Day In The Life of Baz

Now I’m not sure exactly what possessed me to do this to myself, but this is how it started. I was walking through Walmart, doing my basic grocery shopping, when I passed by the DVD section. I saw a DVD entitled Hatchet . On the cover there was this hatchet covered in blood, so I figured that this would be some basic generic horror flick that I could use to kill an hour or two. Come on now, I wasn’t looking for the next Saw or anything, but I figured it would at least be within the league of One Missed Call .

Boy, was I wrong. The plot , if you can call it that, was somewhat reminisent of Wrong Turn : super strength, disformed guy goes on killing rampage. This movie reminded me of those early 90’s over the top horror films. There were heads twisted around, there was gushing blood that looked like a garden hose squirting Cool-Aid, arms being ripped out, etc.

I really need to stop this self torture; it’s not healthy.

Out of my tiny lil’ sample, it seems that we’ve had our fill of movie parodies.

Today I looked at Epic Movie on DVD and it got me thinking: Is the world fed up of movie parodies?

The first was I remember is by the Wayan’s brothers:

Don’t be a menace to society while drinking your juice in the hood

I must say, it was funny for it’s time. Hilarious, actually. Then there was Scary Movie; another winner in my book. There was Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth; that tried to copy the formula word for word and wasn’t too successful.

Then Scary Movie 2; OK I guess it was still kinda funny. But then Scary Movie 3, then 4 and there is a confirmation for Scary Movie 5. Don’t forget that others decided to join the trend while it was in it’s downward spiral (in my opinion):

• Not Another Teen Movie
• Date Movie
• Date Movie 2 (Yes They Did - Coming out 2009)
• Epic Movie
