I also have always liked the monster within idea. I like the zombies being us. Zombies are the blue-collar monsters.

Drive Thru

I can only assume that this was actually intended to be a satire on teen slasher movies because I just can't believe this was ever intended to be taken seriously. It had a murderous reject from Gwar called "Horny the Clown," now tell me if that doesn't sound like some sort of bull shit name for a crazed villain on a murderous spree if this is not a farce of a movie. I do however feel that this was not primarily intended to create laughter, it did, but I don't think it was supposed to if you know what I'm saying..


PLOT I am pretty sure there was a well defined, if contrived plot. A famous burger chain called "Hella Burger" has a mascot in one very randy Horny the Clown. Well, we meet Horny when he takes out some cornrowed, thug, ebonic speaking white kid who was annoying me anyway. With his over the top cross between an evil clown and KISS reject costume, I realize that I would rather watch 90 minutes of the ghetto white boy than deal with him. But as you may be aware of, I love cinematic punishment and so I plowed on.

After this douche bag was put to rest we are introduced to some ear bleeding "rock" played by that bitch from some WB show but I don't know which one, and her "band" and a lot of air quotes on my behalf. They are apparently throwing a kick ass party where the only guests were a couple who weren't even invited and then the cops break it up. Um, I thought you had to have at least... you know, other people to create a party deserving of the cops but I think the budget was too low for extras. After the great party break up, the "band" gathers around a Ouija board that spells out the license plate number of G.W.B (that's Ghetto White Boy in case you weren't following.) And the next morning the girl from some WB show that I still can't think of sees the plate on the news and is all like "oh my God."

I don't really need to go into the rest of the movie as it isn't to different from the first 20 minutes. Clown guy kills kids, Chick from the WB discovers the secret her mother and her friends have been keeping as their children fall victim to the lamest fucking serial killer in a movie ever.


FINAL THOUGHT It was a heart warming movie about the human spirit, and the dangers of fast food... and it will make you laugh.

THE GOOD, the bad, the ugly


Vintage has been my new years resolution and I am sticking with it. Not only am I sticking with it, I am bloody obsessed, I feel like I have found something that was missing in my SOUL, seriously.

So when the opportunity came to throw a house party I was like, "let's do the 20's" even though I prefer the 40's but how sweet would a Prohibition shindig be right?

Oh well, go out with a bang... or crash.

Nine Dead

I probably would have gotten around to watching Nine Dead eventually even if it didn’t have Clarissa who explains it all in the starring role but it helped. What we have here is a low budget version of Saw sort of, the premise is similar and had the potential of being a good movie, it just had too many things working against it.

PLOT Random Vignettes show a masked man abducting people spliced with constructing a holding cell for the first five minutes. Holey shit! Is that a Baldwin? Wow, you know its low budget when you can’t even get one of the lesser puffy Baldwin’s to appear for more than 10 seconds in your movie. He mumbles something, gets maced, no more Baldwin. Moving on, enter the headlining star, Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I’m sure this makes her very mad and she just wants to be taken seriously as an actress but the moment you televise your wedding for money as she did… I’m sorry, but you have pretty much lost all dignity.

After the shock of seeing just how fat Daniel Baldwin is and that Melissa Joan Hart is still employable, we can now get down to moderately enjoying the movie, but not really.

We open to a cement room and find that 10 people are handcuffed to metal poles arranged in a semi-circle a few feet from each other. Each captive is revealed as the masked man removes each victim’s hood and gag and then the talking begins. Shit. Each captive demands to know why they have been taken when the masked man reveals that they must find out amongst themselves why they are there and will be given 10 minute intervals to bicker before he comes in and kills one of them. He throws them some street chalk which I instantly associate with hop scotch but they use them to write their names on the walls behind them instead. We meet a motley crew of bad actors (all but the guy who played the pedophile, he was awesome) who take a walk down Misdemeanor Lane telling the secret stories of their criminal pasts in order to find the common link between them.

As told, every 10 minutes another captive was shot which was a pleasure to see actually, a mad man holding up his end of the bargain.

FINAL THOUGHT None, the reason they were there was so stupid erased any comprehensive opinion I could have had but in the movies defense, I watched it long enough to find out.
