Hee.

I just watched House of Bones, which I thought isn't as terrible some people make it out to be. It's actually decent enough for a straight-to-TV feature, and the script had a few legitimately genuine moments. When it came to the gore and effects, it's not that bad. Though the script does falter on the internal logic and in explaining things in exposition.

I'm not aware of that one, I'll have to look into it. I like movies with legitimately genuine moments.

Uh-huh.

Well, it got a lot of bad reviews, but personally, I didn't think it was as bad as some people described it to be. Not terrific, but not THAT bad either.

Although, it has Charisma Carpenter in it, so I'm sure you'll enjoy.

What are you trying to say?

Anchor Bay Announces Both I Spit on Your Grave DVD/Blu-rays
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
By: MrDisgusting


In 1978, Meir Zarchi’s I Spit On Your Grave shocked audiences all over the world. Critics reviled it, but audiences embraced its “Day of the Woman” empowerment message.

Three decades later, lightning struck again with the 2010 remake, which shocked 21st century moviegoers.



Now, Anchor Bay Entertainment completes the grisly circle of revenge with the February 8, 2011 release of the unrated I Spit On Your Grave – both the 1978 original classic and the state-of-the-art 2010 remake on high-definition Blu-ray and DVD.

This release marks the U.S. Blu-ray debut of the original cult classic.










Produced by CineTel Films’ Lisa Hansen and Paul Hertzberg in association with Anchor Bay Films, and directed by Steven R. Monroe, 2010’s I Spit On Your Grave tells the story of Jennifer Hills (Sarah Butler), a city girl who rents an isolated cabin in the country to write her latest novel.

On one terrifying evening, a group of local lowlifes break into the cabin, overpower and assault Jennifer, ultimately leaving her for dead. But Jennifer miraculously survives her ordeal; consumed with hell-borne vengeance for those who so violated her, she repays their heinous acts in gruesome ways that these lowlifes never thought imaginable.



The cast includes:

Jeff Branson (“The Young and the Restless”)
Daniel Franzese (Mean Girls, Bully)
Rodney Eastman (A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 & 4)
Chad Lindberg (“Supernatural,” The Fast and the Furious)
Tracey Walter (Erin Brockovich, Batman, Repo Man)
and Andrew Howard (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen).


Meir Zarchi, the writer/producer/director of the 1978 original, served as Executive Producer.









Unlike with the original film, mainstream and genre critics alike have embraced the new version from the very beginning.


The New York Times called it “extremely efficient grindhouse,” while New York Magazine’s David Edelstein extolled “Each killing is as protracted, humiliating, ingenious, gory and downright poetic as any I’ve seen, and I’ve seen it all.”


Bloody-Disgusting’s Brad Miska said “The audience gasped, screamed and cheered as they watched Sarah Butler drop the axe on her assailants,” while Rue Morgue Magazine declared it “a cinematic bulldozer…it handily trumps the original in the ferocious revenge sequences.”







Bonus features on the 2010 I Spit On Your Grave Blu-ray and DVD include:

- a filmmakers commentary track with Hansen and Monroe
- an in-depth behind-the-scenes featurette
- the original theatrical teaser and trailer
- deleted scenes
...and much more






The 1978 I Spit On Your Grave Blu-ray features:

- an all-new high definition transfer
- an all-new interview with writer/producer/director Meir Zarchi about the making of this infamous cinematic landmark and its legacy for the past three decades

Sorry, what? I got distracted by the nice, er, bum.

Isn't that my line?

I thought you were more into fruit?

No, I said her name was Cherry.

Didn't you say you preferred melons?

I said she has nice melons.

There was a movie that came out before this that was similar to this called House By The Lake. Same premise. I remember watching it as a double bill with The Fog.

Yes, it came out in 1976.... I have it under the title Death Weekend.

IMDb The Rocky Horror Picture Show



The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the greatest rock musical of all time. It succeeds on every aesthetic level; the cast is a wonderful collection of cartoonish eccentrics, the premise combines the adventurousness of experimental theater (The Rocky Horror Show) with the fun of film and musical popular culture, the songs are all catchy and beautifully arranged, and the costumes and sets are inventively quirky.

The overwhelming creativity of the film has its roots in the hit London stage musical, Richard O'Brien's exuberant first work. After quitting the cast of Jesus Christ Superstar over creative differences, O'Brien set out to write a rock musical that would combine all the things that "give you a buzz," from science-fiction and horror films to comedy and glam rock. Impressed by Alice Cooper's recent concert assaults on London, O'Brien created what he originally called an "Alice Cooper type Frankenstein" character named Dr. Frank-N-Furter, who would build a blond muscleman for his own pleasure. Tim Curry assumed the role in the 1973 London play, sharing the stage with O'Brien, Little Nell, Patricia Quinn and Jonathan Adams. Behind the scenes were director Jim Sharman, production designer Brian Thomson, musical arranger Richard Hartley and costume designer Sue Blane, all of whom brought their considerable creativity to the production. The core members of the Rocky Horror stage family went on to create the film, building on a year's worth of theatrical innovation.

Transferring Rocky Horror to the medium of film allowed the concept to take on a dreamlike quality. The film's tone is satire; Richard O'Brien enjoyed the dialogue of classic science-fiction films, where actors were called on to say outlandish lines with straight faces. The songs are integrated (not "backstage") musical numbers, which advance the plot. All of the characters are seduced or controlled by Frank, but his influence does not end with them. The film is at its most subversive when Frank talks and sings directly to the camera; the technique is a tribute to Jean-Luc Godard, Jim Sharman's favorite director.

In the film, "Sweet Transvestite" Frank is given a glamorous, Joan Crawford-like film star appearance, and speaks in a feminine voice (with an upper-class Knightsbridge accent). When he/she gazes into the camera and beckons "Give yourself over to absolute pleasure," his message is not meant only for his poolside partners, but for us. As the bisexual mad doctor commences his final descent into decadence, his "moral" subduers are portrayed as similarly decadent hypocrites, offering up Frank as a sexual martyr. We are left in the swirling mists with Brad, Janet and Dr. Scott, forced to reconsider our own inhibitions. But first, Let's do the Time Warp again!

Did you see its sequel Shock Treatment?


MTV is working on a remake to Rocky Horror...

Crap!! One more episode left for The Walking Dead and I just found out there doing a Fright Night remake. Ugh!

Yeah, I've known about the Fright Night remake for awhile. Eh, what else is new, it's safe to say if it's from the 70's or 80's, and popular, it will get remade!

Awesome!
