Has redeeming qualities, November 7, 2009
This review is from: Gravestoned (DVD)
I tend not to be a fan of strictly drug-centric comedies (e.g., Pineapple Express), and the title of this alone nearly eliminated it from my list. Don't be confused, drugs play a nearly inconsequential role in this film; so don't avoid it just because of that perception. I enjoyed this movie, but am at a complete loss to justify this based on any tangible aspect of the film. The story is mostly absurd, but devoid of any compelling plot elements. In short, someone is making a movie, he hires a props guy to make a realistic severed arm. The director's expectations are such that the prop guy decides to provide him a real arm, and the donor of that arm comes to want revenge, most of which occurs in a cemetery. The plot just doesn't do anything interesting; the killer does his thing with no real horror element (no horror mood), and most of the movie details absolutely nothing pertinent to a killer killing. But at the same time, the characters are (I hate to say this) interesting and engaging. The prop guy is kinda funny, and some of his interactions are amusing. There is a female component to the film as well, and that's worthwhile. The production values are surprisingly very high, and the video quality and camera work felt much more high budget than this movie actually was. Its likely largely because of the production values that I enjoyed this movie. The sound was interesting too; one of the sound sequences was strangely appealing to me, which was good because that same sequences was used almost exclusively for every scene. So be warned - its strangely amusing and entertaining, but just don't expect to be able to provide a cohesive answer of why.

Gravestoned, October 20, 2011
This review is from: Gravestoned (DVD)
A friend sent me the link for the trailer of the movie and since it featured a Scottish Terrier, my favorite breed of dog,I ordered a copy. The first part of the movie actually wasn't all that bad. A couple of parts made me laugh out loud. Unfortunately, the movie became less enjoyable when it got to the cemetary. Dancing, sex and murders were all badly done and sometimes painful to watch. No one seemed to be enjoying what they were doing. However, the very end of the movie was more like the beginning and I enjoyed it. Gravestoned
