There's Always Vanilla


Ugh! Romero followed up NotLD with this piece of crap? No wonder it's so seldom seen, heard of or talked about! It has to be one of the most boring films I've ever seen! It's about a free spirited 'longhair' that's trying to figure himself out. Almost like Easy Rider, minus the motorcycles, scenery and violence at the end. You're probably wondering what you'd be left with if you took those 3 elements out of Easy Rider... Let me fill you in. You'd be left with a boring movie about a hippy that can't seem to find his place in the world. Zzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzz.... I thought it sucked. The only thing saving it from an 'F' grade is the fact that it's Romero and I just don't have the heart to fail him.

It's alright...not the best, certainly not the worst.

Get through that and 5. Then you're in for a real treat when you get to 6. It's a gem.

The Woods

Lucky McKee's first full length film since May shows a definite improvement. Although it was a little similar to Suspiria, I wouldn't go so far as to say that it was a clone. Most of the principals turn in fine performances, especially Agnes Bruckner. The ending did seem somewhat rushed, but it's forgivable. All in all, I was quite pleased with this film. Overall: 7/10.

Went to a grindhouse double feature last night and saw The Forest and Don't Go in the Woods - two 80s expliotation slashers.

The Forest was hilariously bad - wierd ghost childre, an on-the-nose soundtrack, a crazy cannibal, closeted gay lead actors...fucking great.

Don't Go in the Woods had better gore, but was tedious as hell.

Crank.
The storyline was so-so, but not bad...one of those movies that goes from zero to one hundred real soon after the beggining. Great soundtrack, and some interesting camerawork, and pretty funny moments of dialogue...not to mention hugely more violent than I was expecting. By all means, not a cinematic masterpeice, but a very fun film all the same.
Haven't laughed so much in a film in a long time.

"Scary movie 4"

Had me laughing from time to time.

Especially the Saw intro with Dr. Phil and the Tom-Cruice-makes-an-ass-out-of-himself-in-Oprah ending made me laugh out loud.

Might be the worst in the series, but I still enjoyed it.
