Just got this one from Satan Clause, the giver of gifts in Hell, and figured I’d inject a little life in this dying sector of the Phantom and Scythe site.
The Phantom, being an old dead motherfucker never really jumped on the nu-metal bandwagon, and, in my own personal opinion, believe that all Korn/ Limp Bizkit clones should be put on a barge into the middle of the ocean, set on fire and be allowed to slowly sink into the murky depths…I must confess that I kinda dig Linkin Park.
But let me add a but…
The tracks “Somewhere I Belong” and “Faint” and catchy, tight and different, the CD as a whole sounds like one big track.
The use of scratchers and synths and multiple vocals styling along with…GASP…a melody makes them a mainstream crowd pleaser fo’ sure…and if I weren’t such an old fucker I wouldn’t mind checking them out live… they still haven’t branched out into new realms that will, in time, set them apart from other nu-metal bands.
I dig it and say it’s worth a listen to. You can catch it on sale at Walmart, but if you can just download the two tracks I mentioned above you’ll be getting the “best of” this CD.[P]

Matrix: Revolutions – Rating: 
I think Reloaded impressed me more upon first viewing because I didn’t expect much. This film I’ve seen a few times in theaters and think its slightly better becasue there’s less “Im too smart to understand” talk and the amazing ending leaves a lot to debate and consider making the viewer be a part of the film long after it’s done. The Neo VS Smith fight is epic, the great scenery and the epic music make this one of the best scenes in Cinema this year.
Elf – Rating:
The movie was pretty good, but upon a second viewing I found myself to be not intrested much in the film, and the corny and childish jokes had little to no effect on me second time around. Watch the film once, kids will enjy repeated viewings probably, but its a great movie to watch with some pretty funny scenes.
Looney Toons: Back in Action – [raing: 6.5/10]
I actually wanted to find a way to Fast Forward this one. Space Jam was FAR better in every way possible. This film was just lame, it has a few funny moments but ultimately it stunk.
Gothika – Rating:
I don’t know why it’s called Gothika, or even spelt with a K instead of a C, but the films not all too bad. The story was a lot more interesting than I thought but got predictable as events drew closer. It’s strictly a watch once film, I couldn’t stomach a movie with a story like this a second time, theres not much entertaining value besides the story, the acting is average but won’t keep my attention if I tried to watch it again.
Bad Santa – Rating:
This movie was hilarious. It was offensive, dark, and just plain old dirty. It was amusing to see a guy in a Santa outift the whole movie, screwing women, drinking, pissing himself, and oh yeah, every other word he says is a cuss word. John Ritter (I’m assuming it’s his final film role unless he shot something else before his unfortunate death) has a small but amusing role as well. Definetly worth checking out if you want a good laugh and some dirty and crude jokes….perhaps a DVD buy for me…perhaps..
