The Movie Of My Nightmares, #3

Want to know how goofy I am? I saw Freddy vs. Jason twice more today. I went to the Frankfort Wal-Mart with my mom (because I didn't have anything better to do today), and I got kinda bored, so I walked to the nearby theater. "Nearby" can be defined as "around a mile away." Since I don't have a car and my mom was working, I walked to the theater. Sure, walking a mile doesn't seem much, but imagine if you walked a two-mile round trip twice in 90-degree heat. I also happened to be wearing my good Skechers dress shoes (why, I don't know), and I ended up with nasty blisters on my ankles. It doesn't need to be said that blisters are the opposite of good. My knees and calves hurt like crazy, the blisters are painful, it was a blazing inferno outside, and I just don't feel all that great. At least I got to see Freddy vs. Jason twice.

Combined, I've now seen Freddy vs. Jason four times. Four times. I've never seen any movie while in the theater more than twice (with the exception of Spider-Man), but this movie is special. I've also updated my review of Freddy vs. Jason. The rating remains the same, but I just added some more detailed opinions. You can either click the link in the post below this one, or you can just click here.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Good night.

The Movie Of My Nightmares, #2

Just wanted to post my review of Freddy vs. Jason. Click here to read it.

The Movie Of My Nightmares, And Some Wrestling

August 15th has come and gone, and Freddy vs. Jason is theaters now. I went to see it in Bardstown with my dad, then again in Campbellsville with my homey Moses on Friday night. Ten years of waiting paid off, as it was the best Elm Street and Friday movie I've seen in a long time. It was a wonderful reward for fans of both cinematic stalkers, especially those who've been in it for the long haul. Lots of little references to the past films make it enjoyable for the hardcore fans, and there's enough history explained for the casual fans who don't know a lot about Freddy or Jason.

I'll give Freddy vs. Jason a detailed review soon, but I'll tell you my opinions right now. The acting isn't as bad as one would expect. Monica Keena and Jason Ritter are great as the heroine and her boyfriend, and despite having one awful scene, Kelly Rowland far exceeded my expectations. The two fight scenes between Freddy and Jason are unbelieveably awesome. Whoever choreographed these fights deserves a round of applause because they're out of this world.

But on to Saturday night. Me and Moses went to Lexington for a WWE house show. Highlight of the night was bumping into Kevin Nash and Eric Bischoff at the bar next door to Rupp Arena. Unfortunately, two things kept me from getting autographs: 1.) I didn't have a pen, and 2.) since the bar was in a hotel lobby, the employees told everyone that didn't have a room there to leave or they'd call the cops. The pictures I took didn't come out all that well, since our seats were way in the back and I didn't have a good zoom on my camera, but Moses and I had a good time.

I'm gonna close this post for now, so I'll see you later.

Get Ready To Rumble

With Freddy vs. Jason being released tomorrow, I thought I'd get everybody prepared and do something fun. For the last week, I've been writing up my reviews of the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday The 13th films, and the day before the release of the biggest scary movie ever, I'm posting them here for you, my readers. You can read the Friday The 13th review here, and the Nightmare on Elm Street review here.

Check those out, and I'm done until the weekend.

Slasher Music, And A Hellish House

Yes, I know I don't post very much here. But when I do, I do.

I picked up the soundtrack to Freddy vs. Jason and the DVD of House of 1000 Corpses today. I haven't really gotten to sit down and listen to the CD, but what I have heard ranges from good to okay to "eh." Meanwhile, you can read my review of House of 1000 Corpses here. On the DVD side, the menus are worth the price of admission alone. If there's a word that's better than "awesome," use it here. The extras are a little underwhelming, and I wish they'd released the NC-17 version, but I'll take what I can get. Besides, word around the campfire is there's gonna be a sequel, so the NC-17 cut could be released to hype the sequel. That's how Hollywood works. I'll probably buy a second version too, just so I can compare the NC-17 and R-rated versions.

Well, I can't think of much else to say. I'm outta here, so you people behave youselves and go see Freddy vs. Jason on Friday. See you sometime this weekend for another update.

I'm Such A Geek

Got up at 6:30 this morning, and headed to Danville with my dad to get my mom's car looked at. There's some kind of messed-up gasket in the engine or something, and it's gonna take three hours of work to fix. My mom's gonna go back to Danville in the morning and get that checked out.

After we got the car looked at today, me and Dad went driving around. I stopped at two bookstores, Wal-Mart, and Sam Goody before discovering what I was looking for at Kroger: the official Freddy vs. Jason magazine. I'm such a geek.

Anyway, outside of that and a bunch of storms, there's not much else to update on, so I'll close it here by saying goodbye. Bye, all.

I've Never Been To A Wedding Like This

Hey, I actually went outside and did something for once. Weird, isn't it? The outside world is a little scary, though.

Anyway, I and my associate Moses went to my old stomping grounds of C-Ville to see American Wedding. If you want my honest opinion, I think it's a lot better than the first two slices of American Pie. It doesn't suffer from the loss of half of the main cast from the first two (and it doesn't even mention any of the departed but one). The movie also seems more "grown up" than the prior two films in the trilogy, which is a plus. Sure, there's plenty of potty humor (is there any other kind in the American Pie movies?), but it doesn't seem as juvenile as in the past. Although the film's title makes you think that the focus will be on a wedding, that's just the backdrop to give Seann William Scott's oft-quoted Stifler the reigns to own the movie as he sees fit. I give it a solid thumbs-up.
