			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So a couple of years ago we met Borat and we all laughed and got offended. Now we meet another one of Sacha Baron Cohen&#8217;s the last of 3 of his characters. Ali G is the first and waaaay back in the day like 2003 or something he hit us with Ali G in the hood but it went nowhere. He is HUGE in the UK but not so much in America where Americans have a different sense of humor.</p>
<p>Ok so BRUNO</p>
<p>The movie is about a gay Austrian tv fashion show host that screws up big in Milan during a run way show and ends up getting fired. He then figures that he will become a celebrity in Los Angeles and so he goes around doing really nasty and disgusting things.</p>
<p>I kinda knew what to expect when i went in to see this but at the same time it wasnt what i really expected. I expected a gay dude trying to get famous and annoying real life people, which happened, but i did not expect to see a gay porn. I didnt know whether to laugh or gag at some of the stuff that was going on. Like i said before, im not against gay ppl im just not gay so im not into that kind of stuff but man was there some anti-gay ppl in the theatre. It was weird I mean I wonder what they expected to see when they went in there. They were drinking their haterade all crazy and saying really inappropriate things. I dont think they realize Bruno is only a stage act. But ya way to much man penis in this. Not as much as Hostel II though.</p>
<p>With that said I think he takes it WAAAY too far to get a laugh. This movie was funny but it was no where near as funny as BORAT. I would say to wait for the dvd.</p>
<p>It cost me $10.50 for a student ticket!!!! That Sucked!!</p>
<p>ALSO!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Proposal</p>
<p>Ok so Bullock and Reynolds team up for this romantic comedy&#8230;i guess you can call it that. It wasnt to romantic or comedic. But its about a big time New York book plushing editor played by Bullock who is a big cunt and is hated by everyone especially her assistant Reynolds. Worse comes to worse and bc she&#8217;s Candaien aye she is getting deported bc her visa expires and she tries to fake a wedding with Reynolds to stay in the country.  So they go visit his family in US canada (Alaska) and thats when it starts.</p>
<p>Ok so the movie runs about two hours. Its a little less and I want to say it was funny but haha funny and not LOL funny. There is some cg that looks bad but in a good way. A comical bad way. It envolves a baby husky. I dont know what else to say. I mean it wasnt that funny and it wasnt romantic. It was a disney movie so I though that the nude scene with the two was a little inappropriate but whatever. You dont see anything its just super implied.</p>
<p>So Im going to say to wait on this for TV or DVD</p>
<p>Public Enemies</p>
<p>Ok so this one puts together two of the biggest movie stars of the moment. I say that bc they have been the leads in several of the last big movies. They are finally together and Bale FINALLY drops the stupid Batman accent he also had in Salvation.</p>
<p>Alright so the movie takes place in 1933 and John Dillinger played by Depp is a paroled thief who decides to go big time with his friends and start taking out banks. At the same time Hoover, before he was president, creates a task force to take out the crime bosses in Chicago and around the country by putting Bale on the hunt.</p>
<p>The entire movie is back and forth and cat and mouse. The fight scenes were pretty lame bc they were all done from a far distance and the bank robberies werent even cool. The shoot outs were basically lets show some shots of a guy with a tommy gun shooting it then lets show someone else and now lets go back to that first guy and now back to the second and then a third and back to the first.The sound for the dialogue and effects were bad and even worse was the camera movement. Think blair witch. Then bc most of the movie takes place at night its grainy as shit. There are some similiar events from the actual life of these guys but a lot is changed for the hollywoodness of it all. Michael Mann really dropped the ball on this one. I usually like his movies but man did this movie suck. I almost fell asleep at a 2pm show. It was just slow paced too and it was just bad. Ill say it was the worse movie ive seen in 2009. Oh and the love interest wasnt even good looking. Bc this movie sucked and its a historical event and we all know whats happens im going to kill the ending with this story.</p>
<p>So im leaving the theatre and i see an old old old man and im wondering if he was like, &#8220;I remember all this shit&#8221; so i leave and as im trying to validate my parking some old old woman says, &#8220;Through out the entire movie i was just waiting for him to go to the movie theatre&#8230;i remember him getting killed there.&#8221; mind you this was in 1935-36 so this woman must have been at least 80+ Oh and thats another thing i didnt like, there was no time line in the movie.</p>
<p>Ya stay away not today disco lady.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Transformers Revenge of the Fallen</p>
<p>From Director Michael Bay comes the Transformers sequel and this time its longer!</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>Ok well the movie runs about 2:40 and in my opinion it doesnt seem like it. Theres no stupid Return of the King fade to black every so often 2+hrs in to trick you into thinking its over to only have it go on another hour.</p>
<p>Fallen takes place two years after the first one ended and in that time Prime and other Autobots have teamed up with the U.S Military secret force to go around the world and take out any left over Decepticons. At this point Sam has banged Fox several times and we all missed it. Im sure a sex tape will come out on the net some time soon&#8230;.</p>
<p>Well Sam is off to college and finds a piece of the Allspark in his sweater and well once he touches it it puts all sorts of crazy info into his head and he goes crazy on and off.</p>
<p>At this time the Decepticons find Megatron, bring him back to life and thats when the shit happens.</p>
<p>The movie is action packed and brings more to the transformers story line. The fights also look better bc unlike part one the fights are done from a wider angle so you&#8217;re not so close up on all the damn moving parts the machines have not allowing you to tell what the hell was going on. Megan Fox looks smoking hot seeing that her tattoos are covered up and ya she&#8217;s hot.</p>
<p>There were some stupid things bc they went for a bit too many cheap laughs and the twins were black. lol if you see it you&#8217;ll see what i mean.</p>
<p>The cg looked great and the editing was just fine. The world shots looked cool as this movie takes you around the globe.</p>
<p>all in all i liked it and i say you should watch it. go stimulate the economy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok so i went in and saw the matinee of this thing today. I originally worked on the trailer for this thing but never saw more than that. I thought the trailer was cool so i hoped the movie would be the same. McG directed this and you know him from Charlies Angel&#8217;s.</p>
<p>The action scene in this movie arnt as far fetched or ridiculous as they were in CA&#8217;s but they were cool.</p>
<p>So the movie takes place in 2018 and it starts off 4 days before the Resistance is going to launch a massive offensive on SKYNET in San Fransisco. What sucks about the story is that its all based on time travel so the story line changed in part 2 and 3 and now in part 4. In this new future John Connor is NOT the leader of the Resistance but instead a commander in one of its Armies. The Resistance is run by a submarine. So in this movie the machines are gathering humans to harvest them and create t-800 (Arnold&#8217;s) and the goal is to rescue Kyle Reese (played by the russian dude in Star Trek)&#8230;..Kyle Reese is John Connors dad if you dont remember. So if Reese dies Connor dies and never existed to begin with and then paradox blah blah blah&#8230;.</p>
<p>ya and then we meet Marcus Wright, who is an andvanced t-800 type. Well the movie is pretty predictable but the action was good. There were plenty of action scenes and though none of them were epic they were pretty good. they were more face paced scenes cut in with some dialogue. Never just straight action.  You will recognize a lot of the lines as they were all from previous movies or just T2.</p>
<p>The movie runs about 1:48. I thought it could of been longer. The movie has very little story and it basically gets rid of it in the beginning.  There is nothing after the credits so dont stick around.</p>
<p>Arnold is in the movie&#8230;kinda of.  Its a CG Arnold. But ya if you like the series go see this. the cg isnt bad and its a good time. A little too short but hey i usually complain about movies being to long.</p>
<p>In other news!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ok wow. Its been a while since Ive reviewed a movie and for good reason I think. Ok update. Since the last review Ive seen &#8220;A Haunting in Connecticut&#8221;, &#8220;The Fast and The Furious&#8221;, Ive been laid off and I just saw Crank 2. Hmmmm oh ya and all of my friends have been laid off too. 3 of us actually got laid off the same week. Except for Jorg-E&#8230;.he got fired. He got caught stealing boxes on his day off. He was trying to build a club house.</p>
<p>The economy is dieing! Hurry people. For those of you that still have a job do this: PAY OF YOUR CREDIT CARDS&#8230;..buy American products with CASH.</p>
<p>I also produced a Senior Project at CSUN called &#8220;Chinese Checkers&#8221;. I&#8217;ll probably have that up on the site soon. The project is due at the end of the month. Im also prepping for the 48hr film project. No date announced yet but its always in June here in LA.</p>
<p>Man I need a new computer&#8230;..</p>
<p>I graduate in Dec and the state of California has announced that Summer school in the Cal State System will be canceled bc there is no money.</p>
<p>Ok well im starting to swing by the idea of never going to the movies again bc its WAAAAY to expensive. But there are just some movies I have to see on a 70ft screen. But I guess this is why I havnt seen too many movies. I use to go about 3-5 times a month and 5-8 in the summer but movies are too expensive now and they just suck. The gf made me see Haunting in Connecticut. It wasnt great and I had seen a documentary about it on History Channel. Then The Fast and The Furious was really just Fast and Furious 1.5 as it happens like 7 years after part 1 but before part 2. So imagine their characters are like 40 or 50 by the time Tokyo drift came around.</p>
<p>OK</p>
<p>CRANK 2</p>
<p>Crank 1 was cool. I really enjoyed it and Crank 2 is no different. The editing and cinematography is still the same. its all over the place in a good not nauseous way. The story is ridiculous and the plot twists are even more ridiculous but hey its a movie. Its fun and entertaining and it was worth my $9.75 student ticket. I had fun for 2 hours.</p>
<p>Ok so this one takes place right after part 1 ends. He falls out of the chopper, the chinese pick him up and rip out his heart. He wakes up 3 months later with a fake heart bc he is being kept alive so that his other organs may be harvested. The madness continues and havoc starts to come from it as Los Angeles becomes a war zone. From Hollywood to Santa Anita (or was it Hollywood park?) Chev tears it up about every 10 minutes. There are fights and shoot outs as well as sex and car chases every scene. There were just titties everywhere in this movie. Starts off in a whore house, goes to another whore house where he meets that ugly asian chick thats always on TMZ&#8230;.Ling Bai??&#8230; Then he goes to a strip club, he then bangs Amy Smart in public again (looked like Jap porn bc the privates were pixelated&#8230;lol) then he ends up at the bad guys mansion where he has tons of hot chicks walking around topless&#8230;. so ya titties everywhere.</p>
<p>Bc he has a fake heart running on a battery, this time he needs to be electrically charged. No adrenaline this time. Blond Corey&#8230;Corey Haim makes a cameo in this movie as do several characters from part one. I dont know what else to say. I mean Id go see this again if i wasnt broke. I will buy this on blu ray in a few months.</p>
<p>ok now you movie goers in MAY will be having fun. The economy should get stimulated slightly. Every week in May has a major movie being released. The summer blockbusters are coming a month early and all in the same month.</p>
<p>May 1: Wolverine</p>
<p>May 8: Star Trek</p>
<p>May 15: Angels and Demons</p>
<p>May 21: Terminator Salvation (Thursday)</p>
<p>May 29: UP (not a blockbuster but it is PIXAR so it WILL make money and will be good)</p>
<p>There are a handful of &#8220;B&#8221; movies that will hit theatres in May like &#8220;night at the museum 2&#8243; (may 22)&#8230;..&#8221;next day air&#8221;(may 8)&#8230;.&#8221;ghost of girlfriends past&#8221; (May 1)</p>
<p>lol I actually worked on most of these movies before I got laid off.</p>
<p>ok so ya thats whats up for now and Ill be seeing that new Jack Sparrow/Batman movie tomorrow at a screener. Its about robbing banks in the depression era&#8230;.i think&#8230;. ok ill find out tomorrow.</p>

<p>&#8216;Wall-E&#8217;</p>
<p>Now Im sorry. Was it that i did not attend a movie from Sept-Nov (except Rock N Rola) or did nothing at all come out this year? Or is it that only movies released between Thanksgiving and Chritsmas are only considered&#8230;.thats starting to be the trend. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OF THESE MOVIES!!!!  Only movies on here that I have scene were Tropic Thunder and Dark Knight. All the others I&#8217;ve heard of but never was interested enough to see them&#8230;I do want to see Slum Dog Millionaire though. I mean Gran Torino and Dark Knight were suppose to be in the Best Film category but were snubbed.</p>
<p>All the people on everywhere were hating on Dark Knight saying it doesn&#8217;t deserve to be nominated for best Picture bc its a comic book movie. Thats stupid. Hands down it was great and though I have not seen any of the movies being nominated as of today 1/23/09 i can garandamnte you it will be forever known by everyone and have made more money on its opening night than all these nominated movies combined. Go back and read my review on it. The camera work and directing were great. DK was Nominated for best Cinematography/Editing/Make up/Sound/Sound mixing/Visual effects. Academy people are stupid liberal yuppies.</p>
<p>I did the EPK (electronic Press kits) and trailers and dubs for MILK here at work and my older co workers told me the real life story about the events in that movie and after all that I wasnt too interested in seeing it in theatres. They also shot the movie at my school CSUN&#8230;.i also saw some shots of the new star trek movie there last spring break.</p>
<p>Robert Downey Jr gets a nom for his role in Tropic Thunder for playing a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude and he is up against the over hyped Ledger. AGAIN i think Ledger was good in DK but not great. Ok now again all you haters&#8230;step back, stop yelling at the computer and ask yourself this &#8220;IF Ledger was still alive today would i think he did such a great job playing the joker?&#8221; Again i think he was good but not great. He was one component that was placed properly to make that movie great.</p>
<p>Next paycheck I have to go see me some of these &#8216;Best Picture&#8221; movies. I was tempted to see Slum Dog at Arch Light bc it was the only place holding it until it won everything at the Goldne Globes. I just didnt want to blow 16 bux to see it. my co worker Sara said it was good. Who knows&#8230;</p>
<p>So instead of giving a blind perdictionn as to who will win what this year, ill say nothing only bc i havnt seen these uninteresting looking movies.</p>
<p>Any of you guys seen em? If so what do you think?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>-Albert</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK let me start off by telling all you party people about $1 movies! Yes $1 Movies! Where? At Universal City Walk. How? Well tickets are normally $12. Matinees (before 4pm) are $10 and IF and only IF you see an AM movie. (before noon) you get in for $6 (Unless its 3D then its $8). Now whats all this $1 talk about? Well if you decide to park there you can use your parking stub for $5 off and then you have a $1 movie. Ya i know you have to pay $10-12 for parking but thats why you go in a group and split the parking/gas&#8230;. carpool people. But ya even if you just get dropped off or tag along $6 is nutn for a movie and its good every day off the week.</p>
<p>Alrighty then</p>
<p>MALL COP<br />
As you can probably guess I went and saw this at Universal For $1 and had i known it was kid oriented it would of taken my nephew and niece bc it was good. It was a good time.</p>
<p>In the beginning you had Eastwood/Van Damme/Seagal/Stallone/Schwarzenegger and now JAMES!!!</p>
<p>KEVIN JAMES<br />
You all know him from King Of Queens and now he plays a hypoglycemic mall cop who is a single dad trying to protect Black Friday.</p>
<p>The movie is about a mall cop who fails to join the New Jersey State Police and ends up falling for the girl at the wig booth in the mall. Come black friday a group of criminals try to take over the mall and it just so happens that he is there to protect his mall with his flash light and a segway.</p>
<p>The movie is funny. I mean he is a big guy and he knows it and plays well to it and isnt over the top stupid like Chris Farley was. Its fun and clean comedy so its great for the kids and there&#8217;s a lot of wow factors for them as well seeing that the people taking over the mall are all Free Runners and extreme sports ppl who use conveniently placed raps and ledges to grind on launch off with their skateboards and bikes. He uses his wits and knowledge of the mall as well as accidental things to fight them off and well its a good time. I went with 5 21/22 year olds and we all laughed out loud.</p>
<p>I say go watch this for $6/1</p>
<p>BRIDE WARS<br />
ok the girlfriend wanted to go see this and since i figured it be lame guess what? I only paid $6 to watch it. Yes i went back. Im out in this area all the time so i figured id see it here.</p>
<p>This movie is just true to how woman really are. I always get told to shut up and stop yelling and screaming at the tv when my teams arnt performing and to not take it so serious its only a game. Well these bitches were practically UFC fighters. Thats how they really are. You dont understand. Woman take wedding crap so serious. its crazy! Vera Wang this, Tiffany box that and a june Wedding &#8230;&#8230;ugh</p>
<p>ok well this movies stars the Bootylicious Kate Hudson (see her in You,Me and Dupree) and ever so hot Anne Hathaway (see her topless in Havoc..movie sucks though) who play life long best friends who end up getting engaged around the same time and when their venue accidentally gets booked on the same day the claws come out and women start acting like women.</p>
<p>The movie runs a lil less than 2hrs and really the movie wasn&#8217;t slow but it was rather boring. It only gets good in the 2nd half to last 1/3 when they start to sabotage each other. Its a chick flick obviously and really id say &#8220;Stay away not today disco lady&#8221;. Wait for the renatl unless you can get it for $1 at universal like I did.</p>
<p>Not for the guys, especially the guys with the girlfriends who are pushing for a wedding. The male actors in the movie were just like men in life, didnt care about the invitation color bc it doesnt really matter.</p>
<p>Remember Men marry woman hoping they wont change and woman marry men hoping to change them&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>$1 or a rental &#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>GRAN TORINO</p>
<p>Well Well Well<br />
Im back with my reviews and you may or may not care but if you&#8217;re reading then you probably care and well thanks.</p>
<p>ok well Gran Torino is about an elderly korean war vet who&#8217;s wife just died and well he is a FORD American and he is seeing the world take a wrong turn in his every day life. This movie premiered DEC 5 but in only two places in my area and well the ARCH LIGHT was one of them and again fuck arc light 16+ a ticket plus parking is stupid (i saw rock n rolla there tho)</p>
<p>His wife dies, his kids and grand kids are ungrateful sons of bitches, his neighborhood went from working class white Americans in Michigan to lower class asian immigrants.</p>
<p>So Clint Eastwood basically plays a racist war vet who is placed in awkward situations all the time. Maybe it was me and my racist side being at the movies but i was laughing my ass off a lot and so was everyone else. It was just funny the way he spoke bc he spoke like some white old dude from the south. it was funny.</p>
<p>overall the story was good and Eastwood looks like you wouldnt want to mess with him even at the age of like 90. he looked tough. his acting was solid and so was the acting of the other ppl you recognize but the asian kids and his priest were not good at all.</p>
<p>id say wait for this one on Blu Ray</p>
<p>Ok so ive been away from reviews since like august. So happy halloween, thanksgiving, christmas,new years, and everything else. As you may or may not remember i quit my job in july and was jobless till early Nov. That meant i had no money for anything esp when i was like 9k in debt to my credit cards.</p>
<p>&#8220;WHY QUIT WHEN YOU OWE SO MUCH DAMN MONEY!?!?&#8221;</p>
<p>Great question. Well sometimes boys and girls you have to say, &#8220;Fuck you! Fuck You! Fuck You! You&#8217;re cool and Fuck You..I&#8217;m OUT!&#8221; Ya sometimes its just not worth it. Questioning your job means you dont like it.</p>
<p>Here: If you dont know what to do in life do what i do.</p>
<p>Ask yourself these questions.</p>
<p>What do I love to do?<br />
What do people need?<br />
What pays a lot of money?</p>
<p>If those three things are the same thing then thats what you should do in life.</p>
<p>Well i love making films/shorts and people need entertainment and well it pays enough to be happy and so im still doing this only somewhere else. Im currently on Temp status bc ive only been there since NOV but in March ill know if imma stay on.</p>
<p>but my cc debt is down to 46oo and i have money to see movies again.</p>
<p>now i did see Rock n Rolla and it was good. i just never got around to reviewing it.</p>
<p>Imma go see JCVD soon. maybe after work this week. Its a new Jean Claude Van Damn (sp?) movie. Hence JCVD. Maybe The Day the Earth Stood Still. Transformers 2 this summer.</p>
<p>but yes like ive said before if its too much to pay for the movie at the theatre im just gona wait for the Blu Ray. two ppl at movies is at least 30+ a Blu Ray is 30 and if i dont like it ill sell it for half. Thank God gas is down. It went fron 4.85 in Aug/Sept to 1.55 in DEC and now 1.85 in Jan. (i live in Los Angeles)</p>
<p>imma start reviewing food online like i did for the Sundial at CSUN (i graduate in 1 year). The website (not up yet) is www.AveragePalate.com. I was also blogging on College Football and the season is now over but i will be starting www.BCSorBUST.com soon where it will be all collegefootball all the time.</p>
<p>Current projects include the food review site, MatadorMafia.com, a project for Comicon this year, and im still working on that comedy spanish soap opera. Need to make more short videos as well.</p>
<p>IM LOOKING TO MAKE MUSIC VIDEOS!!!!<br />
So if you guys know ppl in the Los Angeles area who are interested in having one made have them contact me.</p>
<p>ok well see you guys soon.</p>
<p>-Albert</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>IRON MAN</p>
<p>Alright well one of my favorite superhero&#8217;s finally got his own movie and you know what. It was damn good. I liked it. I liked it alot. I dont know if its bc i like Robert Downey Jr or Tony Stark or just Iron Man but it was a good movie.</p>
<p>So the story goes that Tony goes out into the desert in Afghanistan to do a weapons demonstration for the US Military and well after the demonstration his convey gets attacked and he gets kidnapped. His terrorists captives then  make him build a that missile he just demonstrated but he build his first Iron Man suit instead in order to escape. I dont get why someone like him wouldnt of had more protection. but whatever i still liked the movie. anyway ya he is held captive for three months,builds the suit,escapes,and returns back to the states.</p>
<p>I think the story line could of been a tad better but the cg looked good. The movie moves at a good pace for at 2hr 6mins. The fight scenes were nice (there should of been more) and the bad guys are a common enemy. And you know Gweneth Paultro looked good in this movie. I dont really like her at all that much  but she looked good. I mean whats there not to like about a trillionaire playboy who gets all the hot chicks, is a genius, fights terrorists, and at the same time runs his corporation. Tony Stark is the cool kick ass version of Bill Gates. Oh ya after the movie stay through the credits. Theres one more scene at the very end.</p>
<p>Also DONT FORGET to see the premier of Vol.5 at the Car Less Drive In at LA Mission College this saturday thats tomorrow at 6pm ITS FREE FREE FREE so go check it out.</p>
<p>thanks in advance</p>

<p>SPOILER<br />
SPOILER<br />
SPOILER<br />
SPOILER<br />
SPOILER<br />
SPOILER</p>
<p>after the credits and Tony Stark revealing to the world that he is Iron Man he goes back home only have Nick Fury standing in his living room. Now if you have seen Iron Man or any other Marvel cartoon or comic you know that Nick Fury is an older white man who is a CIA op and a WWII vet who has gray hair and an eye patch and is NOT NOT NOT Samuel L. Jackson but he was playing Nick Fury. Thats fucken lame i hate when they do shit like that and not bc i dont like SLJ (tho he is getting annoying bc he is in everything now) but bc i hate that they change characters so drastically, like having Micheal Clark Dunken play fucken King Pin in Dare Devil was fucken stupid too. but whatever. The scene is about 30 second slong and basically Fury says, &#8220;I am Iron Man&#8230;Mr Stark let me tell you about THE AVENGERS.&#8221;</p>
<p>then its over.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forgetting Sarah Marshall</p>
<p>ok so we get another movie from the guys who brot us super bad and the 40 year old virgin. the movie is about a guy who composes music for a CSI type show where he is also dating the main actress sarah marshall. she gets involved with a british musician and well she breaks up with composer boyfriend and to get over her he takes the advice of his step brother and goes on vacation. He ends up going to hawaii where sarah was also vacationing by coincidence.</p>
<p>well the movie is funny, not as funny as super bad but it was funny. theres a lot of man penis in this as well. but it was funny. not disgusting like Hostel II. and the reason i really like these movies is bc the dialogue is real. well in my case at least. the dialogue is just like every day dialogue and not like exaggerated lingo in fucken Juno. its just the way ppl talk. as for the situations they get into in this movie well they are a bit exaggerated but some what realistic. any way i liked it but what i didnt like and tell me if you see this: whenever they were out on the beach all the close up shots, 2 shots, some wide shots were all fake and composited. i dont know. that just bothered me when looking at it.</p>
<p>overall id liked liked it and i thought it was funny. go out and see it.</p>
<p>OH!!! ya and i saw this at the Cinerama Dome in H Wood. Id never been there before but its part of the ARC light. It sucked bc the ticket was an extra $1 bc it was in the Cinerama dome AKA THE DOME but it was a nice theatre.</p>
<p>ya so go watch this and Run Ralph Run Vol.5 this saturday May 3rd 2008 at LA Mission College in SLy Town Sylmar!  Its FREE FREE FREE and im working on a dvd to give to the ppl that go. it should be done. No promises. and if you gots urself a Bop 15 Shirt well rock it at the premier. Thanks!</p>
