Black Dynamite

Funniest film of the year.

the funniest film i've seen in the last decade. I was the loudest person laughing at the grand theater in oakland last week. it was awesome. they had free popcorn.

i was expecting crap but this movie is brilliant in every way and the soundtrack is amazing.

please check this out.

i loved this movie so much that after i saw it in theaters immediately i downloaded it and passed out during the middle of it the same night.

the version i downloaded had german subtitles i couldn't get rid of and was missing my favorite part of the film (the helicopter with the giant magnet)

i am going to buy the dvd when it releases in February just so i can see all the bonus features. i normally think dvds are a waste of money, but i'm just that into this.

also what is pretty cool is that my favorite artist david choe did some of the illustrations for some posters promoting the film. check those out here

iPhone: Fandango App

Man... what a great fucking idea! I can't believe they didn't have this earlier.

I actually really needed this on Valentine's day weekend. I was trying to watch Coraline in 3D and had to settle for Taken. *shudders*

More info on that here

(fandango is a service where you can buy movie tickets online and pick them up at the theater... impress your dates with a few clicks on your iPhone)

Movie: Higher Learning

"Without struggle there is no progress."
- Frederick Douglas

I heard this quote today after finally finishing Higher Learning over my Hungry Man lunch. Man, I miss the 90's.

The Wackness

Speaking of throwbacks... I really want to see this. It's showing at the LA Film Fest, but I'm not sure I wanna drop $12 and spend an hour waiting in the standby line to see it. Although I like the premise of it: a teenage love story that takes in NYC circa 1994. The soundtrack is ill too cause '94 was my favorite period of music (even tho I was in the 5th grade, I'm constantly listening and discovering more classic albums from this era). Hip-Hop and rock were at their all-time high's: Golden Age and Grunge/Alternative at their peaks.

They even got one of my all time favorites on here: Raekwon - "Heaven & Hell" (ft. Ghostface Killah)



On a sidenote, I went to go watch The Hulk today. Not bad, since I was expecting nothing - but anyway I was getting a soda and I overheard a convesation that made me feel really old:

Asian Female Movie Theater Employee: Your name reminds me of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Have you seen it? It's the one where they time travel. It's got Keanu Reeves and it was made in the 80's?

Mexican Male Employee: "The 80's? I wasn't even born then!"

Dirty Hands: The Life and Crimes of David Choe

I finally got the chance to see this movie tonight at it's world premier at the LA Film festival. The trailer for this came out in 2006 and I've been patiently waiting since.

The film shows again tomorrow (Sunday) and Thursday.

It's been a pretty inspirational and awesome week: Dodgeball win, drawing workshops, the RZA and David Choe. Hopefully some beach action tomorrow. G'nite!
