Finally... Repo the Genetic Opera!

So I have finally sat down and watched "Repo: The Genetic Opera". I know, where have a been right? It seems right up my alley. Being a Musical Horror movie and all. And although it can't hold a candle to Rocky Horror, or even Hedwig for that matter. I still did enjoy it. The songs were good, despite being a little over sung for my taste. What really makes this movie good is the beautiful sets and costume, and the plot. A great story, though sometimes over acted, lays beneath the glamour, glitter, and blood. I love the casting, and all the random cameos are awesome! Overall I am quite happy with the film. Not ecstatic, but happy.

Night of the Living Dorks

Oh how I love foreign cinema, especially foreign horror. And I'm really digging the European wave that's happening right now. So I am not surprised that I am so in love with "Night of the Living Dorks". This German film is everything a dork like me really wants in a movie. Humor, Teen angst, and oh yeah Zombies. I desperately hope that they never remake this movie, because I hold it so dear. But of course I'm sure they will. But seriously check out this film. Its about three friends who accidentally get turned into Zombies, making these three dorks well, instantly cooler. Cute story, though predictable, and a little cliche. Its one of those films that makes you smile. And that's always a good thing, even in the horror genre.

On a side note, Walking Dead Vol.2 is another thing I am totally hooked on at the moment. The first Volume was a bit slow, but it leads to a complicated web of character arcs that hook you in, so you have to buy the next one. Part Soap Opera, Part Zombie survival graphic novel. I can't wait to read the next one.
