Inception Review

Inception isn't just a movie directed by Christopher Nolan, it is a mind fuck directed by Christopher Nolan. Yes I said a mind fuck. The kind of thing that will have you thinking about it for days trying to decode the many messages and visuals throughout the film. Inception is the best movie of the year so far and probably will keep that position. It is the clear runner up to dominate the academy awards and for that I salute Mr. Nolan. Your inspiration to any upcoming director or writer. To make this simple I will not say anything but go see Inception because its just that good. I rate it a 9.8 out of 10. That's the highest score anything has gotten here at the ultimate universe. So one more time go see Inception, you'll be doing yourself a favor.

Rating: 9.8

Staying Fit

So a lot of people ask me, Jay how do you stay fit? I say I workout you lex bubble and drink water constantly. But in all seriousness I need to do more to stay fit. So this is what I'm going to do. Starting July 18th I will burn at least 500 calories during each workout session. I will also drink at least 3 glasses of water each day starting August 1st. During the month of August I will not drink any energy drinks or pop. Yes you heard it no energy drinks or pop for August. For those of you who don't know I love Monster and Code Red Mountain Dew a lot. I will also eat more vegetables and fruit with also decreasing my meat intake.

Now you say Jay that only making you physically fit what about your mind? Is your mind fit or is it easy to mind fuck you? So here is what I'm going to do to exercise my mind. I'm going to start meditating for 5 minutes everyday and adding a minute ever week after until I reach 20 minutes. Next I will study other cultures, religions, and just gain knowledge.

So there you have it, that's what I'm doing to stay fit in a unhealthy world. I will be updating you on my progress and giving ideas on how to eat healthy, exercise better, and what to do for your mind.

Pilot Talk Review

For those of you who like real rap music and not that Roscoe Dash or Soulja Boy crap well check out my bro Curren$y. His debut studio album dropped on July 13th titled Pilot Talk. What I've heard looking at twitter and other sites is that the album was basically sold out as soon as the stores opened. No worries for me thought because I download all of my music off of itunes. Well lets get down with this review. Pilot talk has gone production and of course an excellent hip-hop artist. The album features production from Ski Beats, Monsta Beatz, Mos Def, and Nesby Phips. The album also has guest appearances from Mos Def, Snoop Dogg, Jay Electronica, and Devin the Dude. The album is a good length for his debut and the only real problem is that his running mate Wiz Khalifa didn't get on the album do to a clearance problem. I would rate this album a 9 out of 10. Hopefully for Curren$y sophomore he can get production from the Neptunes or Kenye West for a couple of tracks and Khalifa gets on it.

Here are some videos from the album.

Biomega Review

If you like the anime Akira and also like zombies you should check out Biomega. Biomega is a manga by Tsutomu Nihei. How did I find out about this wonderful piece of ecstasy. Well me and my wonderful fiance where checking stuff out at borders and biomega glimpsed my eye while I was about to leave. I said hey that looks interesting and interesting it was. Now I've only read the first volume of the series and soon I will pick up volume 2. I have to wait awhile for volumes 3 to 6 to come out in the states. So far volume 1 is excellent the only problem is that it's short on dialogue. I would rate volume 1 of Biomega a 9 out of 10. I will keep you posted about this amazing series.

Goals, What Are They For?

So for the last two months I have made monthly goals for myself so I can stay productive during this time of me not working or going to school. I feel that this has worked for me and I will continue to do it when I return to work and school. So let me give you my results so far. For the month of May I achieved was 32% and for June 48%. Now I know your thinking Jay that's not good but it is because I have about a 1000 goals each month. So it's like I completed 320 things for May and 480 for June which is good because before I set goals all I really did was play videogames and do nothing else. Setting goals has put me in a much better place. For July I hope to get to 75% completion. Being halfway through the month I feel that I will achieve this based on the progress I have made so far. Wish me luck.

So with this talk of goals, what are some of you guys goals out there? Let me know.

July Update

Well here is the update for July 2010. Recently I had my family reunion which was fun. It took place in my home city of Akron, OH which means I was pretty busy during this time. I was busy making food, running things to areas where the reunion took place, registering people, acting, and making a history skit video for the reunion. A couple days after the reunion ended I fell ill with something I won't describe on here do to how disgusting it is. Unfortunately this illness made me real tired preventing me from blogging and doing anything creative but I'm all good. So here's the deal, I'm going to give you the proposed completion dates of all of my projects.

Release Dates:

Joe The Zombie Hunter Episode 2 & 3-8/2010
Short Story-9/2010
King-1/2011
Project Atom-2/2011
Project Revolution-6/2011
Untitled Film-8/2011
Untitled Novel co-written with two other authors-8/2011

There you have it the proposed completion dates. P.S. when I use the word project in the title it is not the real title of the project, it's a codename until I think of a title.

The Last Airbender Review

So here we go, my review of The Last Airbender. Where do I start with this thing? I mean this movie was awful, worst movie of the year and is an early favorite for the worst movie of the decade. M. Knight Shamalayan latest work destroys the last bit of credibility that he had. I review this movie from two perspectives: One being from a movie standpoint as if the avatar series never existed and also as an adaption so you can really understand how bad the film is.

So lets start with it being a movie just on it's own. The only good thing about this is that the film had decent special effects but then there's everything else. The acting is some of the worst I have ever saw. The characters have no emotion and the dialogue is just simple to say the least. It was like they were reading the lines off a TelePrompter: I am the avatar. Noah Ringer is a sure shot to get the Razzie this year. The plot doesn't make sense at all, the transitions are awful. You start out at one place and for some reason end up some were else. In this movie stuff just happens to be happening. There's no real reason behind why any of this is happening at all. The fight scenes are also boring using slow motion throughout ever single fight. I mean what is this 1999. I mean it was cool in the Matrix but even the Wachowski Brothers knew not to do it in every action sequence.

As an adaption this movie still sucks. The first problem is that M. Knight whitewashed all the protagonist main characters. For those who don't know Avatar: The Last Airbender is based off of the Asian culture with all the characters being Asian or Inuit. M. Knight also made all the antagonists minorities which really upset me because he playing at that whites are the saviors and minorities are going to destroy the world. Another problem is that he pronounce all of the characters names wrong. The movie also wasn't long enough to contain all the material of the first season of avatar. Main characters that were important to the storyline were missing also. M. Knight also narrated relationships between characters.
I give this movie a score of 1 out of 10.

For those of you who still want to see it keep this in mind: M. Knight Shamalayan is like a Cassidy Album, he gets you all hyped up cause he's a hustler but when you here it your like what the fuck is this.

R.I.P. Avatar: The Last Airbender in memory of the good times.
