Recently in movies Category

Ever see something and relate to it so much that you feel like it was made just for you? That's how I felt when I saw the October 29, 2008 installment of Savage Chickens:

Slasher films are one of my guilty pleasures. I enjoyed some of the old Friday the 13th and Nightmare Elm Street movies, etc. And with all the remakes of 80s horror movies in recent years, I was not surprised to learn that a Friday the 13th remake is in the works.

I will definitely see it, though whether on the big screen or DVD remains to be seen. Doubtful that I'll talk Jen into seeing it with me. I got her to see Rob Zombie's mediocre Halloween remake with me last summer, but judging by the teaser, I think that will look tame compared to the new Friday the 13th:

And another:

I was watching Meet the Parents on television the other night, and was reminded of how much this movie annoyed me. Sure it had a lot of laughs, but it really irritated me the way Ben Stiller gets walked all over by his girlfriend's family and friends, and she never stands up for him (until the end, of course).

If I was him, I would have dumped her halfway through the movie. And then I would have beaten the crap out of her family, eaten their stupid cat, and burned their house down.

The scene that irked me the most was the volley ball in the pool sequence. They're at the house of his girlfriend's ex-fiancé (Owen Wilson) playing volley ball in the pool. Owen Wilson spikes the ball right at Ben Stiller's head, nearly hitting him. The girlfriend high fives Owen Wilson and makes some idiotic reference to Top Gun. I would have dumped the bitch right there, stomped on Owen Wilson's face, and the peed in the pool.

Man that movie irritated me.

Jen made the greatest comment ever while we were watching Lethal Weapon on TV Friday night:

"I wonder if he hated the Jews when he made this movie."

I thought it was hilarious, but maybe you had to be there.
