Shawn reviews The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence)

Remember when I said I wasn't interested in a second version of ass-to-lips gore porn?

Well, what kind of "B" movie critics would we be if we didn't look into something like this?

The first hour is an incredibly dark look at the main character, Martin. Where his intent is to finish the Dr.'s work from the first film, except Martin is not a doctor,(completely opposite from the first movie actually) and is coined "mentally retarded" by his own family doctor.  Who isn't so awesome in the head, himself.

This is not a scary movie. However, the things they didn't show in the first movie, (happened off screen) you see in full view, in this one.  All be it black and white.(Minus a nice treat at the end...*shudders*)  The black and white really didn't ruin it.

This movie is pure gore porn.  The first hour wasn't bad, and if you are a genre-aholic, you'll dig it.  It is dirty, filthy, disturbing, and violent as fuck thrasher/killer style.

The ass-to-mouth sequence is still a little ridiculous in my mind.  Not really seeing the fetish there. So it really detracts from what I was enjoying in this movie.  It's just stupid, but does add the element NO OTHER movie would, after going as far as this movie did, during the first hour.  But it keeps getting darker, and far more disturbing.

So, where does that leave my thoughts?  I'm a little unsure myself.  As a genre-movie lover, this was fantastic on so many fronts. I feel kinda guilty for liking it as much as I did.  I really kinda want to give this a Good for that.  I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again, but...maybe I would watch it if it were on.

For now, until my brain wraps around what I just watched, I gotta give it a Good.  Still stupid in concept, but a far more superior movie than the first one.

    I haven't watched either films but I loved this review (made me giggle how you're not sure if you like it haha, I'd be the same!!)

    Not sure if I should watch either, don't want to regret it... enjoy reading reviews on it though. The poster is well...

    Thanks man! I gotta say, I highly recommend the first hour for any B movie lover. After that, you are on your own. haha. Lips to ass. Fuckin weird.

    Also, there is a newborn baby scene in it, that some might find offensive. But it IS just a movie.

    Glad you enjoyed the review, and Yeah, I think I'm sticking with a good.

    Cheers,
    -Shawn

      I've been avoiding this since it came out. I LOVE the first one despite its heavy reliance on cliches. Everything I read about this one, though, didn't seem too good. I don't need to actually see all that gross shit. The first one implied it/showed it at the exact right ratio.

      All that being said, I'll watch it. I think it's on Netflix Instant.

    @ Sir Phobos...

    Let us know what you think, when you watch it. I watched it on netflix.

    It's definitely gross, but it suits this particular film. It isn't like the first one, at all. Almost the complete opposite, if you know what I mean.

    Cheers for the reply!

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

  Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends.  With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher.  When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up.  Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila!  Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink.  The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink.  The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices.   In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors.  The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort.  It was refreshing enou

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ".  I know I remember them.  This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present.  With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good.  It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters.  This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's.  In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking.  I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e
