The Last House on the Left

SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE - Crazy kim chee Korean movie about revenge. Pretty sick, but somehow entertaining stuff. I often wonder how people can be so demented. Kinda scary. Any one of those meat jun-selling Yobos could whip out a knife and stab you in the eye. I actually think that the moral of this movie was that seeking revenge against somebody isn't all that it's cut out to be. Not only was the violence crazy, but there was a sex scene which kinda turned me on...I mean, off. Can't fault this movie for taking vengeance to a whole new sick level...

LADY VENGEANCE - Guess who directed this crazy-a$$ movie? You guessed it. Same 'ol Daniel Dae Kim-ish dude. Check the review above. And you thought the last movie was sick. This is like a sequel, but not really. Same theme. Same director. The final installment of his revenge trilogy. OLDBOY is the middle one that I haven't seen yet. I heard that it's the nastiest one of the three. Anyway, Lady Vengeance upped the SAW factor that was introduced in the first movie. Again, I don't know how this guy comes up with this stuff. The messed-up thing is I know some of these ideas exist in the back, dark recesses of everyone's minds. You sick f@cks!! I know if I feel cheated, I sometimes want justice in the worst way. Just saying. I highly recommend both movies...

THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT - What's wrong with us? We might as well go watch a stoning. Another sick, horror flick. Another guilty pleasure. Hey...this movie was about revenge, too. Didn't mean to go on a revenge binge. Just happened that way. Who's offended me lately? Better watch your a$$!! Great movie. The kind where you're a little embarrassed cheering for the heroes to kill the bad guys. What's wrong with cheering for the good guys, right? Scary thing is that what happens in this movie could happen to anybody. Might've been even based on a true story. I can't remember. Another recommend for the truly perverse...

ADVENTURELAND - Ryan Reynolds. That TWILIGHT girl was in it, too. A coming-of-age 80's movie about growing up, dating, rumors, and what happens when you hang out with and ooof the people that you work with. This was an independent flick, and I loved the whole vibe of it. Feels like what really goes on when you start working in your teenage/college years. The whole theme park atmosphere was a plus, too. You get the whole back-story on some of the characters, which makes you realize that, like in real life, you never know what the hell's going on in someone's life that makes them the way they are. Once in awhile, gotta go for the mature, artsy, character-study flick. And this one was smart and funny to boot...

I LOVE YOU, MAN - Beautiful was laughing her a$$ off at this one. Paul Rudd. Jason Segel (the hilarious guy with the frontal nudity in FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL). Rashida Jones (who my wife had to, for some reason, identify as Quincy Jones' daughter). It's about this guy who's getting married who doesn't really have any male friends. Rudd plays the part to perfection, complete with fake-male-machismo. Awkwardly, funny stuff. Ever thought how hard it would be to be a guys' guy if it didn't come naturally to you? I mean, without being like a full-blown f@g? I think that a lot of things guys take for granted that are unique to our gender are explored in this movie in a comedic way. Pretty humorous $hit. Had a good laugh. Had a good time with my wife. Light, entertaining movie. Very relaxing. The kind I like, but haven't seen in awhile...


All five movies were good. I give it a full fist up...your bush...power to the people...
