Republica

Here they are, the bests of the month, best in movies, both rental and theatre. Best in music, singles and albums. Best video. Best polish. Best pick in online shopping....the goods. ie "I want the shizznit....Charge it!"


Best movie (theatre) release.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation Oi diggy movie. Far better than the first, which was mad enjoyable. Foxy model Irina Pantaeva plays Jade and rocks the bells. Also ladies check out the make-up and such Sindel is kicking it fox style with the hair and make-up although there is a disappointing Roma Downey-esque thing eventually going on. Lots of the characters incorporated, better and more gratuitous fighting, all around fun. Mind the first few cheesey minutes...get past those and it's fresh.

Best movie (rental) release.

The Fifth Element I am really surprised that this movie wasn't recieved well in theatres. Brilliant, future-esque film by Luc Besson (whom incidentally made one of my faves The Professional). Note that costumes were designed by (my hero) Jean-Paul Gaultier. Keeps getting better, Sibyl Buck (again a fav. model), Tricky who was slick and various models. Chris Tucker was the stand-out actor in this film. He should get some serious accomandations. Fifth Element stars, Bruce Willis, Milla Jovavich and Gary Oldman. Set in the future, at a time where ultimate evil is looking to destroy life, Dulles (Willis) and friends must fight hard to gather the five elements and open them. For it is the only thing that will save life.

Best Single.

Puff Daddy et famille with Been Around the World I really wasn't ready to pick this one for best in fact I was all set with The Prodigy's latest. But listening to this I had to pick it, "Been..." is built around David Bowie's "Let's Dance" which is definitely a fly hook. I picked this for the B- side though, a version of "It's All About the Bejamins" called the "Shot Caller Remix" This is of course re-routed by Dave Grohl and Rob Zombie among others. Truly enjoyable. I can't resist hooks.

Best EP

The Aphex Twin Richard D James has truly out-done himself this time with this single and remix EP.("Come to Daddy") Prime ambient! This is a rather dark tune. But something that will withstand the test of repeated listenings.

Best Album

Hooverphonic with "A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular" Prime trip hop, well programmed beats,good hooks, and a fly girl singer, the whole album is as good as single "2Wicky" which is feautured on "A Life Less Oridinary"'s soundtrack. The vibe is a darker,funkier Portishead.

Best Video

Aphex Twin Oi this video("Come to Daddy") is disturbing yet, oh so fly. Deserted city and an old lady walking her pit bull, a discarded television comes on, then it's all go for gram. Children resembling the adult Richard James grab said television and chase grammy...oops...So on and so forth until the television opens up to a super skinny alien version of Richard James what corrals the children. Hope Grams had bladder control. Note : I was going to pick Manson because the video for "Long Road Out of Hell" (not how Sneaker Pimps dropped any name credit having to do with MM, go sick!) You see, this little forray is not unlike a car wreck , you know you shouldn't stare to long yet you can't tear your-self away sort of thing.....he's nekkid.

Best Book

Mark Leyner's TeatherBalls of Bouganville. Mark Leyner is a brilliant author. Pop culture references, with style and smarts. A fun little tale based around Mark's father Joel's execution. This book is odd, a bit sick, and completely fictional in the most joyous of ways. If you don't laugh or appreciate the references, I can't help you.

Best Christmas Polishes

Tuff Scentence's Berried Treasure. A clear based polish with sprigs of fir tree and holly berries inside, the polish smells of Christmas trees. Stocked at Urban Outfitters and others. Call 1888TUFF for more.

Hard Candy's Grinch a clear based polish with green metallic glitter. Click on the first link to be taken to my Hard Candy product listing page. Click here to be taken to their official web site.

Orly's holiday polishes. Ho Ho Ho (128) Is mad fly for the holiday season, it's like Sexxy Santa (HC) but far less cream to come by. The quality is good, a nice even blue based sheer red with red metallic glitter (HC's Sexxy..is holographic). Good pick.

Best Regular release polish

The Prism collection by PRO-10

Changling is the best of the line, it is a red brown with glossy green sheen.

The Best Online Shopping

Zoe Zone Fly procurers of girls clothes, fancy dresses, sportswear, make up, shoes, pants, so on and so forth. Zoe is like a high-end Delia's . Definitely worth the look around.

Sweety of the Month

Enjoy!

Product (Cosmetic) of the Month.

The December product, meets all three of said standards. This elusive product is Pore Perfect Cleansing strips by Biore . Oi use that bad boy and you'll be shocked and what lays hidden in your pores. Think you cleanse enough? Think again! What it is, is almost like a cast for your nose. After you wash your face, making a point of having your nose wet is, apply the strip and let it harden up, much like plaster of paris for ten minutes or so. Horribley itchy but end results are well worth it. I hadn't had much of a pore problem, but after trying these out, it's truly amazing. Availability is pretty good, it can be bought at most drug store chains.

Also for December, Tuff Scent-ence has put out a holiday inspired polish. Berried Treasure. Berried Treasure is a clear based polish, that is garnished with a sprig of fir tree and holly berries inside the bottle. As always with Tuff Scent-ence there is a scent. Christmas tree! Tuff Scent-ence is a 30 plus shade polish line, call them at 1 888 TUFF for more information.
