What to watch and not watch this weekend

Been a long time since I've posted on here, but watched a couple movies this week. Thought I would do a quick post about the two movies to let anyone reading this know which movie to rent this weekend, and which one to pass on.

First lets start on the one to pass on. Human Centipede, yes the movie is as bad as the name. The movie does prove a really valid point about film making, and that's that anyone can make a movie now days and people will watch it. Right from the start, I was very disappointed in the acting. I've seen better acting in local lawyer commercials. The story is just so ridiculous at best. The story is of two girls that stumble into a house of a "mad scientist" that plans on joining three people together. Creating a human Centipede. At one point the Doctor, tries to break through a glass window by hitting it with a riffle, he hits the window about ten or so times with no cracks or any damage that could be seen, then all the sudden it shatters. And why didn't he just shoot it, he wasn't planning on using the gun on the people since he needed them alive when joining them together. I am a horror movie fan, but I have to say this was one of the worst movies I have ever watched. I give this movie -3 out of 10

Now on to the good. Kill The Irishman, the only thing that upset me about this movie was that I hadn't heard of it before. If you like historical movies about organized crime, this is definitely the movie for you. If you're offended by foul langue and violence, you might want to skip this and pick up a Disney movie instead. Kill The Irishman is based on the true story of Danny Greene. A blue collar worker turned to the mob in Cleveland Ohio. The movie had my interest from before I even started it, with an allstar cast of Ray Stevenson, along side Val Kilmer, and Christopher Walken. I will leave the rest of the details out for those wanting to watch this movie, but I would have to give it a rating of 8 out of 10 stars.

Halloween movie reviews (sorry)

So Halloween has came and gone already, and I didn't finish my reviews of the top 5 movies to watch during the week of Halloween. So let me start by saying I'm sorry. But the reason for me not finishing the reviews is because I have been in bed sick almost the whole time, I have been able to do very little work on any of my blogs this week, but I'm starting to feel better so I am hoping to still finish out the Halloween movie reviews soon.

The Evil Dead (#4 horror movie to watch this halloween)


The Evil Dead to me is one of the best movies made. Although the general public would disagree. And lots are going to disagree with me putting this under horror movies and not cheesy movies. But I feel this movie has created such a following it deserves to be labeled as any thing but cheesy, not that theres anything wrong with cheesy. This was a movie about friends just trying to get away for a vacation to a cabin in the woods. After looking around the cabin a bit the find the book of the dead, and a tape recorder. They decide to listen to the tape, which has some of the passages on it from the book. Thus rising the dead, the teens then have to fight for their lifes. Some aren't so lucky and never make it out of the cabin.



#4 Creature from the Black Lagoon (classic horror)


Creature from the Black Lagoon comes in at #4 in the classic horror movies to watch this Halloween. This is one of the classic monster movies from the 50's. About a group of scientist that travel to the Amazon to do some research. When they get there they discover a amphibious creature. The creature also notices them, but doesn't bother with them. Until the decide to try and capture the creature. This is when the action really hits. Once the creature notices them trying to capture him he's ready to kill everyone on the boat, except the girl Juile. That he wants to kidnap as his mate. Lots of under water struggles, which was really impressive for the time that this was filmed. Only if I was able to experience this movie the way movie goers did during the 1950's.

Halloween Cheese #5 (Killer Klowns from Outer Space 1988)


The #5 cheesy movie to watch this Halloween is: Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Did you know that "In space no one can eat ice cream"? Well that's just a little something you'll learn from this educational movie. This was a low budget film about aliens coming to earth to capture and harvest humans, with the twist being that they looked and acted like klowns. There wasn't a whole lot of story to this movie, but it is highly enjoyable just be warned if you are afraid of klowns or you are lactose intolerant. Because this movie is full of klowns and cheese.

Carnival is coming to town, only this time they're coming from outer space.




Halloween Horror #5 (Nightmare On Elmstreet 1984)



The #5 Horror movie to watch this Halloween is The Nightmare on Elm Street

Here is a movie that we give even the most jaded person nightmares for years to come. And the great thing about having nightmares is that is his way of murdering you. This is diffidently a must watch movie not only for Halloween but anytime of year. It is a trill ride from the opening scene all the way to the credits. And speaking of credits, this was the introduction of Johnny Depp nineteen years before taking on the role of Capitan Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. As for the scare factor of this film, my girlfriend still has to cover her eyes throughout this movie. So if you're looking for something to give you some nightmares this is by far the best.

Enjoy. Sleep well tonight




Classic Horror #5 (The Wolf Man 1941)



The #5 Classic Horror movie to watch this Halloween is Wolf Man (1941)

Who doesn't just love The Wolf Man? He was always my favorite character from the monster movies. And who better to bring that character to life other then Lon Chaney Jr. The master of scary movies. But we also can't forget about the great job that Bela Lugosi did playing the part of Bela. It was such an emotional roller coaster of a movie, first you have Larry Talbot coming back to wales and he meets a beautiful woman that he is quick to fall in love with. Then shortly after he visits with Bela, things start taking a turn for the worse for Mr. Talbot, as his destiny is changed for ever. Pick up this movie and see what it was that ruin Mr. Talbot's life.

Enjoy this trailer that was created by a fan of The Wolf Man.
