“Your Days Are Numbered.”
Wow! The new Danny Boyle film “28 Days Later” keeps looking like it could be one of the better horror films made in the last 15 years. Get over to the official site and you can see the first six minutes of the film.
Grrrrrrr!
Grrrrrr. I really hate that 28 Days Later (a film I am now really pumped to see) will be released on video in the UK next week. Meanwhile in the states, we have to wait until June 27th for a LIMITED release of the film. All this means is that it will take forever for the movie to come anywhere near me and that I need to look into getting a dvd player that will handle Region 2 discs.
Movie Update
The talk of the town is X2 and boy does it deliver. Since they don’t have deal with all that messy exposition on the characters, the movie kicks of at high speed and keeps the story moving along at a nice pace. A fun, fun comic book films. It’s what Daredevil tried to be and failed miserably at. Also, saw the trailer to a film that really, really sparked my interest … 28 Days Later. Hopefully Danny Boyle is returning to form.
Sweetx2
Sweet. The movie Lost in La Mancha has opened in the area. Terry Gilliam is one of the greatest directors that is currently working. I just wish that he had more films out there to see. You can’t beat Brazil, 12 Monkeys and The Fisher King. We will also be getting the new Cronenberg film Spider soon too. Super sweet!
A Pick Me Up
Watching a little blood and gore last night has made me feel a little better.
Movie Update (Plus a Rant)
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and I went down to Greenville yesterday to catch Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses since it was limited released and didn’t end up in Asheville. An interesting movie to say the least. It’s definately not one of the scariest (I didn’t find it to be scary at all) horror films, but I think it’s a fantastic homage flick. There must be a reference to about every single great horror movie ever made. Nice visuals, creepy characters and a Rob Zombie score all added up to a fun little film. Whoo for Captain Spauling’s Murder Ride!!!
The biggest scare of the evening was getting lost in Greenville (even with a map). Argh!!! Road names that start and end for no real reason … roads that stop and then move a few blocks over and start again … intersections that look nothing like they are on the map. All I can say is: Greenville, fire your city planners and get some new ones. Or, at least sign your damn roads better. Yeesh.
This Sucks!
I am bummed. The rumor on the net is that Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses will be a limited release on April 11th … meaning that it will be months (if ever) before it gets to the mountains of North Carolina. That just sucks!
Horror Party Wrap-Up
Saturday night’s horror movie fest turned out to be a lot of fun. Michelle, Michael, and Nicole were totally terrorized by the films shown (The Blair Witch Project, Night of the Living Dead, The Ring). At one point, you could have peeled all three of them off the ceiling. It was sweet. Michelle was so freaked out that she spent the night at my place instead of going home by herself. Heh, heh. Next time, we will have to watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead, and The Fog. Yeah!
Whoot!
Horror movie talk makes me realize that we are now oh-so-much closer to Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses. April 11th, baby!
