RT on DVD: Giddy Up With Appaloosa, Forget My Best Friend's Girl

9. Tokyo Gore Police




Horror hounds need not settle for this week's tepid thriller, Mirrors -- why settle for subpar studio remakes when much more exciting and unique films are at hand? The 1981 cult slasher My Bloody Valentine gets a Special Edition (timed to coincide with Lionsgate's upcoming remake, My Bloody Valentine 3D) which means a remastering, re-inserted gore (originally cut out to avoid an X rating), and never-before-seen deleted scenes! But if that tale of a crazed, pickaxe-wielding miner isn't enough to get your bloodlust going, take a gander at the new import Tokyo Gore Police, from the makers of Machine Girl. In Tokyo Gore Police, a wave of mutated humans are able to create weapons from any wound inflicted upon them -- the results, as you might imagine, are grotesque , gory (and thus, awesome) in equal measure. Early festival reviews have TGP pegged at 100 percent on the Tomatometer; V.A. Musetto of the New York Post calls it "quite possibly the goriest, craziest, most eye-blowing, chunk-spewing, head-exploding sci-fi movie of all time."

I was under the impression that Vicky doesn't come out until next Tuesday.

Yah, on my list I got Tokyo Gore Police already out, and Vicky out 1/27/08

Otherwise, good list Jen. I'm watching Humboldt County and Appaloosa.

Thank God for "Vicky Christina Barcelona". Because every thing else looks uninteresting (like Tokyo Gore Police/Brideshead Revisted) or horrible (My Best Friends Girl/ Mirrors). I don't think "VCB" looks hilarious, but it does look sexy. And a little soft core porn never hurt. I'd see "Appalossa", but wasn't it just in theatres. A pretty weak week.

Tokyo Gore Police sounds fun. I prefer Woodys old silly stuff. I'll check it out to be fair anyway.

Ah, so it is. Sorry folks. Guess Tokyo Gore Police is the best title of the week. Apologies.
