My Review Of Stanley Kubrics A Clockwork Orange.

Ginger Snaps

"Ginger Snaps" is a 2000 Canadian horror movie with the theme of werewolves. It stars Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins as two teenage sisters, Ginger and Brigitte. One of the girls, Ginger, gets bitten by a werewolf, causing her to also become one, slowly but surely. She gets huge scars, starts growing hair and a tail.

Brigitte hears that a silver ring may cure Ginger from becoming a werewolf. She gives her sister a piercing, but it does not work.

Another scene has a girl coming over to the girls' house, accusing Ginger of kidnapping her dog, which she did, and she dies due to a fall during a fight between the girl and Ginger. The girls hide the body. The mother finds the body, however, and says that a new beginning is needed for the family and they have to try to forget about this.

Ginger infects a guy. Brigitte makes another cure with a guy in the hope that Ginger will not infect anyone else and will no longer be a werewolf.

I enjoyed watching this movie, but it is definitely cringe-worthy at times. I recommend it for anyone who wants to get into a relatively simple horror movie.

Trailer:

The Number 23

This is a 2007 suspense thriller starring Jim Carrey.

It is about a man who reads a book in which a suicidal blonde calculates things together and comes up with the number 23 constantly. This had caused her to murder her boyfriend and commit suicide. The man also becomes obsessed with the number, making him paranoid.

The man finds about another murder that happened which was almost identical to the murder in the book. These connections he experiences between his life and the book confuse him and almost drive him insane.

This movie captivated me because it is such an interesting idea and it has the potential to really make the viewer wonder. I recommend this movie for an exciting, almost peculiar viewing.

Simon Says

For Blood , Gore and comedy I watched Simon Says (2006) this week.

Directed by William Dear Starring Crispin Glover ( Simon/Stanley) and Margo Harshman ( Margo) and it even has a snippet of Gossip Girls -Blake Lively!Showing on Zone Horror once or twice a week it is a must see if you like good old fashioned gore.

Starting of with 5 unsuspecting students who set out on a camping trip each one stereo typical- a leading lady , a jock who gets his top off a lot, a stoner , a slutty blond and a neurotic Asian girl.Heading to a secluded forest that just spells disaster.They stop at a gas station where we meet the villain of the film Stanley who a decade before killed his twin brother Simon with a rock.Stanley is some what simple but takes an automatic shine to Margo who he calls dream girl.
From there the teens get killed one by one by Stanley who lurks in the forest with lots of weapons such as daggers axes and chainsaws.Following his dream girl who he eventually captures after many chasing scenes through the forest he reveals how he lived in the shadows of Simon and killed his parents because of it.Margo escapes and lands an axe she happened to have handy in Stanley's head but being a horror she look away and when she looks back hes gone!

The one and only time Blake Lively is in the film even though shes mentioned as one of the main cast members (good marketing ploy) is when another group of teens pull up at the gas station and there is Stanley minus the axe!He goes inside the garage when the camping party pull away and removes his cap while looking in the mirror to reveal a long scar in his head and taps on it as we hear a metal sound making you aware that Stanley and Simon are the same person!The gruesome end is the horrific image of Margo 'Dream girl' sitting in filth under the floor boards with twin babies.

Sometimes crappy horror movies can be fun, in a guilty-pleasure, so-bad-it's-good sort of way.And so this is my guilty pleasure I would watch over and over again.Due to the great acting of Crispin Glover who does homicidal maniac so well and maybe with a different director , lighting , different cast members and different editor Stanley's character would have been very interesting rather then just a country hick that enjoys killing. The twist at the end was good which I found gave a sick twist to the fairytale endings of Boy gets girl instead it was Homicidal maniac gets girl.
until next time

Black Cat White Cat

Black Cat, White Cat is the whacky and bizarre 1998 Yugoslavian film from Emir Kustrica. A romantic comedy it tells the story of Matko a small time hustler and his 17 year old son Zare. After a failed business deal he owes money to the much more successful gangster Dadan. Dadan has a sister, Afrodita, that he desperately wants to see get married so they strike a deal: Zare is to marry her. But none of the two care much for an arranged marriage: Zare is in love with Ida, Afrodita is waiting for the man of her dreams.

So kick back and relax and witness this hilarious run of events from start to finish in this devouring comedy. Unlike anything you've ever seen you wont be dissapointed

Friday Night Lights

Friday Night Lights is a 2004 drama film based on the coach and players of a 1988 high school football team. The film was based on a book but apparently the film is completly different. Billy Bob Thornton (played as santa in 'bad santa') plays the roll of the coach Gary Gains.

the film has the theme of racism poverty, segregation and social conflicts. Theres alot of people who talk about the the film and how it ruins the story in which the book wrote. Complaints about numbers on the players are supposed to be all wrong, but that didnt bother me I just watched and enjoyed.

If your a fan off american football this is the film for you. I watched the film and enjoyed it. I recommend it to football fans. but if you have no interest , stay away.
