So I had hope to be post ing more in my blog and suddenly I see its almost the end of the month of August. The time flew by faster than I liked and now I have a guilt of not keeping up with my promise. Course I have to have readers to be missed so I guess the failure is minimal.
Alot has occured in the last month that has taken up my time, thoughts, and general state of being. Perhaps thats why the month disappeared on me....in any case here I be.
I never really did believe in Blogs so it is rather funny that I am writing one. On suggestion of a great friend, if nothing else it keeps you writing. Surprisingly I have been doing just that ...just not on here.
So for your reading pleasure and also to keep myself up in writing I will try to post a movie review or random thought or reciepe for disaster .....something. New month coming up ...good point to try and start something new.
So today I thought it would be fun to review two movies that I recently watched. As a side note I love Netflix and the size of their library. I am an avid viewer of b-movies and netflix is like an open playground. case in point is my short review on two movies.
Ninja Cheerleaders http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0972857/ and Cheerleader Ninjas http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235280/ (gotta love that) I have posted the IMDB links so you can look up who is in it etc. I will spare stating this info here when ever possible and just get to the meat of the review because all the information is already on IMDB and its less for me to type.
It is funny because these movies are almost like mirror images of each other not only in name but also in just quality, story, etc. about the only real similarity with the movies is that there are cheerleaders who are/become ninjas.
Ninja Cheerleaders is about Three Cheerleaders who are working hard to earn enough money to go to a top college. Of course the quickest way to make money is...stripping....sorry go-go dancing as one of the girls insists it is and she is right. Which is rather disappointing because all three women are hot hot hot. Well the own of the place they stri....gogo dance is owned by the man who is also their master teacher of the ninja arts. The master is played by none other than...George Takei. When their master is captured by the head of the local mafia and steals the safe containing the girls college savings they risk everything to get the master and the money back.
CHeesy yes...but this movie did have a budget and there was a certain girl power theme through out the movie in between the random topless dance shots. Not sure what purspose those served other than giving the feel like you are watching an episode of the batman. The actress do have enough skills to make you believe these girls know how to fight...maybe not as good as a ninja but they do kick some ass. On the whole it was very entertaining and better than expected. Worth a rental or toss in the old netflix Q.
Cheerleader Ninjas is about a group of four cheerleaders who learn how to be "ninja"s in order to defend themselves from a rival schools cheerleader squad who also know how to fight. Our cheerleaders also find themselves fending off the local geeks of the school who can't help but only wear Star Trek T-shirts.When of the geeks codes puts the worlds internet at risk they band with the cheerleaders to fight the Bad cheerleaders and save the world.
Oh yeah and at random points the cheereleaders lose their tops.
Unlike the previous movie this one had less of a production value, picture quality, acting quality, and just in general a poorer film. On the plus side the movie does not try to be something its not. There are a number of entertaining moments and the fact that no one in the movie is taking it seriously helps keep you watching....oh yeah and some women get topless ...did I say that all ready. Anyway the climatic battle at the end is definitely a riot and For the McDonalds Happy meal budget they must have had they did good. Again worth a toss in the Netflix bin or if your just looking for some mindless entertainment of T&A, fart jokes and robots.
So if you like a decent film made with a decent budget and a script that will keep you entertained...Ninja Cheerleaders is for you.
If your looking for good old movie that looks like a college film project with bad acting, T&A , world domination and girl on girl fighting....Cheerleader Ninjas is for you.
BTW for the curious I may start to use the blog for posting of some matertial I am writing. Feedback will always be welcom for any who actually cross my way. For those of you who do read this. Thanks for spending time in my little corner of the internet.

The Dark Knight was a bright light
All I can say is the Box office speaks for itself. Dark Knight is a fantastic movie and not all the best parts were revealed in the trailer Woo Hoo! If you haven't seen it stop reading now and go...Like the wind.
Anyway sorry it took me a while to post again for the few and far between that read this.
Not alot to say really outside that I am happy the Favre saga is nearing an end...at least thats the way it is looking. Course it is not the end that most of the Packer nation wanted but hey thats sports. If this had been any other athelet, it would have been in the honorable mention category of all the tabloid sports shows and reports, etc. The front office of the Packers handle the situation poorly, Brett I think was over dramatic a bit and the Media can go fark themselve for hyping up what should have been a quiet situation. Lets face it folks the NFL has had slow news cycles as of late so the sports writers were hungry to justify their jobs so they hopped on this quicker than me at the buffet table of all you can eat taco night.
I am not a Favre worshipper by far but come on seriously this could have been handled so much better but Thompson and McCarthy had their "Plan". Supporting a guy who threw 7 of 20 to vertern players at a schrimitch where he wears the "Hammer don't hurt me" jersey. PLus he is injury prone lets not forget.
Packer nation prepare for a season like we had in the 80's blood is in the air and we have Lions, and Bears and Vikings Oh My, circling the waters. Who knows perhaps I am wrong and we end up like the bears of a few years ago, where our defense carries us to the Super Bowl. But let remember how that ended.
I just watched a movie the other night called "Stupid Teenagers Must Die!!" it was a very basement budget movie...ie some film students in a house with a vid cam, making a parody of 80's horror films. On the whole it wasn't bad. Definitely worth the instant watch on Netflix if you have some alcohol handy. I like to watch movies like this because it gives me hope that eventually when I get around to making a movie my self I may actually find a distributor.
Also recently watched was "Zombie Strippers" now this was a piece of High grade cinema let me tell you. I mean it had Jenna Jameson AND Robert englund in it with Zombies and Strippers....it should have been subtitled "the movie made for Mark". It was exactly what you would expect from the title. On the whole decent b-film flickage. Jenna getting naked is nothing new to most but the actresses surrounding her helped carry the movie along and of course Robert was great. I thought it was funny how they opened it with a lame attempt of being topical by putting references to GW going for a fifth term and the channel was the W channel. Its like seriously just get on with topless women ripping the hearts out men and sharing it between them. After all thats why the audience is there.
Anyway I have more to say and will try to post more frequently.
For the curious I have a new Lonely trooper episode up on my youtube channel. Hope ya like it.
