WARNING: SPOILERS THROUGHOUT!
And, so this past Friday, March 20, 2009 gave to us the final episode of what is the greatest sci-fi show, ever:
Battlestar Galatica. And, I have to say I was blown away by it!
This season was such an amazing, kick ass experience, like the show has been from the get go. I adored the whole two-parter with the mutiny on the Battlestar and President Roslin's kick ass response!
Anyway, lets get to talking about the ending. At over two hours long, this was an exciting, emotional, and ingenious way to end the series. They got everything right and answered everything that needed to be.
There were so many great moment that just completely got me. Here are some of my favorites:
- Boomer rescuing Athena. I loved this. When we first met Boomer, she was one of my favorite characters. But, as she became more evil, I quickly grew to hate her character. Her redemption at the end was great. Loved the flashback to her, Colonel Tigh, and Adama. Although, she really did get her just deserts, at the hands of Athena (hands down my second fav character on the entire show).
- Baltar- It seemed that he would never change. Just a few episodes ago Caprica told him, "You have not changed, I have". That was such a great defining moment in both their characters. Then he grows some balls and decides to fight in the last episode. The scene where he and Caprica take Athena, had me screaming, "Traitorous bitch!" to her. But, alas it was needed to be so that the whole climax could be set off. The revelation of their angels was classic. Redemption achieved for Baltar!
- The Chief- Man, if there was one thing I was waiting for was for him to find out that that bitch Tory had made Cally get sucked through the air-hole. So, when it occurred and he snapped that twat's neck, I frakking flipped out! I think this the moment I cheered the loudest in the entire episode, if not series!
- The Cylon Centurions- Man, I feel like such a nerd saying this, but I loved seeing the "good" Centurions battling the "bad" ones. So fucking cool. Plus, the fact that they get to fly away into space and find their own destiny is fucking awesome.
- Tears- Fuck man, I totally cried when Helo got shot. Thank goodness he lived though. He is my third favorite character. And, his relationship with Athena was probably my favorite on going story in the entire series. Glad, they stayed a happy couple. I also cried in the scene with Starbuck and Sam. I always liked Sam more than Lee (no don't get me wrong, I like Lee, a lot, but just saying...), his character arc was great. And, Starbuck, what can I say, she is an angel, literally! Great arc for her as well. But, the most tears cam from seeing Roslin die. We all knew this would happen. I loved it when Adama (my fav character) took her into the ship.
Man, you know what, I could go on and on about what I loved in this episode. As, I liked it all, very single minute and second of it. No science fiction show has ever made me cry, has ever made feel so many emotions, like this one and it's ending did. This is the best ending to a series, ever. And, while both
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
Angel had amazing endings, even these were topped by BSG.
I don't know if
Caprica will live up this sort of greatness, but I will be watching. Long live
Battlestar Galatica, you will be greatly missed.
On two side notes, I no longer will have my Grace Park fix, so I am gonna start to watch
The Fixer, but my expectations are low...
Meanwhile, I cannot wait to meet Edward James Olmos at
Chiller next month. He has been one of my favorite actors since I was a kid. And, his character of Admiral Adama
is a hero of mine. Kat
will be there, too. I think I may go up to her, as well.
----------------
Now playing:
Guns N' Roses - Used To Love Hervia FoxyTunes 
is a hero of mine. Kat 
will be there, too. I think I may go up to her, as well.
. Now, I never seen the original, and who knows, if I ever will. But, any porn fan knows how important that film is to the adult biz. Anyways, Steve Hirsch, the owner of Vivid, tries to get the rights, then has his main director, Paul Thomas (aka PT) make it. The owner of the rights to Deep Throat is none to happy, but agrees to let it be made. Still, he wants to make his own version.
who, and rightfully so, gets the lead role.
join Vivid Video, as well as former Miss USA, the pretty Kelli McCarthy 
. By the way, anyone see Kelli's film? If so please tell me your thoughts.
. She comes off as having a lot of attitude (might be cause this babe is form right here in NYC!). I loved the scene where shes tries out for the lead, but tells PT that she does not act only fucks! 
Ahh, what a goddess! But, her attitude gets to much and in the last episode, that they aired, she gets kicked off the set, as PT gets way pissed off. I am sure the fact that the guy sent by the owner of the original film, tped his car did not help!
- This movie bought back the slasher film, albeit in a much more Hollywood manner. While many of the films it inspired or that ripped off of it, or it's inferior Craven helmed sequels (the third one was terrible!), it still stands a solid film. The problem is that over the years the movie has not aged well and does not hold to repeated. Baring that in mind the opening scene is still a classic moment (in particular in the unrated cut, sadly only seen on laserdisc). There is some good acting and the climax is thrilling. I enjoy the deconstructing of the slasher film, but it has many faults. But, then you see a piece of festering and worthless shit like Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon and really appreciate this movie. A classic despite all it's issues.
- Wes Craven and producer Sean Cunningham (who would go to direct the original Friday the 13th) gave us one of the most brutal and disturbing horror films ever made in this grindhouse classic. I think this film would be perfect if not for the stupid humor which is so out of place in a film like this. The villains are great in their role, in particular David Hess, who gave a career defining performance as scumbag Krug. The victims also give great performances, and the parents vengeance is highly satisfying. The brutal violence and degradation is still powerful, even after all my viewings and all the years that have passed. A film that is a landmark of it's time, it remains one of the greatest rape revenge films ever, topped only by Ms. 45.
- Before Craven deconstructed the slasher film with Scream he did it here. It's a great idea, that does work, but not as good as it could have. I have found that the film plays best the first time around, but regardless this a well written and acted movie. The lovely Heather Langenkamp gives a stellar performance. And, it is a blast to see Englund, Craven, Saxon, and Shay all playing themselves. The prospect of Freddy coming into the real world and terrorizing the lead from the original film is really an interesting. As is the involvement of such real life things such as actress stalking and the effects of violent horror on children.
- Continuing the more hardcore aspect of the horrors of LOTHL Craven wrote and directed this brutal, intense, and enthralling classic. The fact that both the villains and heroes are shown through their family life, adds an interesting dynamic to the proceedings. The attack on the family in the trailer remains one of Craven's strongest and most frightening moments. It is also highly satisfying when the heroes fight back. Avoid the Craven directed sequel or the sequel to the enjoyable, albeit inferior remake, as they both suck Micheal Berryman's asshole.
- Craven's best film is not only his scariest movie, but it is also one of the scariest horror films ever made. Like the early movies in his career this is an important and influential movie within the genre. ANOES took the slasher movie and added a new fantasy/ supernatural element that had not been present before. It is also a highly original and surreal movie that does a great job of presenting the world of our nightmares. The cast is good, with some classic performances. But, beyond all that it heralded a new horror villain in the form of Freddy Kreuger. While, the series would go down a more FX heavy/ pun filled style, the original remains a dark and terrifying movie and my third favorite movie ever.
was born on December 30, 1982 (that makes her 26, just in case you were wondering) in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. Her father is of Dutch descent, while her mom, though born in Indonesia, is of Chinese descent. She trained in gymnastics till 11th grade when scoliosis, no it loner made it possible to continue to do so.
is actually pretty entertaining. Now, mind you I went expecting shit, but I ended up having a lot of fun with the movie. My only complaint is Chris Klein who out right sucks in his role. But, the fight scenes are good. Kruek is not the only hot Asian in the film, by the way. Look for lovely Josie Ho 
and smoldering hot Moon Bloodgood 
in supporting roles. Kruek, herself, is really good in her role. She kicks a lot of ass in it and does some nice acting to boot. 
. A great smile, beautiful green colored almond-shaped eyes, and lovely hair 
. This video should cement that fact in your mind:
is an exotic goddess, and I eagerly await all of her future endeavors.
