PARADISE NOW- SHORT FILM REVIEW



5 Stars!!!


I watched a film the other night that I think was great. I went over to my buddy Aaron's to watch his latest foreign film he picked up from work. I would have to give this film a pretty high rating (hell I gave the thing 5 stars). Watching this film really opened my mind on the whole terrorist life and this film really painted a new picture of my whole out look on sucide bombers. Paradise Now follows Palestinian childhood friends Said and Khaled who live in Nablus and have been recruited for suicide attacks in Tel Aviv. It focuses on what would be their last days together.

The film is very beautiful, the shots are amazing and the whole story really sucks you in. Could you image people you trusted telling you that you would have to die for something but you weren't able to tell your family? One line that stood out in the movie for me was when one of the men asked, "what will happen after the explosion?". The man answers, "Two angels will come for you." Wow that is some crazy stuff. He goes on to tell them that they will be heroes?! All I can say that if you haven't seen this movie you really need too. Remember though this movie is all in subtitles so.... That may be a downer for some. Anyway check it out.

Here is some more info on the film PARADISE NOW

New Rambo Movie

With all the sequels and remakes coming out I really didn't think there was any movies left to make sequels to. Then a friend at work told me that they were making a new RAMBO movie. I could believe that Sylvester Stallone was physical able to act in the whole movie. I mean he is pretty old. But hey he is still in the game remaking his old movies. Rumor has it that Sylvester Stallone is even directing it. Crazy. Any who check out this trailer it was really a pain in the but to find. Warning it is a little graphic.

After watching that trailer I really can't wait to see this movie. It looks pretty sweet! I really like when he blows away that guy with the machine gun. Crazy.
