Movie Review: Feeding Grounds (2006)

Synopsis: Four couples on their way to a cabin take a break in the middle of the desert. When they come across a human ear, they decide to leave so they can alert the authorities but quickly discover it is already too late.



Review: Our internet went out yesterday afternoon and, since we didn't have access to YouTube TV, Netflix, etc. as a result of that, my wife and I wound up looking for a DVD to watch. This one happened to be on the shelf, still in its original plastic wrapping, so we gave it a try. After watching it, I think we would have been better off watching the paint peel.

If you are an aspiring filmmaker, I would recommend taking the time to watch this movie so you can learn what NOT to do when it comes to making a horror movie. This film is about as textbook as it gets when it comes to that.

First of all, this has to be one of the dullest movies I have ever watched. Practically nothing happens on screen except for the various characters doing drugs, talking, arguing or vomiting. As much as I hate gratuitous sex scenes, I was beginning to wish this movie had a couple of them just to break up the monotony. 

In fact, the only reason I made it to the end of this 90-minute movie (which seemed so much longer) was I was hoping maybe the ending would make up for it. I can't even begin to describe just how disappointed I was when it didn't.

Also not helping this movie where the victims. I've said this in the past, horror movies are much scarier if you actually care if at least one of the victims lives or dies. There were none in this film that met that decription. Not only was there nothing even remotely likable about any of the characters in this movie, the film didn't even bother to give them any sort of individualized traits, other than one being a vegan and one carrying a camera. I didn't care if they died or even what their names were, not that I could tell most of them apart anyway.

Final Opinion: Simply put, I had about as much fun watching this movie as I did removing the plastic wrap from the DVD case. Sadly, that's not an exaggeration. 

My Grade: F

Movie Review: Mean Girls (2024)

Synopsis: After being raised in Kenya and homeschooled by her mother, high school junior Cady Heron is given the opportunity to attend classes at an American public school.

Despite her friends, Janis and Damian, warning her about Regina and her fellow clique members, Karen and Gretchen, Cady tries to see the good in Regina. That changes when she falls in love with Regina's ex-boyfriend, Aaron, and sees just how cruel Regina can be. Her acts of revenge, however, result in Cady assuming many of Regina's less-than-desirable traits and ultimately becoming a pariah.

Kwik Trip Kitchen Cravings Tailgater Pizza

Image
  When my wife and I decided on pizza for dinner last night, I stopped at Kwik Trip with the intention of just buying a cheap, frozen, cheese pizza for our daughters since we already had another pizza in our freezer. However, as I was walking up to the checkout counter, this particular pizza caught my eye and, even though I wasn't crazy about spending $8.99 when I already had another option at home, I was intrigued enough to make the purchase anyway. We ended up making the pizza in the oven when I got home. After trying it, I have to say it is one of my favorites. One of the things, in particular, that really stood out for me when it came to this pizza was the toppings. The combination of sausage and cheese curds was both unique and delicious, especially since the curds were fresh enough to still squeak when we were eating them. The pizza also proved to be surprisingly filling, both because of the thicker crust and the generous amounts of toppings and cheese.  Normally, when my wi
