Halloween Would Not Be Complete Without A Viewing Of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
October 25, 2012 | No Comments » | Topics: Movies |
First, the movie. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is probably one of the scariest movies ever made. It was unique for its time, and there’s still nothing quite like it today. The plot doesn’t sound like much- 2 women and 3 men make a drive to rural Texas to check out a graveyard that has been ‘defiled’, and to also relax and enjoy themselves. This last part of their vacation plan doesn’t go real smoothly, as they make the mistake of wandering into an area where an insane, backwoods, inbred, cannibalistic sociopathic family live. Things get more and more horrifying from there. The film builds up suspense like no other and when the murders do actually happen they are not ruined, like many other horrors, by almost comical deaths, they are nasty! This film is gritty and raw, with documentary like visuals which only add further to the sense of fear which you can almost smell. The acting is brilliant, its laid back yet energetic at the same time. Never have I seen fear portrayed as realistically as Marilyn Burns haunting display in this movie (but then again I never looked at myself in the mirror while watching the film). All of the factors in this film mix to make an evil couldron of depravity, that’ll make you too afraid to look but even more scared when you close your eyes. This film is the freakiest i’ve ever seen and to say i enjoyed it seems kind’a sick as the killings are so realistic and depraved, but there’s no denying it, I loved it and you will too.

Zombie Movie You Should Watch Of The Day: Dawn Of The Dead (1978)
October 21, 2012 | 1 Comment » | Topics: Movies |
There’s not much use denying it… George A. Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead” is one of the chosen few, absolute greatest horror films ever made and it’s fairly unimaginable that a powerful movie like this will ever come out again. Even more than its 1968 predecessor, the landmark known as “Night of the Living Dead”, this film contains literally everything to satisfy even the most demanding fan of horror cinema. The weird thing is that the gore in this movie isn’t unnecessary, it suits the purpose. In this sequel to the classic, the zombies have taken over the land and have spread to immense numbers. A group of people escape the carnage in a helicopter, and take refuge in a huge mall where they can live off the supplies inside for years. They have to fend off the zombies trying to get in, as well as a sadistic group of bikers who want to loot the place. Awesome film, lots of gory action and flesh-munching.

The Ending Of 2001 A Space Odyssey Explained By Stanley Kubrick
August 7, 2012 | No Comments » | Topics: Movies |
This one goes out to all the folks that love 2001 A Space Odyssey but still don’t know what the hell was going on at the end…
GELMIS: The final scenes of the film seemed more metaphorical than realistic. Will you discuss them — or would that be part of the “road map” you’re trying to avoid?
KUBRICK: No, I don’t mind discussing it, on the lowest level, that is, straightforward explanation of the plot. You begin with an artifact left on earth four million years ago by extraterrestrial explorers who observed the behavior of the man-apes of the time and decided to influence their evolutionary progression. Then you have a second artifact buried deep on the lunar surface and programmed to signal word of man’s first baby steps into the universe — a kind of cosmic burglar alarm. And finally there’s a third artifact placed in orbit around Jupiter and waiting for the time when man has reached the outer rim of his own solar system. When the surviving astronaut, Bowman, ultimately reaches Jupiter, this artifact sweeps him into a force field or star gate that hurls him on a journey through inner and outer space and finally transports him to another part of the galaxy, where he’s placed in a human zoo approximating a hospital terrestrial environment drawn out of his own dreams and imagination. In a timeless state, his life passes from middle age to senescence to death. He is reborn, an enhanced being, a star child, an angel, a superman, if you like, and returns to earth prepared for the next leap forward of man’s evolutionary destiny. That is what happens on the film’s simplest level. Since an encounter with an advanced interstellar intelligence would be incomprehensible within our present earthbound frames of reference, reactions to it will have elements of philosophy and metaphysics that have nothing to do with the bare plot outline itself.
GELMIS: What are those areas of meaning?
KUBRICK: They are the areas I prefer not to discuss because they are highly subjective and will differ from viewer to viewer. In this sense, the film becomes anything the viewer sees in it. If the film stirs the emotions and penetrates the subconscious of the viewer, if it stimulates, however inchoately, his mythological and religious yearnings and impulses, then it has succeeded. (Gelmis, The Film Director as Superstar, 1970, p. 304.)

August 3, 2012 | No Comments » | Topics: Nostalgia |
If you grew up in the 80′s and 90′s, you definitely had a viewing or 10 of the awesome GI Joe movie. The movie that was a week long event and where SGT Slaughter would appear between commercial break to hype up the movie. The movie that threw everybody into a emotional whirlwind when Serpentor threw that snake into Duke’s heart. The movie with that damn epic battle at the end. I’ll take this movie over the recent live action incarnations any freaking day of the week.
