The Thanksgiving dishes are cleared away and that means it's time to start kickin' the annual Twisted Christmas film festival. First up...

 

"Jack Frost" (1997)

In this tongue-in-cheek comic horror cult classic, it's a few days before Christmas and a serial killer on his way to the execution chamber has a run-in with some experimental genetic material that turns him into a psycho Frosty. Once he's transformed, he seeks revenge on the cop who put him away in the first place.

 

...Seriously. I'm not makin' this sh*t up.

 

This hilarious (on purpose) zero-budget fun even stars a pre-"American Pie" Shannon Elizabeth as the town teenage tramp.

Obviously this is not to be confused with the family-friendly film by the same name starring Michael Keaton, which came out about a year after this... though I hear the Keaton movie is pretty horrific in its own right. :rofl2:

:) Radioactive convict, snowman... If memory serves there are more than one of these...

 

 

Internship: not bad and I love Vince Vaughn when he plays himself.

I picked up a cheapy 12-pack horror DVD called "Fright Fest" a month or so back that had "Jack Frost 2" on it, so naturally when the original turned up on Netflix last night I sez to myself (only half seriously) "Well, y'know, I really should watch the original before I watch the sequel, so I'm caught up on all the back story," hahaha :rofl2:

Back story... :whistle:

 

On topic: R.I.P.D.

 

Not that bad. However it was way similar to Ghost busters/Men In Black... I did enjoy the use of the Victoria Secret model, nice touch and its good to see Kevin Bacon.

Twisted Christmas Film Festival, Round 2...

 

"Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman" (2000)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX7YigAcGdM

 

Still haunted by memories of his last battle with the killer snowman, the Sheriff from the first "Jack Frost" movie takes a holiday trip to a tropical island with his wife and some friends... only to be pursued by the re-constituted frozen killer, who can not only survive the warm temperatures, but can reproduce himself (!) in the form of tiny homicidal snowballs. Cheap gory mayhem ensues. (including a few rather obvious nods to "Gremlins").

 

This cheap as hell sequel wasn't nearly as much fun as the first "JF," mainly because the cast plays up the comedic/camp factor this time around. It was actually funnier when they played everything straight in the first movie, as if they were in a "real" horror flick). The evil snowball critters were a hoot though.

"Last Days Here" (2011)

 

In the 1970s, Pentagram could've been America's answer to Black Sabbath... but the unpredictable nature of lead singer Bobby Liebling f*cked it up for them and the band fell apart. Liebling then spent the next 30+ years living in his parents' basement, using tons of drugs and putting together numerous half-assed "new" Pentagram lineups, hoping to get a second shot at the big time. When a longtime Pentagram fan begins acting as Bobby's new manager and tries to help him achieve that dream, they hit many obstacles along the way.

 

This flick is like the darker side of "Anvil! The Story of Anvil," as both films cover similar themes (i.e. rockers who probably should've hung it up ages ago, but refuse to quit) although Bobby Liebling's story is more tragic than Anvil's. Still, it's a fascinating, though somewhat depressing, film that's worth a look. Now I gotta look into getting some of Pentagram's tunes, cuz they sound pretty bad-ass...!

 

 

Pentagram> Sabbath(classic era)

 

Thanx for the link. There were times when I've imagined myself being a moth in Bobby's wardrobe

"I Need That Record!" (2008)

 

A documentary about the independent record store, which (as we all know) is disappearing from the American landscape at an alarming rate.

 

According to the comments from high powered indie rock types like Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Mike Watt (the Minutemen) and Ian MacKaye (Fugazi) the loss of the corner record store isn't simply a symptom of the problems in the music business, but with the corporate, big-box store homogenization of American culture in general.

 

(In other words, kids: Music = good. Big Business = bad. Mmmm-kay?)

 

Obviously this flick isn't gonna tell you anything you don't already know, but it's a fun watch due to the various 'characters' that are interviewed (shop owners, customers, musicians, etc.) ... plus the clips of people happily rooting through stacks of dusty LPs and CDs will bring back pleasant memories of the pre-digital age for music junkies...

High Fidelity (2000)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svn3TDuSnIk

 

After being dumped by his latest girlfriend, a list-obsessive music junkie and Chicago record store owner (John Cusack) re-evaluates his many disastrous attempts at finding love in this dryly amusing comedy. Cusack's constant breaks through the "fourth wall" where he addresses the viewer directly are hilarious, and so is Jack Black as Cusack's insanely elitist rock-snob employee at the record store (who proudly wears a Yanni tour shirt!).

 

Romantic comedies are not usually my "thang" but this one gets a pass because of the excellent performances and it's rock 'n' roll edge.

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010)

 

 

In this oddball holiday fantasy/horror flick from Finland, a mining expedition atop a Finnish mountain has uncovered the long lost burial site of the original Santa Claus... who, as it turns out, isn't quite as jolly as expected. Now it's up to a group of local yokels to save Christmas, and the world.

 

If you can imagine John Carpenter's "The Thing" re-imagined as a holiday special you're almost in the ballpark of this utterly weird, yet totally enjoyable, flick.

    • Anything created to promote our music is good news and Skunk Anansie are quality. 
    • FRONTIERS EXPANSION, NEW LABEL IMPRINT AND MAJOR SIGNING NEWS! A special message from Serafino Perugino, President of Frontiers Label Group: Dear friends, I am thrilled to announce the creation of Frontiers Label Group, which will umbrella Frontiers Music Srl and further labels, the first of which is our new imprint FLG. This expansion allows us to diversify and strengthen our position in the rock and metal landscape, while continuing to uphold the values that have guided us since the beginning. While Frontiers Music Srl remains home to melodic rock, hard rock, and metal artists, FLG will be dedicated to pushing the boundaries of rock and alternative music. This bold step marks our continued evolution as a leader in the rock and metal genres, and it is with immense pride that we welcome rock icons Skunk Anansie to the FLG family as the first signing to our new imprint. The signing of Skunk Anansie is a meaningful moment in the history of Frontiers, an important landmark in our development as one of the leading international rock and metal labels. This is only the beginning! We are excited to bring more news and announcements in the coming months as we continue to grow and expand Frontiers Label Group, our imprints and our roster of incredible artists. Thank you for your continued support as we embark on this exciting new journey together! Long Live Rock n’ Roll!! Serafino
    • New song 'The End Of Time'.    
    • New video for 'Without You'.    
    • Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think. 
    • H.E.A.T - 1000 Miles Vega - Hands In The Air The Defiants - Stay Issa - River of Love I'm at work right now so that's all I know off the top of my head but I'll look through my library for more when I get a chance.
    • Maybe anything by the Darkness
    • Wig wam - hard to be a rock n roller
    • Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary. First single and video:
