My Thoughts:
This one I enjoyed quite a bit, It is a little slower paced then I normally like... but it works for this film. It has really great atmosphere... the characters was well done and the storyline easily kept my interest. I feel it is well worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:
I been pretty lucky with the movies I have watched lately... so knew it had to be coming. I really didn't care for this one much at all. While there was some good scenes and I was able to watch it all the way through... this one just didn't do it for me. The characters was unlikable. The storyline was a bit on the boring side. There just wasn't that much here to keep me interested. Do yourself a favor and don't bother with this one.

This is actually a pretty goood suspence\thriller. I've seen it once before, ages ago and i really enjoyed it then and enjoyed it as much now. There isnt anything new but a great Noomi Rapace and Rachel McAdams makes it work big time. The movie got some real good spots here and there. And you can just feel the tension between the characters. Just great work. If you like a really good thriller where you dont have to think that much. Check it out!

Plot:
In LEMMY, directors Greg Olliver and Wes Orshoski explore the amazing life and career of heavy metal pioneer and cultural icon Lemmy Kilmister, the life force behind the enduring, influential band Motörhead.

Over more than four decades, the drug-fueled, raspy-voiced Kilmister's career has intersected with many of the touchstone moments in rock: He saw the Beatles at the Cavern Club, he served as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix, he mentored Sid Vicious and played in both Merseybeat and psychedelic rock bands before fusing punk and metal and thus providing the inspiration for thrash metals with Motörhead.

Along the way, he forever inspired the likes of Dave Grohl, Slash and Metallica, all of whom appear in LEMMY, alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Peter Hook, Jarvis Cocker and more.

My Thoughts:
Wow, what a man. What a career. I love the motorhead. And i love rock and roll. What a ride they put us trough in this 2 hour long documentery. We get some cool interviews from other big names in the music world, and ofc we get to follow Lemmy himself around on gigs, at his home. And he is 100% honest about his life, wich is very refreshing to me. This blurayset with over 200minutes with just bonus features is a must have of any music fan out there. What a great movie!

Plot:
Nature strikes out with unfathomable fury as the unimaginable becomes a terrifying reality. Three twisters descend upon Las Vegas leaving a neon wasteland in their wake. Hurricanes tear through the Gulf Coast without warning. Record-high temperatures scorch the northeast. One-hundred-mile-an-hour winds tear across the south. Lightning storms ignite the sky. Wildfires blaze out of control. For Amy Harkin, a budding Chicago anchorwoman looking for her big break, the fear of these weather anomalies is second only to the dread of the inevitable repercussions: rolling coast-to-coast blackouts and the dwindling sources needed to revive them. With the worst power breakdown on record looming, an overload could cripple the nation and leave the entire population in the dark, without communication and vulnerable to unthinkable dangers.

My Thoughts:
This is a TV miniseries... and as it is with most tv movies and miniseries there is some familiar faces from other Television shows in it. In this case we have Thomas Gibson (Dharma & Greg) and Nancy McKdon (The Facts of Life). It is a good story and I definitely enjoyed it. But that being said it could definitely been better. I found that while some of the storm effects were cool... others was really lacking. I also found I just didn't care about some of the characters. But over all it is worth the watch. This one did get a sequel miniseries (Category 7: End of the World) which I enjoyed even more then this one.

My Thoughts:
Watching this film the first thing I notice is it takes too long to get to the horror aspects ofthe film. I know that horror is not the primary focus of these films but it makes ita little harder for someone like me to get through it. There was some things I liked about the movie... and some things I didn't. I really enjoyed the side story of the killings and the protection of Bella. Even though it is only slight... it put a horror aspect into the show for me. I absolutely hated the aspect of how they changed the effects of sunlight on vampires, though that did explain away how they could be out in the day time. I did kind of like the fact that there could be good and bad vampires... just like in the human race. I didn't care much for the narration of Bella's in portions of the movie. The idea of the narration wasn't bad.... but the flowery romance novel like writing of it put me off. But this show still didn't impress me a whole lot. I really can't see where this whole Twilight-mania is coming from. But then again... I guess I am really not the target audience either.

My Thoughts:
I am actually surprised to say that I enjoyed this one a little more then the previous one. I would say it is just about as good as the first one. Granted that still not saying a whole lot. But while this one continues on with the teen angst and romance... it also brings back some good action/horror elements.

Title: Motel Hell
Year: 1980
Director: Kevin Connor
Rating: Rated 18 : Strong Language and Horror
Length: 101 Min.
Video: Widescreen 1.85:1
Audio: English: PCM: 2-Channel Stereo, Commentary: PCM: 2-Channel Stereo
Subtitles: English

Stars:
Rory Calhoun
Paul Linke
Nancy Parsons
Nina Axelrod
Wolfman Jack
Elaine Joyce

Plot:
"It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent fritters!" cackle the brother-and-sister team behind the finest smoked meats in the county. They also run the friendly Motel Hello (the 'o' in the neon sign sometimes goes on the blink), and no matter how many times you've seen Psycho or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you can be sure that everything will be perfectly above board here as Vincent’s brother Bruce is the local sheriff.

Western veteran Rory Calhoun gives a lipsmackingly demented performance as Farmer Vincent, whose twinkling bonhomie conceals a deeply depraved secret.

Directed by Kevin Connor (maker of much-loved British genre classics The Land That Time Forgot and Warlords of Atlantis) and with legendary DJ Wolfman Jack as a fire-and-brimstone TV preacher, this is a gleefully twisted horror-comedy that climaxes with a showstopping chainsaw duel.
