This movie is totally insane…It has nothing to do with the 80′s movie of the same name (which I also dig) and is a truly macabe film at heart. The crazy cat scenes deserve a mention, as well as the various wacky deaths for all young guests in the House.

Watch for the Cat’s Crazy Expression at 1:28! Holy Crap!!!

Yeah!!!

I am glad I got rid of my Prius when I did. I always thought it was a little gutless, but actually it was the jerky and sometimes dangerous transition from the Electric to the Gas Engine when you wanted to accelerate and cross a busy road that had me concerned. That was in early 09 and the car was an 08 model without traction control, so maybe that was part of it.

Anyway here’s the Recalled Lawn Mower..

Park Chan-Wook’s fantasticly creepy vampire film was horribly overlooked by the Academy for a best Foreign film nomination.  In recent years hollywood has been almost overtaken by the vampire film genre, but it took a Korean filmmaker to really get it right.  The film looks fantastic, and the performances totally hit the mark.  Of course,  all of the usual themes are there, but the overriding theme that continues to be missed or dumbed down by  American vampire films, is that of  SELFISHNESS.  Wanting to live forever, have super powers, and literally suck the life of others plays into our desire to feel special, powerful, evil, and thus sexy.  Thirst fleshes out this nasty selfishness in such a skin crawling manner that it smashes other vampire films’ faces into a bloody pulp, and then pukes blood on their corpses.
