80's Commercial In The Bag


Oh my god, i don't think Zombie House has put this much blood,sweat,and tears towards a project in a long time. Me , James,and Armando just finished the commercial for the fake 80's video game "Super Battle Commando Warrior 3", and i can safely say this is one of our biggest completed projects to date.

We went all out for this one, since it was videogame related i think a little bit of all of us went into it. Growing up during the 80's helped us a great deal in deciding the direction we wanted to take this commercial. The finished product in my opinion is more than satisfying.

Now the nerve racking part has begun, its out for the public to judge. I forgot to mention earlier, the reason this commercial was created, was to go up against other fake 80's game commercial in a G3TV contest. People from the station will be judging all of the commercials and pick 1 winner.

Even though im proud of what we done, im getting worried that we didn't do the best we could have done, even though i know we did, its just the competitiveness in me. But i would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who acted in this commercial for believing in the us and in the project. Without you guys Super Battle Commando Warrior 3 couldn't have come to life.

So far we have been getting really positive reviews, which is a relief because we really want good feedback for all of our projects, but who doesn't. Anyways, if you haven't seen it go to ziddio.com and register and vote for us. We want a good score for our commercial, even though the winner isn't going to be decided by votes, but it does help.

If you haven't seen it yet, here it is. SUPER BATTLE COMMANDO WARRIOR 3

Zombie House Being Productive




Today was an awesome ass day for Zombie House. Today me, James, Armando, and Christian completed stage 1 of "Operation 80's Commercial". What the fuck is that you might ask, well its basically this. G4tv is hosting the contest to see who can make the best 80 video game commercial, so Armando thought it would be something fun and simple for Zombie House to do, and so far he's right.

Today we all drove up to Millerton Lake and shot about 50 percent footage needed for our commercial. ZH's own Christian Espenoza and our friend Tang were cool enough to step into two dope ass roles. I don't wanna give to much away about the commercial were shooting but soon there will be pictures of todays shoot on Zombie House's Myspace Page. With all the stuff we've been doing lately, i feel really really good that ZH is back on course and motivated to be making short films again. Watch out Fresno, here we come again.

MOVIE REVIEW - Beowulf


"I AM BEOWULF" Screw that all i kept telling myself was "I AM FUCKING BORED". I don't know exactly what i was expecting coming to the movies to see this flick, i think i just wanted to go see a damn movie. I wasn't really looking forward to it , so it had plenty of opportunity to surprise me. Unfortunately this movie just ended up boring the shit out of me.

Im not going to explain what the movie is about because it'll bore me to death typing it, so ill just say this much, Trying to put serious long forms of dialogue into an animated movie just does not work for me. The fact that every human character in the moive had that dumb slightly cross eyed face on them just totally ruined the movie for me. Im the type of person that lets something as little as a misplaced eye ball ruin a whole movie for me. They seemed like they had no souls, they were like manikins that came to life or something.

Even with all the action scenes, and a naked battle scene between Beowulf and Grendell, i was still bored out of my damn mind. I think this movie should have been done with real actors. Armando was telling me that he read or heard somewhere that this movie was said to be impossible to film for a live action version. Looking back at what i saw, there was nothing shown that would have made it impossible for this movie to be made live action. Lord of the Rings basically showed me that anythings possible when it comes to these type of films.

So anyways, this movie was animated nice, aside from there dumb fuck faces, but the story line was kinda lacking and boring to sit through. Maybe i should of forked out the 14 bucks and watched it in 3D. Or Maybe not.

Grade: C- (For dope visuals, and Angelina Jolie's Digital Ass and Breasts)

MOVIE NEWS - Dragon Ball Z Movie - Goku and Piccolo Casted




Growing up i think all of us males saw an episode or two of Dragon Ball Z , so noone should be a stranger to the series. But in case you don't know it was one of the most popular Anime series ever made, go google it to find out the details. But for me, the idea of making a live action movie is very very risky, especialy if you remember how crazy an episode of Dragon Ball Z can get, it could come out really bad on the big screen.

But it doesn't matter what i think cause the balls already rolling on the live action movie. Actor/writer/director Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle) is producing. Final Destination helmer James Wong will direct from a script he wrote. Ben Ramsey wrote an earlier draft. In the big screen adaptation, Goku is a powerful warrior who protects the Earth from an endless stream of rogues bent on dominating the universe and controlling the mystical objects from which the film takes its name.

Now heres the Juicy news, who is gonna play Goku? You might like it or you might hate it, but either way, your gonna have to just accept it. The lucky actor that got chosen is the one , the only , Justin Chatwin (The Invisible, War of the Worlds). Yeah im not familiar with his work, but i remember seeing the previews for The invisible. What worries me the most is how much of the actual anime are they gonna imitate on film, cause i don't think anyone with a Goku hair cut would actually look cool in real life.

Piccolo on the other hand anyone can getaway with, cause he's bald, and he's green. So i'm not too worried about how he turns out, but with American cinema, anythings possible (cough Street Fighter Blanka cough). I cough alot in my blogs. Anyways the lucky chap to play Piccolo is James Marsters ("Smallville," "Angel," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer").

So there you go, theres the scoop on two of the main characters. I honestly think that the movie wont come out terrible since Stephen Chow has his foot in it, i mean come on , kung fu hustle was a great movie. I think with his eye on Dramatic Super Power Cinema, this movie will at least turn out Entertaining enough to rent. But the kid in me is praying this movie does very well.

Video Games - Portal 18 Minute Speed Run


Now i love videogames as much as the next guy, and some would even say that i play too much *cough call of duty *cough, but this right here is just ridiculous. This was posted yesterday on www.kotaku.com and it shows a hardcore gamer blazing through Orange Box's Portal in 18 min. on PC.

Now mind you this dude basically knows each puzzle inside and out, and the way he defeats the boss is just crazy, i blame the developers for allowing these type of shananagins, but anyways without further ado , prepare to be amazed. Video is in two parts.

Kimbo Slice vs Bo Cantrell

This Saturday was Kimbo Slice's first MMA match against Bo Cantrell. Kimbo is most famous for his street fighting videos that shows him beating the living shit out of all challengers. Im glad he went legit, but for his first MMA match, i dont think he was challenged very much. Watch the match and let me know if you think this was a real challenge for Kimbo.

Video Games - Call Of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare


All my friends know that im a huge Call of Duty nut and that i have been wetting my panties for this damn game to come out already. Well today is finally the day it drops, and i took a day off of work to play it. Yay! Some people relieve stress by golfing, vacationing , etc., well i like to play games. I mean normally i wouldn't take a day off to play a game, but this is the game I've been waiting for all year.So fuck off, haha.

Anyways, a couple of weeks ago my Xbox 360 go the infamous "RED RINGS OF DEATH" and Call of Duty 4 was just around the corner. Now people who know me are aware of my never ending series of bad luck i have in life and it continues to this day. So im over here with a day off, a pre-paid game, and no Xbox 360. So what do i do? I steal my little brothers for the day.

So i basically got the game around 11 am and i have until 4 pm to enjoy in with no interruptions. So i rush home, pop that disc in ,and start gaming. I went straight for multi player, cause thats the bread and butter of this game, or any type of first person shooter. What makes this game so damn addicting is the leveling system, the more kills you get the more you level up. And with leveling up you unlock weapons and cool abilities, very very addicting.

5 hours past like a blink of an eye, and my little brother comes home. Now this dude loves to play games more than i do, so once he got home, i had to leave to go pick up my mom from work, so as i walk out, he's walking in. The first thing he ask's is , "did you get the game?". I told him yeah, and he just basically claimed back his system along with my game in it. So now im writing this, since i dont have a controller in my hand. Im cool with sharing, poor dude didn't get his own copy, and its the least i can do for him being cool about me using his 360.

So for now, i'm just chilling on the computer, until i decide to take the damn thing away from him. Ill let him enjoy the awesomeness that is Call of Duty 4 for now. With that said , i encourage all xbox 360 owners to go out and get this game. Multi player is amazing, and from what i saw when my bro was playing it, the single player is just as good. Go to circuit city , and get a free copy of Call of Duty 3 and a poster with purchase.I'm pretty sure there probably all out by now.

At ease soldier!

MOVIE REVIEW - SAW IV


So its Halloween night, all the kids are out trick or treating, all my friends are out partying, so what do i do? I go watch Saw IV. So what? Maybe i'm dumb,but i had high hopes that maybe, just maybe this would be entertaining. Was i wrong, well of course, it's Saw.

So alright, i wanna do this while this stupid movie is fresh in my mind. So basically the Best part of the whole movie is in the beginning,in the morgue with Jigsaws pecker right in your face.I debated on walking out right then in there, i saw Jigsaws pecker, theres nothing else that needs to be seen, but dammit i stayed. Fine it wasn't jigsaws pecker that made the opening good, but it was the graphic autopsy that took place. They literally showed you how an autopsy is done, and it looked pretty good, so far i was impressed. Then the games begin, they find a damn tape in his stomach, and here comes characters you've never fucking seen before, but were apparently on the case forever.

Basically what this movie does is throw a shit load of flash backs at you.You look at jigsaws past, they change the motive on why he does these stupid games, and they basically just expect you to remember every single detail of all the saw movies so you can understand this one.

In short this movie had too many twists and turns, too many changes in story when it comes to the last flick, too many characters to follow and give a shit about. At the end of the movie you just don't know why your watching it, and basically feel robbed.
But i would be a dumb ass if i said i felt robbed, basically i went to the bank knowing there was going to be a robbery!

Wait till this movie comes out on TBS!! Sorry if my review makes no sense, thats the movies fault!

Grade: D (for showing his pecker, would've got an F if there was no pecker!! j.k.)
