Got a free rental from RedBox tonight, so I grabbed this... I simply couldn't resist....

"Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies" (2012)

The Asylum's pre-epmptive bite (pun not intended) off of the upcoming "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" sends the Great Emancipator on a secret mission behind Confederate lines during the last days of the Civil War, only to find the enemy's fort overrun with the living dead. Notable historical figures like General Stonewall Jackson, John Wilkes Booth (!), Teddy Roosevelt, and Pat Garrett join Honest Abe in his battle against the zombie uprising. Historically accurate? Of course not. Funny as hell? You betcha.

 

Yeah, it's ridiculous, but y'know what? As Asylum movies go, this one actually isn't half bad. The dude playing Lincoln resists the urge to go campy and just plays it straight and stoic, and the period details certainly look old-timey enough. This may actually be their most accomplished production yet. Of course, that's not saying much... but if you simply can't wait till the "real" Abraham Lincoln horror flick comes out, this is a decent time waster.

THE NEXT THREE DAYS (2010)

Russell Crowe portrayed a determined, family-loving, husband and father, trying to take his wife out of jail because he believed she's innocent. This is probably a combination of Fugitive and Prison Break, a great thriller and family movie at the same time.

"Planet Terror" (2007)

[media=]

[/media]

 

Robert Rodriguez' half of the "Grindhouse" two-fer finds a little Texas town under attack from brain-eating zombie mutants. The townspeople must band together to survive, led by Rose McGowan as a one legged stripper who fights back against the evil with her newest prosthetic.

 

This hilarious homage to 70s exploitation cheese is just pure fun. Ya got boobs, ya got violence, ya got gore, ya got stuff blowin' up on a regular basis, what more do you need?

 

...and one legged or not, Rose McGowan has NEVER looked hotter than she did in this movie, before or since.

"Death Proof" (2007)

[media=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEVyC8FByng[/media]

 

A psycho stunt man who enjoys killing girls with his souped-up car meets his match when he unwisely starts a cat-and-mouse game with a trio of troublemaking babes out for a test drive...

 

Quentin Tarantino's half of the "Grindhouse" combo pack starts off VERY slowly (I swear, the first 40 minutes are nothing but the characters talkin', talkin', talkin', to the point where I was practically screaming "SHUT THE F*CK UP AND DO SOMETHING!" but the second half is total automotive bad-assery, culminating in some of the best car-chase footage ever put to celluloid.

 

I preferred "Planet Terror" but once this thing finally started kickin' ass I have to admit that I got hooked.

"Jersey Shore Shark Attack" (2012)

[media=]

[/media]

 

Guidos vs. Great Whites! When Seaside Heights is invaded by hordes of man-eating sharks (drawn from the depths by undersea drilling) it's up to T.C., Paulie Balzac, Nooki and the gang to save the July 4th weekend.

 

Fun piece of SyFy Channel nonsense that sends up both the "Jaws" series and the "Jersey Shore" fad. As an added bonus, this flick's parody version of "Snooki" is better looking than the real one, by a mile!

Haha! That sounds like a must see!!

 

Chronicle - this was actually kind of cool. I never knew what it was about but always thought it looked interesting. Three young punks get themselves some super powers of sorts and chaos ensues. It's a little slow at times and you spend a bit of the time wondering why... but it's goo enough. I didn't mind it.

Can't access the blog, but from the brief write up here I really like the sound of this. Definitely on my watch list now.

QUIZ SHOW (1994)

based on true-story about a rigged quiz show of the 50s. Decent movie but the acting is very good here and opened up eyes about how much lies the TV actually had for years, even to this day.

I'm surprised I'm posting this, but last night I watched a movie called Apocalypto, from Mel Gibson.

 

I won't even pretend to understand all the nuances, but for a film with no English and subtitles, with a run time over 2 hours, and having the name Mel Gibson attached to it, I was very engaged throught. It's about an ancient Mayan kingdom, their kidnap, and one man's struggle to return to a life of peace. I don't post often here and for me to give a glowing recommendation, it had to be a bit hit with me. I wouldn't describe it as an arthouse flick, but definitely artsy, graphic (in good and I'm sure bad, to some, in ways), and visually stimulating.

 

I would watch it again in a heartbeat, just to pick up some things I missed/didn't comprehend the first time.

    • Sounds pretty good all round...just preordered..released 22nd Nov  
    • Luckily I will hopefully be front row so wont make a mess on anyones back.
    • If we never hear from you again, at least we'll know you went out with a smile on your face. 
    • Wow! Thank you so much mate. That's a massive compliment. That was the first one I wrote and I think it's my favourite so far. Like Geoff, I'm tending to draw on past personal experiences for my lyrics and that one means a lot. I was thrilled when the AI came up with that interpretation. 
    • Well this is some excellent news. Going to see Sophie Lloyds first headline show on 17th Oct in London (tiny club called The Underworld) and it has just been announced that the support act will be Chez Kane... can I handle two fit birds peforming on stage or will my heart give out before the show is over?
    • I don't rate or grade albums with any kinda numbering system or percentage. All I do is think which were the albums I enjoyed most, which generally means got played the most (I mean you don't play the worst albums over and over again for months), with memorable songs. Then when it comes to what order they go in. Once again, I just go with what I feel got the most airplay for me over the course of time. Obviously an album released in Jan is gonna potentially have more play time than one released in November, but It's down to longevity as well. If I play an album solidly for a month then move on, it's probably gonna be top 10, but if other albums are still being played regularly 3 or more months after release, those are gonna rank higher. I mean this year Judas Priest was a fairly early release in the year, but I am still playing it now, although  not as often. Then an album like Mick Mars which I loved, but has kinda fallen off my radar in the last six months, will rank a lot lower. I try to not go for recency bias as well even though I have been listening to one album in my top 10 for only a week, but it was such an insantaneous album I know its gonna get heavy play time for the next few months.
    • Good Times Roll-The Cars
    • Video for 'I'll Stand For You'.    
    • New song 'Who Am I' taken from the album 'Into The Great Unknown' out November 15 through Frontiers.    
    • @Darkstone, I just randomly clicked on your link and listened to "Hardened Heart." In the interest of full disclosure, I am not personally a fan of AI music--I find something about the vocals sterile and offputting--but I wanted to say that I thought that particular song sounded like something White Lion would have done back in the day. Nice power ballad, despite my aforementioned issues with AI tunes. While it's not for me, I'm glad people have an outlet for their creative impulses, and there's no doubt some cool stuff is emerging, with "Hardened Heart" being among the best I've heard.
