The calendar might say November, but it's still Schlock-Tober at Freddy's!

Last night's feature presentation:

 

"The Butcher" - a cheap looking, low-rent body count flick which "borrows" (*cough cough STEALS cough cough*) liberally from numerous other movies, including "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "The Hills Have Eyes" and "People Under the Stairs." A group of annoying twenty somethings get into an auto accident on a deserted road and when they go looking for help, they're victimized by a family of inbred redneck cannibals at a remote farm house. Gee, that's an original plot huh?

 

I'll give "The Butcher" one thing, it sure doesn't waste any time with unnecessary frills like story, plot or character development -- it pretty much gets right to the nasty stuff as soon as the opening credits have finished rolling.

 

The nicest thing I can say about this one...uhhhh... it had a couple of lesbians in it. Huh huh. Yeah. Lesbians rule! Huh huh huh huh. Oh yeah, and it had lotsa blood too. Blood's cool. Huh huh huh.

 

Seriously, this wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen, it wasn't anywhere near the best, it was just..."there." Something pointless to while away 90 minutes. What the hell, I only paid $3.99 for it.

 

To give you an idea of how obscure this movie is, I couldn't even find a trailer for it on YouTube -- just this clip that gives a sample of the bad acting.

Seriously, I wanted Popped Shirt Collar Guy to die horribly within 30 seconds of his first appearance on screen. Keep in mind that none of the people in this movie could act worth a lick but he was quite possibly the most annoying human being I've ever seen in a movie.

 

 

Hmmm.. This is on Netflix for instant viewing... I wonder, is it worth it Man??? :unsure:

Is it gonna cost you anything? If not, I'd say "have at it." Otherwise, you can live a full happy life without ever sitting thru this flick.

"The Punisher" (2004)

This one was slightly more faithful to the Punisher comic character than the 1989 film version starring Dolph Lundgren, but in the end it's still a Punisher flick in name only. At least he's wearing the skull on his chest this time. Setting all of the action in sunny Florida (?) was not a great idea, as Frank Castle is a New Yorker and has always been an urban jungle kind of guy. The side plot with Frank's doofus neighbors trying to be nice to him and get to know him was irritating too.

 

On the other hand, when they blow sh*t up in this movie, they blow A LOT OF SH*T UP and John Travolta has a nice turn as the villain.

 

A decent action flick in its own right, but so far I'd say that Hollywood has yet to properly translate The Punisher to film. Maybe they finally got it right with "Punisher: War Zone?" I'll have to get to that one sometime soon.

Boys Of Fall - a documentary centered on life and High School Football.

 

bought this DVD yesterday and watching it today. FANTASTIC

 

 

The following content was provided by the publisher.

 

 

"Boys of Fall" is a football documentary about life. Executive Producer and Country Superstar, Kenny Chesney began shooting footage and football interviews for his new single "The Boys of Fall" in fall 2009. After shooting footage of friend and New Orleans Saints' coach Sean Payton at his high school alma mater, Chesney decided to expand the video into a full documentary film. Over the next several months he filmed youth football games, high school football games & locker room speeches as well as interviews with football greats. Interviews include Troy Aikman, Bobby Bowden, Mack Brown, Tony Dungy, Brett Favre, John Madden, Peyton Manning, Joe Namath, Sean Payton, Bill Parcells, Nick Saban and Jim Tressel. After an introduction that includes Payton speaking to his old high school team in the locker room before a big game, it depicts how those who do not go on to long, storied careers in the NFL, like high school wide receiver Chesney, the lessons learned on the field help to shape who they are today.

"Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain"

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoyFkrG9qII

 

Goofy little splatter film that can be summed up in one sentence: "porn stars vs. cannibals." (I bet Geoff is interested now. Haha.)

 

A bunch of American tourists (including Jenna Jameson, Chasey Lain and Taylor Hayes) are taking a trip thru the Irish countryside when they meet up with a tribe of flesh chowin' inbred mutants who look like the members of GWAR. Stabbings, impalings, gore, bare boobs, and extremely bad acting follow.

 

Don't bother renting this one strictly for the porn gals, cuz they all have pretty small roles (except for aging '80s adult video queen Ginger Lynn, who plays the caretaker of the cottage our tourists stay at -- and who apparently keeps forgetting that she's playing an Irish woman in this flick, cuz her Irish accent comes and goes throughout the movie. Haha.) Absolutely ridiculous, but oh so much fun to watch.

 

Apparently this movie was supposed to be a totally over-the-top, out-and-out gore fest but it was subject to massive editing prior to release. There's still some blood and guts to be had but they're barely a hint of what might have been. (uncut versions of a couple of the gore scenes are included on the DVD as bonus features and yes, they are suitably yucky.)

 

But hey, if you've ever wanted to see a porn star get one of her silicon breast implants ripped out of her chest by an inbred cannibal mutant, this is your movie!!

'3:10 to Yuma' ; watched this last weekend but forgot to report on it. With the cast it had I'm surprised I never knew this existed, but I really liked it. Sure indeed it was a sad ending, but I really enjoyed the whole film. Nice one.

"Deep Rising" (1998)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8CYpb7zrjs

 

A crew of mercenaries vs. a horde of killer mutant octopus-like creatures aboard a fancy cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. Cheesy but fun action/comedy/horror flick, directed by Stephen Sommers ("The Mummy," "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra"). Treat Williams is great as the totally deadpan hero ("Now what?"). A cool, overlooked monster mash.

My wife picked this one out for tonight...

 

"Abandoned" - Brittany Murphy's last film. She drops her boyfriend off at a hospital for a routine procedure and... he disappears without a trace. She then spends the rest of the movie trying to convince hospital security and the police that she's not crazy. Not bad, but not great, this was a pretty routine low budget suspense/mystery flick that probably would've went quietly to DVD or premiered on the Lifetime Network if it weren't for the added "BRITTANY MURPHY'S FINAL PERFORMANCE" hype.

Brittany was cute years ago, but all through this movie I kept saying "Damn, she looks like hell."
