May 2009 Wrap-Up

This month has been atrocious for us here at THC, as one of our own (Machine) took ill and has been fighting for his life in the hospital since about the 12th. Long story short, he survived a Dissected Aorta and and Anuerysm on his heart, and is now recovering well. Thanks again for the love and well wishes that many of you have passed along via comment and email.

Needless to say, we haven't watched much horror in these past few weeks, but were starting to get back to normal...

At the Box-Office we got...
-One more-than-welcomed gem, Drag Me to Hell. Haven't seen it yet, but word is that Raimi's triumphant return to horror does the genre proud.
-One cool movie available on IFC In-Demand, Pontypool- Great movie; see it if it's in a theater near you, or rent it On-Demand now! (Review coming soon.)

On DVD we got...
Own it- Mum & Dad, Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans, My Bloody Valentine 3-D, True Blood: Season One, Plague Town
Rent it- The Grudge 3, Eden Log, Outlander, The Devil's Tomb, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus,
Skip it- End of the Line, Scarce, S. Darko,
The ones we haven't seen yet- Unconcious, House of the Demon, The Last Horror Film, Bane, Ambition, Beneath the Flesh.

Noteworthy News/Announcements...
-They're remaking Alien. Seriously. After typing this, I have no energy left to type anything else...

Aside from a the great theatrical releases and a few really good DVD's, May mostly sucked. Will June give us more to be happy about than crappy old May did? I sure as hell hope so... True Blood returns for its second season on HBO, and we do get theatrical runs for Dead Snow and Moon... Things are looking better already!

This month has been a fucking punch to the mouth... and gut... and nuts... and then some...
