V/H/S

I love anthology horror movies, from the classic Creepshow to the classic Creepshow 2. Um, maybe I only love these movies in theory? I mean, there was a good segment in Tales from the Darkside and Hood. Anyway, the premise in this movie is some crime dudes have to watch a bunch of snuff monster tapes but they aren't very scary or believable. Coming up with one scenario in which a complete narrative is delivered from found footage is hard enough, much less five.

RATING: 45%

25 Days or Less of Christmas Songs - #21: Reggae Christmas

Five words: Bryan Adams' "Reggae Christmas," wow. While doing this Christmas song project I've listened to and watched videos for quite a few different songs, all of varying quality. However, I don't think I was quite prepared for Bryan freaking Adams' "Reggae Christmas." Initially, I thought I'd just make some jokes about Bryan Adams' being inspired to record the song while he was high (see also: Paul McCartney's "Wondeful Christmastime"). But then I saw the video, three and a half minutes of Pee Wee Herman in a horrible dread wig dancing around an MTV studio while Bryan Adams and his band mime playing the song on stage. Wow.
