Indie Gems: Teeth

-
When you think your sex life sucks...

Think about Dawn's. (Jess Weixler) She's a high school student that believes in purity. She's saving herself for marriage, refuses to think any impure thoughts, she's an all around good girl. Only all this is fueled by the fact that she has teeth in her vagina. You read that right.

This is one of those movies that I heard about when it first came out back in 2007, and thought "That's so ridiculous...I have to see it." It took awhile, but I finally got to sit down and watch it.

And this movie is ridiculous. There's plenty of shots of severed penises and lots of screaming, but it finds a good balance between being funny and being interesting. This film knows it's over the top and embraces it, and I can't help but love it for that.

Grade: B

    So glad you got to see this. It's such a fun, quirky movie. Its comedy is pitch black which works perfectly. Plus, I saw it as a way more effective urging for teen abstinence than those crappy Twilight flicks which tried so hard in that area. Good review.

      It is, and they definitely don't shy away from the gore part of it either.

    I've seen a glimpse of it before. My friend showed some parts of it while I'm stopping by. Really, it has a definitely unique premise with enough gore to make me paralyzed.

    Oh Lord, I'd forgotten all about this movie. I didn't watch it, but my daughter did. I remember having kind of a morbid fascination with the fact that this premise even exists.

    I often wonder who comes up with this kind of stuff. And I am reminded of an interview I saw with the guy who created Killer Joe. He had been asked about the infamous K-Fry-C scene. People wondered, "How do you even think of something like that." He responded, "I may not have been entirely sober." Classic! And it probably explains a lot.

      lol. I imagine movies like this stem from conversations people have while high. I mean, how else would we get movies like this and 'Rubber' for example?

    I've seen some of this on TV, and that was too much. ;)

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

-
Image
Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen...

My Favorite Movie Youtube Channels

-

Starting around 2018, I started watching Youtube for more than just movie trailers or music videos whenever a new one dropped. Now I'm in full blown subscription mode and don't bat an eyelash at watching a Youtube video that's over an hour long. I watch Youtube for a few different categories of content, but one of them that I love most is movie/TV essays and commentary, and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Below is a list of my favorite movie related Youtube channels. Let me know if you're familiar with them too, or if you have any you'd like to recommend to me.  Double Toasted - I'm honestly surprised this channel isn't bigger. I first came across Korey and Martin when they reviewed War for the Planet of the Apes a few months before it hit theaters and I thought they were hysterical. While their full length videos stream on Twitch, they often upload their movie reviews and commentary on youtube and they're always hilarious. They've...
