watching movies one cup at a time

Welcome to Ice Cubes In My Coffee :: The Caffeinated Movie Guide. I love movies and I have strong opinions about all of them. When they are great, they can change your life. And when they suck, you can at least have fun ripping them to shreds. I have seen a million movies and I have a bunch of movie facts and trivia stored up in my head - it's time to share. I'm going to be filling this movie guide with reviews on an ongoing basis, building up a large library of reviews so YOU, the movie-watching public, will know what movies are essential viewing and what movies you must avoid at all costs (hint: anything with the words "Starring Dane Cook"). I will also be posting some interesting articles and lists along the way as well. So grab a cup of joe and settle in for some movie talk!

House of 1000 Corpses

Starring: Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon Zombie, Rainn Wilson
Director: Rob Zombie
Year of Release: 2003
 Rated 4 cups

This is Rob Zombie’s directorial debut and it carries on the campy horror vibe he’s cultivated his entire career. Yea, this movie was pretty f*cked up. But honestly it did have an interesting flair to it. It really was better than a lot of the flicks in this genre. Sure there was a lot of blood and guts but it wasn’t too over-the-top believe it or not. And some of the scenes had some really rich flavor to them. The whole Satan thing at the end was really bizarre and the filmed crossed over from blood and guts to demonic and supernatural, like a lost sequel to Hellraiser. And I actually liked it, as twisted as it was. Overall the film delivers exactly what it promises and does it with a lot of style.

Bottom Line: Not for the timid, but better than 90% of the other blood and guts flicks.
