X-men Origins: Wolverine’s claws are pretty dull….
So today I decided to go check out X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I was pretty pumped I must say since I have always wanted to see Wolverine in a true gritty hack ’em slash’em onscreen adventure. Plus I have been a pretty big fan of Hugh Jackman as everybody’s fav berserker canuck! Let’s face it folks, Hugh is looking better than he ever has as this character. I’ve always had high hopes for this film since we have the perfect leading man cast as Wolverine and let’s face it it’s gotta be pretty hard to make a crappy Wolverine movie right? Well they went against all the odds and succeeded in making an ultra crap-tastic adventure!! Yes true beleivers Wolverine does indeed, well, kinda suck.
George Clooney as Wolverine!
Who would have known that George Clooney was such a HUGE Wolverine fan?!! It seems he’s so hyped about the film that he’s been seen and photographed several times in this Wolverine costume around town. Perhaps he’s just jealous of Hugh Jackman? Or maybe just losing his mind? Maybe he wants to star in the sequel? Whatever the reason it’s clear he’s a TOTAL fanboy!!!
George Clooney is definately seeing Wolverine today!!
Greatest Horror music videos ever!! FRIGHT NIGHT!!
When I was looking for clips of ‘Evil Ed’ (who’s probably the coolest character of all time) yesterday to post here I ran across yet another horror music video that must be seen! This is the J. Geils Band doing the song ‘Fright Night’ for the movie!! This was such a cool surprise because I didn’t even know this music video ever existed! Anyway check out this official music video for one of the 80’s coolest vampire movies…
Brigitte Neilson almost hulked out!!
I am not sure what made me think of this but I remembered seeing some pics in the late 80’s maybe in Star Log Magazine of Brigitte Neilson (Red Sonja-hell yeah!!) posing as She-Hulk for a possible movie! So I did a little searching online and sure enough I found the pic. I am kinda bummed that they never filmed it because I have a feeling that it would have been watched at our last “Bad Movie Night” with a pretty good response. It sounds like a good idea doesn’t it? The amazonian bombshell Neilson as the Sensational She-Hulk? Well here’s proof that comic books usually don’t translate well into live action movies…
Neilson as SHE-HULK. Wait isn’t She-Hulk supposed to be green?
Greatest comic book themed music Videos! Power man & iron fist rap about the watchmen in the 80’s!!!!
OK this has to be seen to be beleived!! This “Watchmen” song came out in 1980’s (can this really be real?) by rap duo “Luscious C and DJ Fist”. They are dressed up as Luke “Power Man” Cage and Iron Fist as they rap about the Watchmen!! Um am i dreaming here? Am i still asleep? Why have i never seen or heard of this before? One thing is for sure-I am gonna get the scoop on these guys! Maybe they will make a comeback now that the Watchmen are all the rage? I wonder if at least Alan Moore will check this video out as a substitute for the current movie? I wonder if he approved of this song and video? Who know maybe he sings along to it secretly everyday in the shower?!! Either way this is a true treat. I can honestly say as I search for comic book themed music videos I may as well stop here as I have obviously hit the jackpot-enjoy!!
FEAST III: the happy finish
After seeing the highly disappointing Feast II: Sloppy Seconds, i really didn’t have any expectations for the third and final installment. This movie arrived in video stores in less than a year from the previous ones release. The Happy Finish however is slightly better than the previous film but is still just one big unfunny dick, fart and poop joke. They for some reason used alot of CG blood again (NEVER go that route guys!! Is corn syrup and red food coloring really that expensive now days?!) and weird green screen CG back drops.
The premise of the movie is pretty much the same again as the second one. The group from the end of the last movie is trying to survive the attack still and they meet a whole new cast of characters along the way to be mauled by the very rubbery looking monsters. It includes a cloaked man called “Shortbus” who seemingly can control the monsters and a cheezy kung-fu master called “Jean Claude Segal” among many others.
let the right one in
Ok, so this weekend on Valentine’s Day I saw “Let the Right One In” finally on the big screen (I know I should have seen it sooner but there was a snow storm in Portland and unlike Wisconsin, they have no clue how to plow their damn roads! Sorry PDX but you guys are weak ass snow drivers!). I have been wondering if the title came from one of my favorite musical artists of all time, Morrissey. I would say the answer if yes but I guess that remains to be seen. This movie was definately something special as it left you with that lingering and unsettling feeling that will be left with you for days.
This Swedish film is not your average vampire flick to say the least. It mainly revolves around an odd 12 year old boy by the name of Oskar who’s in a constant struggle with a group of bullies from his school. He spends much of his time alone plotting revenge, stabbing a knife into a tree at his apartment complex and reciting the final words of their demise. One cold evening he meets a strange girl named “Eli” who is standing on the snow covered jungle gym at the complex. You can tell as she first leaps to the ground that there is definately more to her than meets the eye.
3-D Bloody RULES!!!
Yesterday i went to see the brand spankin’ new remake of “My Bloody Valentine” in 3-D and i must say it was worth every penny. i must admit though i have never actually seen the original version of the movie-but i do intend to. The plot is pretty simple, coal miner Harry Warden is trapped in a tragic mining accident and ends up being the only survivor winding up in a coma as a result of it. A year later he awakens on Valentine’s Day and slaughters 2 dozen people as he makes his escape from the hospital only to be “killed” by two local police officers. Fast forward 10 years and the killer is supposedly back in the small town of Harmony (where this all took place originally), dressed as a masked miner, armed with a pick axe and ready to do some damage.
Oh yeah, the only thing that really sucked about this movie was all the flying glass that i had to pull out of my skin afterwards…

Grizzly Adams vs. The Christmas Nazi Elves!!
This was the second year that I celebrated Christmas with a “Christmas Horror” night. Yeah I know what you’re thinking, maybe we could have watched Scrooged, Black Christmas, Silent Night Deadly Night or even Gremlins right? WRONG! I wanted something special this year and what’s more amazing than watching a chain smoking “Grizzly Adams” battle evil nazi Elves on christmas eve?!! Yeah this little jem of a movie from 1988 is simply titled “Elves” and it delivered the goods!
The premise is simple, a teenage girl figures out that she is the spawn of a sinister Nazi experiment which involves human breeding with demonic elves attempting to create a race of superhumans. Her and two of her super skanky friends decide to spend the night in a department store hoping to get laid by a group of teenage douche bags in the sporting goods section.
But instead they discover they are trapped inside with a crazy horny elf and a group of neo Nazi’s hellbent on getting this little horndog laid on Christmas eve to officially start the master race. Their only hope is Dan Hagerty(hell yeah- TV’s Grizzly Adams!) who plays a down on his luck, chain smokin’, homeless, recovering alcoholic, ex-con, ex-cop who is currently trying to hold down a job as the department store’s Santa Claus. Really now does it get any better than that? Continue reading
