The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Begginning, Part 2, and part 3

The next three blogs I will write will be about Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and Parts 2 & 3. I think I might just write one really long blog about them. This is the next set of movies that will make its appearance. I might even discuss the whole TCM franchise so to speak and tell you what I think about it.
Even though this is not a major group of horror movies like Halloween or Friday the 13th it is a great set of movies with the exception of the remake; just remember I'll get in to that in the next blog. So that is what is going to happen for you my very few readers that I d have.
So coming up shortly The Texas Chainsaw Massacre blog.

Stand By Me/Shaun of the Dead Blog

Yes, yes, I know. It's been two weeks since my last post about a movie. Sorry, I've just been very busy with trying to get ready for school. So I am going to do a two for one sale. You the readers of my blog, if there are any readers, get the Stand By Me/Shaun of the Dead entry today. Yes, yes, I know, that is a very odd combination to put together in a blog, but that is a choice that I chose to make. OK, I am going to start off this blog talking about Stand By Me.
Stand By Me was the movie based in Stephen King's novel of the same name. The movie was directed by Rob Riener (who you all may know as Michael Stivic aka "Meathead" from All in the Family). This movie was released in 1986, when I was a young lad of four years old. This movie takes place in the fictious city of Castle Rock, Oregon. The main characters in the movie are: Gordie Lachance (Wil Wheaton), Teddy Duchamp (Corey Feldman), Chris Chambers (River Phenoix), and Vern Tessio (Jerry O'Connell). During the movie we hear a voice-over from the character known as "The Writer," played by Richard Dryfuss (who is the grown-up Gordy), to help us tell the story.
The story start by us hearing in a voice-over that says "I was twelve going on thirteen the first time I saw a dead body." A few minutes late we see Gordy, Teddy and Chris in the tree house that they always hung out in. As they are playing cards, we hear someone knock on the tree house door, and the person gets told "that's not the secret knock!" Then we hear in response: "I forget the secret knock!" Then the other kids look at each other and say "VERN!"
Soon after entering the tree house Vern (O'Connell) asks the guys "hey you guys wanna see a dead body?" But before Vern can even get that out the other guys keep singing "I ran all the way home!" So he tells them that he heard his brother Billy and Charlie Hogan talking about the dead kid Ray Brower who got hit by a train on the back Harlow Roads. So they can go find the dead body of Ray Brower, Teddy, Vern, Chris, and Gordie come up with a plan so they don't get in trouble.
They set out to find the body, but what they don't know is that Billy Tessio, Vern's borther, and Charlie Hogan, had told the rest of their friends Ace (Kiefer Sutherland), and Eyeball Chambers (Chris' brother) about the body. Then they tell everyone. So by the end of the movie there is a stand-off for the body, but neither group takes it and they make an anonomuys phone call saying the body. So on a scale of 1-10 I give this movie a 9 1/2.
Now ladies and gerbils on to the Shaun of the Dead Blog. That's right I said Shaun of the Dead. It was the movie written by Simon Pegg, amd Edgar Wright. It takes place in England. It is a horror, comedy, love story rolled in to one movie. Shaun of the Dead came out in 2002. This is a very funny movie.
The main characters in the movie are Shaun, Ed, Liz, David, Mum, and Philip. Their jobs are to stay alive while the Zombie attack is going on around them in London. The thing you have to remember is if you get bitten you turn in to a zombie, and to kill a zombie, you must destroy the head and brain.
Through out the movie you hear repeated lines that get you to laugh. Som of those lines are: "You've got some red on you," and "Big Al says that dogs can't look up!," and "Who the hell put this on? It's on Random!"on a scale of 1-10 I give this an 8 8/9 stars

More on Now You Know

Now You Know was a very interesting movie movie written, directed, and produced by Jeff Anderson (Randall of Clerks I and Clerks II fame). This story is about a guy named Jeremy, played by Jeremy Sisto, who is about to get married to a girl named Kerri, played by Rashida Jones. We soon find out that their wedding is called off. The reason why, nobody knows; which is what we find out at the end of the movie. Yeah, like I'm going to tell you what that is. In the process this movie is really two stories in one. The first story is about Jeremy and Kerri, and the second story is about them and their friends, Marty (Heather Page Kent), Gil (Anderson), and Biscuit (Trevor Fehrman).
Marty is Kerri's best friend, whom we find out is pregnant, with Gil's child. This comes into play in the movie, but I am not telling you where.
Gil and Biscuit, are Jeremy's two best friends. Of course, they are the slackers of the binch. They "own" and "run" a laen-mowing business. Ninty-nine percent of the time they are drunk before noon. This is one thing that makes GIl and Biscuit work!
All in all, this was a very good movie. The writing and directing were very well done. Jeff Anderson did a very good job, considering it was his first directing job. On a scale of 1-10, I give this movie a 8. To some up this movie in the words of Jeff Anderson, "this movie is 'bisexual,' there is something for the guy, and something for the girls!" I just have to say after reading this you'll be "beating off guys with a hammer" to see it.

Now You Know

Pretty soon, meaning in the next day or two, I will be posting my blog review about the Jeff Anderson (Randall of Clerks and Clerks II fame) movie Now You Know. I will give the review of what I thought, the characters, the dialouge, and anything that has to deal with this movie. This is hopefully going to be a good movie, coming from the man who is trying to shed the "Randall" image. Again the post will be up in a couple of days. Ihope you will enjoy the blog as much as I will enjoy this movie

Man on the Moon part 2

Man on the Moon, the bio-pic about the life of Andy Kaufman, was an awesome movie. This told how Andy Kaufman did things in his life. It is an interesting movie, for any one who is a fan of Jim Carrey, or Andy Kaufman. I am not giving anything away, but it was a good movie 8 out of 10

Man on the Moon

The next movie that I will put a review up for is the Jim Carrey movie Man on the Moon. For those of you who don't know this is the bio-pic about Andy Kaufman. This review will be up shortly

Saw III

For those of you who are saw fans, I just wanted to let you know that Saw III comes out on DVD in the middle to end of January!

1st blog post of 2007

One Dvd that I am going to give you a review of is the Brian Pillman Loose Cannon DVD. This talked about the life and times of former pro-wrestler "Fyin'" Brian Pillman. I am putting up the review of this, because I found it to be very interesting on how his life turned out from the times. One thing that I found interesting, which is also kind of sad, is that Pillman had to have 36 different throat opperations as a child. He was one of the greatest lightheavyweight wrestlers around of all time. Pillman revolutionized things like top rope manuevers, hurricanrannas, and all that other good stuff.

Vulgar

Vulgar is the is the directoring debut of View Askew member Bryan "Big" Johnson. The star of this movie is Brian C. O'Halloran (Dante of Clerks Fame), Ethan Suplee, and Brian "Big" Johnson. It is a movie about this one man named Will Carlson, who does kiddie birthday parties, known as Flappy. After seeing an article in the newspaper, Will or "Flappy," whichever you choose, decides to become the joke entertainment at bacholer parties. The deal is that is when he becomes Vulgar the clown, he would dress in womens clothing. Will gets a call about a party which is taking place in an apartment (which is apart 37), and gets raped, and pistol whipped by the mad Ed and his two sons. Will tells his friend Syd (played by "Big"), what had happened. At first they don't do anything. A year later Will gets his own TV show, Flappy's Fun House. Then, one night he gets a phone call, and it's Ed who is trying to blackmail him. For those of you who haven't seen it, I am going to leave it there. so, out of ten stars this 8 1/2.

Cars Blog 2

Cars one of the newest movies created by the employees of Disney and Pixar was a great movie. I found it to be very enjoyable. It was a great movie that teaches us a lesson. It teaches us that everyone makes mistakes and gets into trouble but we will always find a way out. It also teaches me that friends are going to be there for us, even the new ones we meet along the way. Out of 10 stars it gets an 8!

Cars

The movie I am currently watching is the Disney/Pixar collaberation Cars. Right now this movie is very interesting. Instead of using people to tell the story, cars are used. Right now to me it comes across as the "I'm the best" type story. Cars is very well done, when I finish the post I'll let you know what I thought of the full movie.

Serpico blog 2

Just finished watching the movie Serpico the other day. I just have to saythat it was a very interesting movie Starring Al Pacino as Frank Serpico. This movie was based on a true story. It was a story about how one cop named Frank Serpicowho fought to end corruption in the NYPD. It didn't make Frank a lot of fans, but he did it any way.
Even though things didn't work out for Frank Serpico, he did what he could to bring to the attention of the public. I won't tell you the ending of the story, but just to let you know this is a very interesting story. One thing that I will tell you is that the Real Frank Serpico had moved to Europe.

Serpico

The next movie I will put up a review for is Serpico, starring Al Pacino. Here is the background on the movie. This movie is the true story, based on former New York police officer Frank Serpico. The movie tells us about how Frank Serpico tried to clean up the corruptness of the police department that he worked in. After I finish watching the movie I will give you a review on what I thought of it.

The Matrix

The Matrix is a movie that I can not seriously like.The reason why I do not like it is because it is too hyped up with special effect. Also, how can I take Laurence Fishburn seriously? The reason why I can't is because of his past role of Cowboy Curtis on Pee-wee's playhouse

Saw III

Tonight was the opening of Saw 3. I believe this one of the best movies of 2006. Saw 3 was filled with major excitement. It had way more twists and turns than the Saw and Saw 2 put together. It was pure excitement from start to finish. One word and one word only can describe this movie AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! This movie made me leave the Miday with a smile on my face. On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 10

Saw III

Tomorrow, if I am lucky enough, I am going to see Saw 3. I hope that it will be a good movie considering the first two were awesome. I am very anxious to see this movie. It was one of the two movies that I was waiting to see this year (see Clerks 2 blogs). It will be a good movie and you will get my reviews

New blog

Hey I am just wanted to post and say that I tried to see the Texas Chainsaw Massacer movie. When I went yesterday, it was sold out so I guess I'll wait till next week to see it

The untold Story of Stewie Griffen

This is one of the greatest movies ever made. Why? Which is probably what you asked yourself. Because it has to deal with Family Guy. This is one of those mpvoes that is controversial, but it is funny as all hell!!! Everyone should see this movie. It's great!!!!!!!!!

Jurasic Park

Today for one of my film class at school we wound up watching Jurassic Park which was directed by Steven Speilberg. I just wanted to say that it was about 12 or 13 years after I had origanally seen it, but it was very boring. I mean yeah it was good when I was 12. Other than that it was a complete and total snooze fest. Jurassic Park was just as good as a root canal. So that is what I have to say about that. Oh yeah I enjoyed E.T. more

Star Wars (original theatrical Release)

Today for my film class that I had at school, I saw the original Theatrical release of the George Lucas film Star Wars. Let me tell you this guys, its way different from what we see today on the re-releases. It was very interesting to see how different everything looked. I mean the first thing there was no Jabba the Hutt. It was a person who was there and he was digitally replaced. Thats what made it interesting; that and many of the other changes. If you can find it, try and see it!!!!!!!!!!!
