Two greats make an amazing song even better.

Bellator: Chandler vs. Alvarez

Saturday November 19th, 2011 had a great night of MMA fights with 2 potential fight of the year candidates offered by the UFC and Bellator respectively.  Wonderfully, Bellator offers their fights on Youtube and this is certainly a must watch as a top 10 lightweight defends his championship against the last man standing of Bellator's lightweight tournament.

Future (war) out.

Acts of Valor [Trailer]

U.S. Navy SEALs have quite the recent resume.  Whether it be pirates or terrorists, the public have been reminded just how elite SEALs have been.  Riding on that wave, this film trailer depicts "actual U.S. Navy SEAL missions".  I don't know how much of that is just marketing, but the scene with the sniped goon getting caught is so badass I can only imagine it's real.

Future (rough men stand ready) out.

Cee-Lo Green - Anyway [Music]

Some Cee-Lo goodness. It sounds like it was made for a romantic comedy. Some choice lyrics:

Cause no matter what I do
I know I can count on you
Cause baby you still love me anyway
For worse or for better
You make me better
I know you still love me anyway

Future out.

Joe Frazier (1944-2011)

Smokin' Joe Frazier passed away last week.  Most people know him as Muhammad Ali's greatest rival.  Many will forget he's an Olympic Gold Medalist.  He headlined the Fight of the Century and the Thrilla in Manila with Ali.  Their rivalry inside the ring matched their war of words outside of it.  In the Thrilla in Manila, Frazier was so tough, so stubborn that he fought literally blind as they pummeled each other.  He wouldn't quit, and would rather die than succumb to Ali.  His corner, thankfully, wouldn't let him.  In the end Frazier looked like he had a peanut allergy and had just ate a jug of peanut butter.  And then someone punched him in the face.

"I'm sorry Joe Frazier is mad at me.  I'm sorry I hurt him.  Joe Frazier is a good man, and I couldn't have done what I did without him, and he couldn't have done what he did without me.  And if God ever calls me to a holy war, I want Joe Frazier fighting beside me." -- Muhammad Ali

Drake - The Motto (featuring Lil' Wayne) [Music]

Album is dropping next week so the leaks have begun.  I wasn't really feeling this song initially but it grew on me.  Maybe because of the Tyga remix?  Whatever the case, I'm sure this will get plenty of radio plays. Some choice lyrics:

That’s really how you feel?
Cause the pimpin’ ice cold, all these bitches wanna chill
I mean maybe she won’t
Then again maybe she will
I can almost guarantee she know the deal

You catch how Weezy repped 17th Ward?

Future (cause I did) out.

Safe House [Trailer]

A CIA operative with almost no field experience must safeguard a brilliant rogue operative brought to his facility.  From the trailer it looks like a dash of Assault on Precinct 13 with a little bit of Man on Fire.  Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds star.


Future (No Church in the Wild) out.

Drake - Take Care [Music]

The title song of Drake's upcoming album, Take Care features Rihanna and a silky smooth track.  Some choice lyrics:

I’ll be there for you, I will care for you
I keep thanking you, just don’t know
Try to run from that, say you’re done with that
On your face girl, it just don’t show
When you’re ready, just say you’re ready
When all the baggage just ain’t as heavy
And the parties over, just don’t forget me

Future (take care) out.

Kenneth Cole Awearness

Kenneth Cole has redesigned the AIDs ribbon (making a double ribbon signifying how we're doubling our efforts) and is offering select items for sale with 100% of the proceeds going towards charity.  If you liked the RED campaign but didn't like how most of the proceeds didn't go to charity, you'll like Awearness.  It's the Kenneth Cole Foundation in support of amfAR and the MTV Staying Alive Foundation.

Cremo Shave Cream: Astonishingly Superior

 Let's be honest, shaving isn't fun.  Maybe shaving was a blast the first time you shaved your whiskers (or whatever else you shaved in your youth), but now it's more of a chore.  While it takes me about 2 days to get a 5 o'clock shadow, shaving that briar patch on the third day is enough of a pain for me that I've been on a quest to make shaving as pleasant as possible.
I tried the brands you've probably heard of (Gilette, Edge, Aveeno, Neutrogena, Nivea, Barbasol, Anthony, King of Shaves) before finally coming across Cremo Shave Cream.  I was using King of Shaves SSE Cooling Gel regularly prior because it offered a nice glide with a cooling feeling afterwards thanks to the menthol.  However, the cooling sensation would inevitably turn my skin dry.
Cremo Creme won me over because it provides a great, smooth glide, leaves my face soft and supple (yes, supple) afterwards and has a great bergamot scent.  I've noticed a marked reduction in cuts, and it's smooth enough to that I've shaved against the grain without injury.

Conan's Big Fat Gay Wedding

Project X

The man behind Old School and The Hangover movies brings another night where  things turn epic quick. I thought this was a horror film from the start, which may be a prelude to how dark this movie will get. I hope they don't try too hard though.


Future (smells like Superbad) out.

Grand Theft Auto V

Rockstar Games released the teaser for GTA V. I was hoping it would be set in Vice City, but it'll be set in Los Santos (the Vinewood sign was in Los Santos in GTA: San Andreas), possibly even the greater San Andreas area.  Once again a bad man trying to do good falls back on his old habits.



Future out.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

This game came from some humble roots.  The first game had a lot of heart but was just a new take of Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones.  It wasn't until Uncharted 2 that it really embraced the cinematic feel that the series is now renowned for.  The third installment comes out today.  You know you want this.



Future (Oh you Naughty Dog) out.
