Love In The Time Of Monster Analysis
Cheesy special effects? Check! Gore? Check! Kane Hodder? Check! Mutated men wearing Bigfoot costumes? Check! Bodacious Babes? Double D Check! Love in the Time of Monsters is a low budget ($500,000 is considered low budget nowadays) flick about toxic waste pollution gone awry. It's riddled with groan-inducing moments, but I gotta admit, I had a fun time with it. It very well could be that Heather Rae Young is smoking hot (the other woman in the movie aren't bad on the eyes either) and seeing her dance, to distract crazed Bigfoots, is something that I haven't seen before, but realize was missing from life for a very long time. Also, mutated squirrels ripping shirts off is a massive highlight.

After reviewing Old 37, which starred Kane Hodder,

A bunch of guys fall into a toxic waste pond and before you can scream Bigfoot, they are killing the guests of a sleazy dude named Slavko, who runs the local attraction of Uncle Slavko`s All-American Family Lodge. Two girls show up to the attraction, Marla (Gena Shaw) and Carla (Marissa Skell) and they get roped up in trying to survive the night. We also have a guest appearance by character actor Doug Jones, who gets to be in a role that doesn't require tons of makeup and prosthetics. It's a flick that's full of eye-rolling moments and hit or miss performances, but the gore and overall tone of the film just screams "have a good time." How can you not like a movie with a rampaging zombified moose on the loose? Oh, did I forget to mention the zombified moose? Yeah, it's even more awesome than you think.

I may be going easy on Love in the Time of Monsters, but it's a movie that wears its cheese on its sleeve and reminds me of the good ol' days of low-budget monster flicks from the late 80s and early 90s. Also, Heather Rae Young is so damn hot, I can easily recommend seeing the film just for her

    Love is a simple phrase that has existed throughout human history. Since the beginning of time, we have been taught to love one another through works of kindness and compassion. Despite this, we as a greedy, shallow culture tend to resort to conflict to solve our issues. From wars to segregation, humans have fought numerous battles in the name of a better world, yet, all they have accomplished is insurmountable conflict. Although this epidemic floods our history, there are times where the tenderness of people has broken through and achieved substantial gains for the world populous. To name a few: Jesus was crucified as a perfect, loving lamb in order to cleanse the grime of sin, Martin Luther King Jr. was praised for rooting his arguments in…

    Although “Steel Magnolias” was made in 1989 it is personally my favorite chick flick. Possibly because my mother and grandmother watched it way too many times when I was young. "Steel Magnolias" is about the close knit relationships between six ordinary Southern women that are living in a small town in Louisiana. The actors and actresses bring the story line alive with their snappy attitudes and funny dialog. Throughout the film the setting sets a mood that can be hilarious or tragic. But just by the setting you are able to tell what the mood is. For example in the beauty parlor there is humor but in the hospital or the grave site after Shelby’s death there is a tragic mood that was set by the setting. “Steel Magnolias” is a wonderful film…

    The Boy Film Analysis

    It had all the elements of a classic horror story. The babysitter alone in a big creepy house without any neighbors or communication from the outside world and then you've got this supposedly inanimate object which begs the question is she really alone in the house? The first half of the movie is a little slow as we follow-up on how crazy the Heelshire's are and get the back story of Braums as well as Greta as we try to figure out what she's running from. The movie doesn't pick up until Greta realizes that Braums is moving about on his own...but even then it doesn't really go where we think it's going to go. First comes panic, then fear, then fascination...then things really get weird when Greta's ex boyfriend Cole; Ben Robson (Dracula: The Dark Prince) makes his way into the picture. There are no jump factors here, the only scene that really gives you a scare is when Greta is staring at Braums in the family portrait and it suddenly comes to life but that's something you can see just from watching the trailer. There is a crazy twist at the end that was actually kind of disappointing for me and raised more questions than answers. The camera work at the end was confusing there was a chase scene but with the sudden different angles poor lighting it's hard to tell who was chasing…

This movie duplicates real life situations where innocent People get hurt, family loyalty gets divided and couples end up in divorce.…

    There are no prerequisites for love and belonging, we are deserving of love and belonging simply by reason of existence. This is one of the abounding stunning ideas found in Brené Brown’s work. However, this was such a foreign idea to my way of being and of relating to the world that I had no salutation node towards it nor an A-ha moment. Only after repeated readings and listening did the clouds disperse. Theoretically I recognized its truth, but at some level I felt this truth did not refer to me.…

    Such as, Victor killing animal in the zoo or even Igor find a dead body in the freezer. Still the film had a very uplifting feel to it because of Igor and his improved way of life. Sadly, many tragic things happen in this film and there are some scenes in the film that are worthy of begin labeled a horror or thriller. Though, I found some of those parts of the film highly unnecessary. Such as, the presentation for the first monster it ran off and Igor chased after. Than Igor lost track of it room that is when the movie turned into a horror. That did not seem to fit with what was shown up to that point. However, it still got my heart pumping in fear for Igor.…

    The Object of my Affection was a boring chick flick in all honesty. But to story it told was slightly interesting. Most of the people in the movie and their encounters with the other member of the movie show signs of few physiological conditions. You can dissect many characters and point out some of their tendencies and how they think. Which can help you understand how they handled the situations they were in and why everything ended how it did. Based on all the characters personality and how they think in certain situations…

    “ Love Calls Us to the Things of This World” by Richard Wilbur is a poem about our reason for living. The reason we get up every morning and go about our day according to Wilbur is love. The title of this poem clearly is making that statement. The title however is not quite enough to portray exactly what it is that we are being called back from. When we are sleeping, our souls become part of a peaceful and pure realm. In contrast the waking world is full of stress and undesirable challenges, a world in which the soul has no desire of being part of. Using highly refined diction and structure, Wilbur portrays the contrast between the two worlds and our soul's reason for accepting the return to reality.…

    Traditionally, women in horror films are portrayed as damsels in distress that need to be rescued by male dominant characters in order to survive or live. They are weak, innocent and fragile that have absolutely no strength to fend for themselves. Women in horror films are also portrayed with no initiative – they always have to follow some kind of male dominant leader – and don’t have much personal perspective or opinions. Throughout the years since the Woman’s movement occurred in the mid-1960’s, the representation of women in the media slowly began to come through and develop from a serious case of male chauvinism to a slightly acceptable representation of women in modern times. These days, patriarch dominance is still present in some films as female characters are still presented as somewhat weak and fragile due to the fact that in some point of a horror film; females may either be saved by a strong and powerful male character or just get killed and die due to their inability to fight back. Even though this is how they are represented in horror films specifically, there are also other genre and types of media that present them the same way, making their representation in any media form in general reflect on our modern society in real life. The development of the female’s representation in horror films in this report will be discussed in a chronological order starting from George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead in the 1960’s until the modern ways of Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later in the 20th century.…

    I've own this film for quite some time, like years and only not got around to watching it. Was it worth the wait? Kind of. It was cute film, though I find most horror films from the 1950's to be cute. Though it does have considerable charm, Attack of the Puppet People isn't without it faults. I also have to admit that I was a little upset about the title of films, since never once do they actually attack. Anything.…

    Ever since I have been a little kid, I have always loved horror movies. This genre of movies interests me, because you are constantly kept on the edge of your seat. I think when you take a look at various horror films and compare them; you will notice an array of different scare tactics/methods. You will also notice many cliché ideas that a lot horror flicks have in common. I will point these ideas out in detail, when I compare The Dawn of The Dead horror flick released in 1978, with the one released in 2004; Two and a half decades later.…
