UFC FIGHT:
I went to BW3's to watch UFC with my brother and others. Normally, I don't like violence, but my brother explained to me that is for sport. It doesn't really make it right, but as bad as it sounds, I was entertained. Everyone I wanted to win, in the end, lost. That is how it is for me though. Rich Franklin, the belt holder for heavy weight, got kneed in the face and broke his nose by Anderson Silvia. It was gruesome. At the end of the fight he got interviewed, and his whole nose was shifted.
RENTAL MOVIE REVIEW:
I watched a couple movies this weekend, one at home and one in the theater. The first one (the rental) was the Lake House. It was very good, it wasn't fantastic just because the lead went to Neo, and I didn't establish a strong connection to any of the charaters. I could see the conclusion comming within the first 25 minutes of the film.
NEW RELEASE THEATER REVIEW:
At the theater I really wanted to see Little Miss Sunshine or the Departed, but I ended up watching Texas Chainsaw the Begining. Mostly becaue it was Friday the 13th and everyone I went with was feeling Horror for the night. The movie was bloody horrible. I normally love Horror as a genre, but if Horror is heading towards the likes of TCSMTB, then it is dead to me. I understand the fear the film tried to rise from the viewer, the solitude of the abduction, and the casualness of it, but the directors got hung up with shock value. Resulting in a very boring/bad film; Not to mention the humor they tried to toss in was damn terrible. Just because every scene is gore/mutilation it gets way to repetitive. Here is a tip from me to you, the viewer to the filmmakers, go back to square one, blood and gore DO NOT make for a scary film. If I wanted that, I would go into Trauma as a major. I want to see the killer the way Carpenter sees the killer, A shape, and I want to see that motherfucker in almost every scene. I don't want to see his fucking ex-military hillbilly uncle bringing sheep to the slaughter. I do understand you trying to use that as a under tone because Thomas Hewitt working at the slaugherhouse, But I say GOD DAMN, I want to see attemped escapes and the inevitable catch, not stumbling into the ex-military uncle and him taking the catch downstairs. The movie and the killer is lazy. Whatever happened to turning around the corner, and seeing a William Shatner mask with a knife. I miss Carpenters Halloween to much I think
