The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)


Hated it the first time I watched it, but decided to give it another chance. Not as bad as I remembered it, but still not that great. It had its moments, but overall Im not a big fan.
I still haven't seen this...I bought the 2-disc deluxe edition of it for a whopping $4.50 when Circuit City was having their after Thanksgiving sales, but I'm not interested enough to have seen it yet.

Quigley Down Under


I love this movie. Tom Selleck is one of the few actors nowadays who actually looks like he belongs in a western. Great action, good acting and the right amount of humor. A wonderful film. To bad they never made a sequel.

The Underground Comedy Movie

Er.... Did someone forget to tell these guys that movies have plots and characters and that comedy's are supposed to be funny? This "movie" was basically about 3 different takes of about 10 different mini-sketches. A few were reomtely funny, most were not. Overall, I was bored with this. Think of it like Jackass, a bunch of random, stupid skits but scripted and trying way too hard to be funny and then they try to thread some loose-fitting nonsensical plot through a couple of the scenes... What we end up with is this waste of time. Excellent soundtrack though.

D The soundtrack and three or four funny parts spared it from an 'F'.




Bad Religion: The Riot


This was a pretty cool hour long video showing some old late 80s/early 90s Bad Religion footage. I enjoyed this because every time I've seen them live, it's been much more recent and they've played newer material so it was cool to see some of their old shit being played live. The footage of the 1990 riot in North Hollywood that started because the fire marshalls shut down a Bad Religion show before it ever started was not as graphic or cool as I was hoping, but it was still a pretty awesome spectical of anarchy. The theatre that was supposed to host the show was 100% ransacked, swat teams in riot gear, paramedics, fire departments with water hoses and helicopters with search lights were all called in to disperse the unruly mob. Pretty entertaining film, but not the greatest sound quality on some of the concert footage from 1988.

Dazed and Confused

This is just one of those movies I can watch over and over and it never seems to lose it's appeal. Aside from Big Lebowski and Vacation, there are not too many comedys I can say that about. Expertly cast & written. Fantastic soundtrack. Good actors across the board and just an overall excellent movie. No matter how much I watch it, it doesn't get old.

$4.50...just about what its worth. Maybe a little overpriced...

Really though, if you have it anyway its worth a watch. Most of it is pretty bad, but the overall look and feel is kinda cool. You'd like parts of it.

The Outlaw Josey Wales

Out of boredom I started acting out a scene, turned the tv off for about 5 minutes then back on, I was in perfect unison with the film.

Somebody needs to come up with another, more pathetic sounding word, the term 'fanboy' just doesn't seem like enough.
