Dale and Tucker vs. Evil

I thought it only appropriate that I write my blog post about a horror film because it is Halloween night, and instead of dressing up and going out. I am sitting at the PPECS desk pulling a four hour shift. So instead of doing my job I will now talk about one of my favorite films in the last couple of years. Dale and Tucker vs. Evil.

For those of you who haven't seen the film. First off, you are missing out, and secondly, from a story standpoint it is one of the most original things I have seen in a while. The film follows the story of two good-hearted West Virginia hillbillies who through a series of misunderstandings find themselves to be the victims of a group of college trying to get their friend back. I enjoyed this film so much because it was a great commentary on horror films in general and it is done in a hilarious way. Dale and Tucker are such sweet characters and it is hilarious as the college kids who are trying to kill them keep accidentally killing themselves.

Now don't get me wrong, this film is not for everyone, there is some gratuitous language, violence, and some parts are actually scary. However the film is such an original idea and takes the opposite stand point of what normally horror films are supposed to be about. Plus Katrina Bowden is in the film... which helps a lot.

                                         (Why most people watched this movie.) 

For those of you who enjoy films that are commentaries on genres, this is definitely something that you might want to look into. It is a great commentary on the horror genre and so, so, funny. Also, for those of you who are undecided, here is the trailer.

Wreck It Ralph

I just saw the best animated I have seen in awhile.  The movie was set in an Arcade and it was a bout a bad guy named Ralph who only wanted to be good.  The cool thing about this Arcade was when ever the Arcade closed all the characters could go visit the the other games by going to game central station.

Wreck It Ralph makes many references to other games as you can see in the picture above.  Wreck it Ralph is at a Bad Anon meeting in Pac Man's game and when he leaves he takes a cherry.  When ralph stumbles into a different game looking for a medal to make him a good guy, he runs into Vanellope.

Vanellope is the adorable child you see above, who is voiced by Sarah Silverman.  Vanellope is a glitch in a game and finds Ralph's medal and uses it to pay to get into a race that she is normally not allowed in because she is a glitch.  So Ralph taking on the hero role tries to help Vanellope race and win and of course if she wins he gets his medal back.

The four main characters are all great and you root for all of them.  They are all voiced by known celebrities and John C. Reilly voices Ralph.  They do a great job of bringing you into the world and making you never want to leave.  Wreck it Ralph is a very fun movie that you will not regret seeing.
