Ed Gein The Butcher Of Plainfield ?

so this a movie based on the "true events" of Ed Gein. those of you not educated in american serial killer history ed gein was the original leatherface. back in the 1950's in plainfield, wisconsin. he would wear peoples skin, dig up bodies for the cemetry, and who knows what else. so being that he is my favorite serial killer if i had to pick, i was looking forward to this movie. the movie also stars kane hodder, which i like the guy and he can act, he was just to big for the part. that and he was the best actor in the movie, makes it hard for me to root against him. so this movie only got ? but you if do like ed gein, leatheface, or kane hodder you should check this picture show out.

che che che ah ah ah Travis? Travis? Travis?

The Ten

So Travis and I decided to browse Starz on demand to see what movies were currently playing when we came across the movie "The Ten." I noticed that it starred Paul Rudd, Jessica Alba, Adam Brody, and Winona Ryder, so we decided to check it out. The movie is basically ten stories that are loosely based on the ten commandments. The movie had it's comical situations (a woman falling in love with a ventriloquist's dummy) but overall it got tiring and became sort of a labor to watch. By the 8th story I was ready to turn it off, but I wanted to see how it ended so I didn't. If you have the time and the patience to watch this movie, then I'd say it is worth a viewing, if anything just to see super cute Jessica Alba, but if you want to see a movie with a similar premise but far better, check out "Four Rooms," which features four stories, two of which were directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarrantino.

Transylvania??

so ive just been dying for movies to watch and this one was on the sundance channel today. so its starts of with a woman who is looking for a musician and man she had slept with and then the man gets deported. oh this is a foreign film. so she finds the man only for him to be like "i dont love and i wasnt deported i ran away". the rest of the film is her downward spiral and so on. the movie is pretty good and i only got lost in the tranlastion once. oh the movie also stars asia argento who is the daughter of the famous horror director dario argento. she also stared in george a romeros land of the dead. so if you like foreign flims, independent films or asia argento check this one out.

Gotham Knights


I'm probably the only comic book geek on the planet that really doesn't care about the Dark Knight. That said I checked out this sort of prequel/link between Begins & DK animated movie anyways. I really had not read or seen much about it. Someone told me about it a couple months ago and I watched a trailer on YouTube, but had pretty much forgotten about it till I saw it up on a Torrent site on Monday.

Originally I thought this was going to be an animated movie with a continuous story that was a solid link between the two movies. It turns out it's actually a series of vignettes written by several comic writers and David Goyer. My first thought while watching this was that it is exactly like the Animatrix, but for Batman, and after reading some stuff online, that is apparantly what it was supposed to be.

Some of the stories were good, and some were kind of terrible, as one might expect from this sort of thing. Each story is done in a completely different animation style. The first one stood out to me because it was obviously done by the people who did Tekkonkinkreet, who's animation I loved, but the story left something to desired. The best story/animation combo was the story about Killer Croc. The last story with DeadShot was interesting as well. My biggest problem with this was that sometimes they took the anime treatment to far. In one story in particular they change Bruce Wayne so much that for the first 5 minutes I wasn't even sure it was Bruce Wayne.

As a final result. This movie was worth watching. Definately not something that you need to own. You would probably be interested in this if you are one of those people that is counting the days till the Dark Knight, really like Batman, or Just a fan of well produced anime. But rent, don't buy.

Day of the Dead ?

ok ok the first movie to get one ? how bad could a straight to dvd remake be. very bad. strike one straight to dvd, strike two nick cannon i mean its bad when vhing rhames acts circles around you, and strike three it was so bad i think it gave me cancer. so i would still suggest seeing it if you are a die hard zombie fan-romero fan so you can be as upset as i am. so yea. theres more i could say but i really dont want too. uhhhhhhhhhhh.

dont kill him hes still Travis?

OK NOW IT'S TIME FOR GLEN'S THOUGHTS:
This sums up what was wrong with the movie. At one point a Zombie did a flip and then crawled several feet on the ceiling and then did another flip to the ground and killed some dude. yah.
