It's review time. Tonight I'm going to be reviewing a movie and iTunes. First, the movie. Last night I watched a movie called "Vampire Effect". This was an awesome movie. It's from Hong Kong, so it dubbed over in English but it's dubbed really well. I wish we could make movies like this here in America. This was "Blade" meets "The Matrix". There's a scene in which the two lead female stars first meet and get into a wicked fight. Wicked, I know but it's the only word I can come up with to descibe it. If you have digital cable or satellite and get Stars Action channel, watch for this. The final fight scene is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Those asian directors really know how to make a movie. Also, Jackie Chan has a cameo in it. So you know he has a great fight scene.

iTunes sucks. I won a free download from that Pepsi/Apple thing their doing. So I go there and have to download a 20MB file on my 56K modem just to get it. When I download the song, it's in a format called M4P. And you can't play it with Windows Media Player, you can only play through iTunes. I don't think you can even put it on an MP3 player, except guess which one. That's right, the overpriced iPod. Great song too, The Who's Squeez Box live. But you can burn it to a CD and rip it from there, I think. But that's a big hassle for just one song. Another downside to iTunes. Well, all these legal download sites actually. No rare or unreleased songs. If it's not on a CD you can buy in stores, you won't get it there. I like to hear the suff I can't find in stores. Alternate versions of songs and rare, unreleased songs. Like this one version of The Guess Who's No Time I have. It's an extended version. Damn RIAA anyway.
