So I have hit a bout of mild depression. First, no one really had any of my stew that I made this Thanksgiving, even though it got rave reviews. Granted no one really ate anything since it was after many had already attended their own Thanksgiving meals. But still... Second, Miss Lynn and J-dog are house-sitting...and everyday, they come back home to do 'something', I can understand getting the mail, but coming home to clean then go back out there. So although the house is to myself it isn't really since they come back everyday. Now, bare in mind, this wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for number 3 on my list, which I'll get to in a minute. I just want some time to be alone and be depressed. I am aware that I'm slacking on my chores.
Number 3. My dad has entered my life again without my full permission. He was admitted to the hospital last week. He is in bad shape (no surprise). ... ... ... ...that's all I feel like saying.

Horrorfest 2007 part 2
I have been insanely busy at work. That and small projects at home. But I got me a long break today, now that I am caught-up. I post the rest of my reviews to the horrorfest below, even though it is late. I give an update soon.
Mulberry Street - Set in an apartment building, that has just told all the tenants that will be evicted, in Brooklyn. There is a disease about to spread. It is unknown how this disease started but what is known is that it is spread through rat bites. And the rats of Brooklyn have become extremely agitated. This disease turn people into rat people. Yes, rat people. Now, that sound completely stupid for a horror film; however, it was really well done for having a stupid plot. It was made similar to 28 days later. It is like a zombie infestation only they are not dead, they're just rat people. But seriously it was really good. I would say it stands a chance against 28 day later, it won't win (cause to many ladies think the guy in 28 days later is hot), but it stands a chance.
Rating: 3 raptors - I was edge of my seat for a few moments.
Nightmare Man - This is another T&A film only this one was corny. Decently shot, good emotion, scary at parts, but when the end came, dear gawd, really?...I mean, really? A woman purchases a fertility mask from Africa. Whether it is a fertility mask or not is never made clear, but it is a mask with horns, and a scary-ish face. Well, she begins to have nightmare about a masked man trying to kill her or rape her or whatever. She believes she has a evil entity inside her and her pills keep the demon at bay but on her way to commit herself she encounters an identical masked man trying to kill her. She runs through the woods, she gets hurt. She comes across a party of 20-somethings have a truth or dare party. She sounds crazy saying the demon got out and she needs her pills (she dropped them in the woods). Anyway, most everyone dies. The killer was hired by her husband who was cheating on her (which never came up, I mean not a hint of infidelity). She turns into this supposed demon inside her, kills everybody else except one girl who manages to kill her. The survivor is possessed and needs pills now. She commits herself and the doctors decide to stop her medication because she is doing better. Almost instantly her transforms into the demon...THE END. Aside from the naked ladies, it was crap. Seriously all three days I went, the first film of the day was crap. I had to suffer through an hour and a half of crap before the good stuff. Anyway.
Rating: Ex-raptor feeding grounds - the naked girls weren't really attractive, but their boobs were.
Tooth and Nail - I had high expectations for this film. And even though it didn't meet them It still was really great. Now, again, I am bias. This film had my favorite actress from year's horrorfest. Rachel Miner from Penny Dreadful. Unfortunately, not her best role this time. She did well in the beginning but she just doesn't do evil very well. Which is odd, she has a look about her that screams evil, its all in the eyebrows. Anyway, and Rider Strong comes back for another horrorfest film in the same year; nice. The film is about a post apocalyptic world not to far off. No war, no disease, no famine, not global warming or any other economic disaster; we just ran out of gas. Most of the American population has traveled south where it is mentioned that it is a constant war zone down there for survival. A small band of about 12 people decided to stay in a hospital in Philadelphia. And, for the adversity, some humans have resorted to cannibalism for food. Leading the cannibals are 2 very good villain actors; Michael Madsen and Vinnie Jones. Also, apparently the world has gotten so bad that everybody has changed their name to a nomadic survival name; i.e. Jackal, Darwin, Viper, etc. And leading the host of survivors in the hospital is no other than the leader of the nerds from revenge of the nerds Robert Carradine. I liked this film. I had a fun time. As for a film though, it was a bit below par. The script was terrible; the acting was good, but with bad lines; very little action, more of a drama/suspense than a horror film.
Rating: 3 raptors - I really liked it but it wasn't that great of a film.
Crazy Eights - Lame. A few old actors. The film is about 6 friends who gather for another friends funeral. He left them a message to visit such and such place. They do. They remember they had a 8th friend that they had forgotten about after they discover her body. Her ghost kills them all one by one. When they were kids, they were sent away to this research facility. They all escaped, but they had to hide their 8th friend cause she had a bad leg. They told her they would be back for her. They did come back but she had already suffocated in her hiding spot by then. So they hid it, and buried it, and forgot about. That is pretty much it. The characters at typical film persona. There is a strong one, a brave one, a smart one, a artistic one, a crazy one, an angry one, blah, blah, blah. It was film well, though. I think by the time I saw this film I just wanted the horrorfest to end.
Rating: 3 raptors - it was a good film, it just didn't appeal to me.

Horrorfest 2007 part 1
This will be a 2 part-er instead of 3. Although it took a lot out of me I really did enjoy it. Also, if you are interested in any of the films they are still on for this weekend. 16th - 18th.
And here is a reposting of my ratings; the more the slaughter, the better:
65 million years later - will never die by raptors
Ex-raptor feeding grounds - small chance of raptor death (much like being hit by lightning)
Raptor feeding grounds - decent chance of death but possible survival
1 raptor - will die but not after lots of torturous waiting as it stalks you
2 raptors - will die after they start eating you
3 raptors - will die before you even see the other 2
Raptor nest - will die with a vengeance
Raptor hunting party - signing you soul away could not protect you
Unearthed - Crap, pure and udder crap. This film is about the disappearance of the Anasazi tribe. It starts out decent, well enough for a standard B-movie. But then came the explanation of the plot. It took all of 5 mins from cave drawings. And it wasn't like these elaborate cave drawing, no, it was the people reading the cave drawings. First, it was some intelligent creature, then it was an alien, then it was an alien bent on our destruction, then it was an alien that was peaceful and "something" happen to make it turn on us. Then it turned into a alien researcher that came to investigate our world's species that turned on us. Then there was the alien itself. Was it cool looking? Yes. Was it original? No. So what did it look like? It was an alien from the movie Aliens. Yeah. No, it didn't look kinda like it, it look exactly like it. Next, bad, bad, bad, terrible acting and direction. This movie is crap. If you ever come across it; burn it, destroy your TV, gouge your eyes out. It is better than sitting through an hour and a half of this shit.
Rating: 65 million years later - I don't think I need to add to that.
The Deaths of Ian Stone - I was looking forward to this film. Not high expectations but high enough. And it didn't disappoint. Cool concept. A man dies everyday, and when he wakes up he is in a new life with very little, if any, memory of the previous. And he has to figure out why this is happening to him and who is doing it. Fun stuff. The acting isn't to shabby. Dramatic, sure. But a good time. Granted you can figure out the entire story about halfway into it but it is still good to watch. Bad points. Apparently, the are spirits out there that feed on fear and can kill you whenever they feel like it and you have no control in the matter what so ever. And, at the end, we are told that there is this one spirit who found a way to kill his own kind and he is the only one. And then all the other spirits attempt to take him down; well, if he is the ONLY spirit who can kill his own kind, wouldn't the others try to avoid him at all costs since they don't know how to kill him? Huge plot hole in my opinion.
Rating: 3 raptors - It is an intense film. And even though you may have figured it out you never really know til the end.
Borderland - Out of every 8 films there has to be the best and this is it. This was the best one, of course, I am a little bias. I really like movies about Mexico. Desperado, Once upon a time in Mexico, From Dusk til Dawn, Way of the Gun. They are like people from today, trapped in the old west. Actually, I guess it really is that I like movies in third world economies. Anyway, this is based on a true event on the Mexican border. A satanic cult that slaughter people for rituals of power. Many were caught, many are still at large today. This is about 3 guys who go across the border to have a good time. One gets nabbed and the others try to find him. And, of course, are way over their heads. The first of the 8 to have some stars in it. First is Rider Strong; you may remember him from Boy Meets World on Disney. And second, probably the most under-rated actor (IMO) Sean Astin, Sam from Lord of the Rings. Top notch film, really. If your gonna see any or you debated to see any, this is the one hands down. The thing I loved about it was realism. This was as real as you can get, in a horror film, to a real occurrence of events.
Rating: Raptor nest - not a perfect score because it was still a little corny in some places
Lake Dead - This is the T&A film of the 8. Even though there is only one girl that gets naked and she dies pretty quickly. Well, not quickly, but is dies early on. Cool way too, pick axe through the cheek (her face) and pinned to a tree. Still alive for a while. But this one was bad in plot. The acting was so-so. But gwad the plot. Incest, that is what it boiled down to. Some family wanted to keep the blood line uber pure, so incest was there answer. And anyone who got in the way was killed. Not mention that 2 of the family members (conceived by mother and son) were portrayed and retarded and deformed, as well as freakish-ly strong and violent. It was stupid.

Before I unleash...
Just give you a small report on the goings on of the past days.
My horrorfest reviews will be in 3 parts again and will start in the next post.
I saw Spamalot twice, I really liked it but the second time was to get a better seat and to grab a CD since I didn't have a cash on me the first time. Yay for better seat for which to see bouncing boobies better... :)
Tori Amos was good; not the best show ever but good. I took out a fellow co-worker, along with Miss Lynn and J-dog with one of their friends. We drank, we laughed, we tripped, we jaunted, we trekked, we drank, we ate, etc.
Netflix/Gamefly
All ladies do it - sexual liberation for women and the struggle of a married woman discovering it. This film has inspired me to think about an American version of it. It is an Italian/French film. What is weird, is that Americans would consider this pornographic, but it is on Netflix. There is visible penetration between the actors. Anyway, I would love to make this in America. Using porn stars (because they are, apparently, the only people who would consider fucking on film in America) and pay them as actors (on top of their porn pay)...hopefully they can act. That is what was great about this film. These weren't porn stars, they were actors who had sex on film. It really is a shame when there is a difference in our society.
Weather Woman - A weather girl becomes famous for flashing her panties while she reports the weather. That is it in a nut-shell. It was suppose to be funny but this brand of Japanese comedy isn't very funny to me. Oh, that and it sucked
Sexy Soccer - A low budget film. Get rich quick scheme of getting girls to play against Chinese boys and distract them so they can win the games. Basically, a bad soft porn from China. Sex for no reason, flash backs of sex for no reason, girls flashing and doing rather awkward dancing (considered sexy I guess), and finally the girls with big boobs don't get topless. It was like A-cup or less got the action. There was a D-cup (at least), and she got ignored the whole film even though she was add to the team because she had a D-cup (at least). Didn't make any sense to me.
Undressed for Success - Um, this wasn't even a film. It was one of those Playboy DVD's of just a girl getting nude. Seriously, It was one girl getting nude; she even gave her bios (measurements, likes/dislikes, aspirations), this btw was the only speaking during the whole thing. Why, why? Why does netflix have this on their shelves but it took forever to put Erik the Viking in their list (just added last week).
That does it for the sexplotation films for now. The next stuff on my list is Seaquest DSV. Sweet. On to gamefly.
BloodRayne 2 - Okay, not gay but lame. No boobs even.
Casshern - interesting, very interesting. Creating the ultimate human, experiment goes wrong, makes evil rulers, make one fighter to take it all down. Typical RPG type Japanese film. But cool special effects.
Captivity - Hot and sexy Eliza Cuthbert...again, not naked, but damn close. We'll break her one of these days.
Bridge to Terabithia - I loved this film. I just wanted to see the extras since I have already seen it and cried.
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness - If you liked Castlevania: Symphony of the Night you'll like this 3D version. A little time consuming but not to bad, not fantastic either. Even though the animation for your character has him running all the time, he un-freaking-believably slow. Either that, or the map is just too huge.
Beyond Good or Evil - So far I like it...kind of. You're a journalist on a far off planet. Take picture of creature for money and to investigative work. You also have a staff to fight with (so far). I played for like 30 mins.
Kagero: Deception 2 - Kinda like Trapt only much older. You are protecting some alien race by killing people as they enter your mansion...yeah.
Deception 3: Dark Delusions - similar to Trapt and Kagero only you have to fight your way out of the mansion and then re-conquer it.

I'll be brief
I'm going tonight to Spamalot; I can see all of the Horrorfest film this weekend and go see Tori Amos on Saturday. And I have a few movies and games to watch and play for review.
The Celts - not as interesting as Sex and the Celts. Actually, it was pretty boring. It was made around the 70's in England. A lot of dry British humor thrown in with a documentary.
Sex is Zero - okay, not Japanese sexplotaion comedy but Korean. To be honest, it wasn't uber funny, but it was entertaining. It made me miss Korea as a whole. There are somethings I really did enjoy and although this film didn't flaunt those things, it still reminded me of them.
I also rented Bloodrayne 2...I know, I know. But I got a coupon in the mail for 1.99 rentals for the rest of the year at Blockbuster because my store (well, they think it is my store) is closed down. So I snagged a few to watch. Bloodrayne in the old west. This is gonna be gay.

November flix
Erotica - about a girl named Erotica (Spanish film) who steals a bunch of money with 2 guys, one of the guys gets caught and Erotica and her beau run away to a small village to sell sponges...yeah. Basically it was your run of the mill bad Latino soap opera. Except the girl of the story wore a rather extremely see through top, that is when she wasn't washing it in the lake, topless. That was about it; 90 mins of crap and an okay-lookin' topless Mexican.
Never on Sunday - old b&w film. An American goes to Greece to discover where the world went wrong. He believes Greece (and Italy, of which he combines with Greece as one country) to have been the pinnacle of civilization back in the ancient Rome days. He wants to know how did things get so bad (his prospective). He runs into Illia, a Greek whore with a heart of gold. Everybody loves Illia. She is her own boss; she decides who she will take to her bed, and she never works on Sunday. That is her day to go to the theater. Well, our American has such high morals that he takes it upon himself to 'help' her change her ways. Old b&w basics, happy people, one man thinks he knows better, changes things, everybody wants back the way it was, he learns to love life in a way he never understood before. Eh. I liked it but...well, nothing bad about it but it was saturated with Greek stereotypes. Not bad stereotypes just saturated with them.
The Dreamers - France during the Vietnam War. An American college student (who loves film), obtains 2 new friends and is brought past the edge of his sexual and moral boundaries. It was good but it was filled with everything I hated about that era (all of it political). But it did have lots of nudity, lots and lots of nudity. And since the film only revolved around 3 people, 2 boys and 1 girl, you get 2 the male nudity as you do of the women. Oh well, that's the French for you. But you do get extreme close-ups of the extremely nude Eva Green. She played Sibylla in Kingdom of Heaven and Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale.
Sex & the Celts - Documentary about the Celts, Sex, and how today's standards came to be. Very interesting actually. It was kind of odd to be aroused by a documentary. All the professionals were very into talking about it. Most of it was like "Wow, that is really cool," and the rest was like "Okay, you are getting way to excited talking about that."
I have a 2 disc documentary on just the Celts to finish and then the next batch is fully of Sexplotation Japanese Comedies. Yeah, I don't know what to make of that either.
On to this month's agenda.
I am going to Spamalot. I don't care how or when but I going. It starts tonight and ends on Sunday. Next is Horrorfest 2007. I bought my all access pass but I forgot that I had plans this Saturday night so I will have to push it to next Saturday, the Horrorfest films that is. I will be going to Tori Amos this Saturday. I have 3 days to see 4 movies before they leave the theaters. Evanesence is coming to Lincoln on November 27th. I have Double Thanksgivings. One on the Sunday before and the one out at K&C's, of which I am making my Hot Sauce recipe. Once again, a busy month.
People, I'm gonna take December off.
Never on Sunday - old b&w film. An American goes to Greece to discover where the world went wrong. He believes Greece (and Italy, of which he combines with Greece as one country) to have been the pinnacle of civilization back in the ancient Rome days. He wants to know how did things get so bad (his prospective). He runs into Illia, a Greek whore with a heart of gold. Everybody loves Illia. She is her own boss; she decides who she will take to her bed, and she never works on Sunday. That is her day to go to the theater. Well, our American has such high morals that he takes it upon himself to 'help' her change her ways. Old b&w basics, happy people, one man thinks he knows better, changes things, everybody wants back the way it was, he learns to love life in a way he never understood before. Eh. I liked it but...well, nothing bad about it but it was saturated with Greek stereotypes. Not bad stereotypes just saturated with them.
