The story follows a young delinquent blues guitarist named Wesley who lands himself in a Baptist mad house after getting in a fight over a woman.

He is forced to play crappy Gospel music with a bunch of bandmembers who hate him, until he starts sneaking a little blues into their setlist.

This isn’t without the help of Verne, an autistic piano virtuoso named Vernon who drives an invisible car and has a sheltering father.

Not only does Wesley have to earn the respect of Vernon’s father and the band, get past Vernon’s jam session inhibiting disorder, but he also has to deal with the band director’s hatred of the devil’s music: the blues.

A few months ago I did a small review on this as a theatre version, well this was the DVD-rip and its an excellent quality film.

I love horror films but this one is not a horror its more of a suspense type thriller keeping you on the edge of your seat, and it did that.

1408 is the second thriller set around a hotel released in less than two months (the other being April’s Vacancy), and is by far the superior film.

The film is actually quite subtle in its way of creeping us out and disturbing us, which is a nice change of pace from the recent Hostel: Part II. Rather than bombard the audience with ghostly special effects and gore, the movie gets under your skin and goes for a much more psychological approach.

Juno delivers a train-wreck of awkward moments one after another, which ends up making the film both uncomfortable and ultimately unenjoyable.

The way the characters speak, the ridiculous lingo they use, the sequence of events, the plot as a whole, the stupid feminist undertones, the failed attempts at witty comedy, everything about it is irritating.

Michael Cera portrays the same socially detached high schooler that he has in other movies, exactly the same way as before.

The soundtrack to this film sounds like it was recorded in someone’s basement, and only further helps to annihilate what little emotion and drama existed.

Yes this film has had the Hollywood touch added to it.

The book is funny & sad & romantic.

All the funny characters had been left out of the movie and the funny parts of the book they kept were watered down.

The movie rambles on and the true love between Holly & Gerry is never expressed on screen.

If you want to enjoy the story - read the book, the film was disapointing.

When you go to a movie, you are looking at a production thats going to make an impression on you.

The movie maker want you to feel like you spent an hour and a half of your life without regret.

Ice Cube pulls off a likable performance.

Katt Williams has the “one liners” that keeps you wanting more.

First Sunday will appeal to a crowd that is familiar with going to church on Sunday, knows that the choir leader has a tendency to be flamboyant, and that you have to be a bad apple to be forgiven.

Commodore (back after 25 years) Update…

Earlier on in 2007 Commodore announced they were coming back in the form of PC systems!

Well I can now say that Commodore have been selling their new machines, they run Windows Vista 64-bit version.

Its cool how in 1980’s it was 8-bit C64 in 2008 its 64-bit Commodore PC

Here’s a review from Commodore website:

Pros Excellent spec for gamers. Loads of stylish skins to choose from. It says Commodore on it

Cons Costs as much as 11 Xbox 360s

After dominating ’80s home computing with the C64 and Amiga, Commodore died a horrible, slow death in the ’90s. But now the brand has been revived for a range of Windows PCs aimed at gamers. Prices start at £1000 for the entry-level G model, rising through the GS and GX to the top-of-the-range XX, tested here.

When is a Commodore not a Commodore?
You might be wondering what’s so Commodorey about a PC that’s specced (as these machines inevitably are) with components from numerous different companies. Times have changed since computer manufacturers made their own bespoke hardware, and yes, in many ways the XX is just another PC.

In fact, you could say the Commodore connection is only ‘C-Kin’ deep. C-Kins are Commodore’s own custom case design decals that can be added and removed to suit your mood, new wallpaper or fashion leanings, and it’s these above anything else that mark out the Commodore range from the competition.

A 150-inch high-definiton plasma TV unveiled by Panasonic is the world’s largest to date, the Japanese consumer electronics company claimed Monday at the International Consumer Electronics Show.

The plasma panel features an 8.84 million pixel image resolution.

Its screen is the equivalent of nine 50-inch sets, with an effective viewing area of 11 feet, the company said.

It’s a step up from Panasonic’s 103-inch version, which cost $70,000 when it launched.

The company did not say in a news release how much the 150-inch panel will cost.

GeForce 9800 GX2

NVIDIA’s yet-to-be released GeForce 9800 GX2 in the “flesh.”

We reveal some of the specs and what should be expected.

The best way to think of the GeForce 9800 GX2 card is as an 8800 GPU that has been die shrunk to 65nm and placed in an SLI configuration in a “single” card.

The 9800 GX2 is very reminiscent of 7950 GX2 of days past.

The GeForce 9800 GX2 will launch in late February or early March as it now stands and will replace the 8800 Ultra (single GPU) card in NVIDIA’s high-end product line up.

The 9800 GX2 is said to be at least 30% faster than a 8800 Ultra.

While it is not clear from the pictures below, we are told it will support “Quad SLI.”

What we have here is the story of three sisters who inherit a motel from a grandfather they’ve never met.

Their father, who is also estranged but in contact periodically, warns them not to go, but they ignore him and bring some friends along for a camping expedition.

Your father may be a jerk and a drunk girls, but on this occasion he may just actually be right… grandfathers in creepy motels are something to avoid.

What caught my attention was the high rating on the Internet Movie Database, where it was getting a ten from more than half of the voters, making it the highest rated horror film ever.
