Grease (1978)

Grease is the word!

[10/10 · 25 July 2003]

Anyone who doesn't like this movie should have their head checked. It rocks. You all wish you could be in a greaser gang and break out into song whenever the mood is right. Hell yeah! All hail Danny Zuccho! and the T-Birds!

Wrong Turn (I) (2003)

Not a bad waste of time...

[29 May 2003]

I went into the screener of WRONG TURN not expecting much. After the film was over, I was pleasantly surprised. The plot has been recycled a few times, but this version of the "kids stranded in the woods" scenario has some good points. We have seen this before in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and more recently in X-Files Episode "Home". A group of young adults are stranded deep in the woods of West Virginia, and are hunted by a "family of cannibalistic freaks. Wrong Turn is very predictable, and the gore is abundant, but the film is delivered in an in-your-face style, which kept me interested. The acting is on par with most slasher flicks, which is good enough to get the point across. All in all, it was a good waste of a boring thursday evening.

I do want to spoil much, but the tree top chase is very well done. Any fan of the genre might be surprised by Wrong Turn...I was.
