What's new?

So whats up people? I have been off here for a few days. Lot of moving and shaking going on. I have recently found a new job that I start later this month! Looking forward to it. Not going to lie, I was kinda hoping that my current employer would have tried to fight for me or counter offered something. I love the place I work at, sure there is a lot of work that needs to be done, but name a place that doesn't right. You never know, I am still here for a few more days, maybe the will realize they are going to be missing out... just saying.

So I think I put up that I have been working on a studio and music with my brother, if not, I am. I have a buddy from back home that is a crazy guitar player that has some stuff that he has sent me, so I am going to record some vocals for that stuff while me and my brother get our stuff up and running. There is another guy I know that is a pretty decent rapper, I think I have mentioned him on here before, he has showed an interest in doing some writing with me. I don't know however if there has been any mention on what I am into. I'm a... vocalist is guess. I normally do things like metal, hardcore, death and so on but I want to work on all kinds of things. I'm not a great singer, maybe not even a good one, but I want to do some hard rock, maybe an 80's ballad or acoustic tunes. I also have an interest in rapping, so who knows. As long as I get to do something like that it would be sweet.

Writing... as well I have recently started re-working a movie that I have been on and off again writing for the past couple months. Some other interest that have really started to peak my attention is writing a TV show and a comedy movie. I have some digging to do to find the ideas a couple buddies and I had a few years ago. The TV show... as crazy as it sounds, needs to have puppets. I have an unnatural obsession with the Muppet's. I was also a big fan of Greg The Bunny. Some people might know it... most prolly not. It's funny if you can check it out I suggest you do so. It bridged the gap between the PG Muppets and adult humor. Which I think is just a good time. Also check out Unhappily Ever After, pretty funny stuff. I want to go even further with it. Strictly adult humor with humans interacting with puppets. I am sure it's prolly been done, I don't care... lol.


-- So just to put it out there... If you are a band that wants to collaborate with a vocalist in the Calgary area ... if you want to make a TV show (or internet show) with puppets... LET ME KNOW... lol..

Movies - Review for the past couple weeks #4

Hey so I haven't been watching as much as normal, but check out these.. lot of good ones in my opinion:

Movies I have watched in the last little bit:
...........................................................
Inside – This is a French horror flick that got passed on to me. I watched it dubbed in English. This is by far one of the craziest movies I have seen in a long as time. This is a nonstop gore ride. I don’t want to get too into it in case some of you freaks want to watch it... lol. But this one had some parts that for myself were hard to watch. Very twisted... the story itself was pretty kool when all was revealed. Now I’m a gore guy, but I think this one is actually good enough to have stood without as much. I think that some of the story gets lost because of all the “mess” that takes place. If they had cut back just a little, you would have one hell of a movie. Check this one out if you dare... and only if you have a strong stomach.

...........................................................
Martyrs – I had seen this one on a lot of horror “best of” lists so I thought I would give it a try. I don’t get it. There was some kool parts in the beginning and in general the story is pretty decent. BUT, I wouldn’t call this a horror movie or a gore movie. It’s interesting, and I think some things are lost in translation (French dubbed movie), but in all it’s not one that I would put on any lists other than this one.

...........................................................
High Tension – This was another flick that is a French horror that I had passed along to me. This one was pretty good. I liked it. It had the right amount of gore and thrills to keep your heading running! There is one part that I really enjoyed... I will leave it to you to figure out.

...........................................................
Zodiac – I know this one is a few years old and a lot more main stream then I have had on my lists, but I really wanted to see it. Something about a serial killer that has never been caught that is intriguing. Just check this film out, read the wiki about the Zodiac killer. It’s all pretty crazy.

...........................................................
Shutter Island – I felt like I was on drugs with this one...lol. If you have seen it you know exactly what I am talking about. The changes, the twists and turns, really incredibly done; it all makes sense in the end... or does it? Scorsese is the freakin' amazing. Enough said.
