Eli Roth's "Cabin Fever" is a fun movie that I will watch again and again. There is imagination, suspense, good gore and reminders of some of my other favorite movies all wrapped in one!First, "Evil Dead" : A pack of college-aged kids decide that a great idea for a vacation is to rent a cabin in the middle of the woods with no telephone or any other form of communication. Heck, the Cabin Fever crew even has to cross water to get to their destination. The "Cabin Fever" youngsters vary a bit from their Evil Dead counterparts, but not much: There is the sex-crazed couple, a romantic couple, and a "third wheel" that is a bit insane. They come to the cabin "to party", as described by the VERY weird deputy sheriff (played by Giuseppe Andrews), he was cool in "2001 Maniacs".
Tow from this movie played in "Death Proof". Any way, now to the good stuff, OK, so a strange disease begins to spread to each of them. What begins as a freakish encounter with a local hermit who looks a bit like his skin is peeling off develops into a water supply tainted with flesh-eating bacteria that begins dissolving our heroes one by one. Eli Roth, to me anyway, is the fucking truth! I love the fact that he's so iffy about germs , it really comes through cause this movie made me gag. If you haven't seen this one yet, then what the fuck are you waiting for.

Hostel

Hostel", for me was top notch, sick, twisted, disgusting and absolutely brilliant! Directed by Eli Roth who also wrote and directed "Cabin Fever", its about two Americans backpacking through Europe who end up victims of an underground murder-for-profit business! The start of this movie was very soft porn, then at about half time it turns into this super dark and gritty slaughter house!

Roth develops the characters - especially the hero - beyond connect-the-dots portraits, and he makes a steady, grueling, suspenseful march to a odd finish that is likely to give it a devoted cult following. Go back and watch it again, the ending is very strange. If uer one of the few that didn't see this movie then uer really missing out on something special. I hold "Hostel" much higher than any of the "Saw", movies. Eli Roth kicks ass. I can't wait to see what he has in store for us!

The Blob!
"The Blob" remake is a really good movie with effects that were pretty swell for 1988! This movie, compared to the 1958 original is far gorier with the blob attacking with vengeance anybody that dares fire guns or flame throwers at it. This one has a mind of its own. The end is specially creepy with the one eyed Preacher man and his sick dream! I never remembered this part till I re-watched it. I love that, when I pick up a flick I haven't seen since I was a kid and discover part of the film that I had forgot or it flew over my head. It's like finding money in the bottom of uer pants pocket that you didn't know was their until you finally put them on again.The one person I’m glad the thing didn’t eat was Meg, the heroine played by Shawnee Smith. It was weird to see how far her roots went,Shawnee, I only remember her from the "Saw" series as the recovered heroin addict. She was good in this movie it made me appreciate her more on "Saw", but she did good and she was cute I loved her when her boyfriend gets consumed by the Blob in the hospital scene! That scene was pretty shocking to me seeing it again and all. The FX were really good. This movie is boss so pic it up if you haven't seen or hardly remember it!

28 Days Later
"28 Days Later" is a 2002 British post-apocalyptic horror film directed by Danny Boyle. With a screenplay written by Alex Garland, the film stars Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Noah Huntley and Christopher Eccleston. Set in Great Britain, just after the turn of the 21st century, the story depicts the breakdown of society following the accidental release of a highly contagious virus and focuses upon the struggle of four survivors to cope with the ruination of the life they once knew.
Critical views of the film were very positive; the review site RottenTomatoes rates it 88%. The L.A. Times described it as a "stylistic tour de force", and efilmcritic.com called it "raw, blistering and joyously uncompromising". On Metacritc it received a 73 (out of 100) based on 39 reviews.
Bravo awarded it the 100th spot on their "The 100 Scariest Movie Moments". In 2007, Stylus Magazine named it the second best Zombie movie of all time. Just to clear that up, there are no zombies in this movie just "the infected". I don't know about it being the second best but its most definitely one of my favorites, and Murphy was fucking hot...I want him.

Tamara
Tamara is a 2005 horror movie that didn't do so good and was released only in select theaters. It starts off with a witch doing a curse or sacrificing some one. After the strange beginning it turns to a very familiar movie, even deeper in I keep getting the feeling that I done saw this movie. Although it is a bit of Carrie meets The Craft, Tamara has enough blood and gore packed in it to keep horror fans happy and entertained from start to finish.
Tamara is an unhappy girl. She has little or no friends and she is a regular victim of pranks. She finds solace in her hobbies: witchcraft and black magic. When some of her fellow students pull yet another prank Tamara breaks her neck and dies.The pranksters hide the corpse and swear never to talk about this incident ever again, but Tamara returns from the dead with killer looks and with a bloody vengeance. One by one she hunts down all those involved in her death to settle the score.

Zombie Honeymoon
"Zombie Honeymoon" is an independent Romzomcom (Romantic zombie comedy) about love surviving after death. Its about a couple, Denise and Danny, whom just got married. Denise's uncle lent them a house on the ocean for their honeymoon. While spending the day at the beach, a zombie washes up on shore and attacks Danny. Danny's heart stops but then he wakes up. As the honeymoon continues, Danny starts turning into a zombie more and more, eating his friends and people just passing by. Its sad but cute, I loved it so check on it some time.Written and directed by Dave Gebroe, the main characters in this low-budget flick are patterned after his sister, and his late brother-in-law (a surfer who died in a freak accident). Their personalities, their taste in psychobilly music, their love of horror films, their dreamed-of trip to Portugal, their "foul mouths"—it's all in there. Gebroe was a tad nervous writing a movie based on the couple, but his sister gave him the go-ahead, and she loves the finished product. It is, he says, always an emotional experience when they watch it together. "No matter how many times I see it, it still makes me really sad."

Ok so you may be thinking, whats with Madonna on RANCID, but think again. If you know anything about "Madonna" than you know there is no reason for her not to be on RANCID! She's the shit, so take a big whiff. She may be the "Queen of Pop" but she's got plenty of dark sounds, regardless of how dark or super pop she can get I can't get enough of her. Shes the master at reinventing herself, unfortunately I missed her Reinvention tour, sorry Flaco. She has taped into every thing from trans, Techno, Disco, House, Broadway and now Hip-Hop with "Hard Candy".
The album, overall, has a hip-hop vibe, while remaining a dance-pop record at heart. In the early stages of recording, Stuart Price, the producer of Confessions on a Dance Floor, described the new album as moving in an urban direction. Timberland, Justin, The Neptunes and Danja all worked with her on this one. We-G told me about every one working on it months before all the promotion. I thought there were too many cooks in the kitchen. When he got his hands on the leaked/pre-releaed Liquorice, obviously not official, I new this would be her most ambitious project yet."

"Idle Hands" Are The Devil's Play Things
"Idle Hands" is a 1999 comedy/horror movie starring Devon Sawa, Seth Green, and Jessica Alba with Elden Henson and Vivica A. Fox. It follows the life of a teen whose hand becomes possessed and goes on a killing spree, even after being cut off from his arm. The film was delayed in its release because of the Columbine massacre.
One of my favorite scenes of this movie was after he cut off the hand he microwaved it! Fucking grose. The music was definitely there, the comedy was pitched perfect, Jessica Alba was very cute, and the hand oh so creepy!

The Fog Is Here!
The mysterious fog contains the vengeful ghosts of Blake and the clipper's crew, who have come back on the hundredth anniversary of the shipwreck and the founding of the town to take the lives of six people (symbolic substitutes for the six conspirators).
I loved the fact that Carpenter kept the whole posse together, his tried and true way. The Fog was a rough ride for Carpenter. It didn't work out at first but after shooting a tone of new footage the pieces fell right in place. The whole knock at the door thing fucked me up in the head for while when i was a kid. If there was a knock at the door while I was in the family room alone...I didn't answer, I went straight to my room to pace!

Polls Are In!
My last poll question read "Who do you think is the true Scream Queen" 55% of you are diggin Jamie Lee! One of my faves has always been Halloween. Halloween,directed by John Carpenter, was produced on a budget of $325,000 and grossed $47 million at the box office in the United States, equivalent to over $150 million as of 2008, becoming one of the most profitable independent films ever made.I remember back when I was a kid We-G and I set off to be the next John Carpenter and Debrah Hill. We had a camera, location, actors and all! We were serious about it. We never did finish...every one started paring off, we were kids what do you want. We'd film a kissing scene and next thing is every ones disappeared, no shit. Now that I think about there was a big baby boom soon after, what ever. Born on the 22nd November 1958 in Los Angeles, California. The daughter of film stars Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, Jamie Lee Curtis launched her film career as a "scream queen." After a nondescript supporting role on the TV series Operation Petticoat, Curtis rose to cult stardom thanx to Halloween!
I had this theory once that Jamie Lee was born a hermaphrodite! Now wait, I love Jamie Lee but i thought it we rid that her name could be just as easily be a boys name, she's been on some kind of hormone medication since like 11, her kids came to her by adoption! I think after a few days past her parents decided they wanted a girl. Doctor trimmed the excess, called him a girl and around puberty they realized instead of the trim maybe they should have patched the peach and put Jamie Lee on the estrogen cocktail! I know...I need to lay down.

Mechanical Animals
This album virtually rebuilt the band and gave it more of a Glamour Rock persona. It is Manson's worldwide best-seller. Despite its success, the album was marred by controversy and is notorious for its shocking imagery.in the beginning sales were extremely strong but it became virtually blacklisted when it became the scapegoat of the Columbine shootings of 1999 (despite the dislike of Marilyn Manson by the shooters), so why was Manson's name drop at all?
While dating Manson, during the "Jawbreaker" era, McGowan appeared in a music video for the song "Coma White", and also performed backing vocals on the song "Posthuman." Both of these songs are available on this album! Download and enjoy!

"I Killed The Teen-Dream"
Jawbreaker is a 1999 dark-comedy directed by Darren Stein. It was released February 19, 1999. The film stars Rose McGowan, Rebecca Gayheart, Julie Benz, and Judy Greer as girls in a clique that is at the top of the feeding order in their local high school. Dark, edgy, yet still teenage, the movie obviously pays homage to the 1989 dark comedy "Heathers". It has also been compared to other teenage movies such as "Clueless" and "Carrie".
The movie opens with a semi-playful kidnapping that goes terribly wrong when the huge jawbreaker that McGowan's character sticks in the victim's mouth gets hung up in her throat after she's been tossed into the trunk of a car. It was all supposed to be a prank, but now one of the hubba-hubbas is dead, and, because this is a modern satire, the other hubba-hubbas have to start acting cold-hearted about it.Rose was oh so bad in this movie. First she kills one of her friends, well she supervised. Then just as she's working on the story, and figuring out what the cops should here, Fern Mayo, an outsider, poses as a threat to her lil secret, she reinvents her as "Violette" just to keep her in order. But like all creations she develops a mind of her own! Marilyn Manson was given his cameo part because he was engaged to Rose McGowan at the time the movie was made. It was fun to watch him on the big screen! He played a small part. Cortney pics him up at a bar to take him back to her dead friends bed to fuck, so that it looks like Liz had been raped in bed, where she propped the body! If you haven't seen this movie uer really missing out.

Rodriguez revealed at Comic-Con 2006 that inspiration for his score came from music composed by John Carpenter. Rodriguez said that during the filming of Planet Terror, Carpenter's music was often played on set. Great mix-up, I love what Rodriguez does with his scores, and with a touch of Carpenter, you can't go wrong! Rose did some vocals as well, she sounds great!

"Cherry Darling's" Go-Go Dance!
The intro to "Planet" was brilliant. The music, the tone it set, just picture perfect. I loved at the end of her dance when she is crying by the mirror. Rose McGowan so hot and perfect for "Cherry Darling". I guess she's Robert's new Salma. So if you loved her with both her legs, then watch her gogo @ "The Grindhouse"!

Planet Terror!

"Planet Terror" is a 2007 film written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, about a group of people attempting to survive an onslaught of zombie-like creatures as they feud with a military unit. The film, a tribute to the zombie film genre, stars Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Josh Brolin, Marley Shelton, Michael Biehn, Jeff Fahey, and Bruce Willis. Planet Terror was released theatrically in the United States as part of a double feature with Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof", fucking bad-ass, under the title Grindhouse in order to replicate the experience of viewing exploitation films in a "grindhouse" theater.
I loved just about everything Robert Rodriguez has worked on, Desperado, "El Mariachi", "Once Upon A Time", "From Dusk", I can go on and on. "The Faculty", while it was directed by him, I know he didn't have the complete control he should have. Maybe it was the music, at least Salma Hayek was there; so I guess he pulled more strings then i saw come through. Its just not the same without his music and Tarantino's screen play on it. They should just get married, Robert and Quintin...they make good babies lol!
I noticed Rodriguez pulled lots of inspiration from "John Carpenter"! The special FX were very "The Thing", several shots and angels were like right out of a "Carpenter" movie; major thumbs up for that! Marley Shelton was so good in this movie. Rodriguez worked with her on "Sin City"; she's the one that gets killed in the opening, by Josh Harnet's character. What ever it is that she brought to the film was great, I loved her as "Dakota", I can't say anything bad about this movie! Its slowly becoming one of my favorite movies of all time! "Planet Terror" is just so good and so much fun to watch...well you might feel a little prick.
