Wrong Turn (2003)
All the old favourites in a modern day film...
Okay, lets not sit here pretending that this film's going to be anything outrageously new and original. In fact, if this film had been made in the early 80s it probably would have been instantly dismissed as another in the long line of the slasher films churned out in this era. In reality, "Wrong Turn" is exactly that, a run-of-the-mill "stuck in the wild" horror movie. However, the fact it is recently made makes it all the more endearing. It seems no horror film is safe as "Wrong Turn" borrows all your favorite scenes from the likes of "Just Before Dawn", "The Hills Have Eyes", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Friday the 13th" and "The Burning". Another factor that makes "Wrong Turn" all the more interesting is that it mostly takes place at day, has some unexpected twists and is fast-paced, short and sharp. All in all, fans of the genre will love this, especially fans of 1980s horror cinema. Casual movie fans should be cautious however, the gore, although not common, is quite explicit!
Married... with Children Reunion (2003)
Fans will love it!
Ah, Married... With Children, the brainchild of Ron Leavitt and Michael G. Moye, is credited as the show that practically started the Fox network, and over its ten year run its a fair assumption it generated a large fan-base - evident by the nostalgic web-pages on the internet even today, six years after the original run. Perhaps one of the most popular sitcoms to come out of the 1980s, fans across the world were shocked to here of its cancellation in 1997. But, as any MwC fan will tell you, February 2003 saw an hour special, with all of the seven cast members (yep, even David Garrison was back!). The original show itself, I have to admit, although completely un-PC and generally crude and offensive, was completely fantastic, and from this documentary it's obvious the people in it share fond memories of the days when the Bundy's ruled the air. Fans will love to see the guys all back together, and it's great to some of the classic clips all together. Only problem? Perhaps a little more new footage rather than the old would have been great, but, who's complaining? After six years without the Bundy's, it's a welcome return!
