MOVIE REVIEW FOR- HOSTEL PART II

From two points of view-
_"as a horror addicted fan of gore"- I give it a B for gore.
the few moments that did contain gore in this movie were blunt, quick and unrelenting. I know I flinched at the "blood bath" scene. Ugh. But that's good! In a gory way.
It has some of the same elements as the first one, character build up and such that made one feel for the victims. Lauren German was amazing tho, and beautiful throughout the film. Esp when she took charge at the end and de-manned Stuart. Bra....vo. I suppose. I felt sorry for Heather's character. Todd just messed up and left her there. Ha. Poor girl. She didn't even get to die.
I mean, in general, good gore. If, that is , you want to wait through the BS to get to it.

_"as a serious critic"- I gave it an F for quality.
Come on, seriously. What kind of sick person would ENJOY this? It's horrible. It's only desensitzing you, you know. It's only harming you.
Okay, the hostel series does have a certain appeal to it. The story is original and the characters get into it, but they ruin it by filling it with dragged out scenes of gagging and whimpering (and more recently in the new one) castration. I'm sorry, but I go to the movies for a good time, not to leave feeling dirty and gritty, and like I really need to shower. That's not what people go to the movies for.
So Eli Roth has created a very masterful film, and crapped on it. So uh...yeah. bad film.

Favorite scene-
Near the end, when stuart and todd are going into thier rooms, and that beautiful music is playing. I actually felt a catch in my throat during that song.

Least Favorite scene-
I'm going to have to say all the women kissing and touching each other. or at least that one that did. gross.

most gory scene?-
blood bath city, baby.

Hello :D

Might have to give Hostel II a gander, looks pretty good :D

I've changed around my blog a bit, so next time you go onto it, don't be shocked when it's all different.

Just thought it's a time for change!

Liking the new photo, by the way, beautiful as ever :P Even though you won't admit it..

Speak soon,
Myk x x

Me again :D

Just thought I'd tell you, I'm running from some people in my school who managed to find my blog somehow..

My new URL is www.myasylumofdepression.blogspot.com

Not much different yeah, but they won't find it now.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Not literally running...

Some people from school managed to find their way onto my blog somehow..

And I've got a bit of stick for stuff I've written on there, some stuff that might be more clear to them than to you because they know me better...

So I've changed my URL, just so they can't get to my blog anymore..

That's what I meant by running.

So not in danger, just trying to avoid it..

Speak soon, x x

My fourth comment on this post :D


And I'll write a post about it soon, when I get around to it, but no it didn't make me feel uncomfortable!

Was actually still quite flattered XD

And I haven't always been, it only came along around the time I started this blog..

Now you'll understand why I had to run from those people more, because they could kill me with sticks if they found out :D

I'm just glad to hear that you're not gonna disown me as a friend or anything, hehe :P

Speak soon,
xx
