Zombie Events For Charity

So there are two really good Zombie events coming in Oct and they are getting money for charity which is always an awesome thing and I totally encourage people to come along, have a great time and why not help out a good cause or two while you are at it?

 

World Zombie Day

Held in London on the 13th of October is a zombie themed pub crawl!

This event is raising money for 'St.Mungos' and will have a midnight screening of a horror movie, lots of fun along the way and live bands.

 

I have my own page set up to donate money. I will be going in my Bill from LEFT 4 DEAD costume so if you feel like donating abit to my page for the charity MY CHARITY PAGE thanks all in advance. And see you there!

 

This one has just came to my attention. It's also a zombie themed walk but with a twist! it's on the 27th of October which sadly clashes with an event I am already going to but I think everyone should try, it sounds interesting and is  new spin on the typical walks we see.

 

Price is £25 per head but this all goes to the St John Ambulance team. Another very worth while cause!

 

Interesting...

Well while being vain and looking at my stats..

Really?

Audition

(1997 and translated to English in 2009)

By  Ryu Murakami

 

 

First things first. I have never ever struggled to read a book as much as I did this one, not cus it's some badly translated item or really gory or hard to read but it's like a massive cock tease, you know from the movie shit will happen but it takes so long to get anywhere... ugh..

 

Anyway review.

 

The book is 200 pages long and I very much recall that the action did not start until page 173 so for those 27 pages that aren't dull as fuck, they are rushed. It really felt like at the start of the book he had all the time in the world and even went into detail on NBA matches the main guy was watching on TV then at the last page it's wrapped up very fast, very sloppy and causes a 'whatthefuck' when you finish it.

 

People, this is a boring book. It teases you in places, small hints of this girls horrid sordid past but then it just carries on being boring.

 

The story is highly rich and successful single parent Aoyama wants to re-marry and him and his friend decide to do it in the form of a false audition to get loads of pretty talented 'perfect' in Aoyama's eyes woman.

 

He pretty much decides from the get go that the girl for him is Yamasaki Asami who his friend keeps telling him is a bad idea, something doesn't sit right, the facts are wonky etc etc.

 

But he's got his love goggles on and ignores his friend and carries on taking her drinking to pricey meals and oh yes we have to hear every fancy meal in detail and every fucking detail about the way Yamasaki Asami  looks and moves.. I have a funny feeling the author may have been into her going by how it's written.

 

So Yamasaki Asami  is told that the thing she auditioned for crashed and burned but she's just happy to be with him blah... she's in his eyes THE PERFECT WOMAN. They go on holiday together and have sex.. I have never read a book that mentions 'HER LUST CRAZED PUSSY' in my life, I thought I was reading 50 shades of shite.

 

The sex scene is well written but not interesting, more author boners for his own character.. She soon vanish without a trace.

 

And here comes page 173 where you see her true colours and shit goes down. Now, the gore when it gets to it, is detailed and great and made me cringe and gasp in places, was horrid. I mean if you wanna read the book just simply skip to page 173 and carry on from there or watch the just as boring movie and fast forward to the last half hour.

 

It's such a shame it's so boring as the writing itself is good and the gore when it gets there is amazing. Also like I said, the last page looks like a rush it was pretty much 'so this chick I just killed.. whats that about?' 'oh nothing'  'Oh ok, cool' the fucking hell?

 

But moral of the story is, don't date a woman you know little about and is perfect or else you'll end up missing a foot and with a dead dog.

 

Plot: 2.5/5

Gore: 5/5

Pacing: 0/5

Writing: 4/5

Deadman Wonderland

Deadman Wonderland

(2011)

12 Eps long with 1 OVA

 

So I was bored and wanted to watch an anime and my partner suggested something that started with D and I skimmed so god awful tittles then this one came up, I'd heard a few friends mention this in the past so I had some idea that it was more then likely not utter fucking crap so I gave it a shot.

 

Plot

'A massive earthquake ravaged Japan's mainland and destroyed most of Tokyo, sinking three-quarters of the city into the ocean. Ten years later, the story shifts to Ganta Igarashi, a seemingly ordinary student attending Nagano Prefecture's middle school. As an escapee, a survivor of the great earthquake, Ganta has no memories of the tragedy and has lived a normal life. This all changes when a strange person covered in blood and crimson armor floats through his classroom windows. Grinning madly, the Red Man massacres Ganta's entire class but instead of killing him, embeds a red crystal shard in Ganta's chest. Within days of the massacre, Ganta is declared the sole suspect. Following a quick unfair trial, Ganta is sentenced to death and is incarcerated in Deadman Wonderland, a massive theme park like prison'

 

So yeah our main guy Ganta is falsely accused of killing all his class and framed by the massive cock that was meant to be his lawyer but was the warden of 'Deadman Wounderland' he was playing some shitty tricks to get everyone like that in the prison.

 

So he now has magic powers because n good anime doesn't have powers or huge fight scenes, am I right? Now he's in prison and bumps into a thief who steals from him but they some how become best buddies tho thief guy is working for the warden.

 

The for some reason no one bats an eye when this crazy childish pretty much naked albino woman is in an all men's section of the prison.. if this was a real all men's prison she'd have gotten raped the moment she stepped in.

 

 

She is so fucking annoying! I guess every anime needs an annoying female in it or it'll loose half the fanbase.. or something.. either way 'Shiro' which means 'white' the annoying childish freaky albino chick is Ganta's CHILDHOOD FRIEND clichecliche.

 

Every prisoner has a collar on and it's very Battle Royal in the fact that death row inmates must earn 'candy' which is an antidote for a poison in the collar, if they don't then they die.. Also prisoners can earn money and buy stuff. This idea if pretty original but also.. if their on death row just kill them?

 

The creepy guy who runs the show also has some odd pedoy vibe as his room is always full of toys.. he creeps me out. So anyway he's watching Ganta like a hawk.

 

Soon we have a fun game called the DOG RACES where prisoners can enter for GRAND PRIZES! but because our power owning 14 year old is in it there is a deadly side and basically everyone dies.

 

 

 

So there are games like that.. in this Deadman Wounderland and people flock to watch it and it's oh such a great event. Also the thing that killed his friends and his whole class is something he called the RED MAN and has realised that the RED MAN is the reason why he has his powers and that he is somewhere in this prison.

 

So the story goes Ganta has powers and he gets moved to a secret cell block G where other blood users are kept and also told to fight against each other, the losers play the penalty game and loose limbs or parts... nothing like seeing someone getting their eyeball ice cream scooped out.

 

And every 'Deadman' has a birds code name.

 

Now I won't tell you ALL about the plot as I wanna leave you some fun! but the first nine eps are great, it's a good story, very deep if not a little.. wtf with great battle scenes. Our main char cries.. alot but he IS 14 and in a prison with some very scary people so can you blame him?

 

Ganta's cool blood powers.

 

The fights like I said are epic and in this prison you see some very scary mother fuckers, nut jobs and general messed up things.

 

I think the show is great until this bellend shows up

Then the show goes all mental silly UBER ANIME on us and the plot just gets stupid to me.

 

But alot of gore and death and well styled, what I like in an anime.

 

WATCH: DEADMAN WONDERLAND

 

Art: 4.5/5

Plot: 4/5

Characters: 3/5

Scares: 0/5

Gore: 3.5/5

Overall enjoyment: 4.7/5

The Possession

So like a fly to shit a new horror movie came out and I decided I had to go and see it but hey I've seen DEVIL INSIDE so nothing can be so bad I loose faith in the genre.

 

I really wanted to see this as to me it felt very much like a 'Pandora's Box' style plot. An evil box that you open and nothing but unhappiness comes out? yeah sounds like Pandora's box to me. I don't know if this was the vibe the movie was going for or ir anyone else other then me felt that way but hey, maybe that's why I enjoyed it.

 

Oh and an evil singing box? alot like Jumanji also! This movie could have done with some Robbin Williams but everything is made better with the added comedy of that man and his gorilla chest. Anyway..

 

The review of the magical evil singing Jew box starts.

 

So there is this old lady who lives in something from a hoarders dream as there is crap everywhere, on her fireplace is a large wooden box which she seems to not like very much and to be honest the singing in an off tone would piss me off too.

 

It pisses her off so much that she grabs a hammer and is about to fuck it up when the evil box decides to pull some sweet invisible wrestling movies and power drives the old cow through a class table. Bitch don't go messing with no box's singing, mmkay?

 

We see our main family next a mother who looks like Julia Roberts plus 10 years and melting and a father who is super cool hip dad with his thick rimmed glasses who are dealing with a break up and a divorce which is outting stress on their youngest Emily and then their oldest who is just typical angsty I HATE YOU MOM pre teen. Yeah I remember no one elses names as no one else matters other then Emily.

 

So awesome dad has bought a new house and his two kids come to stay with him, they have a road trip and come across a yard sale of the son of the old woman who got the shit kicked out of her by a limbless box. The oldest reminds her father he needs plates and they stop.

 

Evil singing box decides to catch Emily's eye and she asks her dad for it. Now this is the most annoying and unrealistic thing about the whole movie.. $55 for some second hand plates, a  giant old ugly box and a hat? the fuck is he smoking paying that for some shit? I'd get some new plates for way less and save my kids soul from this shitty looking box.

 

Box means business

 

So now the girl has the box in her possesion she tries to open it but there is no way for the thing to be opened. $55 for a box that doesn't even fucking open? I'd go back to the guy who sold it to me and chuck it through his window.

 

Some how the girl is able to open it and inside is a small mirror on the lid and some cool little pots with bits and pieces inside which range from the most ghetto fab ring, a tooth and a toy or some sort and hey being an 8 year old or something a lost tooth and a blinging ring are just want you wanted!

 

She starts to complain that she doesn't feel very well, when her sister asks she simply replies 'I don't feel like myself..'

 

The movie goes from life with dad and his girls to his girls with the mother and their new douche bag dentist step father type person and how everyone is under the stress of this divorce and how it's messing up their kids lives, all that fun domestic shite.

 

Whenever with the box Emily starts to act odd, getting really over protective of the box, asking her dad on the phone how her box is doing, she doesn't want anyone to touch it..

 

Her dad ignores this until she starts acting really odd, eating really fast and stabbing him when he tries to take food off of her... man you do not get between a kid and her pancakes, your just asking for it really, if he'd lost his hand it would be his own fault.

 

One of the other odd things that happens is her reflection in the small box mirror which also gets the Dad worried about the box but nothing worries him more then when the house gets infected with loads of locus and Emily is just chilling in her room covered in them.

 

Emily starts to become withdrawn and abit of an asshole at school and when a boy takes her box she flips her shit, screams down the place and attacks the boy who took her box. Anyone who comes between Emily and her shiny new wooden best friend suffers a comical fate of being killed in a stupid way.

 

Dat hangover..

 

So dad takes the box off of her and chucks it away but by now there have been hints such as over eating, voice changing and general seeing fingers trying to come out her mouth that make you realise.. she's not the only one in her body and that spirt does not take kindly to take chucking the box away. The girl goes mental and powered by a super cranky old woman goes and finds her box.

 

So the dad realises this is wrong there is something messing with his child and he seeks help at the school he works at's history dept, finds out the box is evil anew Jewish and goes to some awesome Jew guy for help, the box is explained to be a holder for an evil spirit which is locked inside, he's given a book to help and get rid of the spirt.

 

So mother still thinks dad is crazy and takes her kid to the hospital and suddenly they notice something really...really creepy.. But don't worry now they believe the dad and Jew guy comes to save the day!

 

So replace Christian exorcism for Jewish one instead... and to me it just looks like the Jewish fella is humping the girl.. over and over.. very awkward..

 

And with some creepy and typical exorcism stuff the nasty evil Jewish lady is expelled from the little girl and hey the mother and father get back together and everything is happy! Yay!

 

Till the Jewish guy taking the evil box away is in a crash and the box is some how thrown so far from the car where anyone could pic it up..

 

Screaming squeal here.

 

So I liked it, best horror in the movies for awhile but still same old same old in the world of being possessed.

 

Acting: 2/5

Plot: 3/5

Gore: 2/5

Scares: 3/5

Overall enjoyment: 3.5/5

SAW - The Ride

Come on my username is Jigsaw how could I not mention this at some point? Today me and some friends went to Thrope Park and basked in the lovely sun and long sweaty lines and I really LOVE the SAW ride. The maze is shite from what I remember so we really didn't bother with that.

 

 

 

I think it's still one of Thropes biggist rides after all it has it's own fasttrack ticket price (£5 if I recall)

 

I think they put alot of thought into this ride, more so then the others [well before SWARM came along anyway] since not many rides have this very built up and highly over done que line.

 

They even have a car that gives you 'real' radio feed of what's going on in this huge made to look abandoned building.

 

Might not look like much but I think it really works for the SAW theme, looks like a real place Jigsaw would hang out and do his work.

 

The que is always so long as it is one of the best rides and the line like I said is highly decorated... just with odd crap and some rusty shit but it does all suit the feel.

 

The que kinda looks more like a prison camp then a line though that makes it feel pretty creepy and a fair bit grim when your stuck in it for about an hour or more. Least no fucking line cutters..

 

 

 

 

 

 

So how do you like loads of useless shite while you wait?

 

The ride itself sits 4 people in a row, very comfy seats and it doesn't shake the shit out of you like alot of the rides it's fairly smooth running.

 

It also looks pretty boss and scary.

 

I think as a new rider and old the solid slow going up the side while there is a count down and the voice of Jigsaw is nerv wraking.

 

But so fucking fun.

 

Inside you get alot of things like this, TV screens with Billy the puppet on, voices telling you things, screams and also large shotguns. You see Billy a few times on the ride and he looks just like in the movie so nice touch.

 

SAW the ride doesn't last long as most rised but it's fun, whooshy and just enough different things to keep you wanting to go on it every time you vist. The build up in the que isn't bad either oh and the best gift shop for a ride ever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DO MUCH AWESOME SAW SHIT! even the DVDs it's so great. One of my friends got a pen, another a huuuuge mug and I got a mug that looks like blood, very much my new morning cup of tea mug : D

 

So the day was fun and if your in Thrope Park or thinking of going.. I def say get to SAW early and fast or get a fast track, it's one of the best rides and smooth too.

 

 

I'd give it a 5/5
