During the last hurricane I went without power for a week and stayed at Squirrel's house to mooch of her electricity and frozen foods. We watched a lot of movies that week and here are my mini reviews for all of them:
Blood Gnome
This delightful little B movie about S&M and killer gnomes was the first movie we watched. It was pretty bad and not even as amusing as most B movies. The lead bondage chick awkwardly mentions "BDSM" in every conversation when someone else is to "shy" to say it. I fell asleep towards the end.
9 Dead Gay Guys
Just hearing the video clerk tell me "9 dead gay guys *pause* *ponders what he just said* *shakes head* 9 dead gay guys is due back monday" made renting this movie worth it. Luckily the movie turned out to be really really good. All the charecters are really interesting and fun to watch. Its pretty silly and defys logic a lot but its still an interesting treasure hunt movie.
But I'm a Cheerleader
Continuing with the Independent Queer cinema we got this movie. I had been hearing about this film since it came out but never actually had a chance to watch it. It was a great movie with lots of your typical John Waters style comedy and charecters. Rupaul playing a man who tries to teach people not to be gay is pretty funny.
Silent Night Deadly Night 5 : The Toy Maker
Back to the B Horror movies. I feel asleep 10 minutes in to this. Squirrel watched it without me when I went to class and said it wasnt worth watching. Im not suprised.
Troll
Finally a good B Horror film. I was suprised by this film because it didnt even seem to try to be horror at all. I had seen Troll 2 before this one and was expecting a film like that but the first one is actually very different. Nice movie, funny to see Elaine from Seinfeld in it.
Troll II
Double feature baby. I forgot how badly acted this one was. I hadn't seen this in 10 years and I remember loving it as a kid. As an adult I cant stand it lol.
That was about it for movies I hadnt seen before. We also watched classics like Serial Mom, Freeway, Die Mommie Die and Spinal Tap during the week.
