I think i’ll never say thanks enough to Guillaume for my new love:

Six String Samurai

I just finished watching it about 15 minutes ago, and I already have bought the comic book made about it (or vice-versa… who cares). I’m a big fan of well-produced hard labored B-movies, and i’ll tell you, this is the new king.

I was kind of tired of have my good old Evil Dead in the top chart, well it just got bumped by Six String Samurai. To put it in a couple of words; It really, rock. Rockabilly style.. Everything is almost perfect. Excellent acting, AMAZING music choice (The Red Elvises, i’m downloading their Cd’s right now), Samurai, 50’s Buddy-holly lookalike and post-nuclear vibe? Can’t get better then this.

The main character is fucking great. From the suit to the guitar and the shoes (“Hey, nice shoes.”), everything is right on the spot for a rockabilly king. The acting is almost perfect (the attitude is just right on) and the fighting is really good (you’d actually believe the guy knew how to fight). Well, the guitar playing seemed a tad fake but hey ! he looks damned good! And the bad guy is just perfecly cheezy.

The low points are most definately the gruntings of the kid (thought not SUPER annoying… it’s still a tad bad.), the voice over (lips don’t always match and the voice seems low-key a bit…) and that the story seems a tad thin and that some characters are not used to their full potential (the nuclear family that looks cannibal-ish/zombie would’ve added much more to the movie with their presence).

I’ll try to cut this short (since my movie partner’s already drooling on my bed), I loved every second of it. I’m highly dissapointed that the director/write didn’t seem to do much else (the main actor only did kung-fu movies before that ! Hahaha).

MAL’s score?

Acting: 9/10
Music: 9/10
Film-style (camera angles and such): 8/10
Originality: 12/10
Re-watch value: 7/10
One-liners: 8/10 (still not quite Evil dead’s oneliner… but close)

Overall:

9/10

Sweet-ass rockabilly shoes.

And suggestion

So I started taking pictures again but with the same concept as always; I take my camera with me at random moment and I just snap my friends away in different moments and such.

So tell me what you think about those (They are huge… might take a while to load):

Mind you, my “models” usually aren’t models at all and they also usually hate it hehe. I also know those are far from perfect… but I ain’t a real photograph either ;).
Also, do NOT get your pictures developped at a “Centre Japonnais de la photo”. They do HORRIBLE work. They edited my pictures to such a state I almost wanted to scream at them! They blasted the contrast and fucked the lighting. I mean I took pictures at 11 pm at night, and the blasted them so much that they look like they were took at 6 am. Rah!

Yes, it is time again. The deadites must unites !!!

Yes! YES!!! Evil dead is back in Toronto … and in my head … that means montreal is next on the list !!! and even MUCH better:

Btw, bunch of crap in my life (mostly work oriented) so I haven’t got much time to write articles… but don’t worry… i’m backing them up on paper… and once the flow starts going … wheee!

If you have to watch only a video today, this is it:

The guy simply took a picture of himself. Everyday. For 6 years.

The first time I saw it … my jaw simply dropped. I just love it. It’s so simple, without pretention. That’s what art is to me. Just a simple, great idea. Fuck the 90 pages thesis. Just by looking at it … it’s incredibly overwhelming.

For me, I feel like I live those with him. I get older as he gets older. I feel. I love how his emotion never really changes. Also, how the background is never quit ethe same… sometime simillar but with little changes. Or, the moments that are clearly from an other area. All these little parts… I feel that they are stories of their own.

Anyways. I love it and I wish one day, i’ll do something as simple and as beautiful.

Enjoy.

I’m really not a patient man … but these dudes sure are.

Thanks to Celine for that link. It’s really awesome.
