Movie Review: Tusk

WOW, What in the FUCK did I just watch?

So out of nowhere I was told to watch a movie called 'Tusk'. What is 'Tusk'? Well, it's a horror, black comedy movie directed by Kevin Smith. Yes, the same Kevin Smith that brought us Clerks and Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Both hilarious movies! So what is Kevin Smith doing making a horror movie about a man who's surgically turned into a walrus by a psycho?

Yeah, I don't know either. It was a weird fucking movie, but at the same time, I'm sort of glad I watched it.

As mentioned before, The plot of Tusk is quite basic, almost like a parody of the horror genre or even the sub genre of 'Creature Feature'. It's about a psycho who's obsessed with Walruses, so much so that he creates a Walrus suit out of human skin and tries to turn a human INTO a Walrus. 

Yes, you read that right. I kind of want to see the shit that Kevin Smith was smoking for this movie, because no one with a sober mind would be able to think about this kind of plot. 

Hell, I'm even having trouble trying to think of a way to critique this film. It's definitely different to what I'm used to. In a world where Hollywood films are very generic, formulaic, and ultimately safe, 'Tusk' comes out of nowhere and hit me in the face like a wet fish.

Seriously though...what....the fuck

Comic Book Movies 101: Ultron and Ant-Man

Wow, it's been a while. But considering I now have a bunch of spare time to write, I figured I'll start of with a bang! Welcome to Comic Book Movies 101, where I'll try to educate casual comic movie watchers on characters, stories and much more!

As most people know, Marvel is on the roll with their films lately. 2014's Captain America 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy proved to be some of their best films to date, and for good reason. Cap 2 showed that Marvel still has what it takes to up the ante for sequels to their previous films, improving on them greatly in both spectacle and plot. Guardians of the Galaxy showed that Marvel isn't afraid of using some of their more obscure IP's and delivering incredible adventures that don't have to include the main Avengers characters.

So what's on the horizon for 2015? Well, based on the very basis that you're reading this, I'm sure you've heard of Avengers 2: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man, both of which are set to release in 2015. I'm also sure you must have caught the trailers for each film that have been released, all of which are super hype!

awwwww yeeeah

AWWWWW YEEEEEAH

But of course, just like Guardians of the Galaxy, there are going to be some super obscure characters and plot devices that need to be answered so you can go into these movies fully appreciating them. 

Just what is Ultron? Who is The Vision? Why is there a character named Ant-Man? I'll attempt to answer as much of this as possible in this one post. So get ready true believers, here I go!
