Sons of Awesome

I just started to watch Sons of Anarchy under the recommendation of my friend Pansy Warrior Princess. It stars Katie Sagal (voice of Leela on Futurama) and Ron Perlman (best known for his role as Hellboy) and quite a few others. The story revolves around a biker gang known as the Sons of Anarchy in the town of Charming. Specifically it focuses on Jacks, Vice President of the gang. It's a highly interesting show and I highly recommend it to everyone. The acting is phenomenal and the story is well written. Sons of Anarchy plays on FX, so check your local listings.

Hatchet

Hatchet is a horror film that is quite similar to Friday the 13th. The killer in this movie, much like Jason Voorhees, is disfigured, dies due to teenagers and kills in a variety of gruesome ways. Other comparisons that can be made to Friday the 13th are the nudity (there are breast shots abound in the start seeing as how it's base in New Orleans during Mardi Gras) and the mainly young cast. The movie stars Joel Moore (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Grandma's Boy) and also features appearances by the great Tony Todd (known mainly for his role as Clive Barker's Candyman, but also a great stage actor) and Richard Riehle (Office Space, Grounded for Life). Overall it's a decent film, worth a rental perhaps. I give it a 6/10.

Zombieland

Zombieland is a story about a nerdy loser of a teen with a list of rules on how to survive in Zombieland. This movie stars Woody Harrelson and Emma Stone, along with some newcomers. If you love zombie deaths and hilarious characters, this movie is definitely for you. The comedy was amazingly well scripted and I loved every minute of it. Before I end up spoiling the movie I'll stop here and rate it 10/10.

Braindead

This is the 3rd movie directed by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame. It uses classic gross-out techniques to horrify and disgust the viewer. though the techniques are outdated enough to no longer frighten, they do gross-out with gusto. It reminds me of the early Return of the Living Dead movies mixed with Gremlins, not really meant to be scary but meant to be gross and funny. Somehow I found it very entertaining and gave it a 7/10.
