Rob Zombie and his movies part 1

I have seen a lot of Rob Zombie's movies. I believe the first movie of his I saw was Grindhouse. It was interesting, to say the least, as there were two movies, one right after the other, Planet Terror and Death Proof. I like the part that Kurt Russell played in Death Proof. He was main character so I think it really brought to the movie him being played well. I was just a little surprised at how long it took to show his character, it was about 14 or 15 minutes in. Of course, that was counting a few credits at the beginning of the movie, but , I thought it was going to show him first, rather than after a few other people. Still, I think his opening scene was good, and started off well. At about 45 minutes in, I like the way Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) watches the three girls red car drive off, than smirk before throwing his cigarette aside. All the deaths in the first part are well played. The second part, is.. unexpected, to say the least. The second part picks up about 12 or something months later. The movie brings in a few more girls who stop at a convenience store and catch Mike's eye. The girls drive off and end up borrowing someones car. One of the girls, Zoe Bell I think, gets on the hood of the car holding herself on with only leather belts, while her friend is driving the car at top speeds. Mike follows them. He hits them, attempting to get them in an accident. Both him and the girls end up off the road and Zoe get thrown off the car into some bushes. The first surprise, is how Zoe gets thrown, but a few minutes later turns up unharmed. The second surprise, is how Mike ends up getting beaten up at the end of the movie.

Kurt Russell centered.

 This other one, Planet Terror, as I mentioned earlier, was played at the same time as Death Proof. I noted how Rose McGowan was in both of the movies. Her part was some what larger in latter of the two, compared to the former movie. The most details I remember about the movie was the zombies, thousands of them, and someone had to kill his wife because she had been turned into one. Though, a few of the main characters, including McGowan end up surviving. At the end of the movie, I think that the zombies could and should have cause more damage and deaths than they did. Two other Rob Zombies that I liked, that I have previously done posts on was Halloween I and II. Next, there is House of 1000 Corpses, which is, of course, made by Rob Zombie. What was interesting about this movie, was that if you know who is who, and/or you read the credits, you'll know that Rob Zombie made an uncredited and his wife was one of the more main characters. I just think the whole movie was wonderfully put together. With the picking up a hitchhiker, and the whole legend idea, and the car breaking down (epic!) and the whole ex-husband bit. Lots of good deaths through out the entire movie. The last movie I want to mention is, 31 the Movie, which I'm still wait for it to come out. I want it to come out soon, but I've heard they can't make a movie that fast. As they only got the funding for it just over a month ago, it probably won't be finished at least until the end of 2015, if not somewhere in 2016 or early 2017.

The Upcoming Movie: 31

I've seen quite a few of Rob Zombie's movies, and I liked loved all of them. So when I heard he was coming out with a new movie, 31, I was thinking "I'm going to be first in line to see this movie when it comes out." As of yet, the movie doesn't have release date, but I'm looking fowards to it. Below I have a post for it.

I have heard a few facts about this movie so far. Fact 1: the name of the movie is 31, because it has to do with 5 people having to fight for their lives for 12 hours on Halloween, the 31st. These people been captured the 5 days before Halloween. I believe it was a person being captured per day, but I don't know that for certain. The situation where the people got captured then have 12 hours and need to stay alive like this reminds me, in part, of Saw. Because, in Saw, people would get captured and then they had differant kinds of challenges that they had to face to make it out alive. Fact 2: the name of it is 31, because that is the day that Halloween is always on. Fact 3: who they have to fight for the 12 hours are clowns. Clowns that are quite the nightmare from what I gather. They're pictured below.

I look fowards to seeing it when it comes out. Me and a friend are going to see it together. This was a unique movie because of its funding. Fans could really get involved by donation and getting prizes from Rob Zombies past movies and all kinds of cool things. Unfortunately, by the time I heard about it, the oppertunity to get involved had closed literally yesterday. I wish I could have gotten the chance to get involved, partially just because I could have gotten some stuff like an original Michael Myers mask. But at the very least I get to watch it when the movie comes out. Oh... right. Had I gotten involved, I could have had my name in the credits of the movie. Not getting that was disappointing, to say the least. At any rate, see you all at the movie!

The wonderful remake of Halloween I and II

Another poster, only from II

Halloween I and II were two of the best remakes I have ever seen. They were both absolute masterpieces. After Halloween I, I was thinking "That was one of the best remakes ever, however it'll probably not get a sequel like other movies." Thankfully I was wrong and two years later the same producer made Halloween II. Personally, I think they would have come out nicely had they been in 3-D. With all the violence, murder, shooting ect how could it not? Coincidentally, the director's name fits right in with the movie he was producing. [(Being a horror movie (His name being Rob Zombie.)] Also, his wife (Sheri Moon Zombie) is in it, so it fits in well. Micheal Myers is threat that keeps coming back time after time after time again, that's something that I like about him. He has been hit with several shots multiple
times, burnt, electrocuted, and thought decapitated. Something I really appreciated about the remake of Halloween I is the extra background information it gives, compared to the original Halloween I which gave a minimal amount. At this point they probably (and I could be wrong again) won't remake Halloween III, IV, V, VI, VII, or VIII. It's a shame really, I can only imagine how good they would have come out. Though I suppose they weren't that bad, just could have been filmed better with better technology. I was very pleased when I read in the paper that Halloween I (remake) was doing well and was popular, and I was glad that the reviews agreed with my opinions on the movie. Two years later, I couldn't believe it when I heard that Halloween II (remake) was going so poorly in the polls.  Halloween I and II are both worth rewatching unlike certain other horror movies.
