Throwback TV Show; Six Feet Under

Last night, around 5:00, as I realized I was quite literally the only one in the house [except for maybe the cats] because the grandparents were at their monthly "Supper Club", My sister was at her friend's, and Steph was at work until closing [which meant 9:30ish]. So I decided to go back and watch an episode or two of what I consider my favorite television show of all time: Six Feet Under. For those that haven't heard of the show, it isn't exactly for the faint of heart- although it's not gory, or remotely scary.. just [for lack of a better term] accurate. It's a drama series from HBO that takes a darkly comical look at members of a dysfunctional family that runs an independent funeral home. The series begins with the oldest son returning home for the holidays to shattering news, the family must learn to deal with a death of their own, while figuring out how to go ahead with the business of the living. So basically, a funny [and emotional] look at a grieving American family...that just happens to be in the grief management business. I first watched this show back when it was on in 2001; and wasn't the biggest fan- until I continued watching as I laughed, cried, and pushed through life with The Fishers [the main family] I decided to pick up where I left off [naturally], which was a few episodes off from finishing off season 3. I forgot how much I actually fell in love with this show- the characters are fantastic, the story-telling is beautiful, and the directing is superb.

———————————————————————————–

 

One episode in particular that I watched; "Death Works Overtime" was one of the saddest things I've ever watched [except for the famous series finale; "Everyone's Waiting"] to the point where I actually cried along as the viewer watches Nate [as seen in the middle of the picture above] breakdown with tears streaming down his face.. Steph even asked what was wrong when she called my cell. I couldn't get over how upset I felt. Never [until this show] have I ever cried, due to a show- I just couldn't hold it back.. and this is what I mean; when a show can affect you to such an extreme, it's then you know you have a fantastic show. I do intend to go and finish Season 3, primarily because I love this show, I need to finish up to thge series end- Season5, and also because it ended on a cliffhanger [I still have 2 episodes to go and then on to Season4!]. If I haven't said it already [and I'm pretty sure I have before] this is one of the best shows that has ever been on TV, and I am so glad I found it.. It made me realize that life is important, and that one of the best shows; deals with death.. One last thing I'll leave you with [in case you didn't notice/know already]; that is Michael C. Hall you're seeing in the picture above- he actually plays the younger brother; David. [as seen below]

[I loved him before he was in Dexter]

Underrated Movie Review: Broken [2006]

Earlier last week, my uncle had let me borrow a movie by the name of "Broken", and I didn't know what to think of it [I had never heard of it] or what to make of the review by Slasherpool.com on the cover saying "Broken makes SAW look like a children's film". I decided to watch it yesterday, because I had the whole day to myself- and I didn't work until 7 last night.

[actual screenshot from the film]

———————————————————————————–

Before I begin the actual review, be aware that this movie is based on true events. Also, it had about a million dollars as their budget- and you can tell while watching the film that it's low budget- interesting- but you can certainly tell they had a fairly low budget. [now for my actual thoughts- SPOILERS] I feel very on the fence about this movie because it seemed to keep me busy, but I often got distracted away from the film, as I felt it moved too slow.. also, there is only really 3 characters in the entire film, and it's all shot [for the most part] in one remote forest area in the middle of fucking no where. It starts off with a woman named Hope going on a date with some nice gentleman and by the end of the date, she's headed home to make sure her daughter is safe and asleep and then the screen goes black [I assume that's to mean that Hope went to bed too?] As soon as the screen brightens up again, Hope is found tied to a tree [by her neck with a rope] with a pain in her stomach. She takes what feels like an eternity to lift her shirt ever so slightly just to see what's causing the pain and it turns out she has stitches? [as seen on the DVD cover] Suddenly, a man with a cowboy hat and an accent that sounds like Shooter from Secret Window appears and tells her if she wants to live, she'll cut the stitches off with a pocket knife he lets her use.. Eventually she does, and she digs around the wound [the gore was well enough done for a low budget film] and finds a razor blade. She uses this tiny little razor blade to cut the rope around her neck to release herself, and "The Man" [he's even known as this in the credits.] asks her if she'll continue his game, to which she agrees.

———————————————————————————–

That's as far as I'm going to go story-wise, because I had trouble following it [not to mention I felt bored through-out so I would leave for a bit while it played in the room], so perhaps I have to re-watch it.. The one thing that did stand out though was the fact that I felt that Hope wasn't the smartest of victims, at one point, she even tries to get the same pocket knife that "The Man" used earlier with a stick to try and cut through thick chains that were around her neck. [as seen below]

 

This is how she wakes up after the screen goes black- she wakes up in a box.. typical.

———————————————————————————–

Needless to say, the concept of the film was pretty insane, and since it's based on actual events, I feel that makes it even scarier. One thing that is important to be aware of before watching this film though; if you go into hoping that it "makes SAW look like a children's movie", you're going to be very disappointed.. because it really wasn't as intense as they made it sound.. there were scenes that would have made me cringe a little bit, but because of their low budget, it just looked kind of lame, and therefore made the movie itself a little boring. I'll give "The Man" credit though, for an actor I've never seen before, he was pretty damn convincing.. I kind of hope [see what I did there?] to see him in more movies cause he did well as a kidnapping, sadistic man.

[Spoiler Alert; this is AFTER her tongue is cut out..]

———————————————————————————–

If you happen to end up seeing this movie [or you already have], let me know what you think. Is it actually a masterpiece that I ended up feeling was kind of bland? Or is it really as boring as I felt while watching it?

MOVIE REVIEW; EVIL DEAD [2013]

Being a fan of the original, I was deeply concerned with how this film was going to turn out, because I knew that it was a remake, and I figured "why mess with something that's already really good?" But after seeing interviews with Bruce Campbell [who actually was helping make this film and said he was proud of the finished product], and seeing the trailers for this film- I decided I may as well see it, considering it's EvilDead, and it's actually starting to look really good.. Now, below I will share my thoughts on the film- Be aware, there is going to be spoilers, and like the blood content of the film, there's going to be a lot of it.

———————————————————————————–

First off, be aware that this is both a remake and a "secret sequel" [Director Fede Alvaraz claimed that this film, it's sequel, and the original EvilDead films will all merge in "Evil Dead 7"] and holy fuck does it do good. Everything about the film felt like what the originals should have been. [as said by Bruce Campbell] Remember all the cheesiness of the originals? Take that away, and you've got this version- there's almost no comedy involved, it's not a happy film, and there's blood.. loads of it!

The story is different than the original as well, but it seemed almost fitting [Rather than 4 friends going to a cabin for the weekend- which was the original; it's now 4 friends, two of which are siblings, go to their old family cabin to help one friend get over her Heroin addiction- story of the remake.] There was also a small backstory at the beginning of the film, which kind of explains the "first time" someone becomes a demon, [I should also mention that they're called "demons" now instead of "deadites"] but it make the mood more interesting. There was also a few scenes that are kind of throw backs to the originals as well- including chopping your whole damned arm off [as opposed to when Ash cut just his hand off in the original], the necklace Ash gives Linda in the first Evil Dead, and of course- the infamous tree rape sequence [below]

 

notice how much more disgusting and terrifying it looks now, compared to before?

———————————————————————————–

The gore was brilliantly done, there was some crazy scenes where one of the friends [as a deadite.. sorry, I mean 'demon'] actually goes so far as to cut her face until she looks like some fucked up version of the Joker from Batman, except worse! [GIF below]

If that's not enough for you, at one part one of the Possessed Demons [deadite] actually goes so far as to take a box cutter, and cut her tongue down the centre, and we see it all! [as seen below]

———————————————————————————–

The one thing that does need to stop however is the fact [not just this movie, although it's guilty of it as well] that I'm getting tired of demons that suddenly swear like crazy. Don't get me wrong, it's fine to swear once in a while, but if the character who's possessed doesn't swear before being possessed; why the hell after? It's just a small pet peeve of mine.

So I gotta say, it's one hell of a film, it's a brutal take on a classic, and even though I don't say it often- I actually enjoyed this remake. It's everything the originals should have been- unless like me, you like the cheesiness factor.. The last thing I'm going to leave you with is that if you are going to see it, or even if you have already- stay until after all the credits- because [MAJOR spoiler alert] even though it's only for 5 seconds, Bruce Campbell does show up- he looks at the camera, and says "groovy!" which in my opinion, makes the film complete.. If you're a fan of the originals, or even if you just want a bloody good time, I fully recommend this flick- cause holy fuck.. they did good.

SHUT UP & TAKE MY MONEY! [Reasons I NEED to get a Blu-Ray Player.]

Maybe it's just me, but lately I've caught myself noticing that DVDs are [slowly, but surely] becoming obsolete.. To make matters worse, the companies that make the awesome Blu-Ray boxsets know this, and make fucking awesome looking sets, to make you want their beautiful sets over the plain black and plastic DVD case. Below, I'm going to mention just a few of the boxsets that I think are going to be reason for me to get a Blu-Ray Player; you win this time, Hollywood.. this time.

———————————————————————————–

• Assuming you can't see the fantastic boxset above; this is Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase One: Avengers Assembled. All this for $150 [which comes with all six Marvel Studios movies, on Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D in a suitcase replica with a glowing Tesseract- goddamn] this crazy set is finally coming out just in time to pump you up for Iron Man 3...and [apparently] some surprise glimpses of future projects are also rumored to contained inside. I gotta say, this looks quite perfect, and if I had a blu-ray player; it'd probably be number one on my "new DVDs to buy list". [after season 7 of 'Dexter' of course]

———————————————————————————–

• This set here is none other than the Universal Classic Monsters: Essentials Collection. This 8 disc blue-ray boxset follows the era of  the older horror movies. This collection [and man do they ever mean 'collection'] hass 8 of the most iconic monsters in film history which includes Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy,  The Bride of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, The Wolf Man, Phantom Of The Opera and Creature From The Black Lagoon. As if that wasn't enough to keep you satisfied; the movies each come with over 12 hours of revealing bonus features- and to top it all off, there is also an exclusive collectible book which is only available through buying this boxset!

———————————————————————————–



• This is probably the one which caught my attention the most; this Limited Edition Blu-Ray boxset of Season 3 of The Walking Dead is probably the coolest looking thing I'm going to mention here. There is literally no words that describe how fucking crazy it is to know that this is actually holds the discs to season 3.. I guess this means I should probably catch up on the show, right?

———————————————————————————–

• Although this has technically already been out for some time now, I figure that it's worth mentioning.. The boxset above, is for The Amazing Spider-Man and although it isn't as awesome looking as The Walking Dead one- it's still pretty sick. It comes with the film in a limited edition steelbook cover [the movie comes in both in 3D and 2D], a disc with special features, a [small but still nice looking] figurine, and the comic book the film is based on. Although I enjoyed Tobey McGuire's Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield ultimately was the Spider-Man I've been looking for since I was a kid [as someone who reads the comics]

———————————————————————————–



 So I guess as you can see, I most definitely have to get a Blu-Ray Player, because these boxsets are really really nice looking. [if I may refer back to The Walking Dead Season 3 set] I guess we'll have to wait and see.. Also, to go off topic for a second, I figure I should share that I [hopefully] am going to go see the new Evil Dead film sometime very soon. Due to working at a theater, I can check ahead of time how many tickets are sold, and last I checked [being Monday]- there was only 15 seats sold. So if this falls into place; expect a review to come up on that shortly!

Movie Review; Sinister [2012]

I've seen a few new-ish horror films lately ['Paranormal Activity 3' & 'The Woman In Black' were the more recent ones] and found myself a little concerned for the world of horror [I did enjoy 'The Woman In Black' though].. However, when I got Sinister for my birthday, and saw that it was from the producers of PA; naturally I groaned a little.. However, earlier this week, Steph and I decided that we may as well watch the film- considering its a horror, and I did intend on seeing it. [Be warned before you go ahead and read any further; there IS going to be spoilers]

———————————————————————————–

AND holy fuck is it one hell of a film! The atmosphere, the camera work, the story.. Even the slight twist by the end was unexpected.The one thing that I felt was kind of intense was [Spoiler Alert-] the fact it wasn't just Mr.Boogie that was killing people- it was the damn kids! The fact that it was these kids killing not only their siblings, but even going so far as killing their parents is just fucking warped! [don't get me wrong, it is a new and refreshing take on horror, which impressed me most] The other thing that was nicely done was the acting: it didn't feel overplayed, and it was believable- which I'm starting to feel is rare in most films now-a-days. I really recommend this film to horror fans who haven't seen it yet, cause it was fucking amazing. Thanks Sinister, for both a refreshingly new horror, and for making my hand purple [Steph was clenching my hand for a good while during most scenes]

[Quite literally, this is the first scene in the film- except in color..]

[& here is the very last scene- just before the credits..]

Delayed Post; 21st Birthday . [March23rd]

As you may or may not have known, my 21st birthday recently past, and in the post before this one, I said I'd keep you guys updated on how it went- However, the birthday was exactly a week ago, and I had not posted anything yet [curse you final projects]. So, I'm going to quite literally tell you all about what happened.. and with pictures!

———————————————————————————–

Are you a fan of Adventure Time? I sure as hell am, and Steph knows it! [she's a fan too, so obviously we have ourselves one hell of an awesome relationship!]

If you've seen the episode where Jake makes Bacon Pancakes, then you might know where I'm headed with this.. meaning, yes; believe it or not, Stephanie actually went ahead & tried to make me bacon pancakes! [as seen below]

Okay, so they don't exactly look like the cartoon- but they were still fucking delicious.

———————————————————————————–

From there, we took the main part of the day which involved going Glow-In-The-Dark Mini Putting! I had been to this place a long time ago [at least, if memory serves correctly], but it didn't stop us from having fun!

[writer's note; forgive my terrible Blackberry camera- I realize it isn't great quality]

———————————————————————————–

We didn't play for points, or even that seriously for that matter.. [in fact, at one point we actually threw the golf balls, trying to get them in-which obviously didn't go as well as it sounds.] 

I also got this great picture of Steph- which I actually am quite proud of.  One thing, I should mention is we paid for unlimited rounds of golf, yet only played one- this is due to the fact that we spent easily 3 hours in the arcade. Therefore, we got a lot of tickets, which are able to be traded for small prizes. [as seen below]

———————————————————————————–

[and just think- thats all the tickets we collected from the games- all 1125 of them.

———————————————————————————–

After the endless gaming, we went to 'Bai-du', which is an all you can eat Sushi place here in Ottawa, and it was most tasty! We then proceeded to head home [we left early that morning, around 11am, and got home at around 6:30-7:00] Which is were we had cake, and I opened gifts-

When I went to open the gifts, I realized I didn't have one from Steph, it turned out the reason why was because she ordered my gift online- and it just didn't arrive yet. If you can imagine a new iPod Touch in there, those were the gifts I opened the day of my birthday [As a horror geek, I figured they were perfect!] The only one of the 4 films I had not seen yet was 'Sinister' [although, Steph &I finally watched it yesterday- going to do a review on it tomorrow night- stay posted!]

Now as I said, I had to wait for Stephanie's gift, and it finally came in, I figured a picture would be better at explaining it, so take a look below!

For those who are "Evil Dead" [or in this case, technically it's "Army Of Darkness"] fans, you'll recognize the quote on the shirt- That's right! She got me a "Shop SMART, Shop, S-MART" shirt! To make an awesome gift, more awesome- she also got me a SRIRACHA cookbook- cause she knows it's one of my personal favorite hotsauces! well worth the wait.

———————————————————————————–

So there it is, what I did on my birthday, I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing about it. Lastly, I would just like to thank everyone who was involved with the day [even if you only sent me a "happy birthday" through text or Facebook]. It means a lot to be able to call you guys friends/family. I appreciate each and every one of you- even if I don't say it out loud enough. I love you guys..

[remember the 'prizes' I told you we could trade the tickets in for, at the arcade? well- one thing I got were these fucking awesome glasses.. just cause I could- cause I'm a 'mature adult' now.]

Life is changing- a personal post.

If you couldn't tell by the title, I'm feeling a little off-base, due to the fact that I feel like my life is changing [this is not a bad thing, but in fact a good thing]. Within the coming months following toward next September, a lot of things I'm used to are going to be changing. Before I begin, however- be aware that this is a personal post- but don't worry, the horror/geek stuff will be back in the next posts.. I promise, I just want to get this off my mind..

———————————————————————————–

 

Number 1; Stephanie & I are finding a [first] place together-

Yep. This is as really as it's gonna get. We've been talking about it ever since we first moved in with my grandparents [here in Ottawa], but now it actually seems to be happening. We've looked at 2 places [and unfortunately got denied one of those places..] but I called a place yesterday that we had seen before [my Aunt used to live in the building] and they're real nice. =)

———————————————————————————–

Number 2; I've been accepted!-

If you read what I post on a regular basis, or just read along as I'm going- you would remember that on February 26th, I mentioned that I had gone for an interview to do with working with Victim Services of Ottawa. [in fact, I'm pretty sure that I used the exact same picture above]  I was getting worried, since it had been about 3-4 weeks since the interview, and I hadn't heard anything back. [one thing that was mentioned in the interview was they were interviewing 70 people, & only accepting 30] Thankfully, I check my emails all the time, [mostly out of paranoia] and realized I had a new email  entitled "You've Been Accepted!" I can hereby say, I've finished all the online training, and I start the actual training [in person] on April 13th.. and I'm excited!

———————————————————————————–

Number 3; My birthday is tomorrow?-

It's true. Tomorrow is the day I turn 21, and I don't have any idea, how to feel about that. I often describe my birthday as a day that I know is coming, but I'm not ready for it.. Whenever someone at work, school, or wherever asks how I feel to be turning 21, I quite literally reply with 'it's weird..' But I'm actually kind of excited for tomorrow- I got work off, and Stephanie and I are planning on going glow in the dark mini putting [I'm what you'd call mature haha]. I'll be sure to post pictures of the entire day, and let you guys know what happened.

———————————————————————————–

I'd just like to end this post by thanking you guys- the readers- for reading this blog in general, even if it's just a post or two. I'm trying to find new ways to get new audiences to read it but I feel like it's not working as well as I initially hoped. I assume, like me, you may or may not have expected a personal post today- but thank you for taking the time to read it- /post.

Characters which were NOT in the LOTR films [that should have been]:

As a geek at heart, I should probably mention that I always have [and probably always will] have a soft spot in my heart for "The Lord Of The Rings" series. First off, when I first saw the movies/read the books, I refused to tell myself that I enjoy them. [I was way too much of a fan-boy for Harry Potter, since I read those first] However, now that I'm older and I've re-watched the trilogy, I'm realizing how much I really do enjoy the story, the mythology behind it, and the characters in general. The main thing that hit me, was that there are characters from the books, which never made their way into the films.. In this list, I will mention 5 of them [obviously there are more though] along with a small definition of them [in case you haven't read the books]..

———————————————————————————–

 

 #01; Glorfindel-

Remember the part in The Fellowship Of The Ring when Frodo got stabbed by The Witch King & suddenly, Arwen showed up on her white horse and saved his life by taking him to Rivendell? Well..what you were really supposed to be seeing was a character by the name of Glorfindel. He's the one who arrived at the scene, and brought our dear Frodo to safety. Arwen doesn’t show up until way later!

 ———————————————————————————–

 

 #02; Melkor- 
Put simply, Melkor was the very first dark Lord. Sauron, who everyone knows as the big bad guy of the LOTR series, was actually this guy’s apprentice. According to the books, when the world was first being created, Melkor was constantly fighting against it; doing this caused valleys to raise, if that wasn't enough, he also was known for smashing the fucking shit out of mountains. When Sauron was eventually killed, Melkor ended up getting his ass banished into the void. [although he cannot be killed] Ultimately, it has been prophesied that one day, he will return. He’s not precisely the nicest guy in the Lord Of The Rings world..

———————————————————————————–

  

 #03; Fingolfin-

 Fingolfin was an elven king who challenged Melkor to a one on one fight. Melkor [naturally] accepted, but he wasn’t anywhere close to prepared for what he had coming. Fingolfin actually wounded Melkor’s face over 5 times, and Melkor found himself in eternal pain ever since. Unfortunately, Melkor ended up triumphing over Fingolfin mainly because he was what was considered a Valar [which in the LOTR universe, means nearly a God] & Fingolfin was nothing but an elf. Also, Fingolfin was also one of Aragorn’s earliest ancestors.

———————————————————————————–

 

 

#04; Beorn [the Berserker]- 

As it seems, we didn’t see Beorn in the first of the three Hobbit films, however, Bilbo and the others [the dwarves] haven't exactly made it to the town of Mirkwood yet, so there’s a good chance we’ll see him in one of the next two movies. [here's hoping!] Beorn was a giant and actually has the ability to shape-shift into a bear at will. He was driven out of his homeland when it was overrun by Orcs. We seem him living as a hermit when he meets up with Bilbo and friends. 

———————————————————————————–

 

#05; Tom Bombadil- 

Tom Bombadil is an special character, for one very important reason: The One Ring does absolutely nothing to him! You could chain him up against a wall with the ring glued to his face for over a thousand years, and the ring still wouldn’t tempt him with its power. Frodo and the other Hobbits met Tom in The Old Forest, early on during the beginning of their journey. They met when Merry gets trapped inside a living tree, and Tom saves his life by singing to the tree [weird, I know..] which ends up releasing him. Bombadil seems to hold a tremendous amount of power which we never really learn the full extent of. Tom can also see Frodo while he is wearing the Ring-so we know that almost at all times, Tom is watching them. When Frodo lets him see the Ring, Tom wears it, and yet nothing happens. He then makes the Ring totally vanish, but then reproduces it and gives it back to Frodo. 

———————————————————————————–

As I've mentioned above, there's many characters who weren't in the Lord Of The Rings films.. [Even ones who weren't mentioned here] I know the films are long as it is, but even just a mention of them, would have been suffice. Be sure to like the fan page for this blog on Facebook, which you can find here, in the commentsbelow, or on Twitter here . If you have a Tumblr, follow me here. [Have a suggestion for a new post?

Turns out EVIL DEAD 4 isn't what we thought..

At the beginning of the month, I mentioned in a post [which can be found here] that Sam Raimi himself mentioned that he and his brother were working on writing on the script for Evil Dead 4. As it turns out, this was false. According to Raimi’s producer/partner Rob Tapert, they were never talking about doing an Evil Dead 4 but actually doing a direct sequel to Army Of Darkness..  I feel that personally, this is kind of awesome, as long as Bruce Campbell comes back- as you can't have a new Army Of Darkness without [the original] Ashley J. Williams.  [the famous line "This is my Boomstick" ring a bell?]

———————————————————————————–

Also, since this is going to be done by Sam Raimi [considering this series IS his creation], I hope he sticks to his method of not using CGI like he in his other films.. that's what I liked about Evil Dead. Evil Dead 2, Army Of Darkness and Drag Me To Hell.  [Please be aware- I'm not sure if there is CGI in Oz; The Great & Powerful, as I haven't seen the film yet]

[As seen in Army Of Darkness above; pure original make-up effects.. NO CGI]

———————————————————————————–

So, I'll leave this note with the following question.. how do you feel about this little update on what's coming? Are you okay with a direct sequel to Army Of Darkness, or would you have preferred an Evil Dead 4? Let me know! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

EVIL DEAD 4 CONFIRMED~ YAY or NAY?

If you haven't already heard; Sam Raimi has confirmed a 4th Evil Dead movie [which I suppose would have to take place after 'Army Of Darkness'] at an event in London about his most recent flick, "Oz, The Great & Powerful". A horror blog by the name of Bleeding Cool [you can read their full report on the event here] has reported that Raimi told the people at the event the following quote;

"I would love to make Evil Dead 4. My brother & I plan to work on the script this summer."

I feel that this news is kind of abrupt, and so sudden, which is both a good & a bad thing.. I suppose it only makes sense to release the news now- [March is somewhat known as 'Evil Dead Month' which is fucking awesome because my birthday is March 23rd] but to release this news now, after the remake is just about to be released in theatres? what the fuck Raimi? I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong; I'm just slightly confused. Only one question remains however; 

Will Bruce Campbell be returning as Ashley J. Williams?

Personally, I kind of hope so; When I think of Evil Dead, Bruce is really the only one who comes to mind, Even if he is a little too old for the part- I'm sure Bruce and Sam [Raimi] could figure something out to make it work.. after all, they are really good friends.
