Wolf Creek (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

admin — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 06:00:32 +0000

Welcome to Wolf Creek, where the suspense of The Blair Witch Project meets the horror of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Inspired by Australia’s “Backpacker Killer” who murdered seven backpackers in the `90s, Wolf Creek won wide acclaim from critics, filmmakers and audience members alike at the Sundance Film Festival. Three unsuspecting hikers take off for a drive across Australia. When the trio returns from a four-hour hike to Wolf Creek National Park, they find their car is dead. Help comes in the form of big, back-slapping bushman Mick (John Jarratt). Since Mick appears to be more Crocodile Dundee than Freddy Krueger, the trio trusts him…which proves to be a grave mistake. Quentin Tarantino said, “Jarratt delivers a performance that’s destined to go down as one of the greatest film heavies of the last 25 years. “Not since the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre has terror felt so real.” Ken Fox, TV Guide
Customer Review: Utterly entertaining and creepy film.
Wolf creek is an utterly entertaining even if a sadistic horror movie. A lot of reviewers panned this as being too gory. High profile reviewers saying that it crosses the line. I don’t know what all the fuss is about. Its got less than a quarter of the gore of say texas chain saw massacre (new one) or say hostel1&2. I found the movie had more of a pshycological fear infused in it due to the character of the australian boogie man aka crocodile dundee character. The story starts of as 2 girls and a guy leave by car to visit the wolf creek a site in the australian outback where the characters plan to hike around. The find their car break down and then are offered help by a supposedly good samaritan “crocodile dundie” type of guy who seems to be a local and conversant with the area. They take the help to be towed by the dundee’s guy’s pickup. Only it lands out to be a bad deal for them. They just got towed to their deaths. This apparently happy go lucky naive, bumbling along help-a-friend-in-need cheerful stranger happens to be as cheerful when killing people. It’s different from the regular slasher film because I felt the terror of this villain. The way he snickers and speaks. He is a true sadist but it’s no where near as gory as hostel. The most gory it got to to which some reviewers expressed dissent as being inappropriate was when the villain guy apparently severes the spinal chord of one of the girls with a dagger. Now this is shown in an abtuse way. We dont really see the actual deed in gory detail. If you consider the circular saws, blow torches and drills used to tear apart the faces in hostel, or the hellish implements used to squash, impale and twist people to ther deaths in say the saw series, this movie is very tame indeed. The movie is based on real life unsolved australian outback murders. The movie has a bit of this “blair witch project” feel to it. Not a lot but a bit. I can’t say a great movie but a good movie neverthless.

Customer Review: Creepy and Scary
Terror abounds for three unsuspecting hikers in this chilling and scary movie.

Liz Hunter (Cassandra Magrath), Kristie Earl (Kestie Morassi), and Ben Mitchell (Nathan Phillips) are making their way across the Australian Outback in a car that Ben paid $1500 for. He soon realizes that he was ripped off, as the car is constantly breaking down at the worst possible times. The trio is on their way to see the Wolf Creek meteor crater, which is located in the depths of the Australian Outback. The group arrives at their destination, they park the car, and begin the hike to the crater. After spending several hours in the rain gazing at the crater, they begin the journey back to their car to continue on with their journey. Upon arriving, they find that the car won’t start. Resigned to spending the night in the car, the three settle in as best as they can.

Soon, Ben spots headlights in the distance and getting closer. Unsure, Ben and the girls go to investigate. They are met by Mick Taylor (John Jarratt), a big, back slapping bushman. Mick offers to tow the car back to is workshop and fix it. Happily, Ben, Liz, and Kristie agree, thinking that their ordeal in the Outback is finally over. Unfortunately for them, its just about to begin. Mick is not the friendly mechanic they thought he was. Instead, he turns out to be a sadistic killer who enjoys using hunting rifles and knives. He’s intent on turning Ben, Liz, and Kristie into his next victims. Will he succeed?

This movie is based on the story of Australia’s “backpack killer”, who murdered seven backpackers in the 1990s. The story is chilling, and Mick’s killing methods are brutal, yet effective.

I recommend this movie. The action is great, and the story will astound you. “Wolf Creek” is a must-see for fans who enjoy good horror movies. buy from here…

Pharos PSD30 GPS LGPS-SD Receiver for a Pocket PC

admin — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 06:00:29 +0000

Pharos’ Pocket GPS Navigator SDIO includes the ultra compact, iGPS-SD which plugs directly into the secure digital port of a Pocket PC. Turn your Pocket PC with SDIO Now! capability into a portable navigation device. The powerful iGPS-SD uses a propriety design which tracks all GPS satellites in sight. This 12-channel tracking gives the Pharos GPS receiver superior performance, enabling fast GPS signal acquisition and reacquisition, and optimum response in dynamic applications. Please note: The iGPS-SD receiver (which does not have internal memory) connects to your Pocket PC device via its SD memory slot. It is recommended that you have an alternative way to store maps when using the iGPS-SD (either your device’s CompactFlash memory slot if it has one, or your device’s on-board memory).
Customer Review: Do not even look at Amazon’s picture
The picture shown is not this product. This product only comes with the receiver and a trial of the software. I can not tell you how well it works because I returned it unopen since I thought I was getting more for my money.
Customer Review: Windows Mobile 5 Incompatible
You’re better off spending the extra money to acquire a stand-alone GPS unit than wasting money on something that is completely incompatible with all Windows Mobile 5 devices. On top of that, the standalone software that comes with this device takes up so much room that I had to store it on an SD card, completely defeating the purpose of having an SDIO device. I love my TomTom, which I acquired refurbished after failing to have this run, and would recommend acquiring that instead of this device. buy from here…

Customer Review: Sox
Sox are great - just ask they be shipped with seperation sheets between each pair to avoid snagging from the nylon tag holders
Customer Review: Superb hiking sock
This might be the best deal in hiking socks out there. I wore this sock over a liner sock for five days and 75 miles of hiking with a pack. The sock is very plush and shock abosrbant. The weather was early fall, 60-80%. The sock was warm in the morning and cool at the end of the day. My feet stayed dry. At the end of the day the sock was almost as fresh as when I put it on in the morning. It is very techie. It not only has merino wool and Cool max but also anti-microbrial fibers. Not sure how they work, but the stocks and boots were never smelly. Oh yes, no blisters at all.
At this price it’s a no brainer. Also bought the sock liner and the holofiber low cuts. After several days I was wearing the holofibers as the liner socks. They gave better cushioning. buy from here…

Bushnell Yardage Pro Golf Pinseeker 1500 Laser Rangefinder

admin — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 18:00:29 +0000

Measure from ball to pin, not ball to pine. The secret to a good round of golf is making accurate shots - not easy when the pin is competing with the trees around it for your rangefinder’s attention. Next time, pack along the new PinSeeker. It’s accurate to +/- one yard from 5 to 1, 500 yards away and will range directly to the flag, not the objects behind it. With two Selective Targeting modes, you’ll get the shot you’re looking for, every time - no worries, hazards or mulligans necessary.
Customer Review: range finder
Very pleased with the transaction and also the
short time to receive the product.
So far, all my experiences of shopping on Amazon
have been excellent.
Customer Review: Excellent Rangefinder
I have tremors, so a rangefinder was never a good option for me. I used GPS in the past with mixed results. I bought the new 1500 rangfinder and get distance to the pin accurately form 250+ yards. This is great and has helped my game. buy from here…

Camp Fear

admin — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 18:00:28 +0000

Near the end of the world, gangs terrorize young sorority campers while a revived Druid giant recreates Stonehenge for some bloody sacrifices.
Customer Review: Only fair
I’m a huge fan of these campy, silly T&A “horror” movies, but this one doesn’t deliver. Oh it delivers the T&A all right, all during the first 10 minutes or so. We get a college dorm full of naked and half naked babes, taking showers and all that good stuff. From there the story follows some girls and their college professor as they go on an archaeological exploration out in the woods. A biker gang takes an interest in them and follows them out into the forest. They encounter a mysterious Indian, a giant Druid, a lake monster, and even a miniature Stonehenge. The Druid needs to sacrifice some virgins in order to avert the end of the world or something, and luckily these girls just happened to wander into his neck of the woods.

What I didn’t care for in this movie was the characters - they’re not bad, but they’re not really sympathetic, they don’t have much of any personality, and we don’t care about them. Usually these movies are very character based, as silly as that may be for something with bad acting and a low budget, but that’s where the camp appeal has to start. This one misses the mark entirely. The story also seemed rather rushed with much of its time spent watching the goofy biker gang trying to find the girls; The whole Druid / end of the world plot gets short shrift and loses all the impact (or at least cheesy interest) that it might have had.

Overall, pretty crummy little movie but if you’re looking for a silly film with naked babes (only in the first 10 minutes) and a really wacky plot, this should be at least somewhat satisfying. Otherwise I’d recommend something like Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, Chopping Mall, or Sorority House Massacre II - Nighty Nightmare. All those hit the mark as far as camp, this one misses.
Customer Review: WHEN YOU HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING ELSE
THIS MOVIE WAS SO BAD, THAT IT IS GOOD. WHEN YOU ARE TIRED AND DO NOT FEEL LIKE GOING THROUGH YOUR LIBRARY OF DVD’S, PULL THIS ONE OUT OF THE FRONT. THE ACTING WAS ACCEPTABLE, BUT THE GIANT AND THE LAKE MONSTER WERE AKIN TO THE HAND PUPPETS USED IN THE OLD GODZILLA/KING KONG MOVIES. THERE WAS NO STORY LINE. VINCE VAN PATTEN IS ONE OF THOSE ACTORS WHO SHOULD HAVE HAD A BETTER CAREER. THE WOMEN IN THIS MOVIE WERE DECENT ACTORS, BUT 100% EYE CANDY. I THINK THE GIRLS WITH THE BIGGER BOOBS GOT HIRED FOR THIS CAMPY LAUGH FEST. ALL OF THE FIGHT SCENES COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER AND MORE VIOLENT. ALL IN ALL, NOT A GOOD MOVIE, BUT WORTH AN OCCASIONAL VIEWING. buy from here…

Customer Review: better than expected
Tasted better than I expected. Pretty low calorie too. I eat these at work when I’m too busy to walk down to the microwave. Heats well - just pour water on the pad in the box. Comes with soup which I’ve never eaten but the cookies are good. buy from here…
