Armageddon Expo 2010

Today I went to the Armageddon Expo. It was rather lovely.
Seeing people dressed up as Darth Vader and stuff is always good value.
There was even a replica Tardis, which I was mega excited about and got my picture taken with ^^.

This is not me and a Tardis.

I also got a splendid tshirt that says 'Trust me, I'm the Doctor'.

Nine Dead (2010)

This is one of those glorious straight-to-video movies.
It's about nine apparently random individuals are kidnapped and locked up in a room together. A masked creeper tells them they have to figure out why he has brought them all there; and that every ten minutes he will return to the room and ask if they have figured it out. If they haven't he'll kill one person and etc. He even gives them coloured chalk to help figure out this magical murderous riddle.
It's a very Saw-esque type storyline.



This movie poster is a bit of a spoiler about the order people die in..



One of the main reasons I wanted to watch this was because one of my childhood favorites Melissa Joan Hart aka SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH!!! was in it.



... she hasn't aged too well.

Gentlemen Broncos (2009)

Today was a video ezy day, so I have seen three new movies today; one of which was Gentlemen Broncos.

It's about a guy who writes sci-fi novels and goes to some homeschoolers convention for writers. and oh no his sci-fi writing hero is there and steals his story. bastard.




It's pretty weird. Not really in a good way most of the time. It's directed by the same guy who did Napoleon Dynamite. yeaaaaaaaaaah he hit his peak.



The parts with the sci-fi story acted out were pretty amusing though.

Strangers on a Train (1951)

I bought this on dvd at the Camberwell market last Sunday.

This Hitchcock film tells the tale of Guy and Bruno, strangers who meet on a train one day. Bruno is a bit of a weirdo and starts talking about how he wishes his father was dead, and knows that Guy would like it if his estranged wife was dead so he could marry some babe (he knows this because Guy is a famous tennis player lol). Bruno thinks the perfect murder would be if they each did the other man's murder, because as randoms there would be no motive and stuff. Genius!



Only Bruno, as I mentioned, is a weirdo and actually kills Guy's hoe of a wife.
And Guy is a bit WTF?!?! OMG?!! about that.



Bruno then goes a bit crazy crazy demanding Guy kill his father or else he'll plant evidence that makes it look like Guy killed his wife. And thus a showdown at a carnival ensues.



My favorite character was Barbra because she was weird and didn't seem very 1950s-ish.

Easy A (2010)

The most recent film I've seen at the cinemas is Easy A. I went and saw it with my younger sister.

It's pretty much about the wonders of a high school rumour mill.



Sometimes I couldn't get over the fact that Emma Stone was either wearing really tight pants or SHOCK HORROR VOMIT jeggings. They have no place is the everlasting medium that is film.





Also, Penn Badgley was okay. I think he is always going to be a 'Dan' no matter what he's in now.

Planet Terror (2007)

I really love movies in all their good, bad, tacky, tear-jerky, nightmare inducing glory. As such I'm making a blog about movies I watch. I might throw in some other stuff along the way. Whatever amen.

I think I shall begin with one of my all time favorite movies;
Planet Terror.




Basically it's about a bunch of people joining forces to try and survive a zombie attack in their town. They are not zombies in the I-just-crawled-out-of-the-ground sense, but are rather diseased, flesh eating creepers created through exposure to a bio-nerve gas created by the U.S Military (naturally).



Even Quentin Tarantino makes an appearance.



The main character is Cherry Darling; a go-go dancer who wants to be a comedian. She looses a leg to a bunch of zombies.




Her boyfriend makes her a gun leg to help fight zombies. What a nice guy.
