Evidence (2012)

A group of friends head for a weekend trip into the wilderness (yes, that plot line again), to make what sounds like the worst documentary of all time; Brett's first time camping! Seriously, Brett's never been camping before, so the d-bag of the group, Ryan,  decides to make a documentary about his first experience... camping.

It's not long before our group of campers start seeing and hearing odd things in the woods, both during the day and at night. Morons that they are, they write the strange occurrences off to being a gang of rogue coyotes. Ryan, the aforementioned d-bag filmmaker of the group, insists on capturing every waking moment of their trip on film, shoving the camera in people's faces despite their hints of "Fuck off, Ryan!" and "Get that camera out of my face, you raging fucktard!" That definitely helps the situation.

Everything was all fun and camera games at the beginning...
For a while there, I thought Ryan was the villain of the movie. Despite the noises and sightings of something less than human which seemed to be stalking them, and everyones screaming pleas of "let's go home!" over and over again, he just kinda blew them off in the name of his shitty documentary. Snarky little prick.

Had I been on this camping trip, Ryan would have caught a beating with his own camera.

I do applaud his attempt and getting his girlfriend naked on cam though.
The rest of the crew wasn't much better; the other guy, Brett, was a whiny bitch most of the time;  Abi, Ryan's girlfriend, seemed to like being verbally abused by him; and the other chick, Ashley, screamed way too much... sometimes for no good reason. The actors were actually solid and did a great job, but as the movie wore on, their characters became more and more annoying. Their actions became more and more illogical too, as is par for the course with most genre flicks like this.

The crazy thing about Evidence is that it starts of fairly typical, following the trappings of the POV/Hand Held genre almost to a T, but as things move along, the movie heads into definite WTF?!? territory. To say too much about it would give a lot of the twists away, but suffice it to say that it started out as a backwoods horror flick, turned into a monster movie, and ended up in The Crazies neck of the woods. Most of it worked well though, despite the annoying characters, and managed to maintain plenty of tension throughout.

There's always a cabin in the woods, isn't there?
Again, as seems to be the case with most horror flicks these days, the ending was more of a cop out than anything. Why do so many horror movies these days leave the audience with tons of questions and basically no resolution to anything by the time the credits roll? I'm all for ambiguity, and I really don;t like to be spoon fed, but can we get some semblance of closure at least? Maybe let us in on a little bit of what the hell just happened, and let us stew over the rest?

You really need to understand that the movie got really crazy at the end. It was good, but it felt like so many new and unexplained things were being thrown at us left and right, that we weren't meant to understand it. The movie also went into shaky-cam overdrive in parts, and especially for most of the 3rd reel, which might have added to the confusion a bit.

"...and out of the dark came Butternut, whispering a warning to us all. A warning that we didn't quite understand, because horses cant actually whisper..."

The Master Says- B If you like found footage horror flicks, or at least the ones that don't suck, then you really need to see this one. Evidence is one of the better first person flicks that we've seen lately, even if the craziness of it all left us wondering what the fuck just happened. Well written, well acted, and effectively tense, it's nice to actually come away from a hand held flick actually pleased for a change. Check this one out when you get the chance.

Final Thoughts- Girls kissing is never a bad thing.Well sometimes, but only if the chicks are really ugly.

You have to love dumb, drunk girls. They make the world a better place.

Racism Is As Racism Does: Federal Judge Richard Cebull is a Racist

Did you see where a U.S. district judge in Montana thought it would be funny to forward a racist email indicating that President Barack Obama's mother practiced bestiality? [SOURCE]
In his email, federal judge Richard Cebull writes: "Normally I don't send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine."

The forwarded content states: "A little boy said to his mother; 'Mommy, how come I'm Black and you're white?' His mother replied, 'Don't even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you're lucky you don't bark!'"
I imagine that we will see more and more of these types of stories as we get closer to the presidential election. Our nation is not post-racial yet. The judge wasn't sorry about sending the email when it went out on February 20th. However, once the email got leaked to the media Cebull realized that he had phuqued up big-time.
"I apologize to anybody who is offended by it, and I can obviously understand why people would be offended," Cebull said in comments reported by the Great Falls Tribune newspaper.

"The only reason I can explain it to you is I am not a fan of our president, but this goes beyond not being a fan," he said. "I didn't send it as racist, although that's what it is. I sent it out because it's anti-Obama."
If Cebull was willing to share his prejudice and racist opinions so freely within his email to his buddies ... you wonder if that same prejudice and racist attitude has shown up in some of his rulings on the court? Cebull has been a federal judge since being nominated by President George W. Bush back in 2008.

Am I unfair to label this guy as a racist? Perhaps he is just a well-meaning guy who made a mistake, huh? What say u?
