The Weekend


Am excited. Right now, my composer is uploading the entire musical score for GOH to my dropbox. Can't wait to get it all and lay it in, check it out. It's the closest it gets to Christmas as a kid for me.

Watched Chillerama last night. It's an anthology of horror stories from Adam Green, Adam Rifkin, Joe Lynch and Tim Sullivan. It's set at a drive-in and most of the movie is the movies being shown at the drive-in, while there's a thru-story taking place at the drive-in itself.

I actually thought it was a lot of fun. Sort of like a Troma movie, but better acted. The weak link is the Tim Sullivan part, which is supposed to be a knock-off of a musical, but is really poorly written and directed. I mean, Tim...when someone breaks into song, you don't lock the fucking camera down for EVERY shot. Go back and watch West Side Story, for fuck's sake.

But there's a lot of fun to be had in some of the other ones. It's streamable on Netflix, so if you're bored and wanna kill 95 minutes, give it a shot.

Went to see The Grey today. I heard it was good, so I had high hopes for it. It doesn't disappoint, but let me warn you if you're a weepy sap or a woman: It's a SAD movie. People die. My wife HATED the movie. She cried during the whole thing. Said she almost walked out in a couple of places.

But it's a very good movie and affirms once again: You don't fuck with Liam Neeson regardless of whether you're man or animal.
