Bates Motel (1987 TV Movie)
8/10
I liked it
27 September 2008
I don't know what a lot of these posters are bitchin' about. What the H E double hockey sticks did they expect from a pilot for a TV series? Did they really to see Norman Bates on social security still running around in drag knocking off people in the shower or something of the like? Wouldn't that get boring after an episode or two? With that being said, I thought the creative way they blended the Bates story with some new mystery and a ghost story set a pretty good stage for some decent TV. Guess it was all that closed mindedness and lack of vision from the pubic that stopped that from happening. It's bad too, we could have had another 80s cult show.

O Beautiful (2002)
10/10
I Was Moved

I totally disagree with the bad reviews of this short film. It wasn't about a title transfer. The part about the truck was showing the deep sorrow that the one basher had and his need for forgiveness. Okay so the singing wasn't that great, but that wasn't really the point either. The basher himself had his own struggles with his sexuality and he knew that his domineering father and the homophobic town he lived in would never accept him being anything but the hetero jock he was molded to be.

I'd never heard of this or knew anything about it before I saw it as part of Boys Life 4. I was seriously captivated from beginning to end. I didn't really get the dirt eating part but then again I have no idea how I would react to that situation either.

I also thought the acting and split screen was brilliant.

It left me with something I didn't have before I watched it.

April Fools (2007 Video)
1/10
This is a stink bomb!

I don't know which was worse - the horrible, unbelievable acting or the awful storyline.

It is I know what you did last summer from the hood. The motive for the killer was retarded but I don't think that was even as bad as the normal everyday reactions and decisions that the characters were supposed to be making. It made no sense. A first grader could have come up with something more creative. It isn't even good for a laugh.

This is one movie that I hoped there were going to be no survivors because none of the characters were likable. They were so stupid they deserved to die, even the daddy/policeman, who was the worst movie cops in the history of all movie cops. Everyone involved with this movie should be ashamed and embarrassed or arrested for a terrorist act.

GREAT!

This really is a great movie. I don't think it has ever gotten the recognition that it deserves. I have bought this movie on VHS and DVD. The special effects were ahead of its time. The story was WAY cool. The pace was very steady. If you haven't seen it, you definitely need to check it out on DVD if possible.
