Haircut problems!

2011-05-01T23:03:00.000+02:00

Hello! Crigge here.

I have this problem when I go to the hairdresser. I have the last year and a half asked to have a haircut like Richard Hammond. If you didn't know, Richard Hammond is a British TV celebrity who is starring in the ongoing TV series Top gear. I don't really get why they always fuck it up, even when I tried different hairdressers. I realize that in the show they have stylist and such , but it doesn't look like that difficult haircut to make. Does anyone have any tips on how I can solve this problem?

Top 6 movies starring Nicolas Cage that I have seen and you should too

2011-04-21T21:45:00.000+02:00

Nicolas Cage, that man is a genius in the right role. The characters he plays have such a charm and likability even if he is playing an asshole… and he often is. Here is a list of top 6 movies starring Nicolas Cage that I have seen and you should too. Why top 6? Fuck you and let’s do this!

#6 National treasure (2004)

In this movie Nicolas Cage plays a treasure hunter called Benjamin Franklin Gates. When he finds out that rivaling treasure hunters are going to steal the declaration of independence he decides to steal it to prevent it from getting harmed.

I believe that this movie does not get the credit it deserves. Yes it is kind of cheesy and has a tad bit ridiculous premise, but Cage does this role well. This is also one of those movies where Cage plays a good guy who is down on his luck and punished for following his principles. Soon he finds himself in a situation where he must break the law to do the right thing. Yeah, one of those characters. This is such a common role for Cage that I have started to call this premise “Cage character #3”.

Anyway check it out if you have not seen it, do it.

#5 Amos and Andrew (1993)

The thief Amos Odell, Cage, is in arrest in a small town. At the same time Andrew Sterling, Samuel L. Jackson, is moving in to his new summer house. But since he is a black man in a small town with racist cops, he gets mistaken as a burglar. When the police chief realizes that Andrew actually lives in the house he pays Amos to pretend take Andrew hostage so that the police action becomes legit in the eyes of the press. The police chief later decides to get rid of both Amos and Andrew to keep them from telling the press.

This is an awesome premise to get two awesome actors acting together. But not many have seen this movie, it is a hidden gem. The highpoint of these characters are when they get double crossed by the police chief and have to work together. I don’t want to spoil too much since I really want more people to see this movie.

#4 Face/Off (1997)

You haven’t seen this movie yet? Shame on you! Go see it NOW!

Cage plays the ultimate asshole, but god he is having such a fun time. This character is nuts, simply nuts.

#3 Con air (1997)

1997 must have been a good year for Nicolas Cage. Con air is another movie about a “Cage character #3” named Cameron Poe. The character Poe is a veteran in prison for killing in self defense when his wife where almost raped. This sets the character in a situation where he gets to prison but we can't dislike him for it. Rather obvious I say. When Cameron is getting released after serving his time the convict plane he is transported in gets high jacket by the prisoners. Cameron then decides to stop the criminals one way or another.

In my head this is one of Cage's better movies, definitely worth checking out. I don't know why but Cage is so likable in this movie, especially when he tries to talk with an southern accent.

#2 The rock (1996)

I am really having a hard time writing about this one. I am stuck on describing the plot. It is about some terrorists who hold tourists hostage in the old prison on Alcatraz. In addition to that they are aiming chemical weapons on San Francisco if they do not get the ransom money. So a team of soldiers are sent in along with a man who have actually escaped the prison (played by Sean Connery) and a behind the desk... ich FBI agent named Stanley Goodspeed (played by Cage).

This is probably the most action-mainstream acting you will get out of cage, besides the national treasure. That is not a bad thing actually, since Sean Connery is in this too, hear me out. For me Sean Connery already steals the show a great deal. But since Cage manage to pull out a really serious performance, he doesn't fall into the "crazy side kick" role.

#1 Lord of war (2005)

Many of you might not know of this movie and I wouldn't blame you. I only discovered this movie when I where searching through the bargain bin at the local store. It was just a coincidence that I found this and that's why I always urge people to take a look in the bargain bin. This might be one of the greatest movies with Nicolas Cage in, if not one of my favorite movies.

This movie is based on the true story, Hollywood's definition of a true story, about the life of a arms dealer named Yuri Orlov and how he balance his double life as a family man and a gun smuggler.

One of my favorite scenes in this movie is the second scene for the credits where the viewer follows the life of a bullet from its perspective. This scene is very striking.

Cage's acting is at its best according to me. I got really involved in Yuri's life and I started to care about the character, a gun runner. Again I believe that this is because of Cage's ability to even make a asshole character likable.

My Sweet Nemesis storyboard

2011-03-30T06:27:00.000+02:00

The storyboards for my sweet nemesis are beeing made. They are pretty rough at the moment but I think that they serve pretty well.

New camera on the way!

Yeah!

The persuaders! (1971-1972)

2011-03-27T12:34:00.001+02:00

The persuaders! (1971-1972) is about two playboys who gets into a fight and destroys property. To avoid serving time in the prison the judge makes a deal with them. Instead of going to prison they must work together and fight crime!

I have seen this series with my parents and sibling many, many times. What I remember fondly is when my mother always tells us about how she remembers the series from when it was new. Every time we pop in a disc and watch an episode we hear that story.

“It was the coolest series”
“Those wallpapers where so stylish back then”
“Back in those days that outfit where considered good looking”

My mother is right, in Sweden (the country I am from) this series where seen by 50% of the population! It was basically seen by anyone who could read the subtitles. Even with the questionable title translation “Snobbar som jobbar” that means “Snobs who works”. In America The persuaders! (1971-1972) where kind of a failure, even with Tony Curtis playing one of the lead roles Danny Wilde.

This is really one of those series that should be preserved, it really captures how the time saw on adventure. Hell it does a fantastic job in preserving late 60’s and early 70’s.

They are not happy about the raitings in USA.

What do I think of the series on its own? It is really good, I mean really good! The intro is glorious and simply fantastic. The actors Roger Moore and Tony Curtis are of course awesome in their roles and I particularly like the way their character evolve during the series 24 episodes.

Let’s say that television series mysteriously vanished and there were only ten different television series left to repopulate the earth. I would feel very confident with The persuaders! (1971-1972) as one of those ten series.

Nudist colony of the dead (1991)

2011-03-27T03:23:00.000+02:00

This is not a porno, I will probably never review a porno on this site so don’t worry. It is not a horror movie either. What kind of genre is this then? It’s a comedic musical... Of course! Isn’t that the first genre that comes to your min to when you hear the title Nudist colony of the dead? I thought that this would be a B rated zombie movie, good for a few laughs. What I found out was this musical that was freaking hilarious... some times.

Nudist colony of the dead (1991) is about a former nudist colony that got closed by religious fanatics. The nudists make a suicide pact and promise to return from the dead when religious people step their foot on the nudists land. Years later a group of teenagers camps at a bible retreat, former nudist colony. Eventually the nudist zombies wake up from the dead and goes after the Christian teenagers.

How could this ever turn into a comedy musical? Well it did and it is awesome... some times. I say that because this movie has some pretty boring parts. But the music parts are pretty funny, in a 60’s batman sort of way. So bad it’s funny. My personal music number in this movie is “It’s an inky dinky doo dah morning”. Trust me, it will get stuck into your head after you have heard it.

Watch it with a group of friends and just have fun with it, it’s way more entertaining then what a movie with this title have the right to be.

Love this makeup!

2011-03-27T00:36:00.002+01:00

I just LOVE this makeup on this person. I am going to write a script for a short movie and one of the characters must have this makeup. It’s decided.

If anyone of you out there knows how to do this kind of makeup, please write this in the commentary.

Cheers!

cheers!

Shackleton (2002)

2011-03-26T07:11:00.001+01:00

The movie beginns in the year 1914 and is centered on the character Sir Ernest Shackleton (Kenneth Brannagh). This movie is based on the true story about the expedition to the South Pole and the crew on the ship Endurance. But the ship strikes disaster in Antarctica and the ship gets stuck in the ice. Now Schakleton must get his crew to safety.

This movie feels long, very long. But I would lie if I said that was because the movie is boring. But some parts drag to build some atmosphere. It is really hard to comment on a movie like this because the movie hasn’t really done anything wrong. The character Shackleton is written so well that you really feel the pain with him when the disaster strikes. I wish that this movie focused more on him and not so much on all other people around.

It’s a good movie, but I wouldn’t bring this one over to a friend and say: “Dude! We totally must see this Schackleton guy!”

The Core (2003)

2011-03-26T04:12:00.002+01:00

This movie The Core is (2003) is one of those movies that you find in the bargain bin, don’t think that it will be any good but still buy it because of it price. The bargain bin is a kind of roulette, a game a chance and I am so grateful for participating in that game. It was actually not that bad.

This movie is about a situation when the earth’s core stops spinning. This is a great disaster since this means that the earth’s magnetic field is vanishing and will be exposed. Now a team of scientists must by some means take themselves to the earth’s core and make it spin again.

How do they do it? By taking a laser drilling submarine of course! The laser drilling submarine is made of a new material called Unobtanium, a material that gets stronger the more pressure it becomes exposed to. This is not to be confused with the Unobtanium from the movie Avatar (2009)… I think…
Anyway… The plan to restart the core is to set off a group of the world’s largest nuclear bombs at the core and let the waves created in the mantle set the core in motion.

The characters Dr. Josh Keyes(Aaron Eckhart) and Major Rebecca Childs(Hillary Swank) in the laser drilling submarine.

This movie is a good popcorn movie. Yeah some of the physics is totally wrong and the concept of a laser drilling submarine is weird. But it is also a very cool laser drilling submarine! The actors are god at portraying the characters and the dialog is almost never boring. And of course I shall not forget to mention the song in the credits, it’s awesome! In short the movie have kind of a dumb premise, but a really atmospheric dumb premise.

Really, if you are bored and have nothing to do, give this movie a shoot. I don’t think that it will disappoint you.

Highlander II: The Quickening (1991)

2011-03-26T02:34:00.001+01:00

I am going to start with this… I have never seen the original Highlander from 1986. But I have seen its sequel Highlander II: The quickening (1991) many times before. So I think that I have a rare opportunity to give this movie a review on its own merits only.

The movie takes place in the year 2024 and earth is under a protective shield since the earth’s own ozone layer is destroyed. The shields creator, Connor MacLeoud (Christopher Lambert), created the shield in 1994 because of a promise he hid to his wife who died because of the sun. But now there are rumors of that the ozone layer have repaired itself and the shield is no longer needed.

There are two plots in this movie. The first is about Connor and a group if terrorists fight the shield cooperation to shut down the shield. The second plot is the one that every highlander fan hates, the Zeist plot.

Yes, Connor MacLeoud, the scotish highlander, is in fact an alien from planet Zeist. He participated in a rebellion against a general called Katana (Michael Ironside). The rebellion was a failure and as a penalty, Connor and the rebellion leader (Sean Connery) amongst others gets send to earth where they become immortal. The only way to kill an immortal is to cut off his head.

After 500 years Connor where the last immortal on earth and he could choose to either return to Zeist or grow old on earth. Connor of course chooses to stay on earth. Now in the year 2024, when Connor is an old man, general Katana decides to travel to earth and end Connors life.

I can understand why fans of the previous movie Highlander (1986) are disappointed and even hating it. But I, who have never seen any other highlander movie, am satisfied with this movie. It is not great but I can’t say that it is bad either.

Sean Connery is always fun to watch in any movie and the lead actor Christopher Lambert is a decent actor. It is a fun action flick with some cool sci-fi ideas. I think the problem is that maybe this idea didn’t have to be a sequel to Highlander.

I would recommend that you see this movie once and kind of forget what the title says.

My Final Fantasy

Today I got these items in my mail!
I imported the game Final Fantasy and the strategy guide from USA.
I have tested it a little already and it sure has the 8-bit retro feeling to it. The first impression: very good.
