Movie Reviews:
Jack Frost
Review by RainmanA convicted serial killer is set to meet his maker on Christmas Eve when the truck he is traveling in crashes with a chemical truck. The mixture of chemicals and snow turn the serial killer into a killer snowman. The killer snowman has one mission – to kill the sheriff who put him away. The snowman travels to the sleepy snow village of Snowmonton and goes on a Richard Ramirez-esque killing spree. The best scene in the movie is when Jack Frost shoves and axe handle down a local yokels throat. Jack Frost is ultimately thwarted by hair dryers and a flatbed pickup truck filled with water. For any B-Movie fan this is a must see.
Don't Open Till Christmas
Review by ArchieA movie with a lot of potential, but, sadly, not much that was memorable. The basics are that there is a madman loose who is killing anyone dressed as Santa Claus and Scotland Yard is impotent in its attempts to catch him. The madman comes up with quite a few different and creative ways to kill and the directors manage to put in enough Rainman moments to keep the movie going. Ultimately, though, keeping it going is all that it does, as the tendency becomes one of scanning through the dialog to see what happens next. The killings themselves, however, become just as uninteresting as the dialog, and one is left scanning forward just to see if there is anything else to satisfy the cravings of the BMTG’s resident Sexologist. Like most other British films, this one starts off with plenty of foreplay, wanders aimlessly for awhile, and ends in disappointment, as the viewer is left wondering when and if the big finish will ever come.
From Beyond the Grave
Review by RainmanA seemingly down on his luck street vendor played by Donald Pleasance coaxes a local businessman to come over to his house for dinner. While at dinner the businessman meets the street vendor’s daughter. The daughter and the businessman quickly fall in love. The businessman then kills his wife to be with the daughter – a Scott Peterson like maneuver. The businessman and the daughter get their swerve on and are married. The day of the wedding ceremony the new bride kills her new husband when she cuts the cake. Once she cuts the cake the new husband bleeds to death from his head. In a twist, it is later discovered that the son of the businessman was behind all the macabre mayhem.
Questions:
1. Should children convicted of first degree murder get life in prison without parole, as is currently the law in Florida? (Murder, First Degree - In order for someone to be found guilty of first degree murder the government must prove that the person killed another person; the person killed the other person with malice aforethought; and the killing was premeditated. To kill with malice aforethought means to kill either deliberately and intentionally or recklessly with extreme disregard for human life. Premeditation means with planning or deliberation. The amount of time needed for premeditation of a killing depends on the person and the circumstances. It must be long enough, after forming the intent to kill, for the killer to have been fully conscious of the intent and to have considered the killing.)
| Diesel | Yes, liked Congo's answer. Also, they should randomly choose some for experiments that may lead to death. |
| Congo | Yes, string 'em up. |
| Rainman | No |
| Archie | Yes |
2. How should College Football's bowl season/champion determination be changed, if at all?
| Diesel | Reduce season to 11 games, determine top 8 through 75% BCS and 25% human poll, then playoffs using bowl games. |
| Congo | It should be changed. |
| Rainman | Keep BCS, top 4 in playoff (1 vs 4, 2 vs 3 in round 1). Ranked 5 through 100 should go to bowl games. The championship (winners of round 2 of playoff) should be the Saturday before the Super Bowl, along with a runner up game (losers of round 1 of playoff). They should also have a game between the 2 worst teams in college football, to be held at Yuba City High, Home of the Honkers. |
| Archie | Playoffs like March Madness. 16 teams in tournament. |
3. Who will win the Super Bowl this season?
| Diesel | Philadelphia beats Denver in the "Ugly Bowl" |
| Congo | Kansas City beats St. Louis (but I want St. Louis) |
| Rainman | New England beats Philadelphia (but I want Dallas) |
| Archie | Indianapolis beats Philadelphia |
