The new EVIL DEAD. A Zombie Comedy (Or a ZOMCOM HOROMEDY) to raise the dead in the new ages!

just got home from seeing the new Evil Dead. I can't stop laughing, so either I am totally desensitized to violence, and what is supposed to be scary is really the basis of a new comedy. This whole movie is covered in blood scenes. Still yet I imagine this movie is going to break the funny bone of even the most stubborn horror movie goers. Fede Alvarez's new redirection of this film might leave you wondering why the old one wasn't good enough? That is too say that some may be very disappointed expecting the old story line. But behold some new hero will arise, and you are bound to love them. Now that I got that out- I have to say this, I now have a new favorite Evil Dead movie and I was completely taken by surprise with this new re-visioning of some college kids going camping in the woods. Zombies,  recovering junkies and the Book of the Dead, Oh my! Well that is all I am gonna say about it.... really! I refuse to say too much as the film hasn't opened yet, but you will be pleasantly surprised when you walk into the movie theater to see this film.
If you can't wait to see the new movie, make sure you get tickets and go with at least 4 of your friends, its not as fun unless there is 5 of you.... this way you can figure out your next years horrorhound convention outfits. I expect to see so many zombies out there.

Also not the only change I would make to this movie- WHERE IS THE 3D? That would of made the whole thing so much more amazingly awesome!
3D you hear me- it would of been righteous. Not Overkill. Righteous! I might not of even laughed during the whole thing, but wondered if I was next.

Now if you'll excuse me I am off to having some sweet dreams, and returning emails. Which I will be doing to the EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL- CAST RECORDING!

Starting now: sing with me if you know it- "Cabin in the woods, eeewwww, cabin in the woods, yeah- we're five college students on our way to an old abandoned cabin in the woods.... yadda yadda yadda" and now continue on!

P.S. One more thing - here is the FULL REDBAND TRAILER for those who haven't seen it- try not to blink, and don't get too frightened.

Note: This trailer may be disturbing to some due to images. HEY I WARNED YOU!

Greenday's American Idiot On Tour

                                                             

     Tonight I was fortunate enough to see the touring cast of American Idiot in Columbus, Ohio. The show runs at the Palace Theatre as it opened today  Tuesday, March 19th, 2013. It will run till Sunday, March 24th, 2013. Show times are listed before. Tuesday through Friday at 8:00pm all those evenings. Saturday at 2:00pm and 8:00pm. Sunday at 1:00pm and and 6:30pm. Remember Sunday is the final day of the stop here in Columbus. Tickets start at 28.00.
       
            What is American Idiot? The Musical is centered around Greenday's rock album of the same name. When the band initially wrote the album, they said they said it as a rock opera about the then generation who at times struggled to survive. Take that premise and add in "21st Century Breakdown" and set a story with the music post 9/11, three men struggling to start a family, get by, hold out and keep afloat in a media based community. What paths will they choose? Find out when you take a "Holiday" to see this wildly entertaining show.

           My experience with the show this evening might help you finalize your decision to make sure you don't miss out. As mentioned above the show centers around three guys, a friendship that may or may not be able to stand the test of the times. The females in their life. The choices they make. At times someone my age may relate to these very things. How are we gonna pay the bills? Will we ever make it in life? What are the right steps? Could they ever follow their dreams?

            One scene(featuring the song "21 guns) stands out for me in general and might also help describe a bit more of what goes on in the show, because I don't like video spoilers for shows I am including the song as a streaming file. When listening to this song, imagine one of the guys having fallen into drugs, and his girlfriend trying to care for him, and stop him from being an addict. The scene turns into an empowering moment.  The whole ensemble waking up from what could of been a nightmare, and possibly the wrong path in life realizes they can change their lifes for the better. We find in a later scene one character who has previously joined the military in post 9/11 rage, with the goal to protect his country, and having left his friends- might have issues of his own. This leads into another scene I found rather endearing featuring the song "Before The Lobotomy".  I find this section of the show important as it serves to remind us that many veterans served in war after the 9/11 attacks. Again I don't want to say too much as I don't want to give spoilers - so that when you choose to go, you can enjoy the surprises. I will also include that song before in a video! So you guys can have a few samples of what you might expect to hear at the show.

        Can the ensemble and characters survive hearing bad news, and constant negativity of the media looming post 9/11. Their lives have changed? What will come of them? Once again I thoroughly enjoyed the show and I would like to thank CAPA for letting me review it. I hope you guys check it out.
