Another drop of piss from Hollywood's machine.
Whether or not anyone is in unity with me on this one I have to stress that the 1984 version of 'A nightmare on elm street' was a spine tingling masterpiece, unlike any horror movie I had ever seen- Yeah I know the sequels that followed eventually turned Freddy Krueger into more of a goofy side show host than a teen predator. The franchise finally ended some time ago with Freddy sparring off with Jason (thank christ). Now have another re-make on our plate of summer flicks. And I ask you all- really? Really? Allow me to pose this question-Do we need it? Is it just that director Michael Bay is sick of tweaking on Jerry Bruckheimers' Hemorrhoids or is simply because he just loves to join other vampires in sucking every last drop of blood from long dead franchises. I have stressed this so many times but let just say once again-Stop copying foreign films, stop re-making classics (unless you plan to do it justice) and stop for the love of talc -on- balls making shoddy prequels and sequels. Believe it or not Hollywood not every one who goes to the movies is a dumb sister- fuckin' hick!! There are still thinking people out there, it's such a shame that there doesn't seem to be any in tinsel town these days.

Not while we washing the dog, George!
Okay, I stumbled across a commercial the other day for the erectile disfunction remedy they call Cialis. Now I have no clue as to why I was paying such attention, but I remember seeing a man and a woman in the garden bathing their dog and hearing the commentary... something to the effect of "Cialis will help you perform when the moment is right".
When the moment is right? They were bathing their dog...fully clothed. They weren't even looking at each other. What was he gonna do? Ravage his wife while bathing the dog? Could somebody please tell me how bathing a dog with your wife would be any help on a hard-on pill commercial? What does this mean? Am I just gonna just slam my wife while hosing Brutus down in a kiddy pool? Because the moment is right.
Cialis - The side effects are a spinning sensation, loss of hearing, blurred vision and an unexplained rash. Hell, I can understand those side effects completely, because if the kids caught me and the Mrs. having our way in the kiddy pool I would probably spin around, fall in the pool, thereby losing my hearing and causing vision to be blurry. And lastly, with all that dog hair in the pool, you better better believe my rash will be explained!

The stark reality of district 9
What happens when you cross a horde of malnourished aliens with a government wing of war hungry bureaucrats?-
You get a refreshing look at what exactly would be happening if an alien ship did end up hovering over a major city. District 9 is a disturbing example of why any intelligent E.T. would never want to come to our planet in peace. Because let's face it people, the greeting they get in the movie would be dangerously close to the greeting they would get in reality. They would be quarantined, have their intelligence undermined, and last but not least, we would be salivating to find out if they had weapons and how we could use them for our own sick and twisted purposes. The moral message in District 9 is nothing like the one in Independence Day. (Run and hide!) It simply states that we as a race have a shallow and violent agenda, and any government who didn't possess those values would never get anywhere near the aliens. I personally thought the movie was an amazing, edge of the seat sci-fi thriller, with a subtle dose of empathy between man and alien. The visual and sound effects were splendid. The fact it was set in Johannesburg really opened doors to how a different culture than ours would react to such a phenomenon. And lastly all of the eye candy we were given on a $30 million dollar budget?-Please, somebody tell me where did they go wrong with the $235 million movie Waterworld?
