Movie to Consider :::: Blood And Bone

noreply@blogger.com (John Rock) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 00:55:00 +0000

I know it has been a while since I last took the time to post anything, for that I may have cost myself a vast readership. However I am back and I am bringing something that is very important. A film that is smoking fire. This is the reason I am back. They are making films with a real thought process behind them, or so it seems.

I bring to you today Blood and Bone, and production effort from Michael Jai White and his team of producers. For the effort and the medium in which it was released and the budget in mind. This film was well casted and well thought out. I did not find many holes to dissect. From Kimbo Slice to Michael Jai White himself I was impressed and ready for more. The sad part of the film is that it ended, but none the less it ended well.

From start of the film you had this feeling that the film had not real plot, but some how it drew you in far enough, that you had no choice but to watch. Why? The martial arts was explicit and extraordinarily different from the normal CGI induced action sequence that they attempt to pass off as true fight scenes. This was raw takes with raw kick and honorable punches. The dialog was on par with most films, meaning their was not much, but it was well thought out for the main characters. Some of the other characters were a bit cliche but this is something you do not notice and will not mind. Overall the film itself is well put together and I wished it had more of a budget, I think it would have been a big screen hit.

Michael Jai White it here to stay. And Hollywood needs to take true notice of this guys craft and cast him while he has the ability to bring much to the screen.

Here is the trailer:

Movie to Consider ::: The Human Contract

noreply@blogger.com (John Rock) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:03:00 +0000

This weekend to my surprise I found a film that will go into my library, " The human Contract". Written and Directed by Jada Pinkett Smith. This film is a movie that unlocks the varied personification of the human experience, delving deep into the desires of the heart and the same time dissecting it with poetic flare. As you watch it it grips you and causes you to search your own beliefs in what is between a man and a women.

Who Is Michelle Malkin ::: Monday on the View Aug 2009

noreply@blogger.com (John Rock) — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 20:26:00 +0000

Michell Malkin Conservative columnist with too much writing talent going to waste on premature outlooks. Earlier today on the View she made an appearance to promote her new book and has done nothing more than come across as a pushy, aggressive, over hyped writer with too much passion behind simplistic views that are aimed at a president who has only been on the job for a short time. She has no real ground so she digs up old records of a dumb college kid who happens to be our technology Czar. This is groundless and obvious of two things, the publisher knows that people are dumb enough to feed into this prematurely conceived self serving view and their bank is about to be made and their fiscal year will look brighter.

There once a time when this stuff was left for the column at a struggling paper with no principles, but a book. Who green lights this stuff.

Here in the video you will see for yourself, how Michelle is just a spotlight driven puppet of her own thoughts or by the hand of another, that has no real grounds to speak on. Michelle will not be the last and we know she is not the first. Heck I will not be surprised if someone else is pulling the strings and feeding her these ideas and fully support her for running with them as her own.

I hate to say this, but this is one way of destroying the approval ratings, by picking at minor details. There are a lot of things to call this but I am going to take my time to observe what is going on here before I speak on it entirely.

Glenn Beck Thinks Obama Is A Racist

noreply@blogger.com (John Rock) — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 01:19:00 +0000

Glenn Beck has become a pain in the rear of most Americans that actually think for themselves. Due to his large following it may appear that Glenn Beck has something important to say. Something to say, important no. Not that I expect much else from Glenn Beck, this full grown test tube baby, who uses his credential to sling mud. I have never listened to a more negative individual in my life.

He points out that Obama is a racist for being upset at something that happens to African Americans daily. Although this professor may have acted in a manner that lead to his arrest, at his home. There is no need for Glenn Beck to comment on a subject he really has not understanding of. Until you walk in the shoes of someone of color whether Black, Asian, or Latino, Glenn you have no understanding of what is happening. Although this officer has a history of being diplomatic in the African American Community. There are many other officer who do not have that same understanding or care for people of color. There is still a strong layer of racial profiling going on in the communities within each state in this country.

So in defense of my President who happens to have a family of mixed race and heritage, to call him racist is not a rational thought. It is just as reactive as the professor and President Obama initial conclusion in the events of the last weeks. At this point is is more who are you going to believe, a right wing hate monger who is obviously looking for something to defile the president to push his financial goals.

Glenn Beck and the rest of those right wing Pundits and politicians have one thing in mind. Get the Black Dude out OF Office. They do not care for anything that he is doing for the country. They rather see him fail then get it right so that we can actually have a country to live it. Although I did not approve of what Bush was doing, I had to support the leader of that time because where his power is our freedoms begin. We must support our leaders and learn to see where it is that we can support them.

In my lifetime I have never seen this much from the the opposing team on home to destroy a president. It is almost like he is the king and these right wing sub monarchs are working hard to bring him down before he even gets started. They are throwing out as much trip wire as possible to further there hate filled cause.

I have had enough. We must support our leader and yes we must correct him when hie stumbles and if you recalled he asked for correction and direction. All it takes, is for us to pick up the pen, type it even, to send him a letter with our thoughts and also join the good fight by communicating to our local governments as well.

In Honor of MJ and how I feel

noreply@blogger.com (John Rock) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:47:00 +0000

I have been gone for some time and this I know. So I must come back and bring you the things that I have captured my attention these past few months. So I took a back seat for a minute to observe life a bit more.

We lost Michael Jackson - Simply put we have lost one of the greatest artist to touch this planet. What he has done no other artist accomplished. The widespread global pandemonium is and was unmatched. It is obvious in the memoriam that has taken place since his passing. Honor the man! I have been reading many blogs and digital boards and I see there are people out there that do not respect him for what the media portrayed him as by showing him vulnerable side and not understanding what he was going through in his life.

Yes MJ was eccentric and bit of a anomaly but you can not destroy what he was and will always be to us. The music will live on, and in his death it is proven that he has made timeless music. With his record sales through the roof, and remixes of his songs coming at us left and right. MJ has proven something that many artist before and after him failed to do. That you can make music that has not time stamp.

So I ask that we accept MJ for who he was and the path that he has paved and shown us. We can now take creative roads and share with the world our interpretations within our art form.

Michael Jackson Forever :::: May You Touch US Forever

noreply@blogger.com (Kem) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:51:00 +0000

I do not know where to begin so I am just going to pour out my heart on this one and whoever cares, cares and support my quick rant on MJ the GREAT.

Michael Jackson, has touched so many lives in the greater part of the the last 3 decades. Although many have lost a taste for the King of Pop due to the defamatory nature of the press, I kept a place for his music that no one can ever wipe away from my life.

MJ is the supreme example of and artist who it dedicated to his music and to his fans. When I first heard Thriller I was around 4 years old going on 5, all I can remember is that this guy was awesome. I was young, I was impressionable, and it hit me the minute I saw the video. To be quite clear, there was no other artist that I can recall being a fan of at the time and for a long time. MJ was it and he provided that world that all kids live in. That world where anything is possible. If you listen to his lyrics and his cadence, you are immediately hypnotized and drawn in by a seemingly effortless style of delivery.

MJ was gifted and for sure the one to beat on the world stage of Music. He has conquered the globe, achieving a world power the politicians and Monarchs before him have tried and failed. The pure essence is simple, MJ controlled the world for a short time, he was a world King. He may have not made and decisions as to what we will do with our lives, but if you listen to his music he had an opinion on what we should do with our thoughts.

From Man in the Mirror, to Thriller, Billie Jean, Bad, PYT, the list goes on. He has inspired, broken down barriers of racial stress, and created and image that many till this day, who hunger for attention and power, could command.

I write this because he will always be remembered and I wish the best for his Children, and the entire Jackson Family. There is not much more that I can say. MJ You are the Truth and these are my words to you.

If there is a place that you can touch the world from where you are. Find the true souls and watch over them. edging them to work hard at their crafts, so that we can once again get the opportunity to have an artist as dedicated and skillful as you are.

For his 39 years of hard work and extreme representation of his talent. We should give him this time to rest and remembered why we love him and why he made us dance.

MJ Forever.

Derek Blanks Does Fantasia

FANTASIA looks GREAT. Yes I put that in the same sentence. If this is part of her new campaign to get back the public love that she needs, then she is on the right track and JRU has not put her into a class of her own.

As interested as the rest of the world is, in the United States and our state of grace. There is so much going on outside of our borders that has the attention of the remaining known world. With turmoil in African countries, Middle Easter Countries, Asian Countries, and Latin American Countries. The EU is beginning to show its trouble and shame as well. The majority of us do not realize to what extent the globe is feeling the pinching crackdown on cracked policies across the globe.

I think we are not in a season of cleansing. Humanity is working on clearing out the debris of centuries of hatred. However the task will not be easy, nor will it come fast. However the process has begun. For those of us who care that the world unites, have and opportunity to take things to the next level. Society requires that we all play our roles in this big play, not a moment can be riddle with mistake and if we falter then we ad lib and get back on track. However we must be prepared. Prepared to make the recovery, and keep the show going.

Do not take my words lightly. That which I speak of it important to the world. In order for humanity to survive, we must be of one body. How long will we allow our minor differences to capture our hearts in such a negative way? When is enough is enough? It is come to the point that we have much bigger issues at hand. The globe is suffering while we are bickering.

With the rate of the deterioration of this planet is moving at. There will be nothing left to fight over. So why are we wasting time and resources on hatred and policy? The thinking power should be used for something far greater than ourselves, it should be done for our children. Not for our children thoughts, in who is better because of their race. But for them to have a place to live in and play in one hundred years from today.

Are you people thinking out there. Or are you spending your time with old views and concepts to that you can get your flaccid phallics the joy and pleasure of dominating another man and his people. That is sick. Is not the entire point of civilization for civil manner? Did I miss something? Humanity the glass is empty it neither half full or empty. There is nothing in it any longer. After the apple, and/or Pandora's peek into the box, we have been on a downward spiral ever since.

Personally I am sick and tired of the bull shit. So this is my brief opinion about the BNP and parties like them.

Look what is going on in with the British National Party.

Barack Obama False Prophet

noreply@blogger.com (John Rock) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:01:00 +0000

Just when you think it is OK...Someone comes along and proves that there is much more work to do. I expect these words to come from someone as uneducated about 'all life' as Newt Gingrich , but Jon Voight the father of Angelina Jolie. I now know why she does not speak to him now, if this is any indication into the window of her childhood.

I once respected him and thought Angelina mad, to not communicate with her father. Now I see there may be a chink in his otherwise clean image. It may have been his role in Rosewood that led me to believe he was cool. So is he still cool? I don't know for sure what that question will reveal, but if these thoughts here are any indication that this man has some deeply rooted dislike for a man that has only worked for a little over 100 days, then we are about to see much more.

“Are we supposed to sitting and waiting, watching for the possibility of a new Holocaust? Who’s going to take the responsibility to keep America, I mean Israel, safe. I’ll tell you why this really scares the hell out of me. Everything Obama has recommended has turned out to be disastrous.
“It saddens me greatly to think we were the great powerful good in the world. We as Americans knew America to be strong. We were the liberators of the entire world. We are becoming a weak nation. “Obama really thinks he is a soft-spoken Julius Caesar.
“We and we alone are the right frame of mind to free this nation from this Obama oppression. Let’s give thanks to [Republicans] for not giving up and staying the course to bring an end to this false prophet, Obama.”

So You Think You Can Dance ::: Brandon Bryant Is A Beast

noreply@blogger.com (John Rock) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 20:28:00 +0000

Although I was classically trained in ballet. Yes I was! I always loved Hip Hop dance styles and what they bring to the table. Many may attempt to put the styles into a box. However just like the music there are many forms of Hip Hop dance. This is something that the show has placed in the spotlight.

I want to see an even display, maybe even some awesome fusion of modern, classical, salsa, bachata, ballet, breaking and so on. I can not wait to see what that kid does. Yeah that black kid, that looks like he can take a hit from a truck and walk off. Brandon Bryant, is a beast. Simple and plain. I think he will bring something this year that show is known for. Heat!

Just When You Think It Is Safe :::: Some Jews Have Strong Words For President Obama

noreply@blogger.com (John Rock) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 19:13:00 +0000

I really do not want to destroy you weekend here. But this video has enraged my spirit. This video is pure evidence along with all of the other so called opinions, out in the news today. That there are some people that do have the Patience of light. The man has been in office less than 7 months and the are citing change. Although the kids are young I want to point out that they are still people, and people at any age can influence are large enough group. In this case, are they a symbol of what's to come? Are the representative of your White JEWS? I don't know but I guess you will let the video serve as a warning.

This is no different than the KKK and NEO NAZI camps here in the states. There are so many things wrong with the content of this video. The questions being posed are not sensible, rationale, or warranted. What these questions are, is impatience, and the hate behind it has been there for so long before Obama. They these kids can not see past their own noses or get their heads out of their asses.

This racially charged video may knock the wind out of you. Watch at your own risk.

Always Get A Second Opinion ::: 50 Settles Lawsuit Over Mansion Repairs

noreply@blogger.com (John Rock) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 18:35:00 +0000

When it comes to owning something of apparent value, It is always important to get a second opinion. Also you should get a second opinion in your spending habits also. When you strike it rich all of a sudden, you should not go our and purchase your first Mansion until you have had a long standing career. If you are to do so, then you should at least take some real time before laying out the cash to own it.

I know when you come from nothing anything looks good with grass and a lack of visual neighbors. Yes you may have checked off all of this things to do on your list, get the house inspected, make sure it can fit a club, studio, and stripper pole. But you must keep in mind that it is important to get a second opinion on the structure as well, maybe a third and fourth.

This is in know way a jab at 50. He purchased the house because he wanted it and you can not blame him. However all of you about to strike it rich. Keep in mind that you should always triple check everything you are about to buy. You do not want your hard wished and earned dollars to go down the drain. Now do you?

50 I Am happy that you settled. Now get back in the booth and make a classic. Make this one from the heart. No bullshit.

Sweeten is now Sweating

noreply@blogger.com (John Rock) — Fri, 29 May 2009 01:37:00 +0000

I started my morning out just like every other person today that was black and had a chance to catch the news this morning before starting in on the days work.

This liar who decided to blame random black men for her lack in life was captured. It is because of people like this African Americans, till this day have to deal with the BS in this country. It is hard to trust people across the tracks when you have women like this who will run around and do God knows what with their lives and when things get rough find some unsuspecting black person to take the fall. In this case the fall guys did not exist(Unless you count every black man in America then you have many fall guys). It is thinking like this, that has brought about the over population of the jails in this country, and a strong reason why that population is predominantly black.

However there is some form of vindication to see that for once the lie did not spread to long and that their were no African American Males Harmed due to a lie.

I am done with my rant here is a snippet of the story:

This whole ordeal began around 1:50 p.m. Tuesday when Sweeten called 911 to say she had been forced into the trunk of a black Cadillac at the intersection of Street Road and Central Avenue in Upper Southampton Township, Bucks County. She went on to tell the operator that she had been in an accident and that two black men in the other car then abducted her along with her young daughter.

Police found Sweeten’s abandoned SUV early Wednesday morning at 15th and Chestnut Streets in Center City Philadelphia. Cracks in her story started to appear after it was revealed that the Sweeten’s GMC Yukon Denali had a parking ticket on it with a time stamp of 2:20 p.m. Tuesday. That 30 minute window from when she told police she was abducted and when the ticket was issued would be an incredibly tight time frame to get from the suburban Bucks County town to the heart of Philadelphia.

Furthermore, police say they traced Sweeten’s first 911 call to a cell phone tower near the location where the SUV was found, indicating it may have been there the entire time. Additionally, investigators say Sweeten gave conflicting stories about where her daughter was; whether she was with her in the trunk of the Cadillac or taken along with her SUV. On Wednesday, police recovered a surveillance video from a restaurant nearby where the SUV was found. However, they have not said what, if anything, was on the tape.

Larry Sweeten says that he is just as much in the dark about this ordeal as everyone else. “I think I’m in a dream. This has taken me by such a surprise. I just want her to know she has tons of support, and whatever it is we can work through it.”

“I’m begging you, please come home,” Sweeten said, addressing his wife. “We have a new daughter, she needs you,” he said, referring to their 8-month-old baby.
38-year-old Bonnie Sweeten is jailed in Florida, awaiting a trip back to Bucks County to face criminal charges.

Sweeten’s 9-year-old daughter, Julia, is safe and sound. Julia’s father, Sweeten’s ex-husband, will be boarding a 10:15 a.m. flight bound for Orlando where he will be reunited with his daughter.

In the meantime we are learning more details about Bonnie Sweeten and why she may have fled.

Bucks County D.A. Michelle Henry held a press conference Wednesday night to make an important announcement: “This evening at approximately 7:50 p.m. Bonnie Sweeten was taken into custody.

Late Class ::: Rihanna Heats up daily

noreply@blogger.com (John Rock) — Fri, 29 May 2009 01:18:00 +0000

There are many stars on that walk of fame and I think it that it has room for one more. Rihanna simply put, once she proves that she can grow in all directions with her music, then taking it up a notch with experimentation, she will be unstoppable. On top of that she is working with a Coach in NY to cultivate her acting chops. That will be something that I will keep my eye on, for sure.

But please tell me how sweet it is to look at her in this video. When she gets a bit more cultivated she will have more depth to her character. I look forward to her bringing that to the big screen and her music.

HIP HOP - PIP POP :::: What Is The Next Stage?

noreply@blogger.com (Kem) — Wed, 20 May 2009 01:30:00 +0000

As of late I have been having a rough time accepting a few things in the world of entertainment. Specifically of the Hip Hop Variety. I am a well educated person of the streets, or so I like to think. Many things capture my attention these days when it comes to the music genre.

There are many Hip Hop artist out now. Whether it is by major label or they are pressing their independent works or having a mix tape flood their local scene. I have been let down time after time with the nonsense that is being called rap. I am cool with gangsta rap, I am cool with Back pack and I am cool with bubble gum. So my argument does not concern the genre as much as it does the quality.

What happened to the lyrics? In the past 10 years I have witnessed the quality fall short of spectacular. I no longer see the art form growing as it should. What happened to the word play? Every thing seem simple and contrite as all possible. The vibe is gone.

Rappers today are trying way to hard to have a persona and are forgetting about the lyrics. The only thing that keeps me listening is the beats. The production is way up, the lyrical content, you guessed it..way down. I prefer watching American idol two days in a row before buying another rap album.

I did not write this to name any names. However I hope that those who do come across this that have a career or plan on having one. To take the time out to rethink their approach. Don't let the record company sway you in to thinking without a brain, it is impossible to do. The end result is no thought equals no lyrics. It is that simple.

The record companies have drain the art out of Hip Hop. It is all sales now. Hip Hop is just PIP POP. Pop music, that claims it is real over heavy baselines. Mix tape rappers who consider themselves the toughest on their blocks may be the toughest on their block, but what about the world. You can not and will not run it all. Matter of fact, it is better to drop art, tell us what really going on in your mind and souls. I have heard a million and one song this years that consist of how many guns, women, dollars, and cars you have. I think it is time for something new.

Some may hate Mister Dress code for stepping out or MR. Team owner for stepping off and on the stage. You cant blame them or be mad at the growth in these individuals. The problems with the Hip Hop community stem from the problems in the hood. So of course the hood will buy anything that sounds tough, if they don't have any other options. Give the world variety and it will eventually take it as it is.

So I dare the next decade of Hip Hop to be better. You have the year 2010 to begin the work, and to start a new era. This is a six month heads up. The world expects more and nothing less.

What is the next stage? No I am not saying for everyone to get on the vocoder or to make an EMO RAP Album, but I am saying take a cue from those who have taken the risk. Hip Hop is about fusion of the world around it. The problem is that it has gotten to cocky with itself and stop growing in the direction it began growing towards . Is it now too old to change its ways? Are you the next act to bring the change? Look around you, that is where Hip Hop is.
