Cut & Print.ca now On-line

It's the end of an era. What started as a joke is now a legitimate business. After spending 4 years in school and countless hours at working to become a better writer, Jakeopolis.com is now officially Cut & Print.ca. While the change is mostly a cosmetic one, with the changing of a few graphics here and there, it represents almost 1/5 of my life. For almost 5 years, writing movie reviews for Jakeopolis.com was not only a hobby of mine, but a way of life. Going to the movies is a great way to socialize with friends you do not often see or to build links with your family and I took that a step further in letting it shape my future.

Jakeopolis.com might be dead in name, it will never die in spirit. For a select few, like Rob and Laura, Jakeopolis.com represented not just movie reviews but a person. I don’t feel like I’ve changed, but just that it’s become part of a bigger life plan. That plan might end soon or go on to be profitable and noteworthy. Whatever way it goes, it goes. I have no misconceptions of being important. It’s just sad to see it go after all this time.

Jakeopolis.com started in May, 2001 as a writing project. It gave Rob time to hone his web site making skills and it was where I started learning the writing process. The first review ever written was for Shrek and the first pictures showed a much younger and fatter Jake. Rob has been integral to the web site’s development, always tinkering and changing this to make it look just a little bit slicker or updated. He also actually posted reviews that were readable, unlike mine. Thanks man. I appreciated.

And to Chris Barron, Robert Waldman, Pat Toner, Dave Cheung, Robbie Baker, Cousin Garrick (aka The Thai Movie Reviewer) and everybody else that wrote on Jakeopolis.com. Thank guy’s. It was fun while it lasted.

Welcome to Cut & Print.ca Anybody is able to write. Much like the mandate of Cut & Print Magazine, if you want something published, we’ll publish it. Remember that. And use it.

Without further rambling’s from a man stuck in the past I give you Cut & Print.ca.

Something has gone wrong at a remote scientific research station on Mars. All research has ceased. Communication has failed. And the messages that do get through are less than comforting. It's a level 5 quarantine and the only souls allowed in or out are the Rapid Response Tactical Squad - hardened Marines armed to the teeth with enough firepower to neutralize the enemy... or so they think. The research being done at Odluval station has unwittingly opened a door and all hell has broken loose. A legion of nightmarish creatures of unknown origin lurk behind every wall and stalk the countless rooms and tunnels of the facility, killing what few people remain.

Are you kidding? This movie was ridiculously horrible on all levels. It was less than a one. I love The Rock. He literally rocks. But he sucked wrinkled up goat titties in this one. Semper Fi my butt. I'll tell you what was cool, though. The fact that I got in without paying and got free popcorn and Pepsi. That's what I'm talking about. Maybe if everyone who saw this got free popcorn and Pepsi the movie could do okay. Naw it would still suck. Xbox should make video games and not movies.

Welcome to the Chronicles of Cut & Print Magazine

Hello all,

This is the new blog of Cut & Print Magazine. We're going to chronicling what goes on behind the scenes of a small, independent publication.

There will be numerous writers and people involved in the project who will be posting their experiences working for the magazine. The Chronicles of Cut & Print Magazine is blog designed to show how much work goes into putting together a magazine and the trials and tribulations we have to face trying to make something special happen.

A little background for those who do not know (which will probably be most people stumbling onto this blog), Cut & Print Magazine began in May 2004 in Central Vancouver Island. We’re based out of Nanaimo, British Columbia and have a circulation that goes as south as Duncan and as north as Qualicum Beach.

The mandate of Cut & Print Magazine is to provide the Central Vancouver Island region with an outlet for writers trying to build their portfolio, while promoting local entertainment events in the area.

Cut & Print Magazine started out heavily focused on movies (Hollywood opinions from people who usually don’t get to write about Hollywood) but has since expanded into Music (local and international), Theatre and anything else to do with the arts. It’s an exciting magazine which welcomes submissions from anybody and is accessible to everyone (it helps that it is free).

If you want to check out the magazine, you can read it online @ www.cutandprint.ca. Check it out today and see what you think.

Regards,
