scream is more like yelling this time around, hopefully its last


SCREAM 4

Im a big fan of the scream movies. they are not the best movies ever but they are entertaining and fun to watch every now and then. my favorite scream is scream 2. why ? every character in that movies is fresh and new plus it has a really good soundtrack!

so i knew when the 3rd one ended that there had to be a fourth movie and when i found out that they were making it i was excited. why ? original cast lasting this long, same writer and director. so i was like oh ok, could be decent after all.

so the opening scene was eh ..somewhat clever and funny at the same time..but when the title SCREAM 4 came out and that stupid ass song behind it i was like alright wtf is up with that stupid song. so i was over that after a couple more curse words. so we see sidney getting out a car and stopping to look at her section of books that shes about to sign and sell in the next couple days.

dewey still has that character as a dumb cop, but only this time hes an officer but still stupid why did he become an officer? hes just better off as Doofy! LOL. 

gale looks hotter and still wants to catch the killer so she can write up a story.

so in this movie we are introduced to freshmeat. sidneys cousin that kinda looks like her and also to two film geeks who play off as a reference to billy & stew from the original SCREAM..but they just get on my nerves and look stupid.

throughout the movie there were a lot of moments where it copies the 1st movie, characters and even the whole setup towards the end when SPOILER ALERT..... when sidneys cousin is the killer along with the long haired film geek who gets stabbed by her cuz she wants the fame to herself cuz she blames sidney for always being in the spotlight and being famous and her having to always hear about it...sounds pretty lame to me! crazy bitch!

the final scene reminds me of halloween with jamie lee curtis trying to escape from her brother. it has that feeling. the movie just rapidly but at the same time goes really slow with pointless kills and pointless dialogue. all i care about is, who the fuck is  the killer and why is she trying to kill sidney ya know...kill important people..but in order to do that a movie has to have a good plot..in this case......it doesnt. from here on out all the movies will go straight to shit. i wouldnt be surprised if that motherfucker ends up in space.. to me..scream ended with part 3. no need for part 4.

life is all about .....

sometimes when i write or think about writing something in my blog...i go through rewrites in my head. as if my brain was a fuckin english professor  and then im like . yeah nvm...doesnt sound interesting...or naw..dont really like how that sounds. 


so the emotion that i will write about is change.

CHANGE

one big change that has happened in my life has been me moving to NY. its crazy how its been 7 months now. i remember it as if it was last week..at least certain parts feel like it was last week. I remember my last day in richmond, saying goodbye to my friends...i wasnt really sad about saying goodbye to them..i was excited to start my new life and i know that we would remain friends..but it does suck that i wouldnt be able to hang out with them anymore...no more high times...no more getting drunk...no more watching movies late night..no more pizza runs....no more 12am movie showings..no more life in richmond california.
i remember the night of my flight. my dad stayed home, and when he hugged me he gave me a note. i was trying so fuckin hard not to cry. as i got into the truck....i looked at my dad and said " adios apa" i was crying on the inside...inside i just wanted to hug him and be like..NO I DONT WANNA GO ..i wanna be with you guys..im gonna miss my family...the trip to the airport was surreal ...i couldnt believe that the day was finally here...ive been talking about it since high school. I would say..i want to move to NY and take pictures and become famous/known. 
...


finally it was time to say goodbye to my brother and my sisters..my friend yadira and my # woman in the world..my mom. as i got through security check i looked back and i could see my family waving to me. i waved back as they became nothing but a blur as water filled up my eyes.. I quickly turned my head and as i did. tears fell to the ground as i wiped them off and walked off..i kept thinking ...omg i cant believe this is it...im on my own......sigh.....

at first i was excited to be here..and doing this doing that...then i got homesick and that turned out to be a drunken phone call to one of my friends, Jay Perez..lol...i was so drunk in the st..crying and talking on the phone of how its been and how the industry is like and just how people with the ability to help you can try and take advantage of you...and you feel vulnerable and stuck and at the same time torn from making two decisions. do i ? or do i not ? that is the ?.. that made me hate the photo industry for a minute along with rebecca fain ( editor at XXL ) not really hate...but lets just say im not a fan..

I saw the devil,...

this isnt a horror movie at all...dont know why its being tagged with the horror category...maybe im thinking...cuz of the title and the gore. its along the lines of kill bill....very graphic and a lot of violence. the movie doesnt keep you at the edge of your seat , some scenes are suspenseful for a couple seconds which is good..but i wish there were more scenes like that throughout the film. the only character that you care about..and i wouldnt say care about like if he got hurt you would be like oh dam...its more like you just wanna see him kickass and beat the shit out of people.i like the concept of it though...treating serial killers how they treat their victims....but throughout the film i felt like he could have prevented innocent people getting killed by just ending his life when he had the chance..instead he goes on this cat and mouse chase with the killer...which i guess is the point of the movie...it drags towards the end when you think its over..its not over..this movie is 2hrs and 25min..you would think for a long ass movie like that the director would build an emotional connection with its audience...but instead show us a plethora of violence and gore and fuckin brutal ass murders...i was like dam...that looks fuckin real and disturbing..which i love seeing in movies...but i was just missing the connection with this one. 

i give it a 6& a half
