Jeepers Creepers
Jeepers Creepers was released in 2001. It was directed by Victor Salava and stars Justin Long, Gina Philips, Jonathan Breck.
Lastnight I decideded to watch a horror movie with my sons. I picked Jeepers Creepers. I completely forgot how good this movie is. Right from the begining the acting drew you in. Justin Long and Gina Philips are very believable as brother and sister. They play these little games and such that a brother and sister would play. The car chase scenes are very intense and at times are remeniscent of the old Mad Max movie. The truck that the Creeper drives is dark and spookey. When you see the shadowy figure of the Creeper he is very manacing. The gore is great and so are all of the special effects. The reveal of the Creepers face is very impactful. The movie overall is very solid, even though it's only been 10 years the movie is holding up very well, the acting is great the story has no obvious plot holes and the directing is good. Ufortunately the writer/director is a convicted pediphile and over all piece of shit, look him up.
I give this movie 8 out of 10 stars.

My Soul to Take / Wes Craven
My soul to take was written and directed by Wes Craven it stars Max Thierot, Jon Magaro, and Denzel Whitaker. It was released in 3d in 2010.
This movie was very, very sloppy. It's full of horror movie cliches, it has a horrible and unbelivable plot, it has far to many twists and has shotty direction.Wes Craven where have you gone? He hasn't made a good movie since 1996. Since then he's put out such gems as Cursed, Screams 2 & 3, Red Eye, and Music of the Heart. And next year we get Scream 4. WTF Wes? Give it up already. You had a good run now stick to producing. My soul to take managed to rip off just about every slasher movie since the 80's. There's not a second of originality. This movie was probably meant to go straight to video, but instead the studios wanted to cash in on Cravens tarnished name and this new 3D movement. This movie is worth noones time. If you've seen Shocker, and A Nightmare on Elm St. than you've seen this.
I give this movie 3 out of 10 stars

Let Me In
Let me in was made in 2010 and is a remake of the 2008 Sweedish film Let the right one in. This film stars Kodi Smit-Mcphee, Chloe Moretz, and Richard Jenkins. It tells the story a bullied 12 year old boy and the new friend that moves in next door.
This movie was a joy to watch, it's alittle slow at times but by no means boring. It dosen't get all lovey dovey and stupid like the recent vampire movies that we've been subjected to. The acting is very good and there's plenty of gore. The one complaint that I have is that the cgi was not believable at all. The plot was very interesting. There are plenty of characters that are convincing in there roles and the director get's you to sympathize with what's supposed to be the villan. This movie works for men and women. It is shot very well and captures the desolate feel of a small empty town. I would definetly recomend this movie.
I give this movie 7 out of 10 stars.

Why Korn, Why?
Let's go back to mid 1995. I was sitting at my dads girlfriends watching Beavis and Butthead and they started playing a video from some band named Korn. Here's these grungy, unshaven, dreadheaded guys rocking the adidas apperal. Then I hear "are you ready" then great chaos ensues. It was like that 1st puff off of a crack pipe, that 1st shot of heroine into your viens. I was hooked. I spent the next 3 years looking for everything that had Korn's name on it. I bought soundtracks, oversea imports, posters, home videos, and concert bootlegs. When Life is Peachy came out I was very happy to hear it. Granted you could tell that it was put together very fast and wasn't as well produced as thier debut album, but follow up album very rarely live up to the debuts. Then in 1998 I started reading things that were very disturbing. I read that Korn had gotten rid of super producer Ross Robinson, I read that Korn wasn't gonna wear adidas antmore becuase puma gave them a chunk of money, and I read that they were gonna work with Ice Cube on the new album. WTF! Then comes the album Follow the Leader with the first single Got the Life. Needless to say Korn had sold out and I was sick to my stomach. All of a sudden Korn was all over MTV wich was contrary to what they were syain in interviews two years prior. They said they would never make a video for MTV becuase MTV wouldn't play the videos from the first two albums. Then I see Jonathan Davis saying that they were responsable for creating the rap/rock hybrid. Are you fucking serious? Is he stupid or did he miss the whole Run DMC/Areosmith thing? What about 2Live Crew and Motley Crew working together? In the early 90's rappers from Detroits underground like Esham and Kid Rock were fusing rock guitars with synthetic bass beats. Shit even Rage Against the Machine were putting out almbums before Korn. What I'm trying to say is that Davis cannot take credit for a natural progression in music. After Follow the Leader Korn put out Issues, Untouchables, Take a Look in the Mirror, See You on the Other Side, and an untittled album. All of wich were horrible! If you look hard enough you can find a good track here and there. Korn sold out for quick money and to become MTV buzz worthy. They lost all of there hardcore fans and replaced them with a bunch of teenybopin little girls all of wich have grown up and gotten past Korn. So now Korn has become a thing of the past. They've become that question, "hey remember". One band member destroyed his brain with meth and thinks god talks to him at night and adopted half of India. Another left the band to focus on modeling and his sushi bar. So what do the remaining members do? They rehire the super producer Ross Robinson and proclaim that they're gonna get back to the basics in an atempt to regain thier hardcore fans. Well they did get very basic and bland with there new album Korn III. It sucks! And it's too late! You sold out Korn, you broke our hearts and our trust. I'm sure Korn will keep putting out shitty albums and killing time until they can put together a reunion tour in wich all those former teenybopers who loved Follow the Leader will find baby sitters and drag there corprate tie wearing husbands to go see. To sum it all up FUCK YOU KORN!!!!!!!

The Human Centipede First Sequence 2009
The Human Centipede is the first in a trilogy from writer director Tom Six. It stars Dieter Laser, Ashley Williams, Ashlyn Yennie, and Akihiro Kitamura. This film was made in 2009 but didn't get a wide release until 2010.
The Human Centipede is a complete waste of time! The story line is preposterous, the acting is dreadfull, and the special effects are week. The movie starts off full of inconsistancies, like the trucker that has a walking lead on the villan but aparently he walks very slow or the windshield wipers going but no rain on the window. When the girls are driving in the car sometimes it's rainning, sometimes it's not. And yes there are some sick people in this world, but I doubt that anyone would try to do what this guy did. Even if someone did it just wouldn't work. It wouldn't take much effort to pull your mouth off of someones anus, sewed on or not. This movie is trying to cash in with shock value, but once you get past the whole ass to mouth thing there's absolutly no substance. It's horribly written, horribly directed, and horribly acted. The only reason to watch it would be to see something different and to be able to say you saw it.
I give this movie 2 out 10 stars.

Top 10 Albums
10: Fantomas Directors Cut- When Mike Patton takes themes from movies and puts his twist on them greatness ensues. It dosen't hurt to have King Buzz and Dave Lombardo help either.
9: Black Sabath Paranoid- The Godfathers of metal got it right with thier second album.
8: System of a Down Mezmerize- This was a bit different than thier first 3 albums. They took what they learned and turned it into pure brilliance.
7: Korn Korn- This has been credited for starting the "nu metal" trend of the mid to late 90's. Unfortunatly Korn would sell out 2 albums later and never be the same again.
6: Guns n Roses Appitite for Destruction- I credit this album for helping get rid of the happy go lucky crap they called glam rock. It went back to the grime that's supposed to be rock n roll.
5: Pantera Far Beyond Driven- This was the first tru metal album to debut at #1 on the billboard chart. Mainly becuase Skid Row is not metal.Look it up.
4: Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon- This album holds the record for most time spent on the billboard charts and for good reason.
3: Mr. Bungle California- This is Mike Pattons finest work to date and that's saying alot.
2: Dog Fashion Disco Adultry- This album is hypnotizing, you'll find yourself waking up singing songs from it. It also has the most beautiful song ever recorded on it. "sweet insanity"
1: Tool Aenima- What can I say, pure genius at work here. This album is by far the best ever made. From begining to end. I could listen to this every day.
Honorable mentions:
Marilyn Manson Anti-Christ Superstar
The Doors The Doors
Led Zepplin Houses of the Holy
Deftones Adrenalin

I Spit on Your Grave (2010 remake)
I Spit on Your Grave is a remake of the 1978 rape revenge classic. The 2010 version is directed by Steven R. Monroe and stars Daniel Franzese, Sara Butler, and Chad Lindenberg. It's slated for a dvd release on Feb. 8th in the U.S. and is currently unrated.
Let me start by saying that when it comes to remakes I try to keep an open mind and a seperation between the remake and the original, becuase in most cases the remake has no chance of living up to the original (with the exception of The Hills Have Eyes). That being said, this movie is fucking awesome! It is defenitly not for the squeamish. The rape sceenes are dulled down a bit from the original, but the revenge kills are way more thoughtful, brutal, and graphic. This movie on it's own is an instant classic. Too many times these days Hollywood has taken great horror movies and destroyed them, case in point being Last House on the Left. But with I Spit on Your Grave they managed to knock it out of the park. There was good acting from the cast, a believable plot and the director manages to suck you into the movie. The only thing it misses is the dirty, grimey feeling that the original captured. Anyone that was a fan of the original will defenitly enjoy this movie. Hopefuly it will influence other film makers and they will realize that you don't need a big hollywood budget or backing to make great horror. Monroe the director defenitly gets back to the basics with this. True old school horror. There is way too much cgi in todays horror movies. Props to Monroe, I can't wait for his next movie.
I give I Spit on Your Grave 8 out of 10 stars.
