The Departed

Title: The Departed

Genre: Crime / Drama / Thriller

Plot Outline: Years ago, a powerful Irish mafia figure placed a small selection of his youngest, brightest men into the Massachusetts Police Academy as cadets. Their purpose is to eventually rise within the prestigious ranks of the city's police department, to serve as the eyes and ears of their boss. While somewhere else, a young cadet was assigned with an equally dangerous task: infiltrate the Irish syndicate headed by the man sending in his own to the Boston Police. Now, one cadet is an up and coming police official with a torn allegiance to his job and to the criminal mastermind that put him there. While the other cadet is the trusted number two of that man, only finding his professional duties are becoming blurred with his current state. But new clues have lead to unfortunate discoveries, when both sides realize they're being watched by the enemy. It's now all just a matter of time before the men assigned to find out whose the infiltrator, could come to a bloody end when someone's identity may be revealed.


Finally, a good rip of this movie. Previous copies had issues with audio/video sync but this one is perfect. I think I would've liked this movie more if I knew it was an original movie but unfortunately it's a remake of Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs. I haven't got around to watching all of the original series(3 part trilogy), I did try watching a bit of part 1 but it is so damn similar to The Departed it's hard to watch. Most people seem to like the original better if they've seen both versions. This movie's also getting re-released in the theatres so if you would rather watch it on the big screen, keep an eye out for it.

Great dvd- quality rip with no sync issues. Enjoy!

Update: 800mb aXXo version is out if you want to save bandwidth and space.

Pan's Labyrinth - El Laberinto del Fauno

Title: Pan's Labyrinth - El Laberinto del Fauno

Genre: Drama / Fantasy / Thriller

Plot Outline: "Pan's Labyrinth" is the story of a young girl who travels with her pregnant mother to live with her mother's new husband in a rural area up North in Spain, 1944, after Franco's victory. The girl lives in an imaginary world of her own creation and faces the real world with much chagrin. Post-war Fascist repression is at its height in rural Spain and the girl must come to terms with that through a fable of her own.


Personally, I don't see what the fuss is about. Maybe it was all the rave reviews or the high ratings at imdb, but I was expecting much more. Yes, it's a good movie, the animation and costumes are impressive and the story is interesting but I don't think it's amazing. It's hard to compare to some of the recent fantasy films like Lord of the Rings or Chronicles of Narnia because the extreme violence and adult content but I think if you compare storylines and graphics, Lord of the Rings comes out on top. I'll probably watch it one more time in the next week or so just to make sure I caught everything since it is in spanish and subtitled in english.

This torrent is a Dvd Screener. Video and sound are dvd quality and english subtitles are hardcoded into the movie. Not the same as the vhs-screener that was floating around.

Making of Jackass 2-Deleted Scenes

Title: Making of Jackass 2 - Deleted Scenes

Genre: Documentary / Comedy

Plot Outline: None, cmon it's Jackass


This is a hour and a half video from the Jackass 2 dvd that was released. Not sure if it's from the rated or unrated version and how much more footage there is. The first half hour or so is the "Making of" and the rest are deleted scenes as well as some extensions of the theatrical scenes. If you liked the movie you should check this out, i'm sure you won't be dissapointed.

If you didn't catch the whole movie i'll throw that up as well, and of course its dvd-quality since its from the dvd. Jackass.

Jesus Camp

Title: Jesus Camp

Genre: Documentary

Plot Outline: Jesus Camp, directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, directors of the critically acclaimed The Boys of Baraka, follows Levi, Rachael, and Tory to Pastor Becky Fischer's "Kids on Fire" summer camp in Devil's Lake, North Dakota, where kids as young as 6 years-old are taught to become dedicated Christian soldiers in "God's army." The film follows these children at camp as they hone their "prophetic gifts" and are schooled in how to "take back America for Christ." The film is a first-ever look into an intense training ground that recruits born-again Christian children to become an active part of America's political future.


This is one scary movie, especially since it is really happening out there. These parents are allowing their kids to be brainwashed into extreme-christian-political-soldiers. I couldn't believe some of the activities they had going on at the camp. Worshipping a cardboard cutout of George Bush? Smashing mugs with Government written over them? Putting red tape over their mouths to pledge an end to abortion? Unbelievable. Some of these kids are as young as 5-6 years old! Kids are so impressionable at this age and these people know this and are taking advantage. There are just too many absurdities that you'll just have to see for yourself.


This release is a dvd-rip. Enjoy! And let me know what you think.

New Stuff

I'm trying out a couple of these blog thingies called widgets. First one is from Box.net, its a cool little widget that lets you share any kind of files. I'm just using it for mp3's now, but I guess it could be used to host torrents if piratebay decides to stop allowing direct-linking. All the music on there now is old stuff, im not too into nor have I had the time to look for new stuff.

The other widget is a chat widget from incircles.com, has a nice interface and looks to be functioning well. Both of these widgets are of course free, all you have to do is go to their site to customize your own and grab the code. Enjoy!
