Movie to reconsider ::: 'Descent'


First and foremost I would like to apologize for my long awaited return to blogging. It has been one heck of a reality the past few weeks. I do not want you guys to feel that I have forgotten about you. I have been taking the time out to watch some awesome movies to provide to you guys. As you can see in the title I got my hands on a great one. That goes by the name 'Decent', which is a first time production effort by Rosario Dawson.

If you all can remember those college years in which you witnessed horrific acts of violence, wild partying and such just to come out unscathed. Well many did not have that luxury, and those who were more touched by the social aspect than its educational wealth offering and second this film and put it up there with films that tell a story of truth.

I do not want to give this film away at all so allow me to try my best to deliver to you the premise. We have here a college student which is a young lady who is brilliant and about to take the next leap in life just to find herself in a situation that will not allow her out, both emotionally and physically. In which her only response to it is wild parties and drugs, and a hidden agenda for relief.

All to often we are offended in society, one way or another and are left to live with the tragic offense with no offering of understanding or support. So we must take into our own hands justice, however before that justice takes place something within our hearts shifts to a place that is more damaging than that act that has lead us to that road. This film provides a vivid picture into such a state of mind.

I must warn that it is worthy of awards beyond anything that Hollywood can offer. For a production effort that far exceeds expectations Rosario Dawson and her team did an awesome job. I feel that this film will be talked out for years to come. I think all you ladies who come across this will thank me for this film and what it has to offer, however I must warn you that this film is not for the faint of heart, but for those who respect great art.


This film is Directed by Talia Lugacy and is written by Brian Priest and Talia Lugacy.

Movie not to consider :::: Angel Lola luv's - 'Crazy like a fox'


I can not recommend this movie no matter how hard I tried. I must warn you this has to be either the least most interesting trailer I have ever seen, and/or the largest waste of money taken to produce a film. I know the Angel " Lola Luv" Melaku, is a pretty, Exotic offering from Ethiopia, and I know she has a body that is out of this world with no comparison. However does that warrant a movie role? This has to be the twilight zone! I am at the point where I will never ever go to the movies again. Then again this movie hits at all the things that happen behind the scenes, that would get something like this green lighted. I don't care that it is independent, it seem that it is independent of creativity, vision, and acting.

I am sure they did not spend much money on the production, filming, etc. However I am hoping that the plot turns out ok. From this trailer I do not have much faith it in at all. Angel is great to look at and I will go to see it for that, but that is about it.


I think she is aiming for the title of; the Ethiopian Marilyn Monroe, Pin up girl extreme, Just stay away from the politicians in office. I think we had enough with Eliot Spitzer and do not even think about the current swinging first lady and governor of NY. They will eat you alive.




Here is the Trailer:



What do you think of it?

Whatever it is that you think of this film or this actress, you will see more of her. She is filming the Wendy Williams biopic " Queen of media." The actress is the highlight of internet rumors and questions about her actual physical makeup. Most do not believe that her back side is authentic, much stipulation revolves around her in the Hip Hop world, and it soon to leak into mainstream thought slowly but surely.


Photos from Vibe magazine photo shoot:

Here is a clip from her vibe magazine interview:


I’m a reckless driver. I’ve had three traffic warrants in three different states since I’ve been driving [laughs]. The fastest I’ve driven is 130 mph, and I think it was a Dodge Charger. I love speeding and cars. I get a serious rush. It’s ridiculous.


I guess she appreciates the fast lane, and if you can keep up, then give it a shot. More on this Video vixen of the year 2007.

Movie to reconsider ::: Peaceful Warrior


If ever there would be a film that you can walk away feeling differently than when you arrived at the theater, then that movie has done more than entertain you. The opportunity to make art fulfill its true purpose has been taken by this film. An opportunity to enlighten thoughts beyond the level of mediocrity.

The film is based on the book " Way of the peaceful warrior."

You must look past the budget of the film or the lack of art direction and focus on the principle of the film. A film that seems all to reminiscent of the Karate Kid or the many Jean Claude Van Dam Films, you will be able to extract from this film a sense of well being.

The character Socrates played by Nick Nolte is a great re-entry role for the incognito actor, is sort of a mystery in this film and received his name from the lead character played by Scott Mechlowicz. The lead character is a gymnast who is not sure of him self, but seems to weave through all that insecurity on the gym floor, to prove who he is, as an athlete, and end up falling short. He gets into an accident that takes away from him the one thing that makes him. From that point he must learn not to give up, but to take his life to the next level spiritually. Although he seeks to give up, he has the help of his inner mind or so it seems in the character Socrates and the help of Amy Smart's Character who keeps him focused on the positives of the future.

Here are a few Quotes from the Film that may convince you to have the experience:

  • A warrior is not about perfection or victory or invulnerability, he's about absolute vulnerability thats the only true courage.
  • A warrior act's only a fool reacts.
  • There is no starting or stopping only doing.
  • A warrior is does not give up what he loves - he finds the love is what he does.

    If ever your life consisted of a time when you could not make the next move, because something that you hold close and rely on has been taken away from you. This is the movie for you. If you are in a rut and seek to dig out of that rut this is the movie for you. If you know someone who carry a burden that weighs more than it is worth this is the movie for them.

    This film stars Scott Mechlowicz, Nick Nolte, Amy Smart. Directed by Victor Salva
