Quarantine: a strict isolation, usually imposed by the government, to prevent the spread of something considered dangerous, such as that of disease. The duration of such being typically 40 days…

Presuming anyone would survive that long….

Clive Barker’s Midnight Meat Train

Please, step away from the meat.

Ok, so with a name like “Midnight Meat Train” it’s probably safe to assume there is going to be meat, though probably not the kind you would want to eat unless you are of the same sick and twisted caliber such as Ed Gein, or Jeffrey Dahmer.

Oh, and there will probably be blood on the Midnight Meat Train. Lots and lots of blood.

Before I get started on this review, I have to say “Boys, never ever wear bikini briefs, or speedos.” Of course this also means that g-strings and thongs for guys are strictly verboten. Now I understand that Jockeys, FOTL and Hanes make them, but that does not mean cool guys wear them. Nerds, dorks, “guys” struggling with their own sexuality, guys with overly inflated egos, and just plain ugly guys, wear these type of underwear. Not cool guys who want to get laid. DO NOT fall victim to your sweet side! (You know it’s in there, and so do we.) Go commando if you must - just don’t wear any of the a fore mentioned excuses for underwear.

So, now that proper underwear etiquette is out of the way, let’s move on to the movie review.

Martain Child

The story of a man becoming a father & a boy becoming a son.

Martian Child is a romantic drama starring John Cusack (whom I love) as David Gordon, a recently widowed, successful science fiction writer who longs to do something meaningful with his life. What he decides that something is, is to adopt a child.

His sister, played by none other than his real life sister Joan Cusack (whom I also love) is opposed to the idea, being a mother herself, thinking he is taking on more of a task than he realizes. David, not even sure he himself thinks its a good idea, falters, but is eventually won over by the ever allusive Dennis.

Lakeview Terrace

What could be safer than living next to a cop?

I have been intrigued with this movie ever since my buddy over at Worth The Popcorn did a write up of it in April. He has since abandoned that blog, in effort of an alternative one, which he seems to have abandoned as well (I wonder where ol’ Jimmy boy went??) I must say I miss Worth The Popcorn, though. It was a great blog with very unique ideas.

I was pumped to see Lakeview Terrace finally released in theaters. I had started to think it was going to target a limited market since I had learned of this movie so long ago and had seen nor heard anything more of it. Needless to say I had to rush right out to see it at the first available afternoon.

IRS and Monsters That Suck

No sense in trying to hide. They will find you.

Taxes.

Anyone out there delay the inevitable besides me? Two extensions are allowed, but unless you want the wrath of the IRS Nazi police knocking down your door, at some point you have to file your damned taxes.

Well I for one don’t want those Nazi Police knocking down my door so I filed my taxes, and I realized something in doing so. The IRS are a bunch of life draining sucking monsters. Here’s why.

I love books. Worked in a bookstore for 11 years, so needless to say, I’ve heard the name Charlaine Harris, and knew she wrote a vampire series. The problem is that I typically don’t like female authors because no matter how gritty their novels can be, there is always an element of romantic love that rings too much like a Barbara Cartland romance novel. Not that I am opposed to romance and love, just not the sappy “he looked at me as though he were looking into my very soul” crap. Plus the main characters name is “Sookie” - I mean really, could it be anymore cheesy than that? And I don’t mean good cheese, I mean gawd awful, stinky, limburger cheese…
