if you threw the great outdoors , monty python , and friday the 13th into a blender , you ' d have decampitated .

even though they know very little about camping , seven unsuspecting friends decide to take a vacation in the wilderness , winding up in the infamous haunted woods of decamp acres . the bloody fun begins when the decampitated crew start to die at the hands of a mysterious killer . bang your head against the screen as flesh flies to the beautiful soundtrack which includes music from h20 , strife , coalesce , hatebreed and many more .
some well - orchestrated set - ups , editing and camerawork cannot make up for the puerile , supposedly self - referential humour ( fart jokes , three stooges slapstick violence – so it’s no wonder troma picked this up ) that soon grate . the juxtaposition of big band music and nu - metal is a welcome attempt to make the movie aurally interesting but the overuse of a ‘surprise’ musical motif is simply painful . the slim ideas in decampitated may have worked as a short but as a feature the material is over - stretched . and in the 90s , using fear of transvestites is pretty lame . despite the aforementioned stylish shots and a few laughs that work , , this attempt at a horror comedy is more likely to induce yawns than guffaws .

you know , we don ' t get many visitors up this way !
. . .
as you would guess from the title a tongue - in - cheek ( at least i hope ) amateurish slasher movie . language , gore , no nudity or sex
total crap when lack of imagination and writing skills meet cheesy special effects you know you have a tromateam release . since when are juvenile antics considered movie making talent ? when i saw troma on the movie intro i knew it was going to be a suckfest . i think the cover art cost more than the making of this movie .
it starts slow and stupid but ends in a classic way not to be . . .
it ' s a toma production so you should know what your getting . it starts slow and stupid but ends in a classic way not to be missed . stick it out and enjoy . cheers .
it was pretty good . i will watch it again just to . . .
so silly , it was pretty good . i will watch it again just to see if i missed anything .
stupid movie . watched a few minutes and that was it . very very stupid .

a pretty awful movie . i watched a few minutes waiting for it to get better . it never did .

sound effects - heavy slasher spoof from troma that ' s creative and totally watchable despite being an amateur effort with a handful of writers and a heavy reliance on the ' 90s obsession with duct tape , i would have called it enjoyable if they didn ' t depict a trans woman as a sexual deviant [ at least she isn ' t the killer ? ] .
i can ' t stop laughing . . . . they have almost everything in this movie . . . bad script , bad acting . . . the work . so sad . . . i need to get a live . ( you too…
my boy frank came over with whiplash and pans labyrinth on blu - ray so of course i made him watch this on vhs . very close to being so bad it’s good . way too much bullshit in between kills , and it’s way too long . the music and sound effects are pretty funny tho . the transphobia is awful and gross but completely unsurprising from a 90s troma flick . they always made a point to punch down . it’s all so fucking 90s .
troma should have a sub - label for most of the movies it releases titled
trying too hard , just watch tromeo and juliet again
.
i was looking at some uh pictures this 30 something yoga instructor divorcee from seattle sent me while i was watching this so i kind of wasn ' t paying attention until the dude showed up at the cross dresser ' s house and everyone started getting hacked up to nu metal .
don’t let the cover fool you , there’s no tits in this one . this was my first introduction to troma ( except for that they had something to do with the original english dub of totoro ? what the fuck ? ) and it was like someone tried to film a feature length youtube sketch in the style of an offspring music video . the gags were very low effort . it was ok .
i ' m hesitant to rate this , because i know how difficult it can be to make a 90 - minute slasher - comedy set in the woods . classic 90s troma , wacky and zany and incoherent and gross . the transphobia ' s pretty awful , though .

given chinatown’s reputation as an exotic food haven , perhaps it is inevitable that a film based entirely on an illicit gourmet club’s quest to eat a komodo dragon should feature it at some point . marlon brando spoofs his godfather character the freshman ‘s jaunt around the island of manhattan , which wouldn’t be complete without hapless film student matthew broderick stopping over in chinatown along the way .

meanwhile , europacorp / stxfilms’ sci - fi epic valerian and the city of a thousand planets , from luc besson , and universal’s african - american female comedy girls trip from malcolm d . lee tied with $ 1 . 7m in preview cash . girls trip was in play at 2 , 195 venues , while valerian was in about 2 , 600 venues . the r - rated girls trip started showtimes at 7 pm , while valerian started at 5 pm to hook younger viewers .
for an authentic chinatown drama that examines the duality of american / chinese culture , look no further than the excellent saving face , starring twin peaks’ joan chen . essentially acted in two languages , mandarin and english , saving face makes the most of its chinatown setting in this tale of a chinese - american surgeon’s struggle to come out to her traditionally - minded mother .
abel ferrara is justly famous for his utilization of new york locations and king of new york , starring christopher walken , makes the most of its setting , particularly in a chinatown shootout between walken’s henchmen and the chinese tong gangs , in which ferrara returns to the environs of his 1987 film china girl .
it’s upsetting given besson’s time and investment here , and he deserves credit for being audacious and getting his vision made outside the studio system . besson was always in front of the film promoting it , showing off concept drawings to the fanboy press two years ago here at comic - con , returning again to san diego last year , flying back to the states with star cara delevingne for cinemacon in march to talk up the film to exhibitors ; the director never mailed in promoting this film .

lurid thriller 9½ weeks features a chelsea gallery worker ( kim basinger ) who romances mickey rourke’s wall street broker after meeting him – where else ? – in chinatown , which forms the original backdrop for a romance so steamy that the film is available in at least two cuts : a tepid r - rated one or the much - more acclaimed unrated edition .
darren aronofsky’s dazzling pi locates the home of its puzzled mathematician hero in chinatown , where his mental isolation is driven home by his status as a minority in the neighborhood and by the squalid state of his apartment . asked by filmmaker magazine about his ethnically diverse cast after the movie’s release , aronofsky replied , “well , that’s chinatown . ”

unsurprisingly , chinatown has also had a vivid life in motion pictures , making early appearances in detective fare like torchy blane in chinatown ( 1939 ) and the musical on the town ( 1949 ) – in which it is treated as an essential element of the modern city – prior to its current status as a mainstay of chase scenes and dining room set pieces ( recall seinfeld ’s famous “ cartwright ! ” gag ) . and then there are the films in which it is allowed to be more than a shorthand for nyc diversity and displays its real - life locations and culture . below are our choice of films that show off chinatown in all its rush - hour hubbub and streetlit vivacity .
one film financier pointed out to deadline that valerian ‘s reported $ 205m production cost was far too high when it came to starting a new franchise . breaking down the film’s financing structure is akin to a calculus project , but there’s no upside here for anyone . stxfilms has a distribution fee that’s close to 10 % per sources and $ 5m invested in the film . p & a was largely handled by europacorp because of a lot this — the presence at the comic - cons , a one sheet , the first trailer — was overseen by europacorp when it as at red . they were always on the hook for the bulk of the $ 60m domestic p & a , i hear . overseas , each foreign territory handling distribution is on the hook for p & a . lionsgate has valerian in the uk and domestic home entertainment .

a favorite childhood comic of besson’s , valerian has been in the director’s head ever since he completed 1997’s the fifth element . his urge to make the film only quickened in the wake of james cameron’s 2009 spectacle avatar , which then took vfx and 3d to the limit . stxfilms is handling valerian as part of a distribution deal with europacorp and receiving a distribution fee . valerian expands to 3 , 553 theaters today .
valerian brings to mind david lynch’s 1984 film dune , only as a reminder that sci - fi is a gamble , and that it comes at a hefty price especially when the genre demands to be presented just right . that ornate movie cost $ 40m and went belly - up with close to $ 31m at the domestic b . o . valerian , like dune with sting , even shoe - horned in a pop star –rihanna — in an effort to pull in teens . we’ll have more updates for you in the morning .

after chinatown and throughout the 1980s big action blockbusters such as top gun , and teen dramas like the breakfast club were the films of choice for millions of american cinemagoers . even directors such as martin scorsese and francis ford coppola renowned for their crime classics of the 70s turned their attention to different subject matter throughout the 80s . it was not until the 90s that the crime film had something of a renaissance , with goodfellas , carlito’s way and casino sitting alongside l . a . set classics such as boyz in the hood , reservoir dogs and pulp fiction . among these great works were two l . a . set films which proved to be the high points of this renaissance .

los angeles has long been the setting for some of american cinema’s most iconic films . with its ethnically and agriculturally diverse landscape , the home of hollywood has provided inspiration to generations of filmmakers . since its 1940s golden age , which produced film - noir classics such as double indemnity ( 1944 ) , the big sleep ( 1946 ) , starring humphrey bogart and lauren bacall , and james cagney’s white heat ( 1949 ) , the los angeles set crime thriller has enthralled american cinemagoers . from the classic film - noir of the 40s to the slick existential pieces of today , los angeles has provided a unique backdrop to the brooding romantics , the car chases , the gun fights and daring heists that have immortalised so many of our favourite films . what is it though about these l . a . stories that set them apart ? what is it that makes los angeles such a unique setting for so many cinematic masterpieces ?
we’ve seen other zany sci - fi work before at the b . o . , read 2009’s avatar ( which wasn’t based on specific source material ) and marvel’s guardians of the galaxy . avatar was a feat never seen before ( it even inspired besson to make valerian ) from james cameron , director of the then - highest - grossing film of all time ( titanic ) who had been absent for 12 years from feature - length fictional filmmaking . with gunn’s dazzling visuals , a machine - gun - toting raccoon , a big old tree and blue and green people , guardians possessed a lot of heart which grounded its dramatic sensibilities with the masses . it also carried the marvel brand , a quality good housekeeping seal to moviegoers .
satan appears in a convent and takes the guise of a priest . before long he is causing all manner of perturbation and despair .
in a summer where we’ve griped about the lack of original ip , here comes a fresh sci - fi title ( granted , based on a french comic ) , and it falls completely on its face . while we could monday - morning quarterback the reasons why valerian is failing , one of the primary reasons aside from its exorbitant production cost ( which we now hear isn’t $ 180m , but rather $ 205m net ) was the film’s late july release date . besson staked this date for the film more than two years ago when valerian was scheduled to be released via red , europacorp ’s distribution joint venture with relativity . but arriving in the wake of war for the planet of the apes and spider - man : homecoming , and against christopher nolan’s dunkirk , does zero favors .

this is not just a funny comedy , but also a well - made film with great quality . the actions , funny scenes , dialogues were orchestrated in such a great way that it drew every second of my attention . wang baoqiang did a great job in playing a character that is both silly and witty , wild and cowardly , someone you want to slap in the face but also give a dollar out of pity . i usually justify things in a quantitative way . and here is the math : the average driving speed of the vehicles in the movie is about 20 % of the avg . driving speed in 007 spectre ; but the car chase scenes are five times more intense with the cars looking way faster that those in 007 spectre . my opinion might be biased since i was able to

the ostensible point of watters’s segment was to survey chinese - americans about donald trump and the state of sino - american relations . but watters quickly determined that both he and the o’reilly factor audience were less interested in the political views of mott street residents than they were in how chinese - americans would respond to a white man with a microphone reciting stereotypes about them .

it’s possible this woman disclosed that she was a chinese citizen just visiting the city . but in the clip , she’s implicitly presented as a chinese immigrant residing in lower manhattan . and yet watters casts her as a representative of the chinese government , not one of “us . ”
initially , seeing this auteur spectacle dated in july amid a sea of franchises prompted concern : wouldn’t it be better to launch dunkirk at the onset of fall festival awards season , rather than watch it get buried ? we hear it was always nolan’s preference to have dunkirk go in late july . it’s a good - luck charm time on the release schedule given that’s where the dark knight movies opened and legged out .
in addition , with a property like this that appeals largely to a european / foreign audience , one wonders why domestic is even going first . while we heard besson wanted the best digital and 3d theaters overseas in the late summer , why not hold domestic until the last market ? that’s what legendary would do with a big gamble that they know will fall flat in the u . s .
while tracking had dunkirk , a $ 150m production , between $ 35m - $ 40m for the weekend , the british world war ii film has heated up in the wake of stellar reviews with 91 % certified fresh on rotten tomatoes . as such , a much bigger three - day at 3 , 720 theaters — potentially touching $ 50m — isn’t out of the question . couple this with the fact that dunkirk notched a fantastic 69 % definite recommend and 89 % positive score in early posttrak audience polls from comscore / screen engine . what’s interesting here is that men and women under 25 gave the film its best scores despite not leading the charge at the b . o . : men under 25 ( 17 % ) gave the nolan pic a 95 % score , while women under 25 ( 14 % ) gave it a 94 % . men over 25 , of course , outnumbered everyone at 47 % and an 88 % positive score , while their females counterparts repped 22 % of the pic’s ticket buyers last night with an 81 % positive score . forty - seven percent of the audience said they bought tickets because they’re intrigued by the subject of dunkirk , while 18 % attributed it to reviews . twenty - four percent said they attended because they are nolan fans , a stat that towers over the 16 % who cited the cast as their chief reason for going .
some rival estimates even think dunkirk could get to $ 57m - $ 59m by the end of its opening frame .
unfortunately , many could see this one coming like an asteroid hurtling toward earth . while besson tried to rip a page out of james gunn’s soundtrack book by marrying a classic pop tune ( the beatles’ “because” ) with the eye - popping sci - fi glamour on - screen in the first trailer , rival studio marketing chiefs found it too manic in its alien - human drama , and the title was over the top ( “city of a thousand planets…what does that even mean ? ! ” remarked one to deadline ) .
“ dunkirk will somehow make money , ” one packager praised about its prospects . “don’t ask me how , but i am done betting against chris nolan . ” as pointed out previously , interstellar with a cost $ 165m before p & a turned a $ 47m - plus profit .
trump has often performed this rhetorical move , denying nonwhite americans claim to his nationality . judge gonzalo curiel was “a mexican” because of where his parents were born . orlando shooter omar mateen was an afghan for similar reasons .
after the 1940s heyday the film - noir crime thrillers made popular by the likes of john huston and billy wilder were eclipsed by the big budget sand and sword epics , spaghetti westerns and spy thrillers of the 50s and 60s technicolor age . it was not until the 70s that the crime thriller really captured imaginations once again , though it was new york city that provided much of the inspiration for these crime classics , such as t he french connection ( 1971 ) , the godfather ( 1972 ) and dog day afternoon ( 1973 ) . there was however an exception , heavily inspired by the writings of raymond chandler , that encapsulated the film - noir of the 40s and was steeped in the history of america’s second largest city .

anand ( rajnikanth ) is the unbeaten motorcycle champion six years in a row . winning the championship brings him into contact with uma ( jyothi ) , the daughter of thilakavathy ( sukumari ) , a haughty , rich woman . uma hates him for his dark complexion but this naturally soon turns into love ( a forcible kiss is all it takes ! ) . but thilakavathy has more aces up her sleeve . she deceives anand and uma into thinking that she agrees to their wedding while secretly planning to get uma married off to a boy of her choice . she gets anand locked up on the day of the wedding . anand escapes but is unable to stop the wedding . the next time they meet , uma sees anand happily married to kalyani ( sarita ) and with a child while she informs him that she too is happily married with two children .
the movie starts off just like any other poorly handled rajnikanth movie . a rather long motorcycle race that tries but fails to be exciting , a sparkless love story that starts off with a quarrel before turning romantic and a confrontation with the haughty , landlady ( a la maappillai ) all give a sense of ' been there , seen that ' . the romance between rajni and jyothi is weak with no inkling of chemistry between them . her ploy of dismantling her car battery to get him to offer her a ride raises a few smiles .
things start to get better once sukumari ' s plan gets into action . there is genuine suspense as rajni ' s plans for marrying jyothi and sukumari ' s alternative plan for jyothi marrying a boy of her choice , proceed in parallel . the resolution of this is an even bigger surprise as sukumari wins this battle by getting jyothi married as per her wishes while rajni has to be a silent onlooker unable to do anything about it . at this point there is some real suspense about how the rest of the movie is going to unfold .
but the movie again sinks into predictability after a little while . poor handling of the sequences makes the truth apparent and so happenings on screen seem forced and an unnecessary postponement of the inevitable . the only suspense is how the truth is going to be revealed to the players . and there are not many thrills or surprises in this either . in fact , the sequence of events in the second half forget to address many of the issues from the first half . for instance , there is no mention of rajni ' s brother ' thengai ' srinivasan at all .
rajni fans must have been disappointed to see their hero in such an anti - trademark role . he never fits into the purely romantic mode needed for the hero in such a movie but the movie doesn ' t offer him much oppurtunity for comedy or action either . jyothi lacks both glamour and acting skills and naturally , was lost after this movie . sukumari makes a mark as the hard - hearted mother . ilaiyaraja does his turn with the melodious vellai puraa ondru . . . and vaa vaa vasanthame . . . .

the movie wastes no time in introducing the hero of this film , played by rajini ( going to be a regular in retroreview , i guess ) . it’s motorbike racing . assembled are bikes that looked like they came straight from all - in - all - azhaguraja ( aiaa ) workshop .
rajini arrives in one wearing what looks like a swimming cap . or was it his helmet . then the race begins . the announcer narrates the entire proceeding as if he was telling the mahabaratha story over the radio .
it would hardly be justifying calling it a race . it was more like a stroll in the park . the racers looks more like rallying for some cause , maybe for better quality bikes .
rajini himself has to go through some turbulence like the bike not starting ( where’s aiaa when you need him ) . but the filmmaker , sensing that we would dismiss the race as non - race , had the racing bikers to overtake bullock carts . those speed demons !
anyway , rajini wins of course , and receives the price from the films heroine , jyothi an actress who’s achne spots are more than the number of films she did .
okay , here’s the thing i disliked about this film . the bike racing and the bike riding was what between a good film that this is and a great film which it could have been . i mean , it could have been okay if the bike was harley davidson or the chopper thingy raghuvaran was bumming about with in siva . the aiaa bike already looked too old and clumsy when the film first came out .
there’s a bit of formula that you know . girl dislikes boy , boy teachers her lesson , girl likes boy , boy likes girl , and the girl’s mother gets henchmen to beat the living daylights out of the boy’s uncle .
yeah , played by tenggai sreenivasan , he’s the girl’s family driver , and he overhears the part where the girl and her friends discuss how disgustingly black rajini was ( at the beginning , later she embraces black , literally ) . angered , he stopped the car he was ferrying them with , gets out , scolds them , and throws in the key , the cap , uniform and…
…thank god he doesn’t remove his pants . if there are still many guys out there in their thirties or forties , still scarred by something that happened in their childhood / youth , to the point that they became homophobic , i got two words : topless tenggai ( tt ) .
anyway , thanks to tt , a sight that also would horrify any decent acne - scarred girls , tt was punished with whipping to the point that he still got almost topless again due to torn shirt . hah ! you know what happens next , rajini , after finding out , tears into the rich lady’s bungalow in the aiaa bike , and gives the henchmen who whipped tt , his share of lashing ( rajini usually don’t lash whip , he goes apeshit insane with it ) .
so , the girl’s mother , played by veteran “please hate me” mother / mother - in - law , sukumari , harbours hatred towards him . you know , he’s dark - skinned , low - wage earning , aaia bike riding bloke who has more hair than the all of the three stooges combined * .
: sukumari was shown as evil by the filmmaker by focussing on her fierce looking face , then on the stuffed tiger head in the background , back to her , back to tiger , back to her , back to tiger , back to her , back to… . arrrr , i got it mr . director , she’s evil ! end of aside .
in the meantime , romance developed between rajini and “scarface” jyothi . they greet each other with yellow flag , and yell off a mountain to echo “i love you” , kinda 80s version of text messaging and facebook wall status . and off we go to a beautiful song , “vellai pura ondru” .
then , the song finishes and usually it’s rajini back whopping some bad guys’ ass . nooo…he was still romancing her . involuntarily i yelled , “hey , the duet finished already - lah” . and voluntarily , with some domestic violence included , my wife yelled , “let them - lah . what’s your bloody problem ? ” to those who are new to this blog , my wife is a hardcore fanatic terrorist fan of rajini and refers to him as “appa” ( dad ) .
and the romance goes on and on and on and on…and i bet the bad guys and henchmen were frustrated and retreated to the nearest tea stall .
of course the mother being evil , this time she stands next to a full taxidermy tiger , gets to know about this relationship . to summarise the plot at this point , she opposes , then she relents and of course you know she’ll be up to something . you know this not because we have a bit of thinking capability . no , it’s because she was looking fierce besides a stuffed tiger . thanks director .
blah , blah , blah , rajini gets tied up literally in a chair , and elsewhere jyothi was getting married . and this henchman , who was supposed to guard the tied up rajini , wanted something to read . i mean , what else can there be in that room ? bagavad geetha ? wall street journal . no , rajini’s diary of course . he reads it , becomes saddened by rajini’s plight , and actually releases him .
imagine if all the heroes carry diaries with them . in fact , vijayakanth’s films would be quarter its length .
vijayakanth : before we indulge in overlong fights , and do unrealistic stunts . would you like to read my diary ?
pakistani terrorist : sure dude . wait let me hang this ak47 . ( reads the diary and tears flows free from his eyes ) oh my god , what have i done . can i be an indian citizen ? pretty please ?
anyway , rajini’s too late ( it’s that bloody aaia bike , i tell you . he would have reached faster with a mountain bike ) and some junior artist ties thali around jyothi’s neck . too late , dude . as per the norm since the nageswararao days , he hits the bottle which immediately provides enough testosterone to give him beard overnight .
cut to present day . he is sulking , and he apparently has a kid , a girl , and wife . and some dude played by delhi ganesh fixing things in the house . by chance , jyothi would be in the same town as he is , working as a teacher . he’s married , she’s married . but he still yearns for her , and what happens ?
well , readers , this is the part where this review will get boring . not that the scenes are terrible , i have quoted the terrible ones . this is the part where the movie gets awesome . this is the part where you rajini fans can thump your chest and be proud to call yourselves his fan .
he is simply fantastic . there are long , quiet scenes later in the movie that would have made a hack actor awkward . but rajini pulls it off professionally ; the subtle change of expressions has to be seen to be believed . especially when both rajini and jyothi meet again after the aaia bike denied rajini of last minute ass kicking and eloping .
and the ones that catch me off - guard each time i revisit the film is the romance . you would never have seen or would probably never see rajini this romantic . wife suggested that he probably did homework by hanging out long hours with kamal . and the strength of this performance that convinces us on how he could not let her go even after she was married . the last half an hour will really tug your heart , thanks to his and her performance . yes , all my insults apart , she’s a pretty good actress . too bad she didn’t have the look to last longer in the industry .
add that to some nice songs , the sad version of the duet mentioned , ada vare vaa , where rajini and the girl demonstrates various yoga moves in fast forward , and the beautiful , vaa vaa vasanthame , this is a highly revisitable movie . and close your kids eyes when tt scenes occur .
