Movie Review: Grindhouse Presents: Planet Terror

WOW!!! WOW!!! What a movie, huh!?!?! I can't remember the last time I saw such horrible acting or such a horrible movie. I think it is up there with The Ninth Gate (Johnny Depp) and The Beach (Leonardo DiCaprio). The only reason I watched this movie in its entirety was to see if it was really that horrible or if it was just those few scenes. Nope, it's horrible the whole way through. Sadly...it was so horrible it was decent. I mean I love odd movies about weird things. But this was even over the edge for me. I think maybe the reason it was so horrible was b/c the acting was hideous...and some of these people are good actors in other movies/shows. I don't know what happened here. At some points in the movie I actually liked it and then others I found myself wanting to vomit. I think this movie caused me to have a small case of bi-polar disorder. If I have to give a recommendation as to whether one should watch it or not, I'd have to say that one should watch it and decide for themselves. The leading male role, "L Ray" was pretty hot. A little bit of an odd ball...but still hot. I dig the whole guys w/tattoos and scars so maybe others won't find him as attractive. I think the worst two things he did in this movie were 1.) when the leading female role, Cherry (Rose McGowan), says f**k you...he takes off his shirt and says f**k me? like they're going to do it. This TOTALLY ruined the sex scene b/c you knew that they were gonna do it since he takes off his shirt and leaves it off...TOTAL GIVE AWAY!!; and 2.) (sorry to give this away) near the end when he's dieing right before his last breath he has like a damn seizure...then he he silently takes his last breath and is gone. Like I know he was shot and all...but was the over-acting really necessary!?!?! But I suppose if he had done these two scenes well it would have screwed up the whole movie and made everyone elses horrible acting seem that much worse. And just to even things out, Cherry has a few horrible scenes of her own. Her worst one is probably also L Ray's worst one. That dieing scene...as he's dieing and telling her that "he never misses" (implying she's pregnant, but we've all assumed that she is now that he's dieing) she is sobbing like a 3 year old throwing a tempertantrum...and I'm not exaggerating here when I say this. The noises coming from her are like that of a child crying to get attention b/c they're not happy. Again, though...had she acted well the movie would have been screwed.
Ok, I suppose that's enough rambling for now. Go watch the movie...it'll be worth it. At the very least you'll have a new worst movie you've ever seen to tell people about. Also, before I forget...Bruce Willis is in it!! That has to count for something!

Finally...an outlet...

I have always been a big fan of blogging...however I dont' necessarily want all of my friends to be reading what I'm feeling. Makes life too damn complicated. So today while Google-ing pictures of Sharon Tate I came across someone's blog on here where they talked about her. This is the perfect place for me. YAY!! ;o)
And now I will answer the question you're probably asking yourself...why was I looking up pictures of Sharon Tate!?!? Well, I like to read MSNBC's crime reports. And I'm a little behind so I just read one they did on 8/29/08, on Mr.Charlie Manson and his "family." I have read about this story and him MANY times...and have always been curious as to what Sharon Tate looked (looks?) like. Well now I know. And you thought I was exaggerating when I said crazed red head!! lol
So that is what brought me here to this wonderful cite. I look forward to utilizing it as much as possible. And I hope that who ever finds my blog enjoys it, and doesn't drop any IQ points from it! :o)
