how to cut & paste the 80s

i managed to squeeze my quarterly dose of horror, gore, blood bath, and severed body parts in two weeks:

  • dawn of the dead (2004). quite simply, a whole lot of fun! one observation: in times of great despair, everyone is a damn good shooter. all the gun shots land smack in the middle of the forehead, not a millimeter off.

  • 28 days later (2002). this films is as much about zombies and man becoming a beast in order to survival. cillian murphy was freaky in this one, and in any other movie as well.

  • the descent (2005). now this is a freaking scary movie. what it's about: 6 girls went into a cave and met smeagols and his clans. and from then on, an epic battle between human (err, women) against the smeagolians ensued. don't. ever. miss. this. movie.

  • house of wax (2005). despite its weak plot - well, most horror flicks have weak plots anyways - and paris hilton's terribly bad acting, i for one, like the violence that is potrayed here. i particularly fancy the knives that the sinclairs used, especially the carvings on the handle. my fancy for knives and swords is of course due to heritage. we ibans have our own intricately carved tribal swords, which as obvious as it may sound, used to chop the heads of our enemies.

  • scary movie 4 (2006). scarier than pride and prejudice, funnier than titanic, more dramatic than schindler's list, with characters cuter than the walt disney's bambi. this, i tell you, is a must watch movie of the year.

  • shaun of the dead (2004). this movie is, well, great: ninja tune (shaun's living room wall have posters of artists from the Ninja Tune record label), the interlude in Winchester where Queen was playing from the jukebox, and then there was the scene where Ed and Shaun were singing to Grandmaster Flash' White Lines. that is really old skool!


over and out. sparse updates, as usual. and: Grandmaster Flash - White Lines.

listening to: tone loc - funky cold medina
