A punk band goes to a backwoods bar that leans very much in favor of white supremacy to play a show. When they go to get their money and stuff in the back of the bar and find a murder taking place the group must band together and fend off the hateful bastards in order to live and escape. This concept could maybe work as a scary short no one could imagine that this film could hold your attention for an hour and a half. Yet this film has not only managed to do it but it is also one of the highest rated films of the year sitting at a 91 percent on rotten tomatoes. This film also is kind of somber film as well in it is one of the last films to star the insanely brilliant and way to young Anton Yelchin. If you don't know about Yelchin's death earlier this year then I will let you go look it up we are here to celebrate his great acting and this great movie.
So for one this film is not only scary but it also just works on every level. You care about every character whether they are good or bad. All of it builds insanely well and makes you really feel tense the entire time. The great thing also is that outside of a few stars in the film everyone looks and acts the part as well. It almost feels like you are watching a gritty real life account more so then a movie at some points. It also is very funny at times as well and has you laughing in that I'm not sure I should be laughing at this moment vibe. The best thing going for the movie is that once the intensity starts it never lets up. In a way the film is a lot like the music being played by the band it is raw and unapologetic. It is a great little film in a sea of big movies that should not be ignored. Make sure you get your backstage pass and head to the Green Room.
Fenix vs King Cuerno Last Luchador Standing S02E03:
Fenix and King Cuerno took the temple and the world by storm in the first episode of season two when they put on a barn burner of a match for the Gift of the Gods Championship. Only two episodes later the two would have another astounding match which would fall under the stipulation of a Last Luchador Standing Match. The rules are simple if you can not answer the referee by the count of ten you lose the match. Very simple and easy to follow.
You have heard me speak about the athlete that Fenix is and just how likeable he is. On the other hand you have King Cuerno who is an insanely gifted wrestler who for nearly the entire first season I was not all that impressed with. However once seeing him and Fenix in the same ring I knew that there was something to this man and he was not only a great performer but he could tell a story as well inside the ring. The match isn't a technical marvel like there first one and the pace is slowed down. However for it being a Last Luchador standing match both of these things factor in nicely. It has an amazing finish and one of the crazier spots I have seen in a long time. Overall this match is a great middle chapter in a fantastic trilogy of matches between the two. Check back later in the month for a look at the other two in this series.
Ash Vs Evil Dead:
It is hard not to love Bruce Campbell especially when he as a chainsaw in for one hand and a shotgun in the other bellowing out cool lines and killing demons. When it was announced that Evil Dead was going to be brought back into the form of a television show all the fans were thoroughly on board with the project. The first season came and went and we were all happy but it was nothing mind blowing. Then the show got renewed for a second season and we were all going to get an answer as to what happened to Ash and the gang as they went to Florida to live happily ever after. Short answer nothing lasts forever and Ash has to kick some ass. Season two finds the gang trying to stop the book and a new evil named Baul. Ash is forced to go back to his home town and confront the people of it who think he is a murdering psycho. He also must face his estranged father (Lee Majors) who wants nothing to do with him. This season is a major improvement for one because it feels like they know where they are going with the plot and it doesn't feel so strung together at the last moment. This season might also be better because unlike the last season they weren't sure if season two was going to happen. Strongest episode of the season has to be episode seven entitled Delusion. In this we see Ash broken down to his core and forced to question whether or not he is the chosen or if he is really just plane crazy. Everything about season two is working so far with only one left I am hoping it gets a third season so we can keep living in the world of Evil Dead at least until dawn.
