Remember that scene in
SILVER BULLET
where the drunk dad was watching wrasslin’ on TV and the one wrestler kicked the
other one in the nuts and the drunk dad yelled out “Ow! That's it. Oh, that hurt my parts!”? Well, that’s how I felt watching this dick-kickin' collection of short
stories.
Old Chief Wood’nhead
Why not start out the movie with easily the worst story? That's always a
good idea. An older couple live in an small desert town that has dried up and
blown away. They run a dilapidated general store with an old wooden Indian
standing outside. One evening, three local low-life’s come in and rob the place.
Killing the couple in the process. This pisses off the wooden Indian (not enough
to stop the crime obviously) and he says “Two tears in a bucket,
motherfuck it.” and kills the criminals in boring ways. Skip it.
The Raft
The highlight of this turd fest. Four boring, twenty-something year-old
teenagers drive out to a remote watering hole to smoke weed and swim. Once
there, they swim out to a stationary raft in the middle of the lake and before
you can say "They should make a sequel to THE HORSE WHISPERER called THE HORSE
WHISPERER 2: THE SHIT-TALKER where all the horse whisperer does is saunter up to
the horse and talk hella shit right in its ear 'Listen here, you carrot-chewing
motherfucker...' and '...you know that glue factory down the road?' Stuff
like that." they discover the lake is also home to a floating garbage bag.
It swims around the raft at about the speed on a one-legged duck (0.5 duck
knots) and somehow manages to pick off these idiots one at a time.
Yawn.
THE BLOB
it's not.
The Hitch-hiker
A cheating wife is rushing home from the filming of
Boner Jams 87'
in order to beat her husband who’s been away at work, when she runs over a
hitchhiker. She ain’t got time for that shit and leaves him to bleed out on the
side of the road. Next thing you know, the hitchhiker (or his ghost or whatever)
is hanging all over her car yelling out "Thanks for the ride, lady!" over
and over and over. His body getting more and more mutilated as she smashes him
into a tree and even shoots him a few times. I remember thinking this was
extremely funny when I was teenager, but I must have been drinking mushroom
Kool-Aid or high because I didn’t find it funny at all now as a handsome adult.
Then again, I’m grumpy as fuck. Grrr!
In conclusion, CREEPSHOW 2 is underwhelming and boring. I’m sure the filmmakers
intentions were in the right place and they didn’t mean to relentlessly turbo
shit mad dookie diarrhea poo-poo (with just a squirt of pee-pee) all over the
audiences eyeballs, but they did and it wasn’t a pleasant experience. Skip it.
Unless you're drinking mushroom Kool-Aid, because then apparently it's
hilarious. "Thanks for the ride, lady!"

IRON MAN (2008)
Billionaire inventor / industrialist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is kidnapped
by some smelly terrorist buttholes in Afghanistan. Luckily for him though,
they are some of the most oblivious captors in movie history and while he's been
instructed to build them a single missile...he instead constructs a gigantic
functioning suit of armor that has flame throwers, a missile launcher and can
even fly! Jesus wept! Anyway, shit happens and once he gets
back to his mansion workshop in California, he designs and builds an even better
version of his "Iron Man" suit which he flies around and does all kinds of
clever and entertaining things with.
IRON MAN is a very enjoyable superhero movie. The script could have been spruced up a bit, but for what it is, it's definitely a well-made film that's easily watchable and re-watchable. Uneven pace, dated technology, fun action scenes (the daytime ones much more than the nighttime bullshit), Suicidal Tendencies, disappointing final boss, a ghost drive, multiple corporate tie-ins, strong supporting cast, a fantastic performance by Robert Downey Jr., an "American cheeseburger", no explanation if the suit is climate-controlled inside or not, PG-13 rated violence.
IRON MAN is a fun time-waster. Recommended.
