It was kinda meh. Samantha dies 2 times mid-tangent-universe and the first time the slutty chick sacrifices herself and the second time a nerd kills her. The best scene was when the nerd head butted the town drunk so hard he got knocked out.

Blood and Bone: Decent action/ martial arts movie with Michael Jai White. Cliched story, its pretty much an updated version of A.W.O.L (Van Damme) and there isnt a whole lot of plot. With the exception of Eamonn Walker, who is always entertaining, the characters are fairly one dimensional. That said, its very easy to watch, the fight scenes are good and the story doesnt drag its heels. Worth a watch.

Frostbiten: Swedish vampire flick. Billed as a horror/ comedy I thought it might be good for a few laughs. Was light on comedy and the story just plodded along. Quickly lost interest and even a couple of scenes with talking dogs werent enough to save it.

Bill the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire: Absurd musical starring Phil Daniels (Quadrophinia). Rock opera about a snooker match between Billy the Kid (cheeky cockney, Phil Daniels) and The Green Baize Vampire (its not just a name, he really is a vampire). Directed by Alan Clarke, it has to be seen to be believed.

...continuing the series.

I agree that the sequel is slightly superior to the original in terms of effects and budget, at least. And there's that fantastic police station assault sequence which would put bigger budget actioners to shame. Very entertaining, over-the-top, and complimented by some notable appearances by Charles Napier, Michael Lerner and a very young Danny Trejo.

And I must admit - Laurene Landon has superb lips! ;)

i watched a lot of movies this weekend

i watch
the woman in black, i went to the theater for my bday, my dad took me, and at first he wanted to choose the movie, i stood up for myself cause he always chooses, and it was my bday after all. he doesnt like horror movies.. i would of probably chosen to see the phantom menace in 3d but with me only having sight in one eye that was out of the question. i choose the woman in black.


now although it wasn't that scary, it had a lot of cheap scares. i thought it was a pretty decent movie. my dad he hated it... lol

i also watched last night

the girl next door


omg this is an insane movie, i have the book and it's just as bad. and being based on true events too! i looked up what really had happen and the real woman looks like a real witch. my moms a horror freak too so she watched it with me, she was covering her eyes during some scenes. i didn't but was still shocked about what happen. sad story though.

i also watched

the ward



another movie my mom and i watched, i was kind of confused throughout this movie, and couldn't piece it together. the ending through me for a loop. i actually wasn't expecting it.

mom and i watched one more movie was the a&e mini series bag of bones. i didn't get to see it in its original air so we found it on instant netflix



i love stephen kings books, and the adaptaions his books get made into. i think they generally do a good job. i hadn't read bag of bones yet, but watched this and was shocked and a bit saddened. i think this shows part of kings softer more drama side which i like. id say the one that's scared me the most is IT. lol

i think that about cover's it for this weekend of movies. i've been watching a lot of investigation discovery lately where the real horror is. :)

The Ghostly Galleon (1974)This is actually the third Blind Dead Film (Tombs Of The Blind Dead, Return Of The Evil Dead and fourth still to watch-Night Of The Seagulls) and was a HUGE improvement on Return Of The Evil Dead which was just about having a high body count and seemed to copy scenes from the first movie of the Blind Dead. Excellently creepy and gothicly atmospheric with long drawn-out scenes that truly heighten the horror all around. There may be some plot holes but this is of the standard of the first film with again some breathtakingly gothic scenes of the Blind Dead in this scenario and the ending bodes very well for the next film very excited to see that at some point soon.

The House Of Whipcord (1975) Excellent UK horror directed by Pete Walker (Frightmare, House Of The Long Shadows, Schizo). I was surprised at how effective this was and quite believable of the time it represents. There was no campness here instead it was tough, harsh and gritty-looking forward to The Flesh and Blood Show next.
