My Blog
I have never been a huge fan of foreign films, although when it comes to horror I am a little more open minded, as with Shaun of the Dead, which I liked almost immediately, and Dead Alive, which took a little more time to like (I had to get past the accents.) Not that I am opposed to accents, but rather the sense of humor found in foreign films is not quite on the same plane as mine, meaning either I am too dense to “get it” or it’s too Monty Python (which I can’t stand.)
ok. So time for one more confession. I’m a big Brendan Frasier fan.
Now I know what you are thinking. He is no Brad Pitt, and you might have a point there but I have a thing for guys with a sense of humor, who know how to really laugh…. Brad Pitt cheats on his wife.
Enough said.
Typically I am not a fan of movies that provide gore just for the sake of shock effect. Usually in these cases the gore is lamely executed or the story line is exceptionally weak.
It’s also in these cases that I find myself annoyed or disgusted, all too aware that the movie is trying to make up for an extremely poor plot by providing mass quantities of blood and innards and gore (think Cabin Fever.)

Flight of the Living Dead is a relatively new zombie flick (2007) that sort of incorporates Snakes on a Plane thrills with a sort of Dawn of the Dead feel. It sounds kind of loser-y I know, but you might be surprised to find yourself liking this one.

Paris Hilton: Millionaire Model and really bad actress? Or is she good??
Let’s face it. Paris is Hot. Say what you want to about her - that she is a spoiled rich kid who has the world by the ass; a dumb blonde; a waste of space; untapped genius….. ok that might be a bit of [...]
….are my favorite kind (sadly Tremors is on my list of favs). My husband cringes whenever he sees me flip to Fearnet or the SciFi channel. My flavor for giant bug type movies make him wonder why he ever married me. I have tried to explain that the fact these movies exist and continue to [...]
