Jacobs Ladder..Watch this one alone and in the dark!

The movie “Jacobs Ladder“utterly scared the crap out of me. This movie is really trippy and if you want a good scare, watch this movie alone and in the dark. I seen this movie over 15 years ago and have not watched it since and I think it’s time for a good scare.

 

            I’m not going to get into any detail concerning the movie although it is wonderfully edited together, acting is superb, cinematography is awesome and shows some of the most horrifying images strait out of a nightmare. Although, the movie takes a turn of events and a heartwarming twist that will leave at least a tear in your eye. It is still very scary.

            I’m not one to scare easy, but I know for certain if I compared this movie to the “Exorcist” it holds its own.

This is my last and final blog concerning movies, television and the likes of other things compiled for my film class. Thank you for glancing over my bologna and reading my run on sentences , fragmentation and other horrible sentence structures that make no sense what so ever.

Heureuse Nouvelle Année!

If it wasn't for Family Guy, I would (fill in blank)

“Family Guy” has to be one of the most vulgar shows I’ve seen on late night television. I’m not saying that it’s bad; in fact the show is hella funny.  I have seen more controversial stuff that makes you wonder how the show gets away with it, but then again there are a lot of shows now a days that push the limit.

The reason why I enjoy this show is because no matter how profane, crazy and off the wall the show gets, there is humor involved that’s guaranteed to make you laugh. Every character on “Family Guy” has performed some sort of gag that leaves you cracking the hell up. But be forewarned, this show does not hold back on some pretty low blows.

What Makes The Walking Dead? Neorealism

I have always contemplated what makes George Romero’ s classic Zombie Films replay value so high and why the Walking Dead is such a great T.V Series that always leaves you in suspense wanting more. The answer is Neorealism...

If you can recall from my previous post of what is Neorealism is, basically it’s the happy ending that never happens.  Or in other words...an Open Ended Plot/ Open ended Story.  Watch the movie “The Bicycle Thief”.

 

First off, the Walking Dead T.V. series starts off with Rick Grimes going into a coma (Conflict #1).  He wakes from the coma to find that the world has turned to shit with a bunch of puss heads walking around eating the flesh of the living  (or what’s left of the living)(#1 Overall Conflict that will never be resolved which is the open ended plot).  He then seeks out to find his wife and son (Conflict #2). I hope this clarifies what I mean about the open ended plots because its finals week and I’m not about to explain it all.

So, to some up what makes this show so awesome is that it keeps the viewer wondering what’s going to happen next. Will they live? Who’s going to die next?  Will they find their happy paradise free of zombies? Will humanity ever be the same? I can go on forever, but this is the just of what makes the show so awesome.

The Walking Dead returns in February. Happy Valentine’s Day to me!

 

 

Spartacus- would have never thought?

Overhearing one of my friends about how he walked in on his parents watching this show Spartacus. He went on to say that the show had nudity and strong sexual content but at the same time all the blood and gore and action that takes place during the Roman Empire. Well after much deliberation and also the fact that the mid season of "The Walking Dead" had just ended, I decided to see if this show is all that it is cracked out to be...to my surprise it is!

Spartacus is like a combination of 300 mixed with Gladiator all rolled up into one. The show has some really good visual effects and the story is really strong. So far I am on episode 7 of the first season of Spartacus: Blood and Sand. So all and all, this show should tidy my over until "The Walking Dead" returns in February!
