Review of Alter Egos: Sort Of.

    ' All Superheroes Must Die' is a dvd I picked up at walmart cos' my good buddy Luciano recommended it. And because I am a crazy comic book nerd , more insane than a trekkie , or a Star Wars geek , or anime fan ; now those people are real assholes , or any other freak you can think of. I am very knowledgeable about comic books even though I don't really buy the new ones but I do have a couple of dumptrucks worth of comics and I get a ton more from the library and now we've had alot of comicbook movies come out. It's weird being 37 yrs old and seeing all these comic book movies coming out. Movies that I would have went apeshit over when I was 12 or 13 and the fact that they finally made a Wolverine movie does not excite as much as re-reading his first 4 issue limited series from the 80's. But I am still interested in these movies so I grabbed this "ALL SUPERHEROES MUST DIE' and then I went to Blockbuster and they had this movie called "ALTER EGOS'. Hmm. So I rented it. and it kind of sucked but it was kind of cool only because I love comix so much. Kevin Smith had a hand in this release but "ALTER EGOS' pissed me off a tiny bit because the Superheroes kind of sucked. Sure they did have powers and their costumes were not completely lame but the two in the movie , Refridgerator and C-Thru were kind of jerks and they were not tough or very heroic , resourceful , or cool. Guys like Snake Pliskin  or 'Mad' Max Rockatansky would have eaten these guys's lunch! "ALTER EGOS' was more a comedy and I knew that but at least make the heroes badass. They were shitty heroes , the one , C-Thru had a utility belt but never used anything out of it and the Fridge guy was a little weasle type guy. And when I think about it ; and I am speculating here ,I think that the director is not a comic book fan and has no respect for comic books and I think he saw THE DARK KNIGHT , THE WATCHMEN  , and KICK-ASS and thought that a comic book movie wouldbe a good/easy genre to make a movie in and push his own agenda. I could be wrong. Probably not though. But it got me to rent this movie .  I saw "ALL SUPERHEROES MUST DIE' and I have also seen 'SUPER' and "DEFENDOR" and I will review 'ALL SUPERHEROES MUST DIE" soon. But only see ALTER EGOS if you a super comic book fan like me and dislike it. -Arty

War Of The Dead dvd review

    Man , there is a shitload of zombie movies coming out and there are about 4 , maybe 5 , Nazi zombie movies out now. Seems like DEAD SNOW was the first most recent one and started the trend and I thought WAR OF THE DEAD was pretty good. On the cover it says , "Like an episode of Band Of Brothers with zombies." , and on the back of the dvd box it reads , "Mixes slices of The Dirty Dozen with Day Of The Dead." Well , which DAY OF THE DEAD? The Romero one or the re-make? But it's like they're just cross naming movies to make WAR OF THE DEAD sound like it's some fantastic war/zombie movie. Here , I got one , " It's Saving Private Ryan meets Night Of The Living Dead. The original Night Of The Living Dead!" So it made me think WAR OF THE DEAD was gonna suck really bad but I thought it was pretty exciting. The movie looks good too ,it looks like it could have come out in theaters and WAR OF THE DEAD fall more on the side of action than horror and the makers of this film did it pretty good. The zombies are fast movers and they do eat human flesh but it's not gory , not really ,  but that did not bother me ; I got into the movie and it was a fun ride.  But it doesn't try to be cheezy , funny ; it's not a B-movie , it tries to be a serious movie and I think it succeeds for the most part and I would watch it again and I might buy it if I could find it for $8.00 or less. And it has a cool dvd cover that the movie lives up to. _arty

OSOMBIE DVD Review

     Osama Bin Ladin is a zombie! I saw this movie on the shelf at Ballbuster and had to get it. But with so many zombie flix pouring onto  the horror scene like black blood from the eyesockets , mouth , and nostrils of a undead evil priest , I guess it was inevitable they would make a movie like this. Troma really missed the bus on this one didn't they?   But it's  not the grade B schlockfest I thought it could have been but for what it is it's still decent. They kill a fuckload of zombies and even though pretty much all of the zombie headhits , bodyhits , and full zombie explosions are done with cgi they didn't bother me that much cos' they looked pretty good for the most part. But you only see Bin Ladin in the very beginning and the very end and at the end he looks pretty freaky , scary , gross , and I could tell they used a animatronic puppet for his final scene. 
    So on one hand OSOMBIE is a competent action/zombie flick , and it does have some good humorous moments but it doesn't go for the throat with the Osama as a zombie thing or make fun of terrorists like you think it would. But if you like these movies you kind of have to see it just to say you saw it and confirm your own thoughts on it. I wish it woulda been like EVIL DEAD 2 , ZOMBIE 3 , or as offensive as STREET TRASH! What do you want out of a movie called OSOMBIE? *arty

APOCALYPSE OF THE DEAD Review

    Grabbed this one after werk , hungry & tired and wanted to knock out another zombie movie on my neverending gorequest. And APOCALYPSE OF THE DEAD delivered the goods on the blood n' gore and even a little night time foggy atmosphere! It does lay on the corpses shambling through the night time mist as thick as I would have liked but that's what I wanted to see and I got some of that.
    The voices of some of the actors are dubbed and it reminded me of HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD and ZOMBI 3 a lil' it with that and that just made it better! And it has Ken Foree. When I first saw him in DAWN OF THE DEAD he was so strong , and a tough badass and now with him coming out in Rob Zombie movies he's kind of become a asshole but in APOCALYPSE OF THE DEAD he plays it as a straight law n' order type goodguy and gets a little of his dignity back as a hero And there's a girl that looks like Katja Kassin , Eurpoean porn princess! Plus a shitload of good gore made APOCALYPSE OF THE DEAD very enjoyable and my only problem is that it was a little longer than I think it needed to be but worth seeing and even owning if ya could find it cheap. *Arty

SICK BOY.....SICK THINGS!

    Now this one got me writin'! In my gorequest I been rentin' movies like a madman and gettin' all kindsa SHIT! So I grabbed this SICK BOY movie because I red a good review on it and I watch these movies with a open mind and a good attitude because I wanna have a good time and cos' I have not gotten laid in almost 3 years and I can't get drunk since I'm on probation so I read comix and work on my zine and watch gore flix and SICK BOY was a BIG letdown! A real drag man! It's one of those horror movies that works (or is supposed to work) on a slow burn build up but SICK BOY did not achieve that with me. It's about a gal who is babysittin' a boy who has some unknown disease (guess what kind of disease it is) so she stays downstairs while the SICK BOY stays upstairs in his room all the time. The babysitter is not likeable , especially when she starts argueing with her dopey boyfriend and ESPECIALLY when she starts rapping and dancing to herself , lookin' in the mirror! That part sucked so bad!
    But the ending is good! These freakazoid ghoulish fux look fuckin' scary! I wish these zombies woulda been in a creepy , dark , foggy , atmospheric movie insteada this harsh light/daytime WB twenty something bitchfest contest. Upsetting that such cool lookin' zombies had to be in this. So watch the trailer or the last 15 minutes or watch the whole movie but just know that the first hour and ten minutes SUCK! -arty
