Superbad
Superbad is the latest film from the filmmakers of the 40- Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. The film is about a couple teen slackers (Michael Cera, Johan Hill) who are interest in hooking up with a couple of girls before they head off to the wonderful world of college. In order to do that, they need liquor so that they can host a party. They convince a nerdy friend was has a fake ID to help them in their quest. Soon a couple of dimwitted cops (Seth Rogan (who also co-wrote the screenplay), Bill Hader) get in their way of getting the liquor and makes the teens quest to score with a couple of girls difficult. Do they complete their quest or does their night end in failure?
Oh, the Humanity. Don’t let the fact fool you that this made by the people who brought you Knocked Up. Superbad is a film that sets the comedy genre back fifteen years. This film was like watching a train wreck to the point where it was laughable for all the wrong reasons. This is non-stop stupidity at it’s finest. I would love to have been a bee on the wall, when the screenwriters (Evan Goldberg, Seth Rogan) wrote this film because it seemed they decided that there was no need for a story or character development, when they wrote the screenplay, if you can call that a screenplay. I thought the humor sucked, as it was redundant, ridiculous, repetitive, disgusting, and way over the top. It’s a non-stop parade of trash filled with awful sex jokes and expletives. The acting wasn’t much better either. The leads in the film were annoying!!! They seemed like they were having way too much fun, as their characters were not interesting at all.
Talk about wasting two hours of your life on a film. Please, I never want to see a sequel to film, ever. The only thing Superbad does right is live up to its title. This film is Superbad.

A Feast of Flesh
A Feast of Flesh was a film I caught at the Rhode Island International Horror Festival this past October. It’s the first release from E.I. Cinema’s new label Bloody Earth Films. The film is about a cease-fire that’s been going on for generations between the vampire prostitutes at the Bathory House and the vampire hunters. But the war intensifies, when a young woman (Stacy Bartlebaugh-Gmys) wants to give her body, blood and soul to the Bathory’s Madame (Amy Lynn Best). Soon her boyfriend (Aaron Bernard) finds out that she’s joined the Bathory’s Madame and attempts to rescue her. This will lead to a chain of events that threaten an all out war between vampires and humans. Matt Watt directs and writes this film. It also features cameos from April Monique Burril (Chainsaw Sally) and Debbie Rochon (Tromeo and Juilette, Witchouse 3: Demon Fire).
Horror fans will have a fun time with A Feast of Flesh, as it has plenty of gore and nudity. I thought Mike Watts’s screenplay was good, as the story was entertaining for the little plot it had and feel boring. Mike Watt also has supporting role in the film, in which he uses an Irish accent that made me crack up sometimes. The action scenes in the movie were average. The performances in the film were good, as the three main actors had good chemistry with each other and kept the story interesting. Please note: this is definitely not for young children, as it’s unrated. A Feast of Flesh is a fun little gory vampire B movie that gore- hounds will enjoy.
