Blood and Chocolate (2007)
Good if you are a fan of the genre or the book, otherwise...
This is the same story that's been told since the beginning of time. Guy finds girl, guy loves girl, girl seems to have dirty secret, tries to ignore guy, guy pushes his way into girls life, girl and guy fall in love, girl's family disapproves, guy and girl have to fight to stay together. Almost the same plot was used in Underworld. The difference is instead of two movies with somewhat different plots, Blood and Chocolate is all of it crammed into one movie with no twist or turns. The visual effects were what surprised me. I figured with a movie that's got a plot and acting about as good as a B movie, the change from man/woman to wolf would be awful. It wasn't. The soundtrack in quite a few places was also horrible. This is especially apparent in the scene after the title, where the main character is running. It's like a freaking Nike commercial. Except every once in awhile she jumps off of walls? What the heck is that about? I didn't know wolves jump off of walls to go down stairs... anyways, it's an annoying scene. The beginning part that gets shown before the title and the cast of the movie are shown is usually the one part that lets you know if you'll like the movie or hate it. The beginning of Blood and Chocolate was as watered down, unexciting and while perhaps not trying to give anything away, it gave everything away. I never read the book and I'm not a fan of vampires/werewolves. While I did enjoy underworld, I did not enjoy this film. The greatest thing about Blood and Chocolate is they didn't add in anything that shouldn't have been there. They seemed to stick to exactly what needed to be stuck to. And hopefully they followed the book too. If I knew they had, I'd probably give this movie a 6 or 7. Too many directors take projects like this where it should be done for the fans of whatever it's based off of, but rather they try to make it nice and fun for everyone and make a crap movie.
Spitting Image: The Ronnie and Nancy Show (1987)
A great episode
I used to love watching this. I had no idea it was part of a larger series. I must have been 6 or so at the time it was on TV. I just thought it was funny and for some reason I had a deep fascination for something that was clear that was in the president's pile of bathtub toys. My parents had taped this off of TV when it originally aired on NBC. The tape even had the old Sanka coffee commercial along with a few others. I'm planning on returning home sometime soon and will try to record the tape onto my computer so that those who want a copy can do so. If anyone of you would like to contact me, I think you can do that through the IMDb site feel free. I will keep you updated and let you know when I have the show in a digital format.
Death Tunnel (2005)
Movie? This is a movie?
I say this review contains a spoiler because I'm not sure if there is actually anything to spoil about the movie. "Beautiful" women from a college in Ketucky are taken to an semi-famous abandoned sanatorium. That's where the plot ends and the horror begins. The horror of this movie isn't anything planned I'm sure. The horror is how much this movie sucks. I feel sorry for anyone who bought this movie. You've really wasted your money if you have. Showing people screaming, and then using really loud noises every five minutes during a transition between what's actually going on and video of pictures is not scary. It's stupid. The girls scream at nothing. They show a picture that's an actual picture taken from when the Sanitorium was running. Then they show a sort of flash back and then a girl screaming. This takes place throughout the entire movie in 5 minute increments. The documentary made on the Sanitorium while this movie was being filmed was scarier than the movie itself. To the people who made this movie I suggest you stop making movies and go back to asking people if they'd like fries with that. I think whoever 'taught' these people to 'make movies' was a 4 year old with ADD. This movie should have been called 'You'll never be scared because you'll be too busy trying to figure out what if any plot exist!' That would have been a better title. Beautiful girls, gratuitous breasts shots, and lots of screaming does not make a horror movie. It makes a crap movie just like this one.
