Movie Reviews of 2005 #23 - SAW II

"Oh Yes, There Will Be Blood " Is the tagline for this movie. And they did not lie.

Not long after the opening credits for the various agencies involved in the production, we were brutally sucked into the vortex of the perverse 'game' that was just starting.

Oh yes, there was blood. And the blood flowed freely & often throughout the run of this movie. The story starts with a man in a room just waking up wearing a springloaded iron masque of death, not knowing what the hell is going on. Now some people on other sites say that "most of the movie you do not know what to expect,/ what will happen next". I don't know about those guys, but to us it was pretty obvious this guy will not pass the test, thus get his head clamped in the clam-shell device with hundreds of steel spikes, causing massive amounts of blood to spray, and then fell limply to the floor dead.

Past this point I really cannot say more without partial spoilers, or partial nausea, for the readers out there. REALLY, it is a gore fest of the 3rd magnitude. If you or the person with you at the theatre fall under:

• Easily squeamish
• Cannot handle blood, needles, vomit, self mutilation
• have issues with the internal workings of the human body becoming external
• just plain get creeped out & woozy at the drop of a hat

This is not a movie for you, go see Prime instead. For the rest of us, this is a movie you have got to see. Just don't eat a big dinner of pasta before the movie, nor plan on eating pasta afterwards.

There were some flaws in continuity, and several "W.T.F?" moments of the characters doing something totally, retardedly, absolutely, stupid. {You will know what I'm talking about when you see the scenes}. But overall I liked the movie, it's about time the P.C. Hollywood dipshits signed off on a good old fashion bloodbath instead of the torrent of feelgood pablum that is being forced down our throats, in our ears, and through our eyes.

Final Note: If I see ANYONE I know take a kid to this movie.

Shame on you, you sick twisted fu({s!

White Sox WIN ! ! !

It is one thing to get into the world series, it is totally another to do such after over 80 years.

And even more so to win in a four game series close-out.

I am happy.

I just hope to live long enough to see the Cubs do the same. Being that I am originally from Hammond, IN, I am considered a "southsider". {It is a lot easier to say I am from So. Chicago than explain that I was born in what is considered "South Chicago" in the larger picture}. But despite mine & others angst about the total destruction of the original ball park, & then later on, having what was/is considered by those traditionalists of Chicago upbringing . . . .

IT IS COMISKEY PARK DAMMIT, AND ALWAYS WILL BE! Despite the latest trend to rename places of history, places of long known remembrances, and where many people saw the first baseball game of what they can remember, {or think they remember}, because of some contractual obligation to the sponsor that has the most money. It is still Comiskey field to myself & many others.

I am just really happy that they made it to the ALCS series, and then the World Series.

And then they win in in FOUR GAMES!!!!!!@!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again, I am proud to be a Chicago-an. And now can say I am from the South Side without getting scowled at.

I still really think it would be cool to see the Sox & Cubs in the World Series.


But you would have to lock down the whole tri-state area, enforce marshal law, and basically close down the metro Chicago area if that were to ever happen.

Then again, Lake Michigan would probably turn warm by August if that ever happened, & Petey the peg-legged pirate penguin that prefers puffin porn will finally find the secret to the universal flange. [he was abandoned in Chicago while on a mission, and now is working for me. The whole abandonment issue got him to become one of the black & white side]. Much like the White Sox colors.

Blessed Be, Dr. S.

Movie Reviews of 2005 #22 - A History of Violence

Any movie that has the word 'violence' in the title should be mandated to include violence. This one does, and quite graphically in the first few minutes.

But when you have to wait more than 20 minutes to see blood & gore from a movie that is advertised as a blood & gore, something is wrong.

At the screening, we had about eight people, within ten minutes it became an extended live version of 'Mystery Science Theatre 3000'. We all knew, or made side-bets of what would happen next, or yelled out our feelings about "what the fuck . . ."

It would not be so bad for the fact that the majority of the movie I could count anywhere from five to eighteen during the EXTREMELY, PAST DUE DATE, LET'S INDUCE FORCED, labored pauses.

There are many out there that think this movie is Oscar material. I think they should put the crack pipe down, stop huffing the kitty litter, and get a life.

This movie is bad, more than bad, it is just plain go strait to $4.99 DVD cut out bin bad. Basis of this opinion you ask?

When you have the whole group of the screening walk outside and in almost unison go, "what the hell, what the fuck, I want the last two hours of my life refunded, etc"

You know it is bad.

P.S. It took me from 2am Thurs. till now to try to find a civil & nice way to phrase this critique. So if you think I railed on it now, you should have heard what the original version was.

Blessed Be, Dr. S.

Movie Reviews of 2005 #21 - Serenity

I waited to make this post until I saw 'Firefly', the series that this movie is not only based on, but contains the cast of as well.

I admit that going into the theatre I was apprehensive about watching a movie so closely tied to a Sci-Fi series that had been bounced from network to network. I had never seen Firefly, and barely remembered what the show was about. But I was in for one hell of a surprise.

THIS FLICK IS DAMN GOOD!

Very often science fiction genre movies are dry of humour, devoid of decent storyline, and appeal to only those that worship the comicbook, cartoon, latenight series, or fantasy bored {spelled correctly in this case}, game. In other words 'outsiders' like myself are not only lost on the nuances, but not included on what the hell is going on.

Serenity however breaks that mold. After two of my cohorts in crime told me the back story, I thought "Oh fuck, not another piece of shit bought out by Hollywood & bastardized into mindless pulp again...".

In the first few minutes of the show I was sucked in, engrossed, and following along with what is going on. And also, by the way, I WAS ENTERTAINED! I did not have to see the series, I did not have to be some pasty 40 year old that argues the difference between "Next Generation" & "Battlestar Galactica", and why one is better than the other. {BTW. I favour DS-9. Why? Because the chicks look better ;-)}.

OK I know I will catch hell for that comment, but that is my opinion, this is my blog, if you disagree fine, counter comment away below. At least I will know someone reads my rantings.

That aside, this is a great film. Sci-Fi with a sense of humour, and a story that will pull in the people least likely to enjoy it, and really blow away the geeks that live in the parents basement.

GO SEE THIS MOVIE! You will not regret it.

Blessed Be, Dr. S.
