Gold Digger Killer


Synopsis
.
'....When Imani is fired from her job her life gets turned upside down. She abandons her boy friend and goes in pursuit of a man that can provide for her. Not ready for the contained life of a care for women, she become the ultimate victim. When it comes time to seek revenge , Imani comes for the whole misogynistic system.

.....I don't really like trashing independent movies because I know how hard the film makers work to get them produced in the first place. Unfortunately for this hunk of shit I have no choice. This was without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen, extremely bad acting, horrible script, the editing on both film and sound was beyond armature. I'd like to think this was done as a first year art school project, at least then there'd be an excuse, but it wasn't. Even in the most nasty low budget of movies there is normally an effort to put together a good death scene, but they even f*cked that up. This movie has no redeeming qualities what-so-ever, I lasted about an hour then I turned it off. When I read the back of the box I saw it was distributed by Warner Brothers, I guess that's what fooled me into buying it, thank God it only cost 5 bucks, like the old saying goes, "Ya get what ya pay for."

Star Trek Movie premiere



Tonight's the night !!! ...As I write this blog all across the planet Trekkie's and geeks alike are lining up at theaters for what I expect to be the blockbuster film of the summer. If the Wolverine pulled in $87-million over last weekend then I can pretty much guarantee at least 120 million from Star Trek, I myself could not give them my money fast enough. The actors have been jetting around the world all week promoting the new film, stopping off for premiers in Tokyo, Paris, London, New York and Los Angels plus many other cities. This is the movie event of the year I can't wait to see it. By all accounts J.J. Abrams has done a superb job of re imaging this franchise, so far only about twenty critics have reported in but all reviews have been positive. I'm very excited, I've been monitoring the progress of this film for a quite some time, tonight is the first night the general public get to see it...beam me up Scotty.

Ad Astra 2009

Last month myself and a few friends attended Ad Astra 2009, an annual event held in Toronto. This is a three day convention that hosts a mix of professional writers, editors, artists, costumers, scientists, and experts on a variety of subjects within the Science fiction fantasy field. It was allot of fun and the turnout was spectacular, this years guest of honour was author Timothy Zahn, other guests included Joanne Ellen Hanson, David Drake, Kent Burles, Melyssa Ade, Nigel Bennet and Tamora Pierce . I've included a few shot from the even below, I'm sure in the future this will become a regular haunt for us...
