Loco 4 That Loco

As many of our faithful readers know, this blog is written by citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Many of our readers also like to enjoy a casual Four Loko for time to time. The Virginia state government sees the impending death of Four Loko and wants to put it to use. Four Lokos are now being distilled into ethanol.

Next time you get to a Sobriety check point in VA your car might be more drunk than you.

"We Movin' Like Berny"

Movin' Like Berny has got to be the most under appreciated dance to hit the viral video dance crazed internet. Those who grew up in the 80s and early 90s are probably familiar with the classic movie "Weekend at Bernie's." Who would have thought turning that movie into a dance could be so smooth? The instructions to the dance are rather simple, when it's the weekend hold yo head back like you gotta nose bleed and move like Berney. The raps are better than anything I have heard from Weezy F Baby too IMO.

Netflix TV Remote Button? Say WHAAA

Well I guess we don't really need regular TV anymore people, Netflix is changing the game. Again. The crazy thing is that nobody knows its coming. Netflix announced from the Consumer Electronics Show on January 4th that they have teamed up with a number of the world's leading consumer electronics companies  in a development effort to place Netflix-branded one-click buttons on remotes that operate Internet connected TVs, Blu-ray disc players, and other devices that connect the Internet to the TV. 

Companies set to start releasing remotes THIS SPRING include Best Buy's in-house Dynex brand, Haier, Memorex, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, and Toshiba. 

So basically Netflix is flying under the radar silently making features like OnDemand, and quite possibly TV in its entirety, their bitch. 

Exit Through The Gift Shop

Exit Through The Gift Shop is one of the greatest documentaries I have ever had the pleasure to watch. The documentary is filmed with the same type of refreshing creativity similar to the creativity possessed by the subjects within the film itself. Although art and the practice of film-making are not generally viewed as exciting for many, this film has the audacity, humor, and pleasantly anomalous qualities that make it a success for any viewer. The transformation from a disgruntled yet determined film maker to a widely popular artist is one that leaves me in awe. The criticism Thierry receives from his contemporaries for his work makes me wonder how much his success actually stems from skilled entrepreneurship. Either way, there is something charming about Mr. Brainwash and his road to artistic fame. One can also truly appreciate Banksy and his innovative and creative approach to art. After seeing the success of Banksy and his buddy Thierry it makes me wonder if there is a future section in an art history book for street art and their versions of pop-art. I presume many will watch this film and view it as a mockery of art and its current status in pop culture. I believe this film is more of a representation of the inability to put boundaries on art. However you take it, the bizarre and visually amusing art pictured throughout the movie will amaze you. I mean, who doesn't want to look at a giant elephant painted red and gold? That's art isn't it?

Yes, the film is on Netflix, go watch it.....

Netflix Instant Watch

This week on Instant Watch Last Call suggest watching...

Shutter Island

Shutter Island was one of the best movies of 2010.  With Scorcese and DiCaprio together on an homage to Hitchcock this movie is a must-see.  If at all possible read Dennis Lehane's book first.

Zombieland

Zombies...Nuff Said

Arrested Development: The Entire Series 

This is one of the most underrated shows ever.  It is hilarious from beginning to end.  With short episodes it is an easy watch when you have a little time.

NFL Playoffs

Yeezy taught me...

PAUSE....

we are just a few days into 2011 and Kanye wants to continue his dominance in the rap industry...I know many will argue but I think Yeezy had the best year of any artist...G.O.O.D. Friday's were amazing...and everyone, I mean everyone tried to release new tracks on a weekly basis...the other artist didnt even get a consideration from me....

But the point of this post...something that probably got me so excited about whats about to come...KANYE WEST and JAY-Z joint album to come out within the week...hip hop is this really going to be the standard for 2011? a full album from 2 of the top 5 rappers in the game; already on the same label...WOWZERS

C. Breezy vs The Great Wall

To bring in the New Year, Love Night Club (reopening for the 10th plus time since I turned 18) had a special evening with a long list of special guest...though getting a private invitation from a good friend, (also Dirty Money's back up dancer) I had to turn it down to hang out with some of the other individuals posting on this blog....

Chris Brown and John Wall were both in attendance...and for about 2.5 minutes were the center of attention at Love battling to the Dougie arguably one of the worst songs and dances of 2010...ladies enjoy...




2NASTY

Netflix Instant Watch

Starting today every week Last Call will update you with three things you need to be watching on Instant Watch...

Every Season of 24

One of the greatest tv shows of all time, 24, keeps you on the edge of your seat for 8 full seasons. Jack Bauer rivals John McClane as America's truest hero.

Top 5 Coen Movies

Honorable Mentions: Raising Arizona, A Serious Man, O Brother Where Art Thou

5. True Grit (2010)

Marked by another great cast, magnificent cinemaphotography, and brilliant dialogue; True Grit scores big time. The Coen's do not produce a typical Hollywood story telling experience in True Grit. Other than the dialogue, the film is rather simple. The Coen's create great films through the way they depict stories and put it to film.

4. Miller's Crossing (1990)

An early film from the Coen's that showcased very raw directing. The characters within Miller's Crossing were very well developed and Turturro's performance was brilliant. The film executes its mission as a great gangster film, while still portraying the same type of dark humour synonymous with Coen movies. A must watch for any true Coen fan.

3. The Big Lebowski (1998)

"The Dude abides." The Big Lebowski is the funniest and most quotable Coen movie. The casting is absolutely ideal with big comedic performances from Buscemi, Bridges, and Goodman. One can tell that the brothers had a lot of fun masterminding this film. Dialogue is at its best and viewers will find themselves finding a new funny line every time they watch. I am a proud member of The Big Lebowski cult following and I must say, the love this movie has received from many is completely warranted. Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion man

2. No Country For Old Men (2007)

No Country For Old Men is one of the most widely appreciated Coen movies, having earned 8 nominations and 4 Golden Globe awards. It will take ten years for this film to receive the type of appreciation and respect it deserves from mindless critics, because that is any film's respect maturation date. Critics are often under the influence that older is always better. Although the film showcases no music and is predominately shot in an austere desert setting, it still possesses a beautiful cinematic style. Bardem's performance is a chilling one that found him a best performance Golden Globe award. Similar to older works like Fargo, No Country portrays astounding dialogue that creates for another humorous and witty, yet dark film.

1. Fargo (1996)

Fargo is a true American classic that provides the best depiction of the Coen's "story-telling" abilities. The film shows a very mature and extreme case of greed while possessing humorous qualities. The Coens also give an accurate account of the Northwest small town style of life; something unique and unknown to most movie-goers. Frances Mcdormand plays the role of a police officer, and epitomizes the classic literary and cinematic hero. Of all the brilliant Coen movies, the duo executed their purpose and goal most effectively throughout this movie.

Bottoms Up

In my Trey Songs voice.."Bottoms Up"...so doing this stumbledupon I came across one of the greatest inventions I have seen in awhile...

Though I am not a big beer drinker I cannot lie this joint still goes hard...now is there anyway we can do this for bottles of rozay?

STOP BOOING LEBRON!!!!!

Although 3 of the 4 guys who write this blog absolutely disagree with me, Lebron is a boss and the Heat are the shit. Following the Heat's astounding victory over the Lakers and Lebron's triple-double respect needs to be given where it is due. There have been a few arguments made against Lebron that have been debunked throughout the beginning of this season. I will address them now:

In Miami Lebron came in as Robin and D-Wade is Batman...

While there is no doubt that Miami is Wade County, Florida, Lebron's performance speaks for itself. Lebron is averaging 24 points, 7 assists, and 7 boards while Wade averages 24 points, 6 assists, and 4 boards. Anyone with a simple understanding of arithmetic could see this is a two man show.

Lebron cries too much

Washington Wizards

So when checking ESPN this morning I come across the Washington Wizards making it on the front page without it being about John Wall. So what else could it be about...Andre Blatche and Javeel McGee.  Now being from DC and being in the clubs every week guess who else I see out every time they are in town...these two fools...I am not surprised one bit that they finally were involved in an altercation outside of a club. What fools...the night before Christmas you are going to be out all hours in DC, and what do these fools expect...lets look at their schedule when they are in the DC area:

Sunday- Stadium (strip club and a dance club...not hating about this one at all) 

Monday- Tattoo Bar

Tuesday- Lotus (Yes, my favorite, and yes they clearly pop more bottles than me...but on a Tuesday) 

Wednesday- Josephines- probably the hottest party in the DC area. 

Thursday- Park- enough said. 

Friday/Saturday- Layla Lounge 

Is it bad that me, an average guy can tell you where these fool swill be on every night of the week if they are in town? why don't you fools get into a gym and work on your game...because none of you have improved since last season...

Y$ out

MERRY CHRISTMAS

To those who want to celebrate Christmas in style here is RUN DMC to show you how....

Top 5 Movies of 2010

With 2011 coming quickly we decided to tell you what movies you need to see from 2010.



5. Toy Story 3

If you hate on this movie then fuck you. While Pixar makes the best animated movies each year, this is our generation's most recognized animated series. The main character Andy and his relationship with his toys portrayed how tough maturing can be for everyone.

4. The Social Network

It was unknown what we would get from a movie starring the guy in Zombieland, the new spider-man, and everybody's favorite white boy Justin Timberlake.  The Social Network gives us the story behind the most popular website in the United States.  In a redux of Revenge of the Nerds we see what can happen when exclusivity goes to far.  This movie shows that Wu-Tang was right...Cash Rules.

3. Shutter Island

Any movie that involves DiCaprio and Scorsese will be great.  This movie is based on the book by Dennis Lehane.  Lehane is also the author of Gone Baby Gone.  Scorsese also made this an homage to Alfred Hitchcock.  All of this and the fact that this mindfuck of a movie will keep your head spinning to the end makes it a must see.

2. The Town

Ben Affleck is relevant again.

1. Inception

Christopher Nolan has solidified his role as a boss of the movie industry. A thriller about dreaming could put someone to sleep, but Nolan is on-point in this dream within a dream. This is a great premise for a movie with a solid cast. Does the top fall over?? BWAHHHHHHHH

*****

We have not seen True Grit and The Fighter
