Suzanne Cappelletti Takes On Dead Snow 2: Red VS Dead




 Dead Snow Red VS Dead
2014 Dir Tommy Wirkola

I don't know about you guys, but I could not wait to see this. I am a big fan of the first movie and they left me hanging at the end. This was well worth the wait. This one got some Hollywood backing and more money means more zombie madness.

This picks up exactly where we left off, Martin barely alive. Its hard not to give any spoilers, but here's the standard *POSSIBLE SPOILERS* There, now my ass is covered. Our hero is arrested for the murders, and ends up with Herzog's arm attached to his body. Someone figures out the arm is a zombie arm and alerts the American Zombie Squad. It turns out that the Herzog and crew have to complete their mission and only Martin and his new found powers can stop him, with the help of the Zombie Squad of course.

There were portions of the first movie that were more serious, there was a lot of camp too. This one is balls out, over the top flipping insane. The gore is crazy and comes in bulk, the actors all play it off brilliantly and with tongue placed very firmly in cheek. These are not your Romero zombies, these are a different animal altogether. Its just good, gory hysterical fun.

I give this a rating of oh hell yes good. It will be added to my collection very soon. If you like your zombies gory with a twisted sense of humor, this is your flick! Enjoy

#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
