Review: Van Helsing (2004)

Overview:

I was told about two weeks ago to write a review that is Halloween oriented. Well I pondered over it and found nothing, but on a lonely Saturday night with nothing to do and no where to go, I turned on the T.V. and bam! Van Helsing. This movie has everything going for it concerning Halloween too bad I’m a little late. With the story set in the time frame of all the original baddies of horror, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde.

Story:

Written and Directed by Stephen Sommers, the story presented is amazingly detailed. Van Helsing is based off of the character Abraham Van Helsing from Bram Stokers novel Dracula. The story begins with a black and white intro involving the late Dr. Frankenstein and his life’s work, along with Dracula and his bride trying to obtain something. This intro is meant to confuse you and wrap you into the story. Following the intro, you meet Van Helsing (Jackman) and start to understand his character. He is a sort of monster hunter for the Knights of the Holy Order. He kills Mr. Hyde in Paris and returns to the Vatican for his next mission.

PackRat Paragraphs: Twilight Princess Belt Buckle

Twilight Princess Belt BuckleAlright, so anyone who’s ever met me knows I’m a huge Zelda fan. I mean HUGE. That is why I had no problem dropping $20 for this awesome belt buckle I found at Hot Topic a while back. It’s definitely far from the most awesome piece of Zelda related fandom I own, but it’s still pretty nifty.

I’ve found it for as high as thirty bucks on the e-webs, which is $10 more than I paid. I imagine by the time I’m 65 it should be worth a fine sum in rupees!

Well, We’re up to 2,000 Hits!

Just wanted to give a quick status update and let everyone know that Everyview has hit 2,000 views! I just wanted to thank everyone for coming by the site and I’m glad you guys all like it.

I also have an announcement to make! Since we hit 2,000 views I’ve decided to start saving money to buy the domain name Everyview.com. The only problem is that it already belongs to some company and they are selling it for the ridiculous price of like $650!! You guys should make donations! Not really.

Anyway, thanks a million, guys. I really appreciate your support! And as always, keep reading Everyview!

Brave Souls Live at Wesleyan Church

I was recently invited to do coverage for a local Christian band called Brave Souls at the Northside Wesleyan Church here in Terre Haute. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to help get the word out about some more talented local musicians. I arrived with my camera in hand and left thoroughly impressed with some killer footage, ringing ears and, believe it or not an improved religious outlook, which is exactly what the band set out to accomplish.

Unlike previously covered band Caught in the Headlights, which is composed of some talented up and coming new comers to the Terre Haute music scene, most of Brave Souls’ members are seasoned veterans and it shows. The band consists of Travis ,Matt Buell on bass, Bryar Nevins and Jeremy on guitar, David on keyboards, and Adam slamming the skins.

Instead of doing scheduled updates, I’ve decided to start doing a weekly recap feature. If you’ll remember correctly, I was never really able to deliver on what I promised in the Scheduled Updates, and I would instead review other things that weren’t scheduled. This’ll hopefully work out easier since I’m just telling you what’s been posted throughout the week and a link to it in case you missed it!

This weeks recap:

Brave Souls Live Coverage Up Tomorrow

I just got back from the Brave Souls show. I took plenty of video which I’m uploading to YouTube now, fingers crossed it doesn’t freeze up on me, and have already started writing an article to let everyone know about the band.

The thing is I’m tired and I have to be at work at 6:30 in the AM, so I’m going to sleep now. All you eager kids’ll just have to wait until tomorrow to see what I thought about the band’s performance.

See you guys tomorrow at about 4 when I post the article, until then go read some of the other posts on the site. Chances are you’ll find something to interest you. G’night!

Review: BAWLS Guarana

BAWLSOverview:

From the BAWLS website:

BAWLS Guarana started as the brainchild of a then college student who was looking for an alternative to coffee. As part of a class project, he came up with BAWLS – a premium, carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage made with Guarana. Named for the caffeinated ‘Bounce’ it gives you, BAWLS gets its flavor and kick from the Amazonian Guarana berry, which contains a natural form of caffeine nearly three times stronger than that found in traditional sodas.

Using the untapped potential of Guarana in the United States as a source for caffeine in soft drinks, BAWLS Guarana took off with surprising strength on November 14, 1996 in Miami, FL. People instantly fell in love with the refreshing, crisp taste of BAWLS, while being able to enjoy the rush of caffeine the drink packs.

Now on the market for nearly 12 years, BAWLS Guarana is available nationwide and its popularity continues to grow among caffeine-deprived, refreshment-seeking techies, students, professionals and athletes in need of a Bounce.
