A film by PF Bentley.
I must admit that although I’m not a big fan of poi I do love steamed taro. Some beautiful filmmaking by my buddy PF Bentley who now calls the Friendly Isle home. Shot with a Canon 7D HD-dSLR and GoPro Hero.

2012 – The Movie Review
Sunday, November 15th, 2009*Spoiler Alert* DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW UNLESS YOU’VE ALREADY SEEN THE MOVIE!
Noble scientist tries to save the world but it’s a secret (he lives)
Explosions, crashes, earthquakes, devestation (this is the best part)
Doom kept secret by government, those who stumble upon secret murdered

Whackjob into conspiracy theories tells divorced dad the secret (he dies)
Explosions, crashes, earthquakes, devestation, tidal waves (this is the best part)
Boyfriend of ex-wife (he dies)
Tramp dies
Divorced dad has overly long, melodramatic scene with ex-wife before he saves the day in the nick of time (she lives)
Explosions, crashes, earthquakes, devestation, tidal waves (this is the best part)
Noble scientist macks President’s daughter (scientist & President’s daughter live, President dies)
Mankind survives (about 300-400K live if you don’t count Africa)
Dad is hero, stands in gleaming sunset with ex-wife and kids all happy
*footnote: President is black, Asians in background and minor hero roles, Russians are bad (but do good things in tough situations), common sense not included in the plot.
I give the movie 1.5 stars, maybe 3.5 stars if you turn your brain off halfway though. Did I mention that the explosions, crashes, earthquakes, devestation and tidal waves are the best part? www.whowillsurvive2012.com

A film short by Joe Sekiya
Movie of the Year…2505
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007
Bought a great movie, Idiocracy by Mike Judge. Yeah, it’s the same guy who brought us Beavis and Butthead and Office Space. It’s a dark comedy about what could happen in the world if we keep dumbing it down. The movie is hilarious at the fun it pokes at big corporations and I’m not even sure how the heck they got away with using so many corporate names and logos (Costco, Carl’s Jr, Starbucks, amongst others). But then again maybe they got permission somehow since instead of using the brand name Gatorade they use Brawndo instead.
The trailers for the movie online are terrible in that they don’t make sense out of context and because the movie drops the F-Bomb quite often some of the funnier lines couldn’t make it into the trailers. There is a rumour that 20th Century Fox didn’t do anything to promote the movie at all because of the blowback from corporations depicted in the movie along with FOX News appearing in the movie.
The voiceover narrator in the movie says, The years passed, mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources where focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections. I think that sums it up.
What’s up with those previews?

Went to see Apocalypto tonight. Pretty savage scenes in the movie but entertaining. If you don’t like to read subtitles you won’t like this movie, it’s all in Maya so you’ll have to read. Or you can wait for the DVD to come out and probably watch natives running through the jungle with proper British accents or something in the dub. And if you are afraid of nightmares you might want to skip this movie.
One of the many previews and commercials (and there were a ton) for the movie was a long ad for the National Guard. The ad looked quite new with the newest tanks, weapons, BDUs, etc. The ad had images that stressed how the National Guard helps out in things like hurricanes (lots of images like hurricane Katrina rescues) and you serve places like wooded snowy forests, or other forest area that look like the Pacific Northwest or Germany and drive tanks through mud puddles on roads. I don’t think they had any images that looked like they were in the Mid East region fighting a war. And to top it off the closing background video image is a flag waving behind some title to join the Guard. But the flag was a 48 star US flag. How do I know? Because the rows of stars weren’t offset, they were straight even rows. WTF?
I mean, they want to brainwash people into thinking in the National Guard you’ll only serve at home domestically while both Alaska and Hawaii don’t even count as states.
Jak sie masz! Very Nice!

Saw the movie Borat tonight. I laughed, I cried…okay I laughed so hard I was crying. Some folks walked out of the theater during the movie, guess it was too much for them.
Some post-movie pizza as Kitty looks up Borat clips on YouTube. You can also find some of the clips on Borat’s MySpace page.
Brendan chomps on some pizza as some alien death-ray light shines over him.
