Religulous (2008) [Movie]
Bill Maher is probably the most famous celebrity-atheist and one of my heroes. In this documentary he goes around to some of the most religious places and reveals all the hypocrisy of the people there. This is one of those movies that can turn an ag...
Jesus Camp (2006) [Movie]
As I may have mentioned before, I once attended a Christian camp (even though I grew up Muslim, my parents insisted that I go since it wasn’t supposed to be very religious). Once I got there I realized that my parents were wrong- the camp was ...
Hell House (2001) [Movie]
I was invited to a Hell House back in Middle School, but THANKFULLY I didn’t go to it. After seeing this documentary, I realized that Hell Houses are basically another scared-straight method of pushing vulnerable kids into converting. Basically...
Requiem For A Dream (2000) [Movie]
Requiem For a Dream is one of those movies that you just need to see once. In fact, after I saw this movie I felt soo drained that I didn’t want to watch any other movies for the remainder of the week. I don’t think I’ve seen a movi...
Middle Of Nowhere (2008) [Movie]
(yes this movie is in English, I could only find the German DVD cover though) Middle of Nowhere is an indie movie that reminded me a lot of The Wackness, but without the hip-hop. In other words, it’s a teenage summer romance about a guy who sel...
The Battle Of Shaker Heights (2003) [Movie]
This isn’t one of the best teen movies I’ve seen, but it’s enough to put you into a good mood. It addresses things like putting up with your bratty friends because they’re rich, having a shitty after school job, and being obse...
“How To Save A Life” by The Fray [Music Video]
I watch this video when I get depressed, and it always makes me feel better. The strange thing is, I knew about The Fray about a year before they got popular at my school because my cousin had the leaked album. I remember listening to the album and t...
8 Mile (2002) [Movie]
I got this requested a LOOONG time ago (sorry KillaB) and I’m just now getting to it. 8 Mile came out in 2002 and became the number one movie in America. At the same time Eminem had the number one hit song (Lose Yourself) and the number one alb...
Gay PSA With Hilary Duff [Video]
When I was in middle school Hilary Duff was the hot “it” girl. Yeah, she was sweet and innocent I guess, but everyone and their mama still thought she was gonna be like Britney Spears one day and just come out with slutty songs and promis...
Cutlass (Short Movie) [Video]
This is a short 16 minute movie written and directed by the talented and beautiful Kate Hudson (the actress from my favorite movie Almost Famous). Even though she isn’t actually in it, the super-fine Kristen Stewart is…so that’s goo...
Bart Got A Room (2009) [Movie]
I’ll admit it, I never got a prom date. Don’t get me wrong, I knew a few girls who I knew would go with me…but they were either obnoxiously geeky or fat. So I just went with some friends and ended up having an ok time. This movie wo...
Montel Williams Show - Medical Weed Episode [Video]
For those of you that don’t know, Montel Williams is a TV talk show host. Kind of like Oprah, but a guy and with less fans (then again, Oprah is probably a man too). One thing that you may not know about him is that he smokes weed EVERYDAY befo...
The Hangover Is A Rip-Off! [Video]
So, I saw the Hangover about a week ago and I couldn’t stop thinkin…where have I seen this before? Yeah, it was kinda funny, but it had a lot of stereotypes and unrealistic moments (like when they got handed tuxedos from some random van o...
Adventureland (2009) [Movie]
I wanted to see Adventureland in the theatres because I heard it was from the director of Superbad, so I just HAD to watch it. But by the time I got around to it, all the movie theaters near my house didn’t have it playing anymore (probably bec...
“My Mom” & “Beautiful” by Eminem [Songs]
As some of you might know, I’m a huge Eminem fan and when I found out his new album had leaked I quickly rushed to download it…only to be disappointed. Obviously the man has been through some shit with depression and drugs, but he barely ...
Little Miss Sunshine (2006) [Movie]
This dramedy movie gets better every time I see it (ok, I’ve only seen it twice, but it’s true). The dialogue is so real it’s almost like the writer spied on my family to inspire some of these characters. The music is great too. If ...
“Perfect” by Simple Plan [Song]
Wow, I just listened to this song for the first time in about 4 years and I have to say it’s cheesy as hell. I used to hate my dad…I mean REALLY hate him and I used to listen to this song occasionally (yeah, I knew it was cheesy when I wa...
“Walking Disaster” by Sum-41 [Song]
Man I really hate being home…I was constantly listening to this song before my parents picked me up from the dorm. Musically, it’s typical Sum-41, but lyrically it’s pretty good. A “Walking Disaster” is pretty much what ...
Blink-182 - The Urethra Chronicles [Documentary]
Words can’t describe how happy I was when I heard Blink-182 got back together! I seriously can’t WAIT until they come to my city cuz i’ll go friggin CRAZY at the concert!!! This documentary gives an insight to blink-182 like never b...
Lilya 4-ever (w/ English Subs Embedded) (2002) [Movie]
I’ve wanted to share this movie for a long time with you guys, but I didn’t think a lot of you were mentally prepared for such a disturbing film. This movie is a fictional account of what some sex slaves go through, however the subject of...
Elephant (2003) [Movie]
A lot of people get pissed off when I say I don’t like this movie. Well, guess what? I DON’T FUCKING LIKE IT! It’s not as if it were the REAL Columbine events or anything- in fact, it’s a pretty boring movie overall. Just lots...
“White Houses” by Vanessa Carlton [Song]
Hands down, pants down, THIS is the best song about sex ever. Most people don’t know that this is really about Vanessa losing her virginity. It’s really beautiful and I’m always mesmerized by the instruments and their arrangement in...
“Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera [Music Video]
This was the video that made me realize how talented Christina Aguilera was (and that the actually might be an music artist and not just a pop-sellout). EVERYTHING about this video is just..well…beautiful. Christina looks great, the song is gre...
