a re-release but I doubt its gonna happen, as it's not exactly financially viable. I have the blu-ray version and it's not a deal-breaker but it is annoying as hell. There's no major plot differences, but bits of dark humor and character development do get lost, I think the "dubbed" track is still original but I can't stand dubbed movies with the exception of kung fu. You can check out all the differences HERE. Thanks to Filmdrunk.com for the heads up.

A lot of links are down but i BELIEVE to the best of my knowledge that these have the correct subs. (xvid Eng hardcoded subs from a dvdsrc and i think these are also PS3 compatable) if someone could verify that would be great. Not my links.

MAGNET issued this statement: “We’ve been made aware that there are several fans that don’t like the version of the subtitles on the DVD/BR. We had an alternate translation that we went with. Obviously a lot of fans thought we should have stuck with the original theatrical version. We are listening to the fans feedback, and going forward we will be manufacturing the discs with the subtitles from the theatrical version.” No news for exchange program.
