13 Game of Death:
The film follows a man who is deeply in debt and just lost his job. He thinks he is doomed until he gets a
call from a game show. They say that for every task he completes he will be awarded more and more
money. If he completes all 13 tasks he will win one million dollars. If he chooses to end the game or
breaks the rules of the game the game will end and he will lose all of the money he has already won. Oh
yeah, and the game starts NOW!
This fabulous film comes all the way from Thailand, but don't worry my little American fiends there is no
need to broaden your horizons and learn a new language with this one-- you can pick up the dubbed
version! Let's face it, the plot alone tells you that he will have to complete a number of tasks that most
likely increase in difficulty, so it is safe to assume that things might get pretty intense, but even your
girl Rosie could not have seen this one coming! This film had me on the edge of my autopsy table DYING
to see what happened next! I give this movie a joyful two rotting thumbs up!
So my darlings... wanna play?

The Strangers:
Well, this is a first for me. I have seen more films than I can remember that have good plots but were
poorly made... this is not one of those films. The Strangers has very little plot and the one it does have
moves slower than coagulatted blood! It follows a couple who after returning from a friend's wedding
begin to be terrorized by a group of maniacs. Basically the commercials explained the entire plot. What
makes The Strangers stand out from the rest is that although the plot is poor the film itself was
fabulous! The suspense was built up beautifully, the blood and gore was artistically placed, and the
jump scenes could revive the dead!

This film isn't going to go over well for those horror fans who just want to see a head chopped off and
some big breasted chick in a tight wet t-shirt bouncing around on screen. This is for the fan who can
truely appriciate the skill that went into creating a genuinely suspenseful film. These are the fans that
still watch Vertigo and Rosemary's Baby while sitting at the end of their seat shouting at the T.V. for
Mia Farrow to just get the hell out of there! So if you are the type of person who can put up with a
slow plot as long as you watch a really well made film then I highly recommend this one.

Fido:
Nothing is so sweet, and likely to give you diabetes, as the classic tale of a boy and his dog. Well, this
is a "boy and his dog" story for those of us that don't need all of that extra sugar!

Fido is set in a delightfully kitsch 1950's town after a full blown zombie war. Of course winning the war is
only the beginning, after the great invention of a zombie training collar now when people die and come
back from the dead they can still be contributing members of society! They can serve the dinner, take
out the trash, mow the lawn, and play with the kids.

Fido is your typical dead guy turned undead house keeper until the son in the family decides to be
friends with him. It seems little Timmy has finally found a friend to play with. Of course all good times
must end. After Fido's collar breaks Fido goes right back to his zombie roots and eats one of the
neighbors, now it is up to Timmy to cover up the crime so he doesn't lose his new friend!

I would first like to apologize to Simon Pegg... Simon... Darling... You know I love you, and I loved your
take on the zombie world... but I am such a sucker for over-the-top 1950's stereotypes... Fido has
taken my number one spot for horror comedy. It was genius! It makes me want to slip on my saddle
shoes and go kick some zombie ass! Don't rent this one. Buy it!
