31 Days of Horror 2016: Twilight Zone The Movie

Four horror/science-fiction segments directed by four of Hollywood's famous directors based on TV's most popular anthology series, bookened by a funny and scary prologue and epilogue. In the first story (a vague remake of the Twilight Zone episode "A Quality of Mercy"), a loud-mouthed bigoted businessman with an intense hatred for Jews, blacks, and Asians, gets the tables turned on him when he walks out a bar and is inexplicably transported back in time to being pursued by Nazis in 1940's France, then as an African-American at a KKK rally in the 1950s Deep South, and as a Vietnamese in 1960s Vietnam. In the second story (a remake of 'Kick the Can'), an old man arrives at a retirement home and makes the wishes of the residents come true when he magically transforms them into youthful incarnations of their days gone by. In the third story (a remake of 'It's a Good Life'), a young woman on the road gives a ride to a mysterious 10-year-old boy to his house and ends up trapped with other people in an alternate reality created by the boy's imagination. The fourth story (a remake of 'Nightmare at 20,000 Feet) features a passenger on an airline whom sees, but cannot convince anyone, a mysterious creature on the outside wing of the airplane trying to sabotage the aircraft.

On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking. When an intruder breaks into James Sandin's (Ethan Hawke) gated community during the yearly lockdown, he begins a sequence of events that threatens to tear a family apart. Now, it is up to James, his wife, Mary (Lena Headey), and their kids to make it through the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide.

The Purge: Anarchy
In 2023, the Purge Night is about to start for the next 12 hours. A stranger leaves home and drives his car with a mysterious purpose. Meanwhile, the couple Liz and Shane are provoked by a masked man. They drive in the highway and their car unexpectedly stops. Soon they find that it was sabotaged by the group of masked man that are waiting for the beginning of the Purge. When it begins, they are hunted down by the masked man. Meanwhile, Eva and her daughter Cali find that Eva's father sold himself to a wealthy family since he is a burden to Eva and Cali since he is sick. Out of the blue, an army invades their building and breaks into their apartment. They are taken to the leader but the stranger decides to save them and kills the soldiers. Meanwhile Liz and Shane hide inside the stranger's car and he decides to help them to survive. However his car is hit by the bullets and he needs another car for his mission. Eva tells that her friend Tanya lives a few blocks away and he would borrow her car. Soon the stranger gets involved by the four survivors and helps them during the dangerous night.

The Purge: Election Year
In Washington, Senator Charlie Roan is disputing the Presidential election running against the New Founding Fathers' candidate Minister Edwidge Owens (Kyle Secor). She claims that the NFFA uses The Purge with economical purpose to get rid of poor and sick people and is the favorite to win. The BFFA leaders plot a scheme revoking the protection of government officials to kill Roan. Her chief of security Leo Barnes uses his agents and snipers to protect Roan, but there is a breach in the security system created by two agents that betray Barnes and a paramilitary group breaks in the house killing the loyal agents and snipers. However Barnes and Roan succeeds in escaping but Barnes is shot on the shoulder. They are captured by a group of Russian tourists and rescued by two locals that are protecting a store. They call their friends and they decide to protect the Senator until the next day. Will they succeed in protecting Roan?

31 Days of Horror 2016: Battle Royale

Battle Royale
Forty-two students, three days, one deserted Island: welcome to Battle Royale. A group of ninth-grade students from a Japanese high school have been forced by legislation to compete in a Battle Royale. The students are each given a bag with a randomly selected weapon and a few rations of food and water and sent off to kill each other in a no-holds-barred (with a few minor rules) game to the death, which means that the students have three days to kill each other until one survives--or they all die. The movie focuses on a few of the students and how they cope. Some decide to play the game like the psychotic Kiriyama or the sexual Mitsuko, while others like the heroes of the movie--Shuya, Noriko, and Kawada--are trying to find a way to get off the Island without violence. However, as the numbers dwell down lower and lower on an hourly basis, is there any way for Shuya and his classmates to survive?

Battle Royale II: Requiem
Three years after the events in "Battle Royale," Shuya Nanahara (Tatsuya Fujiwara)is a well-known terrorist bent on bringing down the government. In response, they order the creation of the "Battle Royale 2" program, and send a class of junior-high students to catch and kill him.

The year is 1974. A group of five close friends are heading through the back roads of Texas en route to their grandfather's potentially vandalized grave. Among them are Sally Hardesty, and her invalid brother Franklin. They encounter an unpleasant hitchhiker (Neal) who slashes both himself & Franklin with a wicked-looking knife. The others manage to eject the hitchhiker from the vehicle, but shortly after wards, they are forced to stop & wander over to a small, sinister clapboard house nearby in hopes for gas. What none of them realize is that this house is the home of the ghoulish Leatherface (Hansen) and his evil, demented family of cannibalistic psychopaths. One at a time, the teens are murdered by the evil Leatherface in horrifying ways. Sally soon finds herself an involuntary guest at Leatherface's home, and flees into the night to escape the demented cannibal and his loudly-buzzing chainsaw. Can she escape the grim fate that befell her friends & brother? Based on the terrifying true story of Ed Gein.

With the entire gruesome ordeal recorded on tape, Stretch seeks out the help of a former Texas Marshall who's on a personal quest of vengeance against this family of cannibals. While at first he turns her down, he eventually decides to use her tape to his advantage, asking her to air it during her request block- effectively baiting the cannibals to the radio station where he'll personally deal with them.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
Driving through the backwoods of Texas, five youths pick up a traumatized hitchhiker, who shoots herself in their van. Shaken by the suicide, the group seeks help from the locals, but their situation becomes even more surreal when they knock on the door of a remote homestead.

In hot pursuit is a disfigured, chainsaw-wielding cannibal known as Leatherface.

In July, 1969, when the facility is closed, the inhabitants move to other places, but the deformed, mentally childlike Thomas flies into a rage after being insulted and kills the foreman. His deranged brother (considered his uncle due to their age difference) executes the sheriff that is going to arrest Thomas, and assumes his identity, wearing his clothes,driving his car though the roads in Texas and entitling himself as Sheriff Hoyt. Meanwhile, the brothers Eric and Dean are traveling in a Jeep with their girlfriends Christie and Bailey, Eric to serve in Vietnam and Dean escaping to Mexico.

On arrival, she discovers she has inherited a mansion, but is yet to uncover the terrors that lurk in the basement underneath it.

31 Days of Horror 2016: Day 5 & 6

Grindhouse
A double-bill of thrillers that recall both filmmakers' favorite exploitation films. "Grindhouse" (a downtown movie theater in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace known for "grinding out" non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies) is presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. "Death Proof," is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while "Planet Terror" shows us a view of the world in the midst of a zombie outbreak. The films are joined together by clever faux trailers that recall the '50s exploitation drive-in classics.
All The Boys Love Mandy Lane
A group of high-schoolers invite Mandy Lane, an innocent, desirable girl, to a weekend party on a secluded ranch. While the festivities rage on, the number of revelers begins to drop mysteriously.

She initially believes John is the next in a long line of crackpots she's encountered, that is until she sees how much he has aged in the few hours he has waited to speak to her. It isn't until she goes looking for John after the fact that she finds out that the blond woman is Miriam Blaylock, John's wife.

From stealing the scene in Vacation to clashing with Dan Akroyd in The Great Outdoors, Candy was a volcano of funny in a decade of comedic giants. He is definitely missed and his legacy lives on.

The Brand Split: A Fan's Perspective

What would you do if you owned the world and had to make it entertaining for everyone?

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) owns the sports entertainment industry and needing a "fresh coat of paint", will be initializing the brand split once again. This from a fan's point of view will give the chance to see matches that wouldn't have been available during the normal shows. Talent will be, according to rumors, brand exclusive. Only on one show makes the program special and unique again. Seeing the potential for great matches and stories, I began to remember the original brand split and how I felt back then. I felt the same but, this time feels different in a way.

This opportunity will give new and young talent a chance to shine on a bright stage. It may give legends the chance to finish their legacies and to help cultivate the roster. Growth in any business is a goal and if grown correctly, it will blossom and produce great things. As I talked with my son about this, he questioned everything. "Will the champions be on both shows?" "Will NXT be a third brand?" "Will Roman (Reigns) be on Raw or Smackdown?" He had some good questions but he also made some great observations as well. He brought up names like Zack Ryder, Mojo Rawley, and Tyler Breeze along with Samoa Joe, Finn Balor, and Bailey. He sees the value in the split as well, but he sees it as we all should and hasn't become"jaded" by the business.

There are a lot of "haters" and they believe this is a waste of time and money. Some refuse to watch and others watch, just to see it fail. I wish the WWE well and I personally want this to work. I'll be surprised if it doesn't work at all this time.

5. Eric Bischoff on Monday Night Raw
4. Lex Luger on WCW Monday Nitro
3. Dusty Rhodes on ECW Programming

The moment that these men stepped onto the entrance way, they changed the course of wrestling. These impacted everyone from the fans, to the promotions, and to the sponsors of the television shows. From Bischoff hugging McMahon to Scott Hall proclaiming that "If you want a war, you're gonna get one", these men showed us how an opportunity could build a future and a legacy that we will talk about for years. Jericho going one-on-one with The Rock in a verbal smackdown is classic attitude from future Hall of Famers. Dusty Rhodes entering an ECW arena to face Steve Corino had my jaw hitting the floor.

Memorial Day

To all of the men and women in the military.

Without your dedication and perseverance through good and bad times, our freedoms would be lost. Thank you for everything you do.

Every member of our military should be held with the highest respect. They lose their lives protecting our way of life, so we can be free to do whatever it is that we want.

These men and women are awesome and without their sacrifices, we would lose everything. So take a moment and thank them, buy their meal, or just show them respect for what they do.

Gotta Catch Them All!

New episodes coming June 1st!!!

Extreme Rules 2016

The Club...

From Bullet Club to The Club... ehh?!?

Not knocking Anderson, Gallows, and Styles in this, but why in the world would WWE creative come up with a name for this three man team by conjuring up memories of a steering wheel locking mechanism?

In Japan, they were in the faction called the Bullet Club. This "nWo-esque" group became the talk of the wrestling world, at least with hardcore fans. The WWE is marketed towards children and the kids only know what they see on tv. Some really great wrestling isn't on tv and the little ones don't know who guys like Kenny Omega, Ricochet, Dalton Castle, Jax Dane, Raymond Rowe, and The Young Bucks are. For example, I introduced my son to the "non-mainstream" wrestling shows and he was in awe. He turns after seeing Kota Ibushi vs Kenny Omega and asks, Why are they not in the WWE? I have to say each time that I don't know.

My son loves wrestling just like I do and has started watching Lucha Underground. His favorite is Pentagon Jr. and through the show is learning Spanish.

Back to the topic at hand, The Club...
This incarnation of the Bullet Club is great for the hardcore fans, but strange for the casual watcher. Then a generic name to replace the copyrighted Bullet Club moniker is put into place so all parties are safe from litigation. I hope that it all works out for The Club because it definitely sounds better than "The Bloodline".

Strictly my opinion on this folks :)

Frienemies

"We're friends but we don't get along"

It amazes me when people talk about their friends like they hate them. I mean I understand when a friend's actions make them look stupid or something, but when the friend hasn't done anything to deserve that hate makes the other person look like an enemy.

Some folks don't know that they're being hated on and some do, but don't care. The question I have is: "How do you deal with a frienemy?"

A Change of Habit?!?

Horror Movie Fanatic

I LOVE HORROR MOVIES!

I blame my mother for my horror fixation. She introduced me to her favorite scary movie: Halloween (1978). Mom showed me the tv version as a young child because, boobies and blood was a bad thing. As I got older, my love for horror became a fun addition to our routine before the Halloween holiday. We watched those movies and enjoyed the talks we had afterwards. 

This year's 31 Days will have the beginning of franchises and some special movies thrown in as well. This year I will be honoring a good friend and fellow comedian, Kenn Webb, with "The Webby Awards". This year will be a restart for the 31 Days of Horror and I'm gonna enjoy this so much!
