Day 20: Black Dahlia

Method of Acquisition: Borrowed

Runtime: TBD Year: TBD

Plot: Josh Hartnett tries to solve a murder

Review: Really really really slow. There are plot twists but it takes so long to get to them I don't even think they count. The wardrobe was pretty sweet. There were lots of good hats. Every murder mystery needs a creepy clown painting. It was cute that Josh Hartnett and Aaron Eckhart were besties who boxed and solved crimes together and call themselves Mr. Fire and Mr. Ice. If the movie had been cut down to an hour, it could have been rad. Unfortunately, it wasn't

Day 19: The Hills Have Eyes 2

Method of Acquisition: Borrowed

Runtime: TBD Year: TBD

Plot: A group of National Guard trainees get killed/tortured/raped by a group of inbred mutants.

Review: First off, by having the protagonists all be dressed in tan in the desert makes for a very boring color palette. It also makes all the times they don't just shoot the creeps that much more infuriating. The cast was pretty rad. It included Flex Alexander (Snakes On A Plane) and some girl from 90210 (the new series). It wasn't as gorey as I feared. The acting was hilarious and inbred mountain folks are probably the scariest murderers there are.
