Cracked Jade Glasses

Just got back from the premier of Rob Zombie's latest film "31". Now if you went in to see a beautifully crafted piece of horror film making you will be disappointed. However if you go in looking for trashy exploitation film well do I have good news for you. this film is so entrenched in the grindhouse feel of things that it made me laugh most of the way through it's not subtle or unpredictable it's a junkheap of a carnival ride that just wants to entertain you in the same way, I mean the main protagonists are carny workers that honestly until you see the human garbage they're stacked up against would be the people you wouldn't mind see dying. but that's what I liked they said you know what we don't need to make them likeable just make their fate so messed you would go no one should have to go through that. the villain's or "heads" as they're referred as are gloriously depraved and more set-pieces for messed up deaths than characters. you ever wanted to see a Nazi midget clown that speaks Spanish sometimes stab a guy? well now you can. and that's the whole idea you ever want ____ to happen to ____ while ____ happens? and its just these ideas strung together through a game of death. while Malcolm McDowell clad in dandy garb bets with his fellow weirdos about the evenings festivities. for me personally Richard Brake stole the show as Doom-head nearly everytime he was on screen I laughed and just waited for whatever sick thing burst forth from his mouth. this movie doesn't challenge you or bring forth any new concepts ,but for me it didn't need to it just needed to entertain me. so if your looking for some new thing to haunt your nightmares look elsewhere. if your looking for captivating overblown exploitation goodness this will suit your needs just fine
