Built from a smouldering pile of apocalyptic cliches, this anti-religious, feminist tripe is a joke of a film.

Ralphie May: Unruly
(2015 Video)
Ralphy May Not
18 March 2015
This was the most uncomfortable stand up I've ever seen.
Not funny, foul and cringe-inducing.
I didn't have a lot of expectations. I kinda remember watching this guy once before and thought he was kinda funny.
Well, not anymore.
I can't believe that this guy is a comedian.
Releasing this upon the masses is just unkind.
I feel dirty after watching this.
My forehead hurts from cringing for an hour.
I think the cuts to the nice-looking audience are fake.
I think there is fake laughter added in post-production.
This dude has never been baked before in his life.

Evil Dead
(2013)
Not as good as original but could be worse!
11 April 2013
The original was creepy, full of gore, had bad acting, a shoe-string budget but was a hell of a lot of fun. You got an eerie feeling from the moment it starts and it does not leave you until it's over. In short, The Evil Dead (1981) is a masterpiece in horror.
Now, take that story, add a budget, some good acting, gore, but take away the eerie feeling and the fun, and you have Evil Dead the remake (reboot?).
Nowhere near as good as the original in my opinion, but for a horror or gore fan, it's definitely worth a watch for the gross out scenes alone.
I will admit there are a couple of funny moments, and I did enjoy the familiar elements from the first 2 films creeping into this new movie in various forms, but it's no original.
By today's standards a very good horror movie by far. Nothing in the last 10+ years comes close to this movie in my opinion.
But, alas, it's no Sam Raimi Evil Dead.

Repo Men
(2010)
Predictable
27 January 2013
Warning: Spoilers
The plot is implausible and has so many holes, it's hard to know where to begin.
I'll let others do this.
Sad to see this was rated a 6.3 when they completely RIPPED OFF the hallway fight scene from Oldboy.
Don't try to call it a homage as most of the American public hasn't seen Oldboy.
And guess what? Spike Lee is going to ruin it with a remake as well.
Repo Men was horrible with so many pointless deaths in a movie where one values life so much to stay alive. What about all the innocents killed? What about preserving their lives? Really? 50 people have to die because of one person wanting to stay alive? This was the hero of the story?
Give me a break with this garbage.

Rites of Spring
(2011)
Horrible Waste of Time
23 July 2012
Warning: Spoilers
It starts out bad and ends even worse.
The acting was horrible save for Anessa Ramsey and AJ Bowen. Ramsey does a great job at imitating a scream queen, but is limited by poor writing and directing. Bowen, who was terrific in The Signal, also falls prey to the writing and directing, so much so that he isn't even given an opportunity to act. Everyone else was pretty bad. Painfully bad. Like, you'd wince when they said their lines.
All of the characters did completely unrealistic things throughout the movie. If it wasn't the two girls at the beginning not noticing the guy behind them in the parking lot, then it was the girl at the end speeding away from the monster, only to pull over a few miles down the road. Also, how the hell did he catch up so fast?
Oh the 'monster'. This has got to be one of the worst monsters I've seen in quite a long time. Some guy wrapped up like the mummy wearing a mask? He's supposed to be some sort of supernatural creature who feeds on blood and...heads? Where did it come from? Why does such a creature exist? No information or background is given at all on the monster. It's called horror 101. Every monster needs a back story.
Speaking of back stories, NONE of the characters had them. Well, just the poor slob with the hot girlfriend who got fired from his job. There was no motivation for most of these characters. There were just there and that's it. Some of them were even throwaway characters, (younger brother of the slob, older sister of he kidnap victim, the mother of the kidnap victim).
The plot twist? Huh? You can't have a plot twist without explaining why the character did what they did. Case in point: the older daughter was young, very good looking and rich to boot. Yet, she hooks up with an old, ugly broke guy who would obviously kill his own Mother without a second thought. Not only that but she kills her own Father? Why would she do all of this? For a lousy 2 million? Was she abused? A drug addict? I guess it's a mystery.
The main plot is...well there really isn't one. Basically a monster kills everyone in it's path and we hope that the girl either stops him for good or gets away. Here's the part that makes absolutely NO SENSE: The old man is killing girls to feed the creature so the...creature...doesn't...kill girls himself? Huh? In the end, she cuts the monster with his axe and he bleeds all over, then she runs on foot covered head to toe in blood, down the road as the sun begins to rise, which is a direct ripoff of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The screen goes black.
Did the monster get back up? Did she get away?
Seriously, who cares?
