Amusement

Originally planned as a big screen release, the production company folded and domed this to direct to DVD. While not a masterpiece it is better than a lot of the higher profile films released to theater and way above most Direct to vid films. It has a decent budget, and really looks slick and polished. The acting is good enough to carry it and the plot, well the plot is a pretty convoluted mess, but does feature some decent scares. The motive for the killing are pretty weak, but since the protagonist is identified as being an insane psychotic, does he really need a reason.  If you like creepy clowns you will probably love this, especially the middle segment.

Leaked Piranha 3-D film clip

Leaked Piranha 3-D film footage! This leaked clip won't be up long so watch it while you can. Piranha looks to be a gory film, director Alexander Aja is known for making gory horror films such as High Tension and The Hills Have Eyes and it doesn't look like he is backing off on the Pioranha 3-D film. Lot's of blood and boobs so my impression has came up a bit. Filmed at Lake Havasu, Arizona (although changed to Lake Victoria for the film). Like I said this trailer WON'T be up long.

Horror hottie Devon Aoki

OK so Sin City wasn't really a horror movie, but it was a great film by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller.  Robert is a horror vet having directed From Dusk til Dawn, The Faculty and Planet Terror.  Frank is a legendary comic artist and is popular among horror fans.  One of the coolest characters in the Sin City graphic novels is deadly little Miho.  Miho is a pint sized bundle of roller skating, shurkin tossing death and reminded me a little of Miller's most famous creation, Elektra.  Devon Aoki has a very unique look which everyone might not find hot, but I do and that is why she is here.  Hope you enjoy these.

Raiders of the Damned

Wow, watching this made me yearn for a Uwe Boll film. Bad hardly describes Raiders of the Damned. Seriously Ed Wood would be ashamed to have made this film. The special effetcts are juvineile, I have seen better make up effects from students. The vehicle effects are barely more than saucers, actually a helicopter, on string, Richard Grieco appears to be attempting to channel Heath Ledger's Joker. Note to Grieco, you are not Heth Ledger and just watching you ham around in your long stringy faux Joker hairdo pissed me off. The acting is pretty much horrible all around, but Grieco takes the "best" of show. The direction is stupid, zombies lurch around one moment then high speed sword fight with each other the next. I can't comment on the plot because I am not sure it had a plot. The dialogue is laughable which is probably the best thing about this film. Grieco's behavior would be funny as well, but like I mentioned I can't shake that he was trying to imitate Heath. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, true, but not if you are a washed up hack, whose biggest claim to fame was being on the same show as Johnny Depp when he was a teen. Do yourself a favor and avoid this at all cost.

Horror Hottie Anna Falchi part 2

I'm just gonna shut up and let yoiu enjoy these

LET ME IN Restricted (Red Band) Trailer

The original is a classic and one of the best vampire films ever. This is the Americanized remake. I cannot imagine this film being anything but an insult to the original. I admit that some scenes in the trailer look interesting but overall it is an exercise in fail. From watching the trailer it appears the American film will rip away all the ambiguity of the original. One of the great things about Let The Right One In, is wondering exactly what Eli feels for Oskar. Does she want him as a human guardian, vampire companion or just a take out meal. I can't imagine they will keep the sexual ambiguity either as homophobic as the general public is, I just don't think mainstream Hollywood would dare make Eli anything except a female vamp. Still check out the trailer and let me know what you think

Horror Hottie Anna Falchi

Anna Falchi is best known to horror fans from the 1994 zombie  film Cemetery Man with Rupert Everett.  Know in Italy under the original and more poetic name of Delamortre Delamore, the voluptuous role of  She the love interest ( actually interests) of Everett the Cemetery's engineer.  Delamorte Delamore is a wonderful, yet abstract mind bending film, but what really bends your mind is the delectable Anna.  Check her out.

Bird Themed Baby Shower

I recently planned a baby shower for a friend. She wanted to wait untill the baby was born to find out the sex so the typical blue or pink decorations were definatly not going to make an appearence. After consulting with her she chose cool colors. I went with a lemon yellow,  lime green and tourquoise blue because they are summery colors and can be used for both boy and girl colors. I wanted bright, happy and vibrant colors because they are fun and make more of an impact on the space.

A baby shower is about blessing the mother to be with all the little things she and the new baby are going to need once the bundle of joy enters the world.  Birds gather things to make their nests more comfortable for their baby birds this is the process of "nesting." So I thought it was appropriate to have a bird theme seeing as how she was nesting in her home making a space for the baby. Birds are very beautiful and it was not hard to find a plethera of inspiration. I also worked in a sub-theme with the polka dots which were echoed in the napkins, placemats, ribbons on the bird cage, the cupcake wrappers and the party favor bags. I browsed the web and the stores and came up with dozens of ideas that we didnt even use because to do so would have been way over  our budget and also a little over kill. What I did use filled the room with lots of beautiful details and made the shower extra special. The entire  budget  for the event including decorations, food, game supplies and party favors came to about $140.00

Party Favors

Nests were scattered through out the room full of Jordan almonds and other fun snacks such as these bird shaped crackers. The  father's name is Jordan. I felt this was a fun touch.

I coordinated with the caterer to create food  that coplemented the bird theme.  We offered a brunch menu which included marinated bacon, vegitable and potato scramble, fruit salad and quish.  We also Offered Iced Coffees and a punch made with pinapple sherbert, 7-up and orange juice. Below: Cupckakes with coconut
nests and blue berry "eggs" nested on top.

Bagels for the birds... Left nutella and pecans, Right Pumpkin,sunflower and poppy seeds grace the tope of a bagel with cream cheese spread.
