Before I go any where with this review, I just want to say what I great year this has been, and will be for movies. This double feature is what a night out to the movies should be. I am not a horror movie fan, but after these two flicks, I think I may have to reconsider. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect going into this. All the trailers just showed random scenes with no movie or plot explanation. I can also say that I didn't expect much from movies with such advertisement as well. Then I sat down, and once the "Prevues" came up I was hooked. This old theater style aka "Grindhouse" was something the younger generation of movie goers just isn't use to, but should start getting use to. Even though the whole idea of both films were suppose to be a complete spoof of older films, and cheesy overacted scenes, it worked. Too many directors and producers try to make their movie the next movie of the year, but the movies are about entertainment. This movie does just what all movie goers want, a good wholesome time that kills a night with sheer entertainment.
Planet Terror by Robert Rodriguez is about biochemicals that cause brain eating zombies to be unleashed upon Texas. Nothing new of course, but the way it's written with humor and gore will make your jaw drop. I will spare the details since the best part about these movies were that the trailers didn't let the viewers really get the idea of the movies. Bruce Willis does a great job along with El Ray. 4.8 out of 5. The .2 is for daring to have a missing reel scene during that pivotal part, and for showing me too many balls.
Next we got Death Proof by Quentin Tarantino. Ok so maybe the first 30 minutes are slow, and the breakfast diner scene might kill you if you don't understand the building up of characters with dialogue as Tarantino loves to do. Either or, the rest of the movie will blow your mind, put you on the edge of your seat, soak your palms in sweat, and kill your insides with laughter. Taratino is a genius. This may have the single best car chase ever filmed, and that involves a car chase with NO SPECIAL EFFECTS, just complete director and writer brilliance. I will say nothing more of the movie. I give it a 5 out of 5
Grindhouse 5 out of 5. Instant Classic....I almost forgot about the trailers. Don't was hilarious, Thanksgiving might have the most disturbing scenes ever from Hollywood, SS has the lovely ladies, and Machete was done so well it's going to turn out to be a real movie. See this movie, see it now, see it tomorrow, and see it again.

Awesome Ghost Video
I have seen endless videos of ghost, most of them fake of course. This one right here though was not only footage from a cop chase, but it may be the freakiest video you will ever see. In the sense of HOW THE F*** did that happen.
Sasquatch
Today we will examine the magical hairy monster who avoids almost the whole population of California and endless searches. Bigfoot is his famous name, and there has been rare footage of him caught on tape. The most famous tape is that of the Patterson incident. Recently a few years ago this was also revealed as a hoax.
Still there have been many other reportings about Bigfoot, and there are some different ways to think about it. Scientist claim there is still large areas of California wilderness that are so vast that it wouldn't be odd if they found a whole species of Sasquatch living in them. There are forest so large they would be able to hold a small population of dinosaurs without fear of humans bothering them. Then there are theories as to whether Bigfoot is like an American Werewolf. There are also many different relations and other similar reports of Sasquatch like animals all over the globe. The most familiar one that may be able to be considered a cousin of Sasquatch is the Abominable Snowman.
A truly interesting piece of evidence that supports the Sasquatch story is the local art and pots designed by Native Americans in that area over 200 years ago. There are many different symbols that represent a beast much larger than man and full of hair. More than likely if Sasquatch does exist he is a dying bread. Extinct by most standards, but to think that someone so close to the chain of humans and monkeys not yet discovered is shocking. Maybe it is a government cover-up so that the evolution change doesn't get rocked by this. Maybe they are even results of experiments by the government that have also gone wrong. Either or, the odds are in favor that Bigfoot is probably not real, and that all the evidence and videos are just hoaxes done up by people who crave attention. There have never ever been bones found of any type of Sasquatch, which may mean that they are smart enough to bury their dead, but still with all their hair and such these ape like creatures are more likely to be found south of the equator. Then there is the theory that maybe they crossed the Bering Strait years back, since there is evidence that such creatures did exist millions of years ago in a forests very similar to those in the US, in China. Still if they did ever exist it was probably over 1 million years ago, any sightings of them now are probably larger than life humans who have been abandon by their families because of mental/physical problems.

Another Collapse by the Phillies
Only the second game of the year, and Phillies have already lost two games in extra innings. Allowing the Braves to come back then put them away twice this season. Ryan Madson takes another lost, and the starting pitching has to be a little furious. What are we to expect of the season now. Howard was thrown out at the with 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th, that would've given the Phils a 3-0 led, and they probably would have won. The play right before that a runner was caught stealing who also would have been another run added to the score after Utley hit a double. 0-2, I don't care if they lose, but losing this way is like asking if the Braves want to live in their locker room while their at Citizens Bank Park to make their stay more comfortable. Come on Phils what are you doing to us.

Atlantis, Mayan Calender, and the 4th, 5th ,6th worlds
If there is one thing that has always caught my attention is that of the afterlife, and past that we have left behind. One thing that I recently started to wonder was about different civilizations through out the world. It is amazing to think that Carthage had working plumbing as early as 500 BC, and maybe even earlier. I thought about other civilizations that dated back even further than 500 BC, and were still pretty educated. There was the other Greek colonies, Babylon, and of course Egypt. What came before Egypt though, I am sure there is some evidence as to other civilizations in the Middle East and Asia. Still there has to be some others that were there way before Egypt and were completely civilized. I mean there is no way we were hunters and gathers and then only a few centuries later we are building pyramids. It is possible that there were civilizations far more advance than we are now that have existed, but were possibly wiped out by a "nuclear war" of some sort. The pyramids were built around 3200 BC, around this time Atlantis is supposedly to have sunk. This in turn ended the 4th world. The 5th world then began. There are theories according to the Mayan calender that we are working on our 6th World which will begin in December of 2011-2012. Not exactly sure what this means, but it would make sense. This would mean that there were other civilizations that did exist before Egypt that were complex, but lost some how to history.

Oh Phillies....High Quality Pictures
Well if opening day was a sign of things to come, then welcome back Phillies. Don't worry guys we are use to this, it's only when you start winning, that is when we get nervous. That means something just isn't right. I mean leaving 3rd and 2nd stranded with 0 outs in the bottom of the 9th with clutch hitters at that plate in front of a sellout crowd, hey it's cool. I thought maybe this year would be different, but why did it have to start this way.
Sorry not much today...but I got a cool link to a website with some nice high quality pictures
