Current TV Shows I’ve Seen Lately

     With today(as of this writing) being Easter Day and the most read article on my blog surprisngly being “Current TV Shows That Suck”,I decided to pick a few shows to watch(as a semi-sequel,since I barely watch TV anymore) that frequently play a lot on cable TV and give brief reviews of…

    * DUCK DYNASTY: basically it’s just about a bunch of ZZ Top looking backwoods guys and their adventures,and nothing much more(to write home about).

   * MY BIG LITTLE GYPSY VALENTINE: this show is basically just “My Super Sweet 16″ done Gypsy style,only that the young teen gypsy gals(who are being groomed for early marriage) look more like Jersey Shore clones getting lavish “My Super Sweet 16″-esque marriages/receptions/after-parties and wearng ultra lavish looking dresses(as if they were playing intergalactic princesses in a sci-fi film). Otherwise,there’s nothing much else about the show to add.

    * RIDICULOUSNESS: a show that overplays on MTV(ala THE HILLS,JERSEY SHORE,and THE REAL WORLD) that has its hosts criticiquing homemade JACKASS-esque stunts,for watching this makes me heavily wish that both MTV and VH1 would completely dump their stale reality TV programming for a full-fledged return to endless music videos(which [as we all know] won’t happen anytime soon).

   * KOURTNEY AND KIM TAKE MIAMI: the latest adventures of the Kardashian kids,this time with Kourtney replacing Khloe in joining Kim for their Miami adventures. It’s just another one of those “rich folks’ adventures” reality series that’s only for core fans of those folks.

   * SNOOKI AND JWOWW: another one of those “rich reality TV folks’ adventures” shows,featuring two of the biggest modern pop culture hambones around(JCoww and Snooknutz The Hobbit/Hobbit Girl),for it may be better than the boring THE PAULY D. PROJECT but it’s still only for core fans of those two East Coast chicks.

   * 1,000 WAYS TO DIE: a Spike TV show that’s overplayed,dowright boring, and demonstrate why that “All Mans’ ” network is so damn lame,complete with Spike frequently overplaying movies over and over to death(ala all six STAR WARS films[destroying the mystique of what made them once so special and appealing]),which you can’t blame the folks at the UFc for moving their programming over to the Fox Sports channel.

   * HONEY BOO BOO:  Lammmmmmmeeeeeee-ooooooooo !!!!   Next !!!….

   * BATES MOTEL: since I’m too damn lazy to catch up with this season of THE WALKING DEAD(I’ve caught a few,including the important Merle starring ones) and AMERICAN HORROR STORY:ASYLUM(which I unfortunately missed the entire season of),I’ve decided to catch as many episodes of this prequel series of a teen Norman Bates(Freddy Highmore[MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE]) and his Mother(Vera Farmiga[ORPHAN,UP IN THE AIR]) set in modern times(in a remote small town),for it does its best at attempting to lay true to Norman’s roots(even having him as the abuse subject of Mother’s young boyfriend),but loosens things up by giving Norman a kinda-girlfriend(a handicapped chick),with a few murders thrown in here and there,for it’ll be interesting to see what direction this series takes as it moves along(since it has major potential being being real good),and if it’ll remain true to the original films’ roots.

   * DINERS,DRIVE-INS,and DIVES: a Food Network regular that frequently plays,but is actually entertaining,as host/restaurant owner Guy Fiero checks out nationwide restaurants to reveal the secrets behind their tasty foods and gives positive criticiques on those yummy looking meals. It’s basically MAN VS. FOOD without the mosntrous overplate meal eating challenges yet(like MAN VS. FOOD) contains plenty of super delicious looking meals that are dangerous for both your weight and your blood sugar(yet look worth trying).

     Otherwise,I’m done with reviewing stuff on TV (for now)…

Happy Easter,Everyone !!

The latest on Jackie Chan’s ‘Police Story 2013′ – new details emerge!

The latest on Jackie Chan’s ‘Police Story 2013′ – new details emerge!.

As the link above says,Jackie Chan is working with his LITTLE BIG SOLDIER co-director Ding Sheng on a new POLICE STORY film,this one having Jackie elevated to Mainland police officer and in the midsts of rescuing his kidnapped daughter from a vicious gang.

It’s said to expect more gun fights than martial arts,although I suspect that Jackie will have a few spectacula fight sequences on hand(as only Jackie can do them).

March Mania 2013

    It’s been starting to get far too long since I last posted a blog entry,for before my on-line rivals and nemesises start to declare me dead I’ve better get this latest blog entry quickly going…

   As spring is quickly approaching and the gas prices are rising for the season($4.00 and up…),there’s been word of Dolph Lundgren planning on doing a project with Tony Jaa(would be uber cool and amazing if that happens),Kane Kosugi casted as Scott Adkin’s main foe in(the just completed) NINJA 2,Bruce Willis(the only successful modern action cinema star[of the current being]) being considered as the lead in that long rumored DEATH WISH remake/redux,and now rumors of Sam Raimi slowly preparing to make EVIL DEAD 4,something which I’ll only take with a grain of salt until both Raimi and Bruce Campbell officially confirm that it’ll happen(we’ve got to wait to see how the supremely gory EVIL DEAD “remake” does at the box office first).

    There’s also been the recent passings of filmmaker Del Tenney(THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH,VIOLENT BLOODBATH{a.k.a.: PSYCHOMANIA]),CURSE OF THE LIVING CORPSE[featuring the debut of Roy Scheider],and the recent Katherine Heigl Straight-To-DVD horror film DESCENDANT),actor Dale Robertson,mucho controversial Vendezula leader Hugo Chavez,and now legendary wrestling manager William Moody,better known as both Paul Bearer and Percy Pringle,for Del,Dale,and William/Paul/Percy all be heavily missed.

     And JACK THE GIANT SLAYER may have knocked INDENTITY THIEF off the top of this past weekend’s box office but only grossed $28 million,which is like a billion to us regular folks but to the folks in Hollywood it’s highly considered a major flip since JACK… costed $200 million to make,and it’ll be interesting to see how Sam Raimi’s new OZ prequel(which is rumored to have been made for $300 million) does.

    And to close this out,I did see A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD,for it’s just as cartoonish(if not more)as LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD and it would be fitting if this does turn out to be the final film in the series(considering the film’s final scene,and how grizzled and rapidly aged Bruce Willis looks in this film).

Still Badly Reeling From The Extremely Awful Recent Oscars/Academy Awards Show,For Everything About It Was Sheer Awful And Made Alan Carr’s Controversial 1989 Oscars(With Rob Lowe’s Singing Debut/Musical Number)Look Like Classic Vintage TV,For The Less About Seth MacFarlane’s Hosting Duties The Better

One Of THE DEADLY SPAWN(For Real ?),Or…

Alien-like creature pulled from New Jersey area an Internet sensation.

In the link above,it may look like a real life version of one of the creatures from THE DEADLY SPAWN,but it’s actually a large sea lamprey that was floating around a lake in New Jersey,for it’s pretty freaky in knowing that what we always would think was a make believe alien being actually exists here on Earth.

Jeff Speakman Vs. His Biggest Enemy Yet

  Kenpo karate legend/martial arts action star Jeff Speakman has laid quiet in recent years devoting a lot of his time to teaching his Kenpo 5.0 fighting technique,but is now facing an immensive battle against his biggest enemy yet.

  Jeff’s official site reports that he’s developed thorat cancer that has spread to his vocal cords and is dealing with having to have surgery(which’ll threaten to lose his voice,ala Roger Ebert) and chemo,which he is now currently undergoing(and taking supplements to aid in his battle),for Jeff really needs our help and prayers to make it through this ordeal and has opened up a medical fund at his site to help pay for the medical expenses.    http://www.jeffspeakman.com  

     This cancer tragedy has also happened on the eve of receiving news that he’s finally receiving financial funding for a movie project he’s been working on making for the last three years,which’ll now have to wait till Jeff is much better,stronger,and much more healthier. Let’s all very tightly(and very strongly) cross our fingers that Jeff makes it through all of this a-okay(as well as being able to save his voice[and vocal cords]).

Speaking Of Martial Artists,Steven Seagal Is Doing Some Good As An Instructor For Armed Vounteer Posse Members Guarding School Grounds In Maricopa County,Arizona(Where Fellow Actors Lou Ferrigno And MISSION IMPOSSBLE’s Peter Lupus Are Participating As Posse Members),With Police Work Having Become Seagal’s Second Career(Since He’s Deputized With Sheriff’s Offices In Arizona,Texas,New Mexico,and Louisiana)

2013: The Year Horror Cinema Tops The Box Office Again-And-Again

   As 2013 is slowly unfolding before us,many are still attempting to grasp upon what’s already one of the top main stories/new items,whether it’s Presdient Obama’s controversial gum control laws or the numerous celebrity passings that have happened,but as far as it goes for me I have to say that it’s horror cinema’s repeated multi million dollar triumphs at the top of the box office charts. 

    For the last six-and-a-half weeks,the likes of TEXAS CHAINSAW 3-D,MAMA,and HANSEL AND GRETEL:WITCH HUNTERS have topped the weekend box office(hitting Number One with multi million financial grosses),for now another horror film joins that top spot as the zombie romance film WARM BODIES hit Number One with a $20 million dollar financial gross. I’m sure that many people are wondering why horror cinema is so popular right now and I’m sure that many “psychiatric” types are saying that it’s possibly because of the recent gun-related tragedies in the last several months that we’re drawn to horror cinema to deal with coping with reality’s real life horror,for maybe that’s a partial reason for otherwise with myself it’s just that poeple love horror films and enjoy the hell out of having fun watching them(as well as daring themselves to be scared).

     Say what you want about the quality of those current popular film,but I’m surely enjoying the hell out of seeing horror cinema topping the Number One spots at the weekend box offices on a repeated basis.

Can’t Believe It’s Already February 2013

   Yep:it’s already now February in a year that just got started and controversial(and is once again going to be another really fast moving year),with President Obama passing controversial gun control laws,horror cinema dominating the top of the box office with three hit films(they being MAMA,TEXAS CHAINSAW 3-D,and HANSEL AND GRETEL:WITCH HUNTERDS),and over ten celebrities having passed away already.  

     One thing that I’m increasingly growing tired of are these damn hipsters/scenesters that have populated the on-line genre fandom community for the last 12 years,since it seems like whenever you voice your opinion about something or do what Jesus rightfully says in setting the truth(that you can hold inside you for so long)free and suddenly it immediately becomes a ferocious war-of–words that’s accompanied by endlessly fierce debates and dueling flame wars(by foolish trolls who should know better[but don't]),for I just don’t got time to fall deep into Anyone’s bullshit on-line drama(no matter who or whom it is)and have learned that walking away from it is the best thing to do and allowing the troublemaking trolls to look completely stupid with egg exploded on their faces,for in the end karma will indeed be coming to collect them since I don’t need to have a Krypt,an AV forum,or a Netherworld,or be a Nekro or a Wynorsking person,or(even worse) an aging hipster/scenester,for as controversial as myself and my words can be I’m fully proud to be who I am and I’m proud to never hold anything back nor sugarcoat it and that I never had to kiss-up,kissass,nor brownnose to get to where I am in life,for I enormously love the genre too much to ever want to leave it.  As the Ultimate Warrior says, “You Must Show No Mercy…Nor Have Any Beliefs Whatsoever In How Others Judge You…For Your Greatness Will Silence Them All !!” : so truthfully spoken by an ex-wrestler.

    Speaking of hipsters,anyone ever notice that the upcoming EVIL DEAD remake is actually a remake of the early EVIL DEAD promo short WITHIN THE WOODS(which also features a zombie fighting young heroine),for why didn’t the producers be sincerely honest in calling their film EVIL DEAD:WITHIN THE WOODS since it’s got all of the major gore and splatter to help make it a success(since it had to be re-edited for a hard R rating),even if it’s strongly aimed at the hipster crowd.

      Otherwise,it’ll be interesting to see how the next few months will turn out(and what will happen in them[in the time to come])…
