If your a fan of Southern Riffs and punk like music, then Cancer Bats will be right up your alley. Cancer Bat's lasted album, Bears Mayors Scrapes and Bones is their heaviest and most intense.
The vocals do take some getting used to, as its mostly yelling, with some clean vocals here and there. But once your get into it, its awesome. The riffs and vocals mix together to make a interesting metal mix.
The music is great driving music, as its fast pace with simple riffs. There are also some great headbanging riffs in the album as well. Overall, if you like metal mixed with some punk southern style, then Cancer Bats will be up your alley.
If your looking for a album that mixes things up, then In This Moment's A Star Crossed Wasteland is your album. It has heavy songs that have some great screams and great riffs like The Gun Show and Blazin. But then it takes things a bit slower with some Piano Ballads with A Star-Crossed Wasteland and World in Flames.
It's a album that makes you want to punch walls, but then tugs at your heartstrings. Its a great album that was made to be listen to in one sitting. It combines clean and yelling vocals, but the female singer can pull off both very well.
If you like Melodic metal that hits hard but then lightens up, then In this Moment is for you. Cause its not all the time we want to yell and scream.
What is up with Hollywood these days and poor scripts. Anyway, you already know that Tron has some really good effects, and overall, the story is not to bad.
If you haven't see the 1982 Tron, then you may want to see it first just to compare the effects. For 1982, the Old Tron effects where quite good, but look hella cheesy today. But it makes for a good laugh.
Basiclly the story is that Sam's Dad gets stuck in the Tron virtual world because a clone he made, Clue, turned agonist him, and thus he got locked inside because the portal out open stills open for so long and can only be open from outside.
So years later, Sam discovers the Tron computer, and accidently teleports himself inside. From here, he must find his Dad, and find a way back out in time. The story doesn't really have any real twists from here. It's your classic movie story that wraps up with a happy ending.
The CGI is all pretty nice and cool, but there are no mind blowing effects. The only effect that really was pretty cool is when he gets teleported into Tron. Sometimes it was hard to tell what was going on because of the camera angel, but otherwise the camera work was good.
Overall, its a pretty entertaing movie, but I expected more. It gets Three Out Of Five Stars
It appears that Gamestop has allow preorders for the Nintendo 3DS. It will cost 50 big ones to put down your name on a 3DS (which counts towards the purchase) but for those wanting to get one on the first day it comes out, this may be your best bet.
If your not the type of person who enjoys going out into the world, then you can still wait for Amazon to begin its orders for the Nintendo 3DS.
While this year may have been a little disappointing for huge movie blockbuster's, 2011 is looking to be a good year. Here is a look of some of the movies that should be on your must see list.
January 7th ~ Season of the Witch
Nick Cage makes a return to the big screen in Season of the Witch. The movie takes place during the medieval era, where Nikolas Cage is assigned to transport a witch. But will the witch be able to convince him that she is good?
This movie looks pretty interesting, and looks pretty epic. Hopefully Season of the Witch lives up to its hype. Plus its Nickolaus Cage, how can you go wrong?
January 14th ~ The Green Hornet
Seth Rogen appears in this comic book film, where a average guy gets a bunch of money, and decides to use those funds to become the Green Hornet and stop crime. It kinda falls into the Iron Man or Batman era. But its more in the form of a comedy. They get a cool rocking car, guns and even a gun that shoots knock out gas.
Hopefully Seth Rogen will do justice to the Green Hornet character.
January 28th ~ The Rite
Sure, the exorcism genre is somewhat overdone, but hopefully the Rite will liven up the genre a bit after the disappointing The Last Exorcism. The movie is about an America Priest who travels to a exorcism school to study. But he soon finds that exorcism's are a bit more tricky then meets the eye.
February 4th ~ The Roomate
What seems to be the first horror movie of the year, the roommate looks to be a interesting horror triller. The film is about Sara, who goes to college and gets a roommate who at first appears to be very nice. But as the film goes on, something very wrong seems to be going down, and Sarah appears to be in danger.
For those who like horror movies, this will be a must see.
Sanctum ~
James is coming back with another film after Avatar. But will it be as good, maybe. Sanctum looks like its trying to copy the descent, just without the monsters. If it the Sanctum has a solid script and good acting, it may be worth seeing, but otherwise, it doesn't look to be James best work.
February 18th ~ Unknown
For those who like a little drama and suspense, the Unknown will be your film. The Unknown is about a doctor who gets in a car accident, but when he wakes up, he finds out that he has been replaced by someone that looks like him.
February 25th ~ Drive Angry
Nicholas Cage appears in another film not to far off from Season of the Witch. This time, in Drive Angry, Nicolas Cage escapes from Hell to get ravage on the men who killed his daughter. But as he is hunting them down, the devil is hot on his tail. This movie looks to be full of crazy action and insane laughs. The devil and Nick Cage, you can't go wrong.
March 4th ~ Rango
For those who like weird animated movies, then Rango will fill your gut. The movie is about a lizard that wonders into a Western town when he is being chased by a bird. When he is there, he gets named the protector of the town, and has to battle a big cobra. If your a fan of westerns, or animated movies, then Rango will be right up your alley.
March 25th ~ Sucker Punch
For those who like comic book movies that have hot girls, action, and awesome special effects, then Sucker Punch will be for you. It looks really awesome from the trailer. If there is one movie you gotta see this 2011, then Sucker Punch is looking to be one of them. I'll let the trailer show you the awesomeness.
Well, its looking like 2011 is going to have some must see movies right off the bat. Are there any movies you are super excited to see?
If your a fan of the old movie or new to True Grit, it will be your serious movie this holiday season. True Grit has great acting, camera work and a pretty good script to boot.
The story begins when Mattie dad is killed by a crazy Tom Chaney. 14 year old Mattie wants ravage on Tom and wants him to be charged with what he has done. But since Time Chaney is out in the Indian County, no one else really cares or takes her seriously.
So Mattie finds Cogburn, a old out bond sheriff to help her out. The start of the film has a few out drawn scenes and starts out a bit slow. But once Mattie and Cogburn hit the road, the film gets interesting. They run into Texas ranger La Boeuf who travels with them a bit, a creepy old body that is hanging from the trees and even a run in with some snakes.
The end of the film is when things get really interesting, and is the best part of the film. But I won't spoil anything. Overall, if your in the mood for a movie that takes itself serious in a classic western setting, then True Grit is your film.
While Google won't officially launch it's Chrome OS laptops till 2011, those who sign up for the beta test program got a chance for a free Chrome OS beta Laptop. And I appear to be one of the lucky ones.
The laptop is pretty bare, you have a keyboard, a trackpad, power suppy, USB plug and sound plug, and that's about it. Chrome OS is built for surfing the web, and that is basically the OS, a web browser. There are no folder's, no other program's, just Chrome, you and the web.
At first you made laugh at the idea, but if you think about it, having a laptop for just web surfing is a pretty good idea. You get a really fast boot up time, longer battery life and you don't have to worry about all that file stuff. Plus the laptop is small and more useful for travel.
I will do some more blogging when I get some more time with the Chrome OS. But if you like Chrome already, then your going to love this.
I am Michael. My favorite time of the day is either Adventure Time, or sleeping time. Sometimes I like to be quiet and chill, and other times I like to be crazy and hyper.
My favorite time of music is Metal, although I like every genre. My favorite type of movies are horror, although, again, I like every genre. I tend to keep a open mind and like aspects both from the mainsteam and underground.
I also have a passion for film. I love to tell stories, and try my best not to sell out or make crap like the mainsteam Hollywood films.
I also value friendship as very important, and need to have my hangout times with them. Although I also need time for just me, myself and I.
And that, is Michael in a short bio.
