Grindhouse (2007)

Good, bloody fun!

[9/10 · 25 March 2007]

I went into this film with expectations for an extreme amount of campy senseless gore and violence - and it was delivered as promised! A WARNING: Know what to expect when you go see this movie, or you might be surprised/disappointed. There is no moral, no good sense or life lesson to be taken from the story lines or characters. Sometimes things don't make sense and this is all done on purpose in homage to original exploitation films Warnings aside, Grindhouse is a lot of fun, there were as many "ooh" and "ahh" moments as there were "oh my god why did they show that?" moments. All of the actors' performances were right on and the action directing was excellent. My only negative comment is that Tarintino's film dragged a bit in the middle, but he more than made up for it. I couldn't help but raise my fist in the air and shout out "yeah!" at the end of his flick.

You will be surprise, you will be disgusted and you'll enjoy the hell out of it.

A unique cinema experience indeed.

In the Mouth of Madness (1994)

Genuinely scary and overlooked movie.

[9/10 · 5 October 1999]

In the Mouth of Madness is a truly scary movie. The basic idea is that a horror writer, Sutter Kane, is making his fans crazy. As the movie progresses, we find that his books are acutually true. Surprisingly, most people haven't heard of this movie but I highly recommend it. Sam Neil gives one of the better performances of his career and John Carpenter once again delivers the scares and chills in this movie.

This Is the Disk-O-Boyz (1999)

Decent movie with its moments

[5/10 · 27 September 1999]

I saw Disk-O-Boyz at a sneak and found it to be a fairly entertaining movie. It had it's funny moments but the obvious low-budgetness and bad dramatic scenes take away from the point of the movie. If you love or hate bands like N' Sync, Backstreet Boys and 98 degrees then this movie will have parts that you enjoy. The band's original music like the song "Panties" add to the movie a lot.
