withinyouwithoutyou

we were talking
about the space between us all
and the people
who hide themselves behind a wall
of illusion
never glimpse the truth
then it's far too late
when they pass away

we were talking
about the love we all could share
when we find it
to try our best to hold it there
with our love, with our love
we could save the world, if they only knew

try to realize it's all within yourself
no one else can make you change
and to see you're really only very small
and life flows on within you and without you

we were talking
about the love that's gone so cold
and the people
who gain the world and lose their soul
they don't know
they can't see
are you one of them

when you've seen beyond yourself
then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there
and the time will come when you see we're all one
and life flows on within you and without you

2010's best CUTTING EDGE action movie. Ladies and gentlemen, MACHETE review

This summer has been pretty action packed in the theaters, you've got some dream kung-fu in INCEPTION, you've got all your favorite action movie stars from the past 30 years found duking it out together in the EXPENDABLES, and sparkly vampires fighting questionably gay werewolves in TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE. But nothing can prepare you for the last action movie of the summer, MACHETE! Not even the big pot brownie that I ate before watching this movie. If you don't have any background information on this movie, I'll que you in on who directed this and what to expect. If you haven't seen 2007's Double Feature GRINDHOUSE featuring back to back movies directed by Quintin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. Many people know and love Tarantino's films and their unique movie styles but I feel as though Rodriguez's history is not so celebrated even though he started in movies around the same time as Quintin. Maybe it just seems that way because he usually never stars in his own films like Tarantino does. Either way, I love and respect Rodriguez films even though I'm not such a great fan of action movies. He was the mind behind some of my favorite action movies such as DESPERADO, ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO and SIN CITY. He collaborated with Tarantino back in 1996 to make the best vampire flick, FROM DUSK TILL DAWN starring George Clooney and Harvey Keitel. The only film I hate him for are those retarded ass SPY KIDS movies. Fuck that, plus I just read that he is in the process of making a SPY KIDS 4 in 3-D like the third one. God damnit, that shits gonna blow. But this is Machete! And damnit, what has he done with my wife and daughter!!!! For this style movie, the story line was surprisingly in depth and thought provoking. Sure it was gory as hell and pretty ridiculous over all but it maintained a fast paced entertaining thrill ride up until one final shoot out between the Mexicans and the U.S. Border patrol. Danny Trejo puts on a killer performance among a hit cast including Robert DeNiro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguiz, Stevan Seagal, Cheech Marin, and Lindsay Lohan. Machete gets the women, Machete kills the bad guys, Machete don't text.

----------------------------BOTTOM LINE----------------------------------

MACHETE = 8 out of 10

Take us OUT,
