Review "Carrie":

I know it's been awhile since I wrote a review but the problem I've been having for the past couple of weeks has been a mixture of writer's block and laziness. I watched the wonderful movie "Carrie" on Halloween and I must say that this movie hits very close to home. I've always said if my high school experience was a movie it would be titled "Carrie" I feel for Carrie, I understand her pain and her feelings. I don't think there was anything wrong with what she did to her classmates (to a point ;D), I simply think it was just self defense. Come on if you were constantly tortured by you're classmates every single day and you had a religious psycho mom you would have a mental breakdown too. It starts out with all the girls playing volleyball in gym and Carrie being shy and socially awkward she missed the ball so the other team won so of course her team mates were mad and started yelling at her and one of the girls hit Carrie on the head with her gym hat. It's a freakin volleyball game in gym class give Carrie a break. Talk about poor sportsmanship.

Their all taking a shower after gym and it shows all the girls running around the locker room naked and it shows Carrie in the shower. While she's washing her legs blood starts running down her legs and it gets on her hands while she's washing herself. She sees the blood and freaks out cause she doesn't know what's going on and she hasn't had her period before so she runs out of the shower screaming and tries to get one of the girls to help her, but since their all bitches you know what they did? That's right instead of helping her they all started to tease her chanting "plug it up." The gym teacher pushes all the girls away to comfort Carrie and she calms her down. The teacher talks with the principle about what happened and had Carrie come in to talk to them and told her that she had permission to go home. The stupid principle kept calling her Cassie even though the gym teacher told him several times that her name was Carrie. After talking to Carrie while it was starting to get to her he calls her Cassie and she yells out "It's Carrie!" and his lamp on his desk breaks and she runs out of his office. While Carrie is walking home some stupid little boy is riding around on his bike and decides to taunt Carrie so he rode by Carrie yelling "Creepy Carrie, creepy Carrie!"

Once he did that Carrie looks at him and he looses control of his bike and he fell off. That was the funniest thing I ever saw, I laughed so hard. After Carrie gets home it shows her mom Margret at Sue's house to preach the word of Christ. I hate people like that which is why I never answer the door :D Margret talks to Sue's mom and she, like me isn't interested in hearing about "her" opinion on religion. Margret walks towards the door to leave then turns around and says "I pray that you find Jesus" and I pray that you find sanity. She heads home and the phone rings, it's the school letting her know what happened. She calls Carrie to come down stairs and explains she's a woman now and starts quoting the bible telling Carrie to repeat what she says and when Carrie wont she would hit her with the bible. After that she tells her it's time to pray for forgiveness and she drags Carrie kicking and screaming to the closet where she locks her in there and not letting her out till she stays in there for a long time praying. No wonder she snapped. The next day all the girls except Carrie are on the track field where the gym teacher is yelling at them for what they did to Carrie and told them that their punishment is a week detention and if they miss one day they wont be able to go to prom.

It continues to show the girls in detention then the main snotty girl Chris aka "Head Bitch" gets pissed and refuses to show up for the rest of the scheduled detention so of course she's not able to go to prom. Sue convinces her boyfriend Tommy to ask her to the prom cause she thought it would be nice and help Carrie. Out of all the girls that teased Carrie Sue is the only one to actually feel bad and try to make it right. You go girl! Tommy tries to ask her out but she keeps turning him down since she thinks he's just trying to make fun of her. Throughout the movie she notices that she's able to do things with her mind and she begins to read books about it and realizes she's not the only one who has that gift. She gets home and tells her mom that a boy asked her to prom and her mom tells her she can't go which makes Carrie upset and she pushes her mom with her mind and tells her that she's going and there's nothing she can do about it. Chris tells her boyfriend Billy that she wants to make Carrie pay so they head out to a farm and they kill one of the pigs. Carrie gets ready for the prom and her mom walks in the room and tells her that she can see her dirty pillows, Carrie informs her that their just breasts and every woman has them.

She heads off to the prom and she's having the time of her life then they announce the king and queen of the prom which ended up being Tommy and Carrie. They get up on stage where they give her a crown and flowers and she stands there smiling then suddenly it shows Chris under the stage holding a long rope. She lets go of the rope which drops a bucket of pig blood all over Carrie and everyone just stands there in shock at what just happened then one of Chris' friends begins to laugh and Carrie begins to hear her mother's voice in her head saying over and over again their all going to laugh at you then she totally snaps and begins to set the prom on fire. Everyone is running around screaming trying to get out of the building and a lot of them ended up dying including Tommy. Carrie is walking home while drenched in blood and it shows Chris and Billy driving in the car behind Carrie and Chris steps on the gas and tries to run her over but Carrie hurry and turns around and makes the car tumble over and burst into flames. Don't ever try to mess with a girl who has special powers, she'll kill you. She gets home and takes a bath to get the blood off of her and explains to her mom that everyone was laughing at her and it was bad.

Margret tells Carrie about how she fell in love with a guy when she was a teenager and she ended up having sex with him and she liked it but she ended up feeling dirty and vile and guilty once she got pregnant. After that she vowed to live her life spreading the word of Christ which is why she started being a crazy religious freak. She hugs Carrie and ends up stabbing her and Carrie falls down the stairs. Margret walks down and tries to stab her again but Carrie uses her mind to make all of the knives in the kitchen to fly towards her mom and kills her. Once she clues into what happened she hugs her mom screaming and crying that she was dead. Even though her mom was abusive Carrie still loved her. All that pain fuming out of Carrie makes the house catch on fire killing Carrie and her mom. Later it shows Sue's mom talking on the phone about what happened at the prom and how Sue is sleeping a lot which the Doctor says is normal considering what she's been through. It switches to a dream that Sue is having, she walks up to Carrie's grave to put some flowers on it then Carrie's hand pops out of the ground and grabs Sue's arm. She wakes up screaming and crying and her mom tries to calm her down then the scene fades away and the credits roll up.

I really loved this movie and it made me feel like I was just like Carrie. Even though I don't have any special powers I still got teased and made fun of by my class mates in school and it made my life a living hell. To this day I'm still surprised that I never had a mental breakdown. In a lot of ways me and Carrie are a lot alike which is why I understand how she felt and why she did what she did. Sometimes constant bullying will drive you to you're breaking point and you end up doing things you never thought you would do. This is why you should never bully another person cause you never know if their going to end up killing all the people who bullied them or killing themselves. My sister told me that I was the type of person who would go to their high school reunion to murder everyone. Hahahaha that comment made my day. I give this movie 5 out of 5 skulls.

Review: The Human Centipede:

Yay! I finally got to watch The Human Centipede and............ it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. Damn it, I need to stop doing that. I go to the theatre or I rent a movie and watch it with high expectations only to be let down in the end and upset that my dreams were crushed. I wanted to watch this movie because it's meant to shock people and to give them the WTF feeling but I didn't get that at all. I love movies that shock people and make you say WTF because I live to shock people and I love how they think I'm a crazy person, it's a adrenaline rush that you just can't beat. I've heard a lot of talk about this movie on FEARnet and other blog sites that I started getting really excited to see this movie to the point that I got obsessed. I wasn't able to watch this movie on demand cause my mom heard what it was about so she banned me from watching it in the house, well I redbox it a couple of days ago and watched it when I got home from work. The opening scene was really dumb and I didn't like how it turned out, just the camera showing the highway and all the cars driving around.

After that it shows Dr. Heiter in his car waiting for someone to stop. A truck driver pulls up ahead of him and gets out of his car and walks into the field to take a dump. Sexy. Dr. Heiter pulls out his dart gun and shoots him and stuffs him into his car and drives off home. We're now introduced to the two American girls Lindsay and Jenny located in Germany getting ready in their hotel to go out to a night club. Their on their way to the night club but they end up getting lost since they don't know directions and they don't speak German. They get a flat tire so they wait in their car to figure out what to do when a car drives up along side of them. Lindsay asks the guy if he knows anyone who could help them but all he does is tells them in German how he wants to bang them. Dirty fat man. Jenny pulls out her German book to figure out what he's saying then realizes that he said fuck to them so they start freaking out rolls up the window. As their sitting in their car the guy is still staring at them and wiggling his tongue at them since he's a perverted old man.

He drives away and Lindsay and Jenny decide to get out and walk to find a pay phone. They walk through the woods as it starts to rain and Jenny is having a bitch fit since she's tired and lazy and she doesn't want to walk anymore, suck it up you baby and keep walking. They find a house and run to it knocking on the door. Dr. Heiter looks out the window to see who it is then he opens his door to find Lindsay and Jenny standing there soaking wet with their make up running down their face. He invites them in and Lindsay asks if he can call the car services so he does and he offers them a drink so they say just water. I swear they have to be the DUMBEST girls I have ever seen. If your in a strange house with a creepy man and he offers you a drink say no thank you, you don't have to say sure cause your afraid of sounding rude cause you know he's going to drug your drink all the signs are there. He gets the glasses and fills them with water as he's talking to himself in German acting like he's calling the car services to fool the girls, he spikes the girls drinks with the rape drug (told you!) and walks out and tells them it will be 30 Min's till the car services comes and he hands the girls the drinks. They drink the water and Jenny passes out while Lindsay is freaking out cause she doesn't know what's going on so Dr. Heiter explains what he did so Lindsay tries to make a run for it but can't since she's drugged up.

Dr. Heiter grabs her and injects some kind of drug into her neck to knock her out since she didn't drink as much of the drugged water as Jenny did. They wake up to find themselves strapped to a hospital bed in his basement that's designed as a operating room with the truck driver in the bed next to them. Dr. Heiter walks over to the truck driver and tells him that he's not the right match so he has to kill him so he injects a drug into his I.V. that stops his heart. He grabs the guy and buries him in his back yard. I like his style. He kidnaps a Japanese man named Katsuro straps him in a hospital bed next to the girls. He puts on a slide show and begins to tells them that he specialized in separating Siamese twins and now he wants to unleash his ultimate fantasy by connecting the three patients together via their gastric systems to bring to life the first ever Human Centipede. And people say I have some sick fantasies? Ha yeah right, my fantasies look like puppy dogs and rainbows compared to this nut. He injects the patients to get them ready for surgery but Lindsay breaks loose and runs away, Dr. Heiter runs after her but she locks herself in a room trying to find a way out. She ends up being able to get Jenny out drags her outside since she's already knocked out but Dr. Heiter shoots Lindsay with a dart gun and she falls to the ground.

He begins the surgery and starts connecting Lindsay, Jenny and Katsuro to each other and once it's all over he brings them to his living room where he can get a better look at his masterpiece with Katsuro being in front and Lindsay in the middle, Jenny in the back. He takes them outside to teach them to bring him the news paper but Katsuro wont do it and keeps dropping the news paper when he would but it in his mouth, dude if you want something to bring you the new paper then go out and buy yourself a dog you don't need to make a human centipede you freako. Later on cops show up at his house telling them that there have been complaints from people that they heard a american girl screaming in his back yard but Dr. Heiter denys everything and tries to give them water so he can drug them too. The main cops tells the Doctor that he's going to go get a search warrant cause he knows he's full of crap and he can tell something is wrong. Till then Katsuro stabs Dr. Heiter in the foot and bites his cheeks and pulls some skin off and they run well not really run they waddle away into a room trying to find a way out. Dr. Heiter traps them in the room and Katsuro cries out how he was a bad person and he left his family and children and he didn't live the life he should but he didn't think he deserved this type of punishment so he cuts his throat with a broken piece of glass.

After that the cops show up with a search warrant and begins to search the house to find Dr. Heiter and they open the door to see The Human Centipede and he freaks out because that is a shock to see and he runs to find the Doctor and he finds him in his pool room but the Doctor shoots the cop and kills him and the other cops runs up and Dr. Heiter shoots him as well but the cop was able to shoot Dr. Heiter in the head killing him and the two cops fall into the pool dead while Dr. Heiter is dead up against the wall. Meanwhile Lindsay and Jenny are still in the room since they can't go any where cause Katsuro is dead and Jenny ends up dying so it's just Lindsay by herself with no where to go then the screen goes black and the credits show up. I will admit that this movie wasn't terrible and I was pleased with it and I did enjoy it but It wasn't how I thought it would be. I was expecting this to be a sick and twisted movie with me thinking WTF throughout it but I didn't. I found out later that redbox cut out a scene where they were all outside and Katsuro really had to go to the bathroom so he ended up taking a dump in Lindsay's mouth and she had to swallow it. It made me mad when I found out that they cut it out even though I didn't really want to see someone taking a dump in someone else's mouth but come on that could of gave me the WTF reaction that I was looking for.

If I'm going to rent a movie then I want to see it how it came out in the theatres not some damn edited movie. Redbox shouldn't be aloud to edited movies and cut out certain scenes cause it's not fair and it's a rip off I want the whole package. If their going to cut out scenes then they should have two versions of the movie with one saying edited version and the other one saying unrated version. Damn you redbox! I read the trivia facts on IMDB and it said that some of the scenes in the movie were so controversial that some people actually got up and walked out during the screening. While watching the movie I couldn't help but ask myself what scenes were so controversial??? I didn't think any of the scenes were controversial, sure it was the type of movie that could rub someone the wrong way but not enough to make someone actually leave the theatre. I was pretty bummed out to the fact that this movie wasn't as "controversial" as a lot of people were thinking and I think that people are just easily offended that they'll take any little thing that shocks you and makes you think "What the hell?!" to get offended. People just need to pull the stick out of their asses cause this movie wasn't as bad and sick as everyone thought it was. I said it once and I'll say it again, If your not out shocking people then your just plain boring. I give this movie 4 out of 5 Skulls.

Review "Killer Pad":

Oh yeah this movie is killer alright, killer cheesy. I have to admit that the only reason why I even watched this movie was because it was directed by Robert Englund. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. It's about 3 guys Doug, Brody and Craig heading to Los Angeles to get away from their parent's house. They get to the apartment where they thought they'd be staying at but the land lord just wanted money and told them that the apartment was all booked up. They talked to a realtor Winnie and she finds them the perfect house, big, beautiful and located on the Hollywood hills. They completely ignore the address 666 perdition road. Their driving to their new house while they see a lonely Mexican walking along side of the road. He tries to tell the boys that their house is possessed by the devil and since he only speaks Spanish the boys didn't understand a word he was saying and thought he was talking about some hot sauce. They move into their new house despite the lonely Mexicans warnings.

They get everything set up in the house while things start acting weird and the boys being stupid didn't notice anything going on. In fact they ignored the whole boiling hole in their basement, they don't even think it could be the portal to Hell no they only have one thing on their mind and that is getting laid by hott girls. Their next door neighbor from down the hill Lucy came to welcome them to the neighborhood and suggest they have a house party so they can meet more people. They print out invitations and send them out to every person they could find including people at the gym, porn stars, girls at confession in the convent. They even had their old friend Backwater to come party with them since he was the major party man back when they were younger. The problem with that plan is Backwater found God and you know what that means he's a total party pooper now. He decides to come to the party anyway since he thinks that will test his faith so he could be able to be strong and fight his temptations. Ha yeah right!

Their party is a hugh success and a crap load of people show up including Joey Lawrence and Andy Milonakis eeww. Lucy brings along two of her friends Jezebel and Delilah. Things start going bad when people end up getting murdered. They hide the bodies thinking it was just some random accidental party death and they go on with their party ignoring the fact that everyone is dropping like flies. Lucy gets Brody into the room alone and tries to seduce him but he finds out that she's really Satan and freaks out but she tries to convince him that everything is okay and they can have parties like this every night, he begins to think that sounds great but then he See's that she has a penis and he runs out screaming getting Doug and Craig telling them what's going on so they find Backwater's bible and reads a line from the bible saying that singing a holy song will cast the evil spirits back to hell, something along those lines. They try singing Silent Night but that doesn't work since they suck at singing and they don't even know the words to the damn song.

Backwater steps in and starts singing Rock N' Roll all night and they were able to cast Lucy, Jezebel and Delilah back to Hell. The house burns down but everyone is able to leave the house safe and alive. Backwater heads off with the group of naughty catholic school girls and Winne stops by to see how they were liking the house and finds out the house is destroyed. She calms the boys down and tells them that she can find them another house takes them to breakfast. While they get into the car Winnie tries to hide her devil tail under her coat but that doesn't work cause you can clearly see it. This movie was major cheesy and the acting was awful. I liked the concept of the movie about how they move into a house that's the portal to Hell and how their hott neighbor is really the devil but other then that the movie didn't do that great. Everything about this movie was cheesy and it wasn't even funny just dumb. Nobody knew how to act in this movie and the only person who actually did a good job acting was Joey Lawrence which is really sad. It's not a terrible movie but it's not a great movie and you can probably watch it about 2 or 3 times with 3 pushing it before it started eating brain cells. I give this movie 2 1/2 out of 5 Skulls.
P.s. Who the hell made that movie poster?! That is THEE worst movie poster I have ever seen, whoever made it had to of been drunk. That is god awful!

Movie Review, Little Shop Of Horrors:

I've never been a fan of musicals but the only ones that I do like are Grease, Sweeney Todd and Little Shop Of Horrors. I remember watching this movie when I was little and I loved it so much. Yes it's cheesy but that's what makes it good. The 80's cheese is perfect and a great match for this type of musical. The movie is about a nerdy florist shop worker named Seymour Krelborn who is in love with his employee Audrey but she's hooking up with the biker bad ass douche bag Orin Scrivello. Seymour is played by Rick Moranis, hmmm I always had a secret crush on him which was weird for me since he is the complete opposite of the type of guys I go for. He's so odd, awkward and shy and it works for him which is one of the reasons why I had a crush on him. Business in the floral shop is going slow so the owner wants to close the shop down but Seymour suggests that if they put some kind weird plant in the display that will attract customers. He brings up a plant to show everyone that he had in the basement and it looks like a type of fly trap but he couldn't identify it in any of his plant books, he named it Audrey Two.

He puts it in the display window and all these customers start showing up cause they never seen anything like it. Once their in the shop admiring the plant they decide to buy flowers since it made them have the urge of a shopping spree. When I see something interesting in a display window I stop and look at it for a min or two then I walk away I don't go inside the store and I for sure don't decide to buy a butt load of crap in the store. Sorry but that whole weird interesting thing in the display window thing doesn't work on me. Audrey Two starts to whittle away since she needs food but Seymour doesn't know what to feed her since everything he's given her doesn't seem to work. He starts to put away some roses then he pricks his fingers on the thorns and his fingers starts to bleed so he sucks on his finger which awakens Audrey Two and she begins to do the sucking noise. Seymour walks over to see why she was doing that and then he realized what she wanted. He puts pressure on his finger to make the blood drop into her mouth and he did that a couple of times.

Audrey Two begins to grow as the days go by and she gets to be very big which takes up half of the floral shop. After a couple of days of not getting blood since Seymour doesn't have enough to give her unless he slits his wrists so Audrey Two begins to whittle away once again. Audrey Two suggest to Seymour that he should kill Audrey's douche bag boyfriend since he beats her and treats her like crap. Seymour heads over to the dentist office since her boyfriend is a dentist and he tries to do a root canal on Seymour and he puts on the gas mask since he's addicted to the gas, me too ;) Orin overdoses on the gas so Seymour drags him to the floral shop and chops him up to feed to Audrey Two. She starts to get dependant on blood since that's what she lives off of but Seymour doesn't want to continue giving her blood so he cuts her off of all blood supply. You really think that's going to work? It's just going to make her mad and unleash her rein of terror on everyone which is what she does. She calls Audrey over to the floral shop and tries to eat her but Seymour stops her from doing that and tells her that he needs to kill her so there wont be little Audrey Two's all over the world.

He electrocutes her and kills Audrey Two and Seymour and Audrey run off and get married and it shows there nice house and nice lawn and in their garden there's a little baby Audrey Two with a big fat smile on her face and credits show up with the main opening song titled "Little Shop Of Horrors". If you haven't seen this movie then I highly suggest that you see it cause it's just so funny and the music is pretty catchy. Yeah the acting is pretty bad but it's 1986 and you can't expect it be perfect. The 80's cheese does help the movie be more fun to watch and it's very enjoyable. I give this movie 3 1/2 out of 5 Skulls. *I called Audrey Two by HER even though Audrey Two is voiced by a man, oh well*

Movie Review, The Shining:

It took me a long time to actually watch The Shining but when I was at work I noticed that the electronics department had horror movies on sale for Halloween and one of them just so happen to be The Shining. The movie starts with the camera "flying" over the lake of Colorado with very eerie music playing which I did enjoy cause it made the movie more creepy. Jack Torrence was on his way to the Overlook Hotel for a interview to be the new caretaker from November to May. Meanwhile back at home Jack's wife Wendy was telling their son Danny about moving to the Overlook Hotel if his dad got the job but Danny wasn't too pleased with this idea and tells his mom that his imaginary friend Tony doesn't want them to move there. Jack's interview goes great and he gets the job as caretaker and one of the workers tells Jack about the old caretaker in the 70's how he suddenly had a mental breakdown and murdered his wife and his two daughters by killing them with an axe.

If someone told me that someone snapped and killed his family while staying at a hotel I wouldn't even want to go into that hotel let alone live there but apparently that didn't scare him since he took the job. While Jack is still at the hotel Danny starts brushing his teeth while talking to his friend Tony then suddenly he starts to have weird flashback of things that happened before but he doesn't know what it is. After that he had a spazz attack so Wendy called the doctor to come check him out but she didn't really find anything wrong with him that's when Wendy and the doctor started talking about his past and how Jack would drink a lot and one night he got drunk and hurt Danny's arm. They get packed up and head off to the Overlook Hotel, once they got there the guy who interviewed Jack was there and gave the whole family a tour of the hotel. Dick Hallorann the hotel's chef offered to give Danny some ice cream while they showed Wendy the other part of the hotel. While Danny was eating the ice cream Dick talks to him about how he was able to talk to his grandmother without even opening his mouth and his grandmother called it "The Shining"

About a month or so goes by and Jack starts showing signs of anger and Danny's flashbacks start getting worse and more intense. Every now and then he would see two twin girls and then he would see them laying on the floor dead with the whole hallway covered in blood with an axe by their body and it shows blood rushing out of the elevator which in fact was my favorite part of the movie. Time goes by and Jack starts to get more hallucinations and his anger starts to sky rocket. He heads down to the bar and starts to have a conversation with the bartender but there is no one in the bar but Jack. He meets Delbert Grady who use to be the caretaker in the 70's who killed his wife and two daughters. Grady tells Jack that Wendy is starting to become a problem and his son is bringing an outside party into the situation and he needs to stop them before they get out of hand. Jack starts yelling at Wendy so she gets a hold of a baseball bat to defend herself and ended up hitting him over the head knocking him out. She locks him in one of the food storage rooms and tries to get Danny out of the hotel since his hallucinations are getting worse day by day.

Jack gets out of the room and gets an axe and starts chopping up the door to get into the room where Wendy was while he's chopping up the door Wendy opens up one of the windows and puts Danny through it and tells him to run and hide. Once he chopped a big hole in the door he sticks his head up against it and says the famous line "Heeeeeres Johnny!" he sticks his hand through the hole of the door to unlock it and Wendy cuts his hand with a knife, Jack leaves to take care of his hand and Wendy runs out of the room to escape the hotel then she starts seeing ghosts of people who stayed in the hotel in the 70's. Jack runs outside sine he could hear Danny out there so he tries to run after him but couldn't find where he was hiding. After trying to find Danny, Jack starts getting tired since being possessed takes a lot out of you and he's running around in the snow then he gets stuck outside and freezes to death. Wendy and Danny drive away from the hotel in a snow tractor and it shows a picture of the Overlook Hotel Ball in the 1920's with Jack standing in front of the crowed wearing a tux then the closing credits appear.

I really liked this movie and it was one of the best Stephen King movies since my personal favorite Children of the Corn. The music was tastefully done and the acting was wonderful. Jack Nicholson did a great job as Jack Torrence. He was mean, cocky and a major douche bag, every time he opened his mouth I had the sudden urge to punch him in the face. Shelley Duval wasl great as Wendy Torrence, even Danny Lloyd was great as Danny Torrence. The acting in this movie was very outstanding for being in that time back in the 80's. My only complaint of this movie was I wish it was more creepy and more dark, it had some creepy parts but the whole movie in general wasn't very creepy and if they remake this movie since I heard rumors they were thinking about it they should make it more dark and creepy then this one. All in all I did enjoy this movie very much and I would watch it again and it's definitely one of the best horror movies of the 80's. I give this movie 4 1/2 out of 5 Skulls.

Resident Evil 'After Life':

I just got back from seeing Resident Evil: After Life and I left the theatre still hungry for more. More zombies, more Alice and Claire and more Shawn Roberts mmmmm now he was one sexy mofo. Okay now on to the movie, it starts out in Tokyo Japan with people walking through the town while it's raining and there's one girl just standing there in the middle of the street. The music in this scene and in the whole movie was awesome and well done. The scene continues with the girl just standing there then she looks a some guy walking past her then she jumps on him and begins to feast on him, yes my friends she was a zombie it looks like the virus made it's way to Japan. Four years later Alice shows up to have a one on one show down with the main guy who runs The Umbrella Corporation Albert Wesker. She makes her way all the way under ground where the Tokyo headquarters is located. There she kills all the body guards with clones of herself to help her since there are a butt load of body guards.

She gets upstairs and starts shooting at him but he escapes since he's a smarty pants and he knows what he's doing. He flies away in his pimped out airplane while Alice and her clones are shooting at the plane. My complaint on the whole clones of Alice was that you could totally tell that they were computer generated. I know they were suppose to be computer generated since Milla Jovovich isn't a twin let alone triplet. I just think they could of done it a little better and made it so it didn't look computer generated. After he flies away he sets off a bomb on the building where she was and it blows up. Alice walks up behind him since he only killed her clones and not the real Alice, she puts a gun to his head and he flips around and shoves a needle in her neck infecting her with the T-virus which eliminates all her powers like speed, rapid healing etc and with that it turns her human. While he's getting ready to kill Alice he forgets that he's flying the plane so it alerts him that he's going to crash. The plane crashes and Alice walks away alive and it's now 6 months later and Alice is trying to find survivors. As she's on her search she documents her travel about what's going on.

She finds a plane and flies to a place in Alaska where she finds Claire after leaving her 18 months ago in Nevada. Claire has some sort of ambulant hooked on her chest which makes her have memory loss so she can't remember anything that happened. Alice tries to help her remember what happened and they fly away to L.A. where they find some people on top of a building waving for help. She flies down there and meets everyone and they talk about what they need to do to get out of the building alive since zombies are surrounding the whole building not letting them get out. Alice goes to the basement and to see that they have a guy named Chris locked in a cage since they all think he's a killer. Things start getting worse as the zombies are trying to push their way through the fence to get inside the building so they decide to let Chris out of the cage cause he claims he knows a secret way out of the building. The only way to the other part of the building is through water since some parts of the place is now under water. While Alice and Chris and Crystal is swimming to the other part of the building Claire and Luther are outside trying to block the fence since some big macho guy with an axe is trying to bash the fence down.

Crystal gets eaten by zombies after coming out of the water and Bennett shoots Angel and flies away in a plane heading to Arcadia leaving everyone behind. They find a big hole in the ground that leads through the sewer lanes and out to the street. Chris and Luther head down the hole while Alice and Claire go to jump down but the big macho guy with the axe shows up killing Kim which begins the best fight scene (my opinion) in the whole movie between Claire and the macho guy. The music in that scene was totally bad ass and I didn't want it to end. Alice kills the macho guy and they head down the tunnel and Luther gets taken away by zombies. Alice, Claire and Chris hops in a boat and head over to Arcadia which is a big ship in the sea. They realize that it was a trap and not a place of safety and finds all the people that were captured by Umbrella where their being experimented on with the virus. Alice walks into a room where she sees Albert and Bennett pointing a gun to her head. They all fight each other and they shoot Albert where they think they killed him and walks away leaving Bennett in the room trapped not able to get out. Albert isn't really dead duh and he kills Bennett and flies away in his pimped out plane, man I really want one of those.

Apparently Alice put a bomb in his plane so when Albert pushes the buttons to set it off it blows up his plane, sad to see him go he was really hott and my favorite character in the movie. I always go for the bad guys in movies. They release all of the people captured and Alice sends out an announcement to the city letting everyone know that they have food and shelter. They look up to the sky and see all these planes flying towards them and they know it's trouble. In the plane there's all the Umbrella soldiers suited up for battle while some chick is talking about what they have to do and she has that same ambulant on her chest that Claire did then the movie is over. I liked the movie but I think they could of added a lot more stuff to it. I felt like it was rushed and it left me feeling hungry for more which bummed me out. After the movie was over I was like "That was it?!" The movie went by way too fast for my liking and I really think it should of been longer with more bad ass fight scenes. Milla Jovovich was mono tone and I think she needed more personality in her character and she was just blah. Oh well all was not lost I did like the movie and I would see it again and it could of been a lot better but it wasn't terrible.
I give this movie 4 out of 5 Skulls

Review, Pumpkin Head 2:


I went to Wal-mart and picked up some $5 movies since I needed to update my collection and one of the dvd's I bought was a 4 pack combo which included 4 horror movies. One of the horror movies it came with and the one that I watched tonight was Pumpkin Head 2. I haven't seen the first Pumpkin Head but the sequel was just outstanding. I actually loved this movie and it was really good. Anyone who is in need of a cheesy, happy horror movie then you need to check out Pumpkin Head, I swear this movie is a classic in the making. Pumpkin Head 2 starts in the year 1958 where it shows a deformed boy Tommy playing in the field by his house. The cool popular guys which I like to call them the douche bag squad show up to bully Tommy. They begin to beat him with a baseball bat and hook him up to a chain, the main douche bag starts slashing him with his knife. All while this is going on Tommy's mother (I think it's his mother) is collapsed on the ground moaning in pain, it looks as though she can feel the pain Tommy is going through. The end up killing Tommy then it switches to present day. A new family moves into town with their daughter Jenny and her dad as the town's sheriff. Jenny becomes friends with a group of kids who like to call themselves bad asses cause they drink, smoke and ditch school. Jenny starts dating Danny which doesn't make her dad happy with all the obvious reasons and he forbids her from ever hanging out with them. Later that night Jenny sneaks out of her house to meet up with them and they cruise down the road acting all crazy having a good time. Danny thought it would be fun to drive with his headlights off and ends up hitting a random old lady that was walking along the road. They jump out of the car yelling all freaked out and they come to find that the old lady is gone and she's no where to be found. Danny tries to convince them that they should leave cause she's most likely fine since she got up and walked away. Jenny wasn't having it since a hit and run is a big deal so they head down to her house cause Danny knows where she lives. They get to the old lady's house and they start searching through her house to see if they could find her. The come across some weird voodoo like spells and props and realizes that the vile of blood and the spell on the table is to bring the dead back to life. Danny decides to keep it and puts it in his pocket and the old lady shows up. Jenny informs her that they were just looking to see if she was alright and that they didn't see her out on the road and they were very sorry. They head out of the house but the old lady stops Danny and tells him to give her the vile of blood cause it's very dangerous. He doesn't want to give it back to her so he tries to get out of the house but she blocks him and tries to grab it out of his hand. Danny hits her over the head with his flash light and heads out the door.

Once they get out to the cemetery that's located in the old lady's yard they dig up a grave to perform the spell to bring back the dead. Oh my hell are you people really that stupid?! If you had a spell that could bring back the dead don't try to do it, even if you didn't believe in it don't try it cause you don't know what type of stuff your dealing with. Stupid idiots! After they perform the spell and nothing happens they leave the cemetery and find that the old lady's house is on fire. Jenny starts freaking out saying they need to go in and help her but they grab her and they head off to Danny's car. The next morning their all worried about what's going to happen cause they feel responsible for the fire. What they don't know that when the fire was spreading the old lady cries out "Feel the wrath of PUMPKIN HEAD!" during that night Pumpkin Head came back to life cause it looks like that spell actually worked. The local farmer walks into the sheriffs office telling him that he's back and he's here to seek revenge. The sheriff of course has no idea what he's talking about but the farmer tells him to ask the Mayor and the judge what's going on. That night Pumpkin Head returns to the farm and kills the Farmer. While he's killing the farmer it shows the old lady in the hospital having something on the line of a panic attack and she has them every time Pumpkin Head kills a person. Isn't she attached to monitors that let the nurses know that she's having a panic attack or if she's in stress? I guess they weren't plugged in. The next night it shows him going after a couple that just finished their nightly "bump in the night" shin dig and he kills the man and leaves the girl, which I don't know why cause I would of killed her too instead of letting her go. The Sheriff and the mortician try to figure out what's going on and who's causing all these murders. They stumble across the local legend of Pumpkin Head and the Sheriff starts to believe that HE'S causing the murders but it just doesn't seem possibly. Jenny and Danny and their friends are all freaking out since everyone in town is getting murdered but Danny in sits on everyone keeping their mouths shut. The murders keep on going and the Sheriff puts all the pieces together since everyone who got murdered is connected in a way which leads him back to the legend of Pumpkin Head and how he's really Tommy seeking revenge on the kids who killed him. The movie continues with Pumpkin Head killing everyone that was involved in his murder including Danny and his friends but letting Jenny survive since her dad saved his life once when they were kids. The local towns people ban together and kill Pumpkin Head while it shows flash backs of Tommy's death. This movie had some similarities of Friday The 13Th. Both Tommy and Jason were deformed and killed by the local kids who always picked on them. Tommy died in 1958, Jason died in 1959 and they both came back to seek revenge on the people who wronged them.

The moral of this story is that you should never pick on someone just because they look different then you cause it's not only mean and wrong but you never know if their going to turn out to be another Jason Voorhees. Why can't kids just get along and be friends, why do they have to be rude to one another and bully other kids around? Give peace a chance man. I give this movie 5 out of 5 Skulls

Review, Shutter Island:

I bought the book and I was planning on reading it before I saw the movie but that didn't fall through like I was hoping and I watched the movie first. To be honest I haven't even started reading the book, with working in retail full time I find little time to be able to even read it, blah. I was told by everyone who saw it that they liked this movie a lot so again I was looking forward to see it. The movie starts out with Marshell Teddy Daniels riding on a ferry with his partner Chuck Aule to the mental institution for the criminally insane on Shutter Island. They were informed that a patient named Rachel has escaped from the institution and they need to figure out what happened and where she is. The one thing I have a problem with this movie is when they were driving up to the hospital they played very hard, dark music. Yes we know that their going to a scary hospital do they really need to play very intense music to let us know that their going to a bad place? I think the music was going a little over board to make us scared.

They get to the hospital and start interviewing all the patients and workers to find out where Rachel escaped too. Teddy starts having migraines so the chief gives him aspirin to help his headache. Once Teddy gets to the institution he begins to have illusions about his Wife who was killed two years prior. He figures out that there was no way that Rachel could escape from her room with no shoes and with bars on the window without having any help. Teddy soon realizes that everyone that is working at the institution is acting very weird so he decides to get to the bottom of it and searches the whole island where he sees a flickering light coming from a cave. He climbs up and finds a woman living in the cave and she tells him that she's Rachel and she escaped from the hospital and that she wasn't a patient there she was a doctor. She later tells him that the main doctor, Dr. Cawley does tests on all the patients which screws up their brain and leaves them unable to fend for themselves.

He gets back to the hospital and tells the doctor that he figured everything out and he's not going to get away with what he's doing. Dr. Cawley tells him that he is not Marshell Teddy Daniels and he's really a patient at Shutter Island and he's been here for two years for killing his wife since she drowned all their kids. He suffers from a form of multiple personalities and they thought if they let him live out his "other" life he would come to terms with who he really was and his other life was just a little fantasy that his mind lived in. After watching this movie it made me start to think about all of our fantasies and how crazy we really are for having them. I mean if we let our minds wander we can think up some crazy shit, I know I have. It also shows that nothing and no one is normal nowadays. We are all crazy and we all have things that were into that makes us weird or a little off our rocker, we just need to decide whether to accept our craziness and embrace it. I choose to embrace it and show the world how crazy I am cause I'm not ashamed it's who I am and it makes me ME. I give his movie 4 out of 5 Skulls.

Review, After. Life:

I rented the movie After Life the other night (thank you redbox) and I have mixed feelings about this movie. I remember seeing the preview for this movie and I was really excited to see it cause it looked really good but it kinda fell flat for me, don't get me wrong it was a really good movie but it didn't turn out as good as I thought it would. It was the type of movie that they make look really good in the trailer but the whole entire movie doesn't hold up to the expectations. I understand that they need to put a lot of the good parts into the trailer to make the movie look good so people will want to see it but they need to keep a lot of the good parts in the actual movie so it doesn't suck and people wont be pissed cause the trailer was misleading.

Now this movie didn't turn out as bad as that but it wasn't perfect. After Life is about a girl Anna Taylor a school teacher played by Christina Ricci living with her boyfriend Paul Coleman played by Justin Long. He's such a weird guy, there's something about him that just bothers me. The movie starts out with them doin' the nasty and I suddenly felt awkward cause Anna wasn't into it as much as you would think someone should be. They end up fighting about how she's not into it like she use to, apparently that offended him. Anna heads off to work where in her class room there's two big kids picking on a little kid named Jack so Anna breaks up the fight and begins to talk about funerals to Jack. Anna goes to the funeral of her relative and that's where the funeral home director Eliot Deacon See's Anna for the first time. After the funeral Anna heads to a restaurant to meet Paul for dinner, they order their meals and Paul begins to tell her how he feels and she freaks cause he thinks Paul is going to dump her when he really was going to propose to her. Maybe if you don't freak out and wait for him to finish what he was going to say you would know that he wants to marry you and not dump you.

She storms off and drives away all pissed crying her eyes out and she ends up getting in a car crash. She wakes up confused at where she is and ask where is she and Eliot tells her that she's in the funeral home , she got in a car crash and she died. Anna tries desperately to tell him that she's not dead and she's alive but he keeps telling her that she's in denial and everyone goes through that stage before they accept that their really dead. Through out the movie Anna tries to escape the funeral home but that doesn't work cause she's "dead". Jack keeps showing up to the funeral home and talking to Eliot since his teacher dying sparked his interest in death. I think we have a necrophiliac in the making. After a long time of fighting Anna finally accepts the fact that she's dead and Eliot gets her ready for her funeral. She ask if she can see herself one last time and he gives her a mirror and she breaths out and notices her breath on the mirror and realizes that if she's REALLy dead there wouldn't be any breath on the mirror and she cries out "you lied to me! You lied to me!" Eliot grabs the mirror and tells her that she's dead and she needs to stop telling herself other wise and then he injects some medicine into her which paralyzes her and slows down her heart rate and makes her look as though she was really dead.

After the funeral Paul Anna's boyfriend is convinced that she's not dead and rushes to the cemetery to dig her up but he ends up getting in a crash, stupid idiots! When it's bad weather don't speed and pay attention to the road or you are going to get in a car crash and you will die. He wakes up to find himself in the funeral home with Eliot telling him that he's dead and guess who is with Eliot helping him with his job??? You guessed it, Jack is there helping him with everything cause it looks like Eliot brained washed him into thinking that the dead talk to him and they always try to go on telling them that their not dead, then the movie is over. I liked the movie but it wasn't as good as I thought. Nothing bad but also nothing great.
I give this movie 4 out of 5 Skulls.

Review (April Fool's Day, 1986):


I bought the movie April Fool's Day cause I'm a fan of 80's horror movies and I thought it kinda looked good. The movie was better then I thought it would be and I was very impressed. It starts out with Muffy cleaning out her basement cause she invited all of her friends over for spring break. After that it shows all of her friends on the dock waiting for the boat to arrive to bring them over to Muffy's house. One of the kids Chaz is filming all the friends telling them to tell the camera a little about themselves which introduces us to the slut of the movie Nikki. She tells the camera that she's going to attendant a convent school and that she "fucks" on the first date. You go girl, way to be honest! They get on the boat and two of the goof balls of the bunch Arch and Skip (nice names) are playing around with a pocket knife. Oh that's nice, give two idiots a knife to play around with. One thing leads to another and things start to get out of hand. Arch throws the knife at skip which ends up stabbing him, that's why you don't play with knives kids.
He falls into the ocean and everyone jumps in to save them, that's when they find out it was all a prank.

They get to Muffy's house and they take a look around all impressed of how nice of a house she has. They sit down for dinner and through out the dinner they all get a dose of April Fool's. They head to bed and realize they all have a prank in their room, some of the pranks were actually pretty funny and made me laugh others were like huh? Later on in the night while everyone else is asleep Skip wanders off on his own totally drunk of his ass and he stumbles into the dock house where a cat jumps out at him. He turns around and suddenly he gets killed by an unidentified person. The next morning Muffy is acting weird and everyone has no idea why, they go out to play soccer and Rob and Clara head to the dock house to have some alone time, if you know what that means ;) They start doing the deed and then suddenly Clara See's Skips body floating under the dock and she freaks and they run back to the house asking everyone if they've seen Skip then they realize they haven't seen him since last night. They split up to go look for him and Arch heads out to the woods which I don't know why cause they didn't see him in the woods they saw him in the water under the dock.

Arch walks over some rope which wraps around his leg and holds him up in the air and some person walks up and slashes his throat, at least that's what I think they did cause it doesn't show it. The rest of the group goes back to the house saying they couldn't find Skip and then they see Arch is missing. They all freak out and try to call the cops while Muffy is acting like a freakin weirdo and not even worried that her friends are dying and she might be next. Later that night each of her friends get killed and it's only Rob, Clara and Muffy left. Rob and Clara jump in the boat and find a note which reads that Muffy was in a mental institution for three years, they find out that they left the keys to the boat inside so they go back and find like a height measurement on the wall. On the left side it says Muffy and on the right side it says Buffy and Clara yells out "It's not Muffy after all, she has a twin sister named Buffy. It's Buffy!" Buffy bangs on the window and Rob and Clara run into the kitchen to get the keys to the boat. Buffy breaks open the door and goes after Clara while Rob gets himself locked in the pantry, freakin dofus! Clara runs away from Buffy begging her to stop and then she runs into the living room and sees all her friends there and realize it was all a joke and Buffy who is really Muffy all along says April Fool's and everyone laughs and claps and it's all over.

Dude if my friends did that to me I wouldn't be laughing and clapping I would be freakin pissed, that is so not funny and I would punch them in the face for putting me through that. I swear some people don't know when to stop and they just egg things on too much which cause problems and friendships are going to be ruined. This movie is another movie about a prank going to far and people needing to know when enough is enough. I liked the movie it was pretty good and I can see it being a tradition on April Fool's. I give this movie 4 out of 5 Skulls.
