The Devil's Rejects

I Just watched this film last evening and WOW! Although this is a sequel to Rob Zombie’s first film House of a 1000 Corpses, this film really stands up all by itself. In everyway that 1000 Corpses was cliché this film is original, and although it was billed as a horror film by many, it transcends that genre to become something more.

Back again are the evil family of killers known as The Devil’s Rejects. And although they were pretty much 70s horror movie caricatures in the first film, in this film they are characters. Rob Zombie brings them to life, gives them personality and very unexpectedly makes you care about these killer misfits.

Also in this film Rob Zombies is trying to say something about horror and fear. In this film the horror can be found in unexpected places and unexpected people.

The film has a very 70s look about it, not just in the set pieces but the cinematography also, as well as a really cool soundtrack which is utilized perfectly throughout the film.

Yes this is a horror film, as evidenced by the gore and the brutal torture and killings, which take place with painful glee through the film. However if you can look past that and see the real meat of the story, you will find one excellent film.

I can honestly recommend this film to any fan of Horror, but more surprisingly I can recommend it to anyone who just wants to watch a good movie.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood- Prince

I just just finished the sixth book in the Harry Potter series and what can I say, Now I'm waiting in great anticipation for the seventh. What I really love about these books is the sense of mystery. Every chapter gives just a little clue or hint of the big picture, which forces you to keep reading. If you liked the previous books, well this one is right up your alley. If you didn't like the other books, nothing I say here is going to change your mind. Although there are still many people out there wondering what all the fuss is about , for a childrens book. Arrgh....................and these are the same people who will never , ever give them a chance.

Please read and enjoy:)

Shadows over Camelot

This is a recent boardgame from Days of Wonder.

This is a cooperative game in which all the players team togethor and play against the mechanics of the game. Every player is one of the Knights of the famed round table and there are several on-going quests in which you work as a team or solo to win, such as quest for the Holy Grail, search for excalibur, quest for Lancelot Armor, fighting the Black Knight and so on. The game is really tough and everyone has difficult choices. One really fun aspect is that one of the players could be a traitor, secretly working against the rest of the players. This a really fun game, with beautiful components and boards.

Very good game, I give it a high recommendation.

My Boring Ass Life

This Kevin Smith's Blog,

I find him to be one of the most interesting Directors out there, not because I think he is the most fantastic film maker out there, but because he is one of the most outspoken about his craft.

He lets you know that this is just his job, and he feels tremendously lucky to be doing what he's doing.

With every entry in his blog you understand, that he just a normal everyday guy living his life.
