I don’t know how you feel about Ultraviolet, it’s got a kick ass trailer but it seems to have a lot of bad reviews. I haven’t seen it myself, missed the showtime so now I gotta wait for the DVD. But I picked up the soundtrack by Jem from the trailer, it’s called 24 and I find it the best music in a while since Evanescence.
Here are the lyrics,
Been given 24 hours
To tie up loose ends
To make amends
His eyes said it all
I started to fall
And the silence deafened
Head spinning round
No time to sit down
Just wanted to
Run and run and run
Be careful they say
Don’t wish life away,
Now I’ve one day
And I can’t believe
How I’ve been wasting my time
In 24 hours they’ll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
Is there a heaven a hell
And will I come back
Who can tell
Now I can see
What matters to me
It’s as clear as crystal
The places I’ve been
The people I’ve seen
Plans that I made
Start to fade
The sun’s setting gold
Thought I would grow old,
It wasn’t to be
And I can’t believe
How I’ve been wasting my time
In 18 hours they’ll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
In 13 hours they’ll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
I’m not alone, I sense it, I sense it
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it
And I can’t believe
How much I’ve wasted my time
In just 8 hours they’ll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
In just 1 hour they’ll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
You can grab the MP3 somewhere (find it yourself, I’m not getting in trouble for this) and in case you haven’t watched Ultraviolet here’s the trailer that I thought was cool.
Now this is what I call an AWESOME movie!! Director Tetsuya Nomura really pulled it off well, crossing between the Matrix and real life. The characters are stunning, even the fighting moves are unbelievable. It’s been a while since I watched an animated movie with Disney sucking up pretty bad lately, so this was a definite treat.
Tifa Lockheart (voice by Ayumi Ito) is simply gorgeous in her black leather outfit. Her facial animatrix and lip formation is so unreal I wish she was real!
The storyline might be a little hard to understand if you never played the game, but the cool effects and beautiful artwork will capture your attention nevertheless.
9 Songs (2004)
Kieran O’Brien, Margo Stilley
My rating:
I was duped. This is nothing but a sex movie and it was more like watching pr0n to me than anything else. The story is lame, the acting is lame, even the sex is lame. If I had known I was going to watch pr0n I would’ve grabbed something from the Jap-AV shelf instead. Anyway, total dissapointment. One heart is my lowest rating available, but I’m considering making the graphic file for zero rating.
Blue Crush (2003)
Kate Bosworth, Michelle Rodriguez
My rating:
Blue Crush is about a Hawaiian surfer girl Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth) training her way to beat Oahu’s infamous Pipeline, the world’s meanest wave. With a rebelious sister and lack of parental support, her dreams are only fueled by free living and the only family she has, her best friends (Michelle Rodriguez and Sanoe Lake).
If you’re looking for a good chick flick, a good beach flick, and a good surf flick in one package, this one’s for you. I personally like it not just for the tan and bikinis, this movies has one of the greatest surfing scenes with beautiful ocean and waves. It’s also a very good motivational drive if you ever shot big in life.
I was an inline skater going pro ten-fifteen years ago so I know what it feels like for Anne Marie to want to win it big and be sponsored by Billabong. It was a dream for me to be sponsored by Taco Bell or Roces or whatever. I wasn’t close but it was within reach. I’m in a little bit of a regret but I have other aims now. But it would’ve been nice to actually be “there” once in a lifetime. Well if you didn’t get your shot it’s always nice to watch others get theirs.
This is my second viewing and the reason I watched it again tonight is because I had been down these past two days and I needed some sort of a motivational drive to boost me up again.
Honey is about a young dancer Honey Daniels (Jessica Alba) who dreams of making it big in the music video industry. She meets Michael Ellis a known video director at the club she works at and finally gets her big shot through him in the business. Just when her carreer is soaring (she becomes a coreographer) Michael tries to get inside her pants. In rejecting him she finds herself booted from the music video scene.
A little down she jumps back to her pending dream to get kids off the streets through dancing. She fights to finance a used building to create a home for these kids. With support from her barber boyfriend she puts up a dance benefit show to fundraise for the building.
This movie shows you that in the brink of desperation you can find light if you push through hard enough. No matter where you’re at in life if you keep your dreams real and you fight hard to make it happen you will in fact make it happen.
Missy Elliot looks for Honey to do her videos, somebody out there looks for you and your hidden talent right now.
