Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (2004)
I don't like Metallica...this movie proves that!
I use to LOVE Metallica, in 7th grade I read a 250 page biography about the band and did a book report on it. So I really "knew" the band, as in, I knew their history, I read just about every statement made by any members, I knew all their albums etc. Yeah, I was a little obsessive (now it's The Residents) anyway, I didn't care too much for the Black Album when that came out and disliked the whole "Load" thing so much that I lost total interest. Then S$M. Then Napster. Yeah, I've come to truly hate this band. (now for the movie) This movie is documentation that Metallica ('cept maybe Jason) are all such ego maniacs that they can't even talk to each other (without hiring a shrink for $44,000 a month) yet alone communicate well enough to collectively write music together. The only way I could see someone liking Metallica after this, is if they are the kind of person who just likes "stars" and sees no problem with big money bull and giant egos. I know a lot of these people exist, otherwise we wouldn't have shows like Hard Copy or Celebrity Justice, and that sucks, because that means that Metallica still has a fan base, and that means Metallica will continue to disgrace the public buy putting out more (in Lars' own words) stock material! 1/10
August Underground's Mordum (2003)
Blew me away!
I'm going to make this real short, because I know ya'll know enough about this movie already. All I'm going to say is that I'm an extreme gore/horror/exploitation etc. fan, if it's gross or morally challenging, I'm all over it and loving it. This movie truly challenged my ability to handle a movie, I watched it alone (well, two people were asleep in the room but...) and I was making noises of discontent and disgust. I actually had to stop the VCR twice, and ask myself if I really wanted to go on. I made it through the full flick, but, I felt like I was being punished for all terrible movies and music I've subjected myself to for the last 10 years of my life! 10/10
Tales from the Cannibal Side (1998)
No Thanx!
I love gore, movies. Even more-so I like cannibal gore movies. I did not like Tales... though. All of the stories were just boring, and the effects were just lame. I usually love that in a film but just didn't do it for me, I even tried to watch it again (I didn't get past the first story) just to see if it caught me in the wrong mood, still sucked. All I could think was "why, why was this made", it just didn't seem like they had fun making it, like they were all just there to make a buck, and making gore movies isn't the way to go for money, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE ART!
