I should have seen 28 Weeks Later 28 weeks later
28 Weeks Later just about sucked. I guess no sequel will be as good as the original, especially if Alex Garland hasn't written a novel that inspires a screenplay that in turn gets made into a decent movie by Danny Boyle.
Beware, I hint at some plot lines, so if you want to be surprised in the movie, just skip the rest and just know that you are better off seeing "Knocked Up," "Evan Almighty" or "On the Road with Judas."
A lot of the cinematic techniques were copied from 28 Days Later, but then again I don't know how else you would do it. What was worse was that they had to go an reuse the graphically horrific act of the pressing the thumbs into one's eye-sockets, as Cillian Murphy had mastered so well in the first movie; it was pretty stale done by Robert Carlyle's character. By the way, I'm a fan of Robert Carlye, but I could have gone without him after the first 30 minutes. And side note, if my husband left me to be eaten alive by infected zombies because he was too scared to save me, then somehow survive that attack, and then see him later in a hospital, I would tell him I want a divorce [see the movie and you'll understand why]. Carlyle as an infected stalker zombie that solely follows his kids everywhere so he can personally kill them seemed a bit far fetched. The character Doyle should have taken the kids and left Scarlett behind...but that would not make it possible to hint at another sequel to be set in Paris; let me guess... 28 Hours Later. Why oh why did they have to ruin the whole movie with those last 15 seconds!
In all this movie was just silly more than scary. You may jump in your seat once or twice because an infected jumps out of nowhere to attack...but that's about it. I was not terrified to go to sleep that night...so that means the movie did not do it's job.

You've got to see "On the Road with Judas"!
Saw this awesomely phemnomenal film called "On the road with Judas" by JJ Lask at the Seattle International Film Festival. Brillant! I loved all the characters, Judas, Francis, JJ, Rubin. The the non-linear narrative structure was refreshing to see; finally another film that doesn't spoon feed you, and encourages you to watch it another time to pick up on the little things that you missed.
To give you a taste of the wonderful confusion that unfolds...it's a movie within the movie about a book, that may more not be true.
It's got Aaron Rull (the guy that played Kip from Napoleon Dynamite). His portrayl of Judas is so unexpectedly powerful! And Kevin Corrigan as JJ, is as usual, hilariously great!
And it was situated and filmed in NYC. That makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I miss you oh so much New York. It was good to be able to recognize streets and locations within the film. It even had an exterior shot of Yaffa (cafe).
We stuck around for JJ Lask to do a Q&A with the remaining audience members. He said he didn't go to film school, didn't even finish highschool...but he's been an editor for 12 years and this was his first film he directed...quite impressive. He said he's known Kevin Corrigan for 10 years...so that means he's in the know with some peeps...so I guess that makes up for no formal training.
If you're in the NYC area you have to get tickets and go see "On the Road with Judas" at BAM June 7th, 8th, and or 9th. And tell all your friends to go with you. I want this film to do so well so I can get it on DVD!

Kauai Family Restaurant
Kauai Family Restaurant you are the best! Had the best Kalua pig and cabbage lunch plate with a side of poi and lomi salmon.
I wish I could eat it everyday! And this novelty sign was hilarious.

Zach Braff + New Jersey
He's always talking about New Jersey...I don't miss NJ...but at least I can proudly say I know what he's talking about.
"Big Girls Don't Cry"
Personally, I don't like Fergie, and this song is not as catchy as her other singles recently...but how can you not enjoy Milo Ventimiglia with fake tattoos and his long hair tied back in a ponytail. Alexis Bledel should be kicking herself right now.
NYC crime is getting ridic!
Everyday I hear about some nutty perv doing horrific things in this city and it's making me scared, more so for my friends. Yesterday some man attacked a 23 year old woman as she was entering her apartment on the Upper East Side (not the Park Ave UES...rather the more affordable, closer to York Ave, side). Her and her roommate's screaming scared the guy away.
I think everyone should carry around mace and have it in your hand at least 4 blocks away from your apartment. And a whistle (if you don't think you'll be able to scream loud enough). And know to scream out "FIRE" or "FREE BEER" if someone ever attacks you...because everyone's attention will be grabbed with those words over "AHHH," "NOOO" or "HELP!"
And then the other day some skeevy naked man attacked a 16 year old girl in a Macy's dressing room in Herald Square! The girl was trying on some clothes in the dressing room and some guy ripped open the door and grabbed her. They caught the sketchy guy in another room putting his clothes back on and smoking a cigarette. Geez, this is why I prefer shopping online.
I suggest every female living in NYC buy at least one of these ...
Mini Stun Gun--$44.06 (defendingwomen.com)It's the size of a cell phone... very Veronica Mars...if some crazie is following you or attacks you...then he's asking for a high voltage shock
Screecher Aerosol Alarm--$9.95 (safety-n-protection.com)...it shoots out mace and emits a ear piercing sound that is easily recognized as an emergency call for help.
Door stop Alarm--$15.00 (safety-n-protection.com)
