Plot:
Six friends on a road trip gone wrong. A sleepy, creepy Texas town. A sinister inn with murder on the menu. And an army of the undead who can only be stopped by decapitation or chainsaw. If you think you've seen it all before, you're DEAD wrong! Erik Palladino (ER, U-571), Ever Carradine (ONCE AND AGAIN), Jeremy Sisto (WRONG TURN, SIX FEET UNDER) and Gina Phillips (JEEPERS CREEPERS) star in the action-packed, blood-drenched horror/comedy that takes the genre to outrageous new extremes!

Diedrich Bader (THE DREW CAREY SHOW), Portia de Rossi (ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT) and David Carradine (KILL BILL) co-star in this acclaimed independent hit that Fangoria Magazine calls "slapstick and horrifying...a mix of ghouls, giggles and gore!"

I felt like a bit of a change in pace now... so decided to go with some horror. This is a movie I never even heard of before a friend gave me the DVD. But of course I am always happy to try out some new horror. Unfortunately I didn't pick a very good one to start with. I realize this is listed as a comedy horror...but I would say I got maybe one half way decent chuckle out of the entire film. The comedy was more stupid then anything. As for the horror... there is plenty of blood and a bit of gore... but the gore is more comedic so less realistic. The storyline, while decent, was basically ruined with the way it went to comic book drawings of the movie between scenes and the awful music they insisted on playing through-out the movie. A music style that could only be described as a mixture of country and rap. With that said... there was a few good scenes mixed within all the non-sense that kept me somewhat interested. While I may give this one another chance at some point it isn't one I see myself watching very often at all. So no... it is not one I would recommend.

This is a fun movie... but far from great.. A nice way to waste some time with a few laughs and some pretty women to look at. But other then that this one really don't have that much to offer. The whole revenge thing was fun... but does seem a but too easy. I would say view it if you can see it for free... but don't waste your money on it.

Plot:
Newly graduated Kumiko Yamaguchi wants to make her mark on the Japanese educational system as a teacher. All well and good until she finds out that the school she'll be teaching at has its fair share of troublemakers and rabble-rousers. The ruffians at the school don't frighten her though for she has a secret of her own-she's a fourth generation crime syndicate member and next in line to head it up. She's gone straight and wants to be a teacher though, but she's one person in whose class you don't want to be caught fooling around!

1.01 A zealous teacher goes on a rampage!! (2002-04-17)

I like this live-action adaption even more than the anime. The actors are very well chosen and the comedy works. I always enjoy watching it (have done so multiple times now). The lead actress is the very definition of Hollywood Homely. Supposedly unattractive to the other characters, she is the hottest of them all. Of the main three female characters, I find the one, who is the supposed to be the most attractive, the least attractive of them (of course she still is beautiful).
