Assignment

This week I have finally decided on what to do about my networked media assignment, I have decided to make a online blog - exhibition of photo's of mine. I chose to do this as i already know how to operate flicker and have posted photos there in the past.

hopefully I will be able to do a good job of this assignment and get a good mark I'm not sure about much of the details yet but it should be fairly easy once i get going.

OMG

This disturbing video is a must watch I was shown this 2 days ago and thought i had to post it, watch it and I defy you to not be shocked. this is from you tube and courtesy of Lexgyoyo.

The strangers

Last week i went and saw the new horror movie The Strangers! it was pretty good, it's one of those rare movies that sticks to old school horror staples and does them well to make a good air of tension and set a dark mood. by keeping the plot believable it makes the movie much more intense with two really good things in particular. The first being the soundtrack which comes from an old vynal record player in the living room of the house which during the movie plays through different songs and at it's best point actually gets caught in a loop re playing the same part of one song for a good 4-5 minutes in the background creating a really creepy atmosphere.

and the second being the old pull back the curtains to see the scary stalker facing you though the glass which was done perfectly to leave you convinced that by the time she looks through the sliding door he will be gone, content to play mind games for a while longer. this isnt the case and results in a shocking scene.

this was a good movie and is well worth the cost to go and see it.

UFC 87

UFC 87 was not the main event I expected! after gathering with friends to see Rodger Huerta lose to Kenny Florian I was in a state of shock, not only should Florian been defeated but, should also be at this very moment undergoing re-constructive surgery for the sever beating Huerta was expected to deliver. However Kenny Florian did come out victorious much to my dismay and now seems to be in a good position for a shot at the lightweight title held by BJ Pen.

Brock Lesnar Dominated Heath Herring in the Co-main event match, punching heath Herring off the planet in the first round and then controlling him for the rest of the match to win on points by a fair margin.

And in unsurprising news George St.Pierre retained the welterweight title against Jon Fitch in a fight that seemed to be more like a training session than and actual title defense. by the second round it was clear that GSP was in total control and happy just to win on points (by a large Margin) rather than try to get a knockout or submission victory.

Week Post 3

This week I worked on adding lists to websites I often visit because hopefully they will be helpful for others wanting to know more about these things. I added a picture and another blog i read on the internet that has opinions and interviews with UFC fighters which are really interesting if you're a fan. I also created a Bloglines account. A movie i suggest everyone look into and one that I will see shortly is Taken ,out on august 14, is you're bad guy's take daughter, fathers seeks revenge and bad guy's die kind of flick. it still looks like it could be quite a good movie despite the simple plot. I have a link that will take you to Ign Movies where you can find out more.

Phobia

Awesome head kick

I saw this kick a while ago but now that I'm hosting this blog I thought posting it would be a good idea. this kick delivered by Michael Gonzaga to Mirko Cro-Cop is one of the most brutal strikes i've seen in the UFC.

Follow this link to see this brutal kick on youtube.
