Nothing means more than blood. That summarizes the entire daunting labyrinth they callThe Texas Chainsaw Massacreseries in more than one way. CanTexas Chainsaw 3Dlive up to the long shadow of its revered kin or is it merely another black sheep?

Twinsets, dastardly heirs and moustachioed Belgians are out, muckiness, dismemberment and gratuitous nudity are in. The message was clear: sex, death, and smut are whatRipper Streetis selling. Yet, its difficult to deny that both kinds of period drama scratch very different itches. Part of the reason were attracted to on-screen and on-page atrocity is because it thrills yet reassures....

From the Recesses of Netflix: Hunger (2009), Lookback/Review

Hunger (2009) is up first. This series will be exploring some of the more questionable films found on Netflix. Now were not saying Netflix doesnt have good films. But it also has a great deal of questionable content. We dont think this particular experiment would pass any Internal Review Board. But thats ok. Our scientist seems like just some guy trying to deal with his own childhood issues. Oh, we forgot to mention, our scientist inHungerwas in a car accident with his mother....
