The New Guy

That’s me. After a wonderful 21 months, I have left my post as PR Exec at RAPR Mileage Communications to brave other challenges. I am now ‘the new guy’ at FJ Benjamin (M).

I notice a recurring pattern with my ‘job-hop’ choices. The following is an estimated ‘round trip’ mileage count from home to my workplaces.

Home - Cinema Online = <20km | Petrol = Rm1.72 p/litre
Home – RAPR = 30km (+ RM3.20 toll) | Petrol = Rm1.92 p/litre
Home – FJ Benjamin = 50km (+ RM3.20 toll) | Petrol = Rm2.70 p/litre

Movie log: Fright Night 2 / Hellraiser IV: Bloodline

Fright Night 2 (1988) - 3 stars

As entertaining as the original









Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996) - 3.25 stars

Set in three timelines, the fourth installment goes back to the origins of the mysterious puzzle box and delivers an interesting chapter to the series.

Note: This is the last Hellraiser movie (to date) that was released theatrically and marks the end of Pinhead's story

Movie log: Hellraiser III : Hell On Earth

Hellraiser III : Hell On Earth (1992) - 2.75 stars

Pinhead goes Hollywood and flies solo in this one and heads to America leaving his troupe of misfits behind and finds new friends at the local Zouk. An over indulgent script desecrates the mystery of Pinhead's character, but I think that this is the Pinhead that most remember. Terry Farrell made this sequel watchable. Oh and don't forget the one liners.

Note: Hellraiser III theme song by Motörhead!

Movie log: Hellbound - Hellraiser II

Hellbound - Hellraiser II (1988) - 2.75 stars

Gory and grotesque. Weak plot and new characters but shows a more in-depth side of Pinhead and pals. A worthy sequel.

Movie log: Fright Night

Fright Night (1985) - 3 stars

A simple, no brainer 80s vampire horror/comedy film that is a rather entertaining watch. The scary ass poster that I remember as a kid freaked me out.

Movie log: Made Of Honour / Superhero Movie

Made Of Honour (2008) - 3 stars

Formulatic and predictable. The way it should be.









Superhero Movie (2008) - 1.5 stars

The parady bits of Dr. Stephen Hawking made me laugh. The rest is shite.

Movie log: Tales From The Dark Side: The Movie

Tales From The Dark Side: The Movie (1990) - 2.5 stars

An anthology of four stories (with the first one being a 'wraparound' story) from the likes of Stephen King & George A. Romero. Unfortunately, the only stories worth watching are the introductory 'wraparound' and the final one.

Fact! - Cast includes Christian Slater, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, James Remar, and Matthew Lawrence!

Movie log: The Incredible Hulk

The Incredible Hulk (2008) - 3.5 stars

Promoted with a less than enthusiastic trailer, this version of "The Incredible Hulk" shines better before he turns green. A notch lower than the superior "Iron Man".

Movie log: Hellraiser / Fast Track: No Limits

Hellraiser - 2.5 stars

Creative premise but lack of personalities for such iconic characters like Pinhead and his crew. I wonder how the sequels are like.








Fast Track: No Limits - 2.5 stars

Despite being unoriginal and cheap looking, there's always fun to be had with pimped out Nissans and Toyotas.

Fact! - The female lead was the Pink Time Ranger!

Movie log: One Dark Night

One Dark Night (1983) - 1 star

Lame @$$ 80s horror flick

Working Girl (1988) - 3.5 stars

Creepshow III - 1 star

A cheap bullshit movie that isn't even an official sequel to the cult series!

Wendy's 3/4 Pound VS McD's Big Mac VS Carl's Jr Superstar VS BK's Whopper
--

Wendy's 3/4 Pounder is like Randy Orton. New, fresh, cut, and is one BAD (in a good way) chunk of meat.

McDonald's Big Mac, the original superburger is like Hulk Hogan. Immortal.





Carl's Jr's Superstar is like the Hearbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. Sexy, pretty, and packs on hell of a kick.





Burger King's Whopper is like Triple H. It good and meaty, but there's just so much you can do with a grilled patty

The winner?.. You tell me.
