Wednesday Night Trip to Lawrence
Thursday, July 28
Last night I made my monthly trek to Lawrence to grab my stash of comic book goodies. So basicly I purchased half of what DC Comics publishes and my lone Image book (Invincible). Soon to be one Marvel book (Sentinel). Like last time, my girlfriend and I ended up spending the whole evening in the town, eating, shopping, and catching a movie. That movie being the Devil's Rejects.
Now, I've not seen Rob's Zombies' earlier effort 'House of a 1,000 Corpses', which I'm told is way different than 'Rejects'. And to some degree I'm glad I hadn't. Because if these two movies are totally different from one another then I'd say I saw the better of the two without seeing 'House'.
I loved the music. They played whole songs. I wish life had a soundtrack, I really do. A lot of the violence was kind of edgy, but worked. I'm not one for horror or thriller flicks, but I enjoyed this. Kept getting this Chainsaw Massacre (2004) feel. The southern backwater hick feel.

At the end I'm glad that Sheriff Wydell really gave it back to the bad guys. I thought it was pretty damn eye for an eye kinda stuff. I thought that it was the end for the title characters. And then I was also happy that the good guy died. Not too many movies feature the bad guy winning much anymore. Furthermore, the last scene where the police finally catchup to our band of evildoers, the song, the slow motion, and the many bullet wounds... beautiful. I'm glad to have seen it. Kind of twisted though. Eh.
End Spoiler.
