Teeth

What starts out as a creepy, religious type infomercial for abstinence, quickly turns into a crazy affair.

This chick is uncomfortable with her body, knowing there is something wrong with her. Something that isn't normal. She takes a vow of abstinence and is a public speaker at her school about it. While she is speaking the "new guy" at school takes a liking to her, and then her vow of abstinence is called into question when she realizes her panties are getting wet at the sight of the dudes incredibly shitty haircut.

What happens next when things get taken a little further than she would like, was ridiculous.

I knew the premise of the movie before watching so I had an idea of what was going to happen. Knowing, and then seeing it in action is a completely different thing. It was even nastier than I expected. The editor of the movie did such a good job of waiting, and then waiting, and waiting, until finally waiting a little bit longer, before showing the horrible aftermath of what happens when she realizes she can use her deformaty to protect herself.

It was pretty gruesome. While the idea is freaky and disgusting, there was still plenty of humor in itself. The movie played itself out not taking itself too seriously, yet at the same time being incredibly uncomfortable and repulsive all at the same time.

I was glued to the couch, waiting to see who was next in line.

Each time delivered the total package (ha!) and left me cringing, even though it was warranted behaviour.

Definately check it out. The amount they show was surprising, but at the same time I am glad the prosthetics department (or the sausage cart) got so much action in the movie.

As far as the teeth themselves, those are still left to the imagination.

Good stuff

Get Rich, or Die Tryin'

This is a loosely based look at the life and times of 50 Cent.

I will be the first to say, I HATE MOVIES, TV SHOWS, OR ANYTHING AT ALL GLORIFYING THE THUG LIFE.

Movies like this give pieces of shit like the kid who robbed me the idea that they too can deal drugs, shoot people, and be involved with murders and still grow up to be a rousing success, sell millions of albums, and all of a sudden become a good citizen.

Seeing exactly what transpired in his young life, obviously it IS an eye opener to see what some of these kids go through. What is mind boggling to me though is that these kids think they have to become a gangsta, or they have to hustle to make money and be a general menace to society, get it?

These kids who saw this movie in hopes of seeing their hero realize the american dream are fucked. His story isn't of inspiration as much as a guy that went through a ton of shit, realized he made tremendously poor choices, and nearly got himself killed in the process.

Is this what people want to aspire to be? Low life drug runners working for murderers and thugs? It makes no sense.

Does it mean the movie is bad? Absolutely not. I was interested and entertained throughout. If this was a purely fictional tale I wouldn't have any real qualms with the idea that this fictional character got his revenge on his mothers killer by making music, but since I know what has happened since, where this guy is a huge celebrity, has glorified and made bullet proof vests a fashion statement and made millions on the fact he survived an assasination attempt.

Maybe I am just jealous of these people who are doing things the "wrong way" and getting million dollar mansions, mercedes, and the fine ass bitches they wants. Meanwhile I am sitting here struggling to make a peanut butter sandwich.

Nah, joking aside, it is very entertaining, and I liked it and was interested in what would happen, even though I knew the ending already.

I just wish some of these people would actually be a positive influence on these kids. Maybe its because theres been an unbelievable amount of gang related violence in my city or what have you. None of them will ever compare with Boyz N' the Hood. Increase the Peace!

The Warriors

I first saw this movie when I was 12 or so. My aunt had the video lying around and I borrowed it and checked it out.

The movie has obviously dated itself with some of the horrendous hairstyles and music. Not saying the music is bad because I love synthesizers and stuff like that, but gigantic white guy fros, and shaggy hair look terrible, even now with shithead cool kids bringing them back.

What I do like is that the whole concept is still something people can relate to today. Getting from point A to point B while you have every gang in NYC after you is self explanatory.

I like the majority of the fights. They arent anything insane by todays standards, but I am sure at the time this was cutting age fight choreography. Another thing about the movie aging not so gracefully...

Were gangs in the 70's really this ridiculous? I like the Baseball Furies as much as the next guy, but lets be realistic, would anyone actually dress that way? How about the Hi-Hats, or the numerous other stupid gimmicky gangs in the movie.

I like a lot of the characters, although the stupid wuss guy in the Warriors is a waste, and I HATE the romance aspect that came along when the Warriors stole the Orphans bitch. A movie like this doesn't really need a romantic story and it honestly slows it down a little. At the same time some the other cut aways in the story slow down too when the Warriors meet up with the Lizzies. Is it too much to ask for a movie with guys fucking each other up and needing to get home doesn't involve a nasty whore? I like girls flashing their tits and being hookers in these movies, but as far as romance, beat it.

Even though its dated, and could actually benefit from a "reimagining" or a modernizing of the movie, I recommend checking out one of the first movies to cause a huge stink at the box office with people actually getting killed at the theatre. Crazy.
