6 Pack Review – Black Sheep

September 23, 2008 at 4:55 am (Review)

Refer to this for rating system explanation

What would happen if the genetic engineering of sheep went horribly wrong in a small town or village. Well if you guessed zombie sheep running around eating the living and spreading the zombie sheep plague in the process….you would be right. This movie has it all….Man eating sheep, Man sleeping with sheep,Half Man half sheep…half amazing…..DRINK.

So here is a quick synopsis …the main character has a phobia of sheep because of something his demented brother does to him as a child, coupled with the death of his father. That main character returns home to the family farm that the crazy brother now runs for closure and selling his stake in family business. Now being that the older brother is a prick and just downright evil you know that he is up to no good…but what can a sheep farmer do? Enter the environmentalist do gooders…hoping to expose the farm for its crimes against all of sheep kind. In the process they release the evil version of Lamp Chop….DRINK…This Evil Lamp Chop seems to infect everything it bites with a zombie virus. Regular sheep become flesh eating carriers of the zombie virus…..humans bitten become LARGE sheep/human hybrids…You can only guess it only gets better from there.

This movie was pretty different…it did have a few Shaun of the Dead type moments, but it pretty much is the goriest movie with sheep …that I’ve ever seen. It gets 2 out of 6 beers……it was a movie that needed at least 2 beers because of the acting, but no more because of the concept and the special effects (i.e. gore).

If you watch this movie….all the way to the end you will be one of the few who can say they’ve seen a sheep eat a man’s ….well lets not spoil the surprise. Until next time ….cheers.

Six Pack Ratings

September 23, 2008 at 4:47 am (Review)

So I’m trying something new….posting reviews for all of the bad movies I love to watch.  I may ask a friend or two to contribute to the review or the drinking (see below). 

These movies will be rated by the Six Pack system….think of it as a drinking game for movie ratings.  Just like in drinking games its better to not drink more than your opponent and that same concept applies.

How to interpret the Six Pack ratings

The six pack rating system is a very dynamic rating system….one that is completely subjective to the rater. 

Are you ready? 

Ok here it is, less beers are better than more beers unless said rater wants to get drunk…then you will be lucky if he or she can remember the movie enough to rate it.

That’s it plain and simple…sometimes I will explain the raters sometimes I won’t.  Just know if it is 6 out of 6 I probably didn’t finish watching the movie.

So when you are young, and full of the notion that you are going to make your own path and do what you want to…everything seems clear as day.  For instance at the young age of 7, I wanted to be a chemist so I could create Spider-man’s synthetic webbing (the original Spider-man not your organic webbing one).  This of course brought no ends of pain to my parents…especially when they noticed any household chemical missing.  Sad to say I never found the formula…and that career path kind of vanished.  The dream was replaced by a bright shiny IBM Clone or PC Compatible from TGE my first 286 computer, complete with a monochrome monitor and an UI which was only useful for navigating to the Space Wars, Wheel of Fortune and MS-DOS.  This computer and an errant Apple which my dad found at a flea market made up my sophisticated playroom.  Once my knack and addiction to computing was discovered he was more than happy to indulge in this hobby that didn’t involve me creating a noxious gas from borax, windex, and pine-sol.  Later on it was an Acer 386 with a modem, and subsequent calls to nodes in California, Washington, and other West Coast locations from the East Coast that caused more pains to my parents…once the phone bill came.  After my dad let me get back on the computer I knew that this was my future career.  Regretfully it seems as though that path has been diluted.  Working as a consultant or contractor is definitely not what I saw myself doing as a kid….I imagine being like the people who created Google, Windows, ID Software, etc.  I get a little upset with myself for taking the comfortable way out, and I think its time I step out of my comfort zone and try to live up to my dreams.
