  I think you should reward yourself after this punishment by watching Renaissance :) .. it will in my opinion return you to the land where true artistry can exist
  LOL

  Wow. That was pretty awful. But I must admit, your description sounds *slightly* better than what I thought the movie might be when I first glanced at the initial photograph. I honestly thought this would be a horror movie using marionettes or puppets or something -- the dude getting his neck bitten off by some blind dead chick didn't look real to me. I thought he was one of those Team America type puppets, lol.
  
  I dunno if Pam will let me down to your 'hood to watch one of these, but I'll see what I can do :-)

  Sang, there is nothing wrong with Andy Sidaris. I'd term them "B+ movies"
  
  Engtech, was this your selection? If so, sounds like a good one! Have you seen the sequels that Jason swears he will never watch? If so, what's the capsule summary?

  Don't worry Dave, I'm sure after I watch Do Or Die I will view you in a different light as well... looking forward to how Pat Morita fits into the Sidaris vision.
  
  Yes this was Engtech's recommnedation. I'm just glad no cats were harmed in the movie.
  
  This link had some summaries of the sequels, which I didn't read in full as I'm now avoiding anything to do with this flick...

  Sang,
  
  Savage Beach and Hard Ticket to Hawaii!!!
  
  I don't usually hit Hawaii during Christmas (usually b/c of Pam's schedule). Plus traveling with the kids is a pain in the arse. We'll probably go in the spring when Kalea has a week off from school at the earliest.

  Wow! You critic is simply a shame! What a lack of analysis for a so creative movie. Tombs of the blind is mostly an original study of major figure of horror movie. Those zombies are not seen anywhere else and reaveals a true conception of what can be a living-dead, what can be the death into life. This is even illustrated with the appearence of the templars. They're just... empy! They're jusyt living dead by a kind of susbtraction and desubstancialisation. The figure is completely magnificent.
  Also the rythm is perfect to illustrate something we can only undestand with cinema : Something only mentionned in Nietzsche's work:
  the fact the weak always wins.
  
  And the rythm is perfect for giving more Esthetics.
  The last thing given in this movie is his unique ambiance. If you're unable to concetrate at leat about ambiance (neither about théory we can build with watching a movie), anvironement, athmosphère (...) I advice you to stop lose your time writing about movies. Neither intellectual nor sensitive work in your writing.
  
  And what is the basement for your pseudo anlysis? Two clichés? Hey, your own clichés are clichés. You can say the same for many of great movies you consider yourself as classics.
  The problem is not what clichés we can find in a movie, but what you can do with them.
  You only reveal your lack of analysis, of knoledge about cinema, and unability to write a critic.
  
  (I must also precise that there's no zoom in this movie, and whatever, you should have seen more giallos to understand what we can do with zoom).
