2 Horror Movies
Hostel
I rented and watched the horror movie Hostel. This was about 2 Americans backpacking across Europe doing nothing but smoking pot, drinking beer, picking up women and acting like the stereotypical "Ugly American." They find themselves conned into going to Slovakia to a Hostel that has beautiful women who throw themselves at Americans. Ah ha! If it were only that easy. Instead, they end up in an old factory where rich international businessmen pay huge sums of money to torture and kill - just for the thrill. This movie is bloody and disturbing and I would steer clear if you don't like this kind of thing. I for one, loved it. The lesson is not to travel in other countries and assume you're safe.
Wolf Creek
This was movie 2 in my horror film festival and I found this a disturbing movie that was based on a true story. Three Australian teens - good looking of course; decide to drive across the vast desert of Australia. They end up breaking down and the wrong person comes to the rescue and a bloodbath ensues. It reminds me of the part in Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy where the Mexicans come across two Americans running for their lives. The Americans call out to get a drink of water and the Mexicans laugh. They tell them, "The lamb calls for his mother, but doesn't know if the wolf will show up." The lesson learned is don't pay $1500 for a car to drive across the desert.
Graphic Novel
Well, the first thumbnail sketches have been sent to me by my friend Craig on our Graphic Novel project and I was blown away. I'll reveal the name and place some of the artwork on the website as soon as they're completed.
