La Terza Madre, The Mother of Tears: Ok, I know someone else's opinion on this, but I have to admit I liked it. Dario Argento did Suspiria, did Inferno, and then years and years later came back to the idea of the Three Mothers to finish the trilogy. This one was like he revisited Suspiria, which is an AMAZING film. It wasn't Suspiria, but it was still enjoyable even if some sections like the ending were super cheesey. His daughter, Asia Argento played Sarah Mandy, the main female character similar to Suzy Bannion's character, but was not as heroic, or straight-headed. I always felt like Suzy's character stayed on top of things, was quick to figure things out and make decisions. Sarah's character panicked too much and needed to rely on others to make it through. She trusted in people when I wasn't sure she should have, which you quickly found she shouldn't have. Argento touched much more on spiritual things and witchcraft in a different way here. Sarah was driven by the history of her mother being a great witch and her automatically gaining her powers to destroy the third mother. Suzy just common-sensely wanted to kill the second mother to end all the b.s. going on around her. This review is going no where. I just liked it and I would recommend seeing it if you could get your hands on it. Any Dario Argento movie is a good time spent to me, no matter how bad it may be because even if the story isn't so incredible, it's always enjoyable to see things from Argento's perspective and with his unique style.
Demons: Yeah, I had never seen this until last weekend and it was awesome. People being drawn to an inescapable theater by some guy with half a metal mask to watch a film. A scratch to the face from a mask on display at the entrance of the theater starts the whole thing with a Tina Turner look a like in shiny metal pants turning her into a zombie demon who starts attacking and infecting others in the theater. No one can find a way out of the theater to escape the zombie demons and they start barricading themselves in to avoid contact with the demons. On the outside, 4 punks are driving around the town literally snorting coke from a Coke can with a straw. At first I thought they were really crazy and actually snorting liquid Coca-Cola until they spill powder all over the car which leads them to get caught by the police. They run away from the police and find their way into the theater after getting caught. One zombie demon escaped the theater probably to wreak havoc on the rest of the town. All I remember is a helicopter crashed into the roof of part of the theater and the only two survivors, a teenage couple escape and kill the half metal masked man who tries to stop them... as they drive away the teenage girl turns into a zombie demon. Do the zombie demons destroy the earth? There is a sequel!
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2: I couldn't even find it funny. It was just... why? Or it could be because Ryan literally watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie at least 4 times a week for months as background sound to working on Max/MSP patches and I got real sick of it. It's supposed to be hilarious, but I'm guessing that's only if you like something in particular and a bag of Doritos every night. It follows a similar formula to Texas Chainsaw Massacre except it's got a radio dj in daisy dukes who Leatherface falls in love with, sheriff "Lefty", Dennis Hopper, and Bo 'Chop Top' Sawyer who keeps scratching that nasty scabby scalp around a metal plate on his head with a metal coat hanger. Gimme Grotesque or the Sender over this any night. AHK!
The Warriors: Ching ching ching ching. Warriors, come out and play! Warriors, come out and plaaay! Warriors! Come out and playiyay! A gang called The Warriors are framed for killing a gang leader trying to unite all the gangs in the area. With other gangs gunning for them they must get back to the home turf of Coney Island... Alive. Leather vests, zombie baseball gang, I think they were running out of ideas to differentiate gang members. Wu-Tang...
Masters of Horror: Family: by John Landis. Harold is a seemingly peaceful neighbor in a quiet midwestern neighborhood, but underneath, he's completely lost it. Inside his home, Harold imagines his family members, watching tv, knitting, carrying on their daily routines, a daughter, a wife, a new found grandmother, soon a grandfather, and maybe a new teenage daughter. In reality they're the skeletons of the people he's been yanking off the street and has meticulously bathed until their all their flesh and muscles deteriorate. A husband and wife moves across the street, and Harold soon becomes fascinated with replacing his wife with a new one. But, there's a twist. |
