This is the story of a sad flute, a laughing baby and a weeping sword

I will admit this is cheating when I heard this in the opening narration I immediately pulled out my phone and typed it in, I knew it would be my title for the review. Opening lines like this is why I used to tune in to Kung Fu theater every Saturday afternoon to watch this epic tales of martial artist on quests of vengeance, self fulfillment or for honor and glory. It's a story of a soon to be hero who may not be perfect but he will grow on you and make you happy to have come along for the ride, so to the movie:

The Warrior's Way

The trailers for "The Warrior's Way"

The rite

This is the new age exorcism movie again. Loosely based on supposed recent event Anthony Hopkins as the head exorcist up against a new "scourge" or demons/demonic possessions. He has a new young assistant/apprentice who is skeptical about the "veracity" of this slew of possession claims.

It looks decent, it looks like its not so much in the vein of the blair witch/haunting in where ever but the older school movies. Where while some may have been skeptical debunking was not at the top of the agenda. Probably a good date movie if you date is jumpy and is the "hold me close, keep me safe" type might not be for the faint of heart.

Drive angry 

Now let me say this first some people are gonna hear the opening narration, look and Nick cage and scream "ghost rider rip off". Let me say this to those folks:not unless they wanna pay Disney/Marvel a crapload of dough.

Nick Cage plays a dead man who escaped from hell to save his daughter or his daughters daughter(its a little murky). Some cult murdered two of the women that survived the punished soul and he didn't take to kindly to that. He does get one hell of a one liner though this demon tracking him says "you better hope the devil doesn't find out" to which Cage replies "Or what he's not gonna let me back in?". Love it might have to watch this movie iy looks a little cheesy kinda "Memphis Reigns meets The Spirit of Vengeance" since in Drive Angry its cars not a motorcycle from hell(aptly named the Hell Cycle). UnGodly(slight pun intended) weapons, big explosions, a femme fatale and some possible demonic butt kicking. Could be fun.

Season of the witch 

Second time seeing this trailer the exact same trailer I saw last time I'll hit imdb to give you character names. Same synopsis well known storied hero is charged with taking an accused witch to some distant land to have her powers broken and them be burned at the stake.

Behman(Nicolas Cage) is not sure all is what it seems and a battle between two armies and POSSIBLY metaphysical good and evil may be about to commence. Is she an evil witch or demonic concubine or some other strange empowered female. Dunno again swords and sorcery if done right tend to make a lot of money.

The fighter(the mickey ward story)

Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale star in this Biopic about Mickey Ward, the Boston prize fighter known for his huge heart. Wahlberg plays ward showing his rise from his early days as a stepping stone, a hard nosed fighter who didn't finish his fights well and thus made his opponents look good. Anybody who owned Fight Night Round Two has probably heard the intro about the wars fought between Mickey Ward and Arturo Gatti.

Ward is a pretty decent fighter so actually I might watch this one even though I'm not a huge mickey ward fan(hey I'm sorry but the more you made Gatti bleed but couldn't get the ref to stop the fight the more likely you were about to lose. Gatti was like a real life Rocky Balboa the second you counted him out you were on the canvas) but I have seen him fight a few times and I respect the mans hustle.

Okay around the corner from the house time to bed this one add the links and the edits and post it

Yea Yea I know where's the monday update blog

Yall are all dieing to see what happened to me this weekend, or how my morning is going, or what glorious bit of minutia is going on in my life.

Thats it, I got nathan. I haven't blogged yet because nothing blog worthy has happened. I dropped my baby brother off in south haven, came back reloaded a friends computer, I'm scanning another computer and as of right now, I'm bored. Sometimes it goes like this, yes I may be a little cranky that my damn Christmas to New Years plans fell through AND?

Actually I'm not that cranky, I'm just still groggy from last night. My wife is kicking tail in her Fantasy Football pool(so YAAAY muffin), my team lost, by 1 mistake alone, and I played black ops as usual. It was kind of uneventful, I guess I could have gone to the theater to see tangled I mean I've reviewed shrek(I think) I did megamind, I just didn't realize tangled had come out. I don't mind good NEW retellings of age old fairy tales. Hell Shrek was a breath of fresh air, the hero isn't always perfect, the damsel isn't always in "Distress" and sometimes love takes funny turns.

This weekend though it will probably all be about "The Warrior's Way" that movie looks like it has Awesome Sauce poured all over it. Ninja's, cowboys, big explosions, martial arts yes if this movie sucks I will be heart broken but I will be there ANYWAY because I may like it(Like I did MACHETE') even if the critics don't(besides usually critics hate good movies anyway, I don't know why movie will have made billions but get lousy NON paid reviews.

So okay monday blog is up and out the way, like any other blogger interaction helps so a little feed back, another fine link to "delete this site", hell a quit blogging you suck would be nice every once in a while(what I love trolls as much as the next guy I'm the site administrator I can abuse you then bounce you) I hope every one had a great weekend and is having a good monday(yeah like any monday is a good monday you USUALLY have to go back to work which SUCKS)
