Philadelphia Film Festival
From April 5-18, Philadelphia will be hosting its annual film festival. Most of these films will probably never make any high notoriety than this festival, but that doesn't mean that they should all be ignored. Some are definitely not meant for the general public, while others are made by sexual lusting perverts. The main idea is for no namers to get their names out there. Here is a few movies that seem quite interesting:
American Fork-from the creators of Napoleon Dynamite, comes the story of an obese grocery store worker who sets out on his dream to become an actor.
Bothersome Man- about a young man sent into a world of bizarre occurrences and everyday rituals.
Consequences- An annual weekend football get away in Philadelphia about five old friends, whose lives take a miserable turn for the worst in this sex-crazed, underground world of Philly.
Curse of William Penn- takes a look at the frustrated lives of Philadelphia fans and their hard luck over the recent years.
Dante's Inferno- cardboard cut-out view of a modern day Dante's Inferno.
Dead Daughters- International horror film sensation from Russia, about three vengeful female spirits.
End of the Line- a group of strangers unites in an effort to escape blood-crazy Christian cult-members in a subway chamber fueled by apocalyptic fever.
Fair Play- careerism gone wrong in this corporate way of life, where the action takes place in a natural setting of cliffs and waterfalls where it is much easier to get revenge on your co-worker.
Feel- A sexy view on the lives of four men who lives are all connected through an Asian massage parlor they all seek out on the same day to fill their emotional spaces.
Mojave Phone Booth- based on true events, a film about a phone booth in south Nevada that serves as an otherworldly support system of mystifiyng sorts.
Princess- a Danish film about a priest who seeks revenge on pornographers who exploited his dead sister.
Red Road- in the not so distant future, everyone is monitored by the government to ensure the safety of the society. A government employee must confront a man who has resurfaced from the past.
Severance- A British horror film that lives up to its promises.
Slumming- a twisted road of events occur for two young slackers, after a cruel, practical joke is played on a drunk homeless guy.

Hills Have Eyes 2: Horrible
I like to apologize to my friends for making them see this movie. That is how I will begin this review. Let me remind you of the graphic, disturbing, and some what interesting plot of the first one. It was definitely at least a 3.5 out 5 star movie, with terrifying images that you would never expect to see on the big screen without an NC-17 rating. Word on the street was this was suppose to be twice as disturbing. I did not seem to notice that. The first two minutes may be the only odd and unexpected scene in the movie.
The rest of the movie had cheap effects, pointless deaths that could be seen in almost any horror movie, and blue screen angles that were more than obvious. This movie had no relation at all to the first one, there was no feeling for any of the characters and this movie had some of the worse acting I have seen in years. It is also pretty hard to watch characters on screen do stupid pointless mistake after stupid pointless mistake. I mean we are humans because we have the ability to make educated decisions, and this movie took that away from the characters. If this movie should've had at least one thing in its favor going into it, it was that the deaths of the characters should have been down right awesome. Instead your left with two guys getting shot, two guys falling off a cliff, one guy getting pulled through a hole, and then another guy being blown up. This movie had no life, no pulse, and no acting. Even when they had a chance to scare us they use a loud bang from the soundboard of another movie. That is about all. After discussing this with a friend I feel it is only right to give this movie a 0 out of 5. Because anything lower that a 1 would mean the average everyday person could make, and that would take away the Hollywood lure behind the movie. This movie is trash, worthless, and shouldn't even be released to DVD. Don't see it, don't talk about it, don't even think about it.

Choke by Chuck Palahniuk Review
Yes, that is right, I can't get enough of this Chuck guy. I'm really glad I found out about him two months before his anticipated new released of "Rant." I am reading all his past work, and it's pretty damn good. Choke was a story that I definitely should've heard about from somebody years ago. It is twisted, disgusting, revolting, hilarious, and educational. A sandwich with layers you never thought would go together.
It is about a sex addict, whose best friend is also a sex addict, who tries to deal with his ever depressing life by making people think their his hero. Everyday he goes to a different restaurant to choke, almost to death, in order for someone to save him. By doing so, they then fall in love with him and constantly keep in touch while sending money to make sure he is ok. That is just one part of the characters life. He also works at a Colonial Village set in 1734, constantly visits his sick mom, and screws almost anyone.
Palahniuk visits the past of Victor (main character) to construct the reason why he is the way he is. A medical school dropout, ashamed of his mother, and a pathetic loser. Every chapter will turn into four more as you wonder what in the world could possibly happen next. His crazy sexual drive that keeps you turning page after page is topped off with a climax that shakes you in suspense. You will finish Choke only hours after you pick it up for the first time, because you won't be able to put it down. If you want crude, unusual and bizarre behavior, along with some knowledge of the medical world; get this book. 5 out of 5 for Palahniuk and Choke.
