I hope there are extended Bollywood sequences in this. I also think there is a bit of Dr. Evil in this new character. June is too far away *sigh*.

Did this one last night. I’m still working on the color version - but I’m real happy how it turned out. I need a bigger light table though.

Wolf Creek
Horror movies these days just don’t have enough personality. This is a brutal movie, simply for the sake of brutality. There is no real plot other than a simplistic “Kids get lost and make stupid choices”. Even other movies on the same caliber still had some sort of entertainment value, like Hostel - which I didn’t really like either, but at least that had some sort of payoff in the end. I didn’t like this movie at all.

Darkness Falls
I had initially avoided this movie because the previews gave me the heebie-jeebies. I eventually put this in my Netflix queue and it’s taken this long for me to see it. The good: Emma Caulfield was a favorite of mine as Anya in Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show - and it was nice seeing her. The Bad: Everything else. The movie was not as horrifying nor creepy as I wanted it to be. The premise of a murderous Tooth Fairy quickly devolved into some spirit that kills people and is hurt by light (any kind of light - even a friggin’ lightstick?). The writers are to blame - I could’ve written something that played on that premise and it would have been terrifying. Also hurting it was the PG-13 rating - simply not enough creative kills or gore - people are just whisked away into the darkness and scream *yawn*.

Next in my queue: The Man Who Fell to Earth, Jack Frost, and Zach Galifianakis: Live.

I’ve decided, since I’m trying to quit smoking, to go full bore and quit all my vices. No sex, drugs, gambling, swearing, or having obscene thoughts. I’m starting to believe that these things are preventing me from true happiness - and quite frankly, I’m tired of them. This will be the year that I clean up my act and clean up my soul. Wish me luck.

*Update: I guess I need a better April Fools joke next time. The “obscene thoughts” probably blew it - or maybe the choking chicken graphic - or I just don’t have enough people reading my blog that care either way.
