The Devil's Rejects
Well, I've always said House of 1000 Corpses wasn't much more than a pretty good Texas Chainsaw Massacre ripoff, so my expectations weren't too high for Devils Rejects. It is because of that, that I was actually pleasently surprised with this. The acting was fine, gore was good and abundant, the subject matter as hardcore as it comes, and the story itself, as well as the way it was presented, was rather fairly original. (Some parts reminded me of Natural Born Killers, but for the most part it felt fresh.) The only complaint I had were a few instants of bad CGI (maybe 2 or 3 total). All in all, a very good, pretty hardcore film.
B+
Mystery Science Theatre 3000: Hercules vs. The Moon Men
Well, the Hercules movie itself was, once again, terrible. The plot made no sense, the scenes were long, boring and drawn out and the Italian-English dubbing is horrible.
F
But with the commentary of Joel and the robots, this film steps forward by leaps and bounds. This is probably one of the funnier episodes of the show but keep in mind that this is total pothead humor. If you aren't smokin', you probably won't be laughing either.
