House of 1000 Corpses (2003)
Set your ticket on fire... at least it would be more entertaining!
Being a fan of Rob Zombie himself and the former band White Zombie, I went into this movie expecting to be entertained. 88 minutes later I left shaking my head. Had I really spent $8 on a ticket?
Now don't get me wrong, I was expecting a "B" style movie. But no, it didn't even reach that level. From no plot, yes let me say that again, NO PLOT, to bad acting (except Capt. Spaulding) this movie kept me checking my watch. In recent horror movies it seems that the loud sound and intense closeup is the way to frighten the viewers. Once again, the same method is used. Yet even more predictable than most. When the "scary" critters "jumped" out, it was more comedy than horror.
Aside from an extended scene with a man on his knees, there was really no part of this movie that stood out to me at all. If anything, it proves that some people are just not meant to direct or write screenplays. Rob, stick to your metal, big-guy and leave this work to people that know what they are doing.
Biker Boyz (2003)
Could be worse I suppose...
As a motorcycle rider (GSXR-1000) I went to this movie with anticipation and excitement. Aside from a few nice paintjobs and a few rolling stoppies, this movie was quite weak. And why didn't they release this when it was warmer? They might have gotten a better biker turn out. I was expecting a Fast & The Furious style with crotch rockets, but what I got was a ghetto-fab, half-helmet, cowboy hat-wearing, bandana-wielding group of amateur riders with minimal acting skills. If you want to see REAL racing and tricks (and quite-possibly a better story line), go to your local shop and pick up a Star Boys or Vegas Extreme video/dvd. If you own a bike, check this movie out, but don't expect too much. You'll walk away thinking, "Wow, that was a nice paint job" and nothing else.
