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 love that film. So funny, and heart warming, too.

Yep, there's a sequel ("Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman")... which is on deck for tonight :rofl2:

 

I know, I know... I has a sickness.

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.

    • There are few good eggs at Golden Robot. When I had bitch on their Facebook page about the new, then, Gilby Clarke album. I got a private message from them asking for my address and t shirt. Sure, enough in one week in my letter box was the new Gilby and tee promoting the company. And there no money exchange.   Message them recently about the new CD, the woman asked all my details message me back. They still waiting getting approval from the Riley estate.
    • PoL is my favorite Jettblack song, absolutely love it!
    • I spoke to Wildstreet singer Jayk in e-mail and he said Golden Robot was being azz's with havin' CD's ready to go I'll leave it at that, but more was said.
    • Dark Endless - Marduk  
    • Seems the owner of Golden robot Mark Alexander-Erber,  has quite a dodgy history including fire arms charges, a failed hotel chain and several other failed companies plus a tattoo shop with a notorious drug kingpin as his partner, which was controversial due to the paper work being botched as the shop should never have been given planning permission. Sounds like another company of his is going under.
    • Behind The Mirror - Kreator   
    • Looks like there is a huge drama around the new Rileys LA Guns album, The Dark Horse. Apparently Golden Robot records was supposed to ship CDs and vinyl in April but they have gone dark. This was posted on the Rileys LA Guns FB page today: What’s up everybody? I wanted to give you all an update on the Vinyl & CD for THE DARK HORSE since they were supposed to be shipping mid April. But April has come and gone with no answers from GOLDEN ROBOT RECORDS, so I can’t. We have no idea what is happening with it. We don’t know if it’s been made, being made or never coming because Golden Robot Records won’t tell us. They won’t answer my emails so we are all left in limbo. I re-did the art 3 times to fit their changing templates. So the art was done over a year ago. Believe me that was a lot of work and we (the Band) were also looking forward to seeing the finished product. But like I said, as of now we don’t know. I will try to keep you all posted if I hear anything. Very disheartening
