Why there wasn't a review of MCW this past weekend.

The second episode of the weekly MCW show did not air this Saturday. Instead Fox 40 aired an hour of infomericials. I contacted teh MCW promoter and was told that something was wrong with the dvd they sent to Fox 40. And that the dvd wouldn't play. A new episode should be airing this Saturday morning at 6am central on Fox 40.

One of them is Monty Warbucks. Monty gets on the mic and complains that the music wasn't cut off when they hit the ring.

Monty cuts a good promo Calvin Rose. And how on his ride up from Louisiana ,that once he hit Mississippi he noticed all the bad smells. Jason Rose gets the mic. He talks about how all the people in TV land should be happy that 3 of the best professional athletes are standing right before you.

And Calvin Rose comes to the ring with a chair. Kenny stops Calvin from attacking the Wild Childs. And Kenny says we are gonna get a match between Calvin Rose and Monty Warbucks later on in the show. And it will be the main event. We go to a commercial break and a James Brown song leads us outta the show.

Brother Love comes out to "Soul Man" and he has PorkChop Cash with him. Brother Love is dressed like one of the Blues Brothers and is carrying a briefcase. Porkchop has this huge white beard.

Match 2

Whiskey Hangover vs Capitol City Muscle

On the screen they inform us this will be video highlights. Whiskey Hangover are Ron Horn and Barry "Mr 500" Wolf. Damn I wish this was the entire match. I have seen Horn and Wolf face each other 5 times now,but have never seen them as a tag team. For some reason there is no sound . One of the CCM guys slams Wolf. Then it cuts to Horn and Wolf double teaming one of the CCM guys. And "Let the bodies hit the floor" starts playing. We get to see Whiskey Hangover beating the crap outta one of the guys from CCM. The CCM guy hits a shoulder tackle and manages to tag in his partner. Who comes in the ring and beats up both members of Whiskey Hangover. One of the CCM guys picks up Barry Wolf. While the other jumps off the top rope and hit a solid looking clothesline. And CCM gets the win. I really wish they had shown the entire match. And we get another commerical break.

We come back and Porkchop Cash and Brother Love are headed to the ring. Brother Love gets the mic. Brother Love talks about how they are the 2000 version of the Bruise Brothers. He starts cutting a promo on the son of Junkyard Dog,Mike Carter. Which causes the crowd to start booing. I didn't know that JYD had a son. Love talks about how they offered Mike a handshake and the Carter spit on Porkchop Cash's hand. Cash talks about how if Mike Carter had shook his hand he wouldn't have too beat him up. Then Cash talks about how the Bruise Brothers will take over Mississippi. Not a bad promo

And we get a nice collection of pics of the various wrestlers while Genesis's "Land of Confusion" plays.

Overall not a bad show for the first show. There was a few sound problems and sometimes the video showed some breakup. But it was a fun introduction to the MCW product.

Deathsport

Deathsport

This was supposed to be a sequel to the surprise hit "Death Race". But somewhere along the way the script got changed and it become it's own standalone film. Starring David Carradine and Claudia Jennings this film is set in the near future. And fits into the whole Post apocalypse genre of film. Seems in the future people are placed into the Deathsport game. Which from what I can figure out is 2 people armed with laser swords vs about 10 people on motorcycles that also have lasers. Kinda a cheesy film but worth a watch. But a few warnings about the dvd release from Shout Factory. It seems the only print they could find in good shape was an editied for tv print. So everytime the film gets to a scene with violence or nudity,they had to use a print that is in pretty bad shape. Most of these scenes have green lines running down either the left or the right side of the screen. Also the sound on these scenes is pretty bad. Thankfully this is out on a dvd with another film and can normally be found for around $15. The dvd also includes a commentary with Alan Arkish. Overall it is a fun way to waste and hour and a half. Deathsport gets a C+.

Porkys, Porkys II,and Porkys Revenge

I picked up this collection back in 2008,and it was only $9 bucks. It includes all three films. The first one is a new edition which includes a director's commentary,two short behind the scenes/looking back style featurettes,and a promo reel for the "Porky's" Atari 2600 game.

"Porkys"

Growing up in the early 80's,"Porkys" was a film that was talked about all the time on the playground at elementary school. Since we lived in an area that didn't have access to cable I didn't get a chance to see it. Then sometime in 1988 my parents rented it for our Betamax VCR. Well later that week the went to their bowling league. And while they were gone I called up all my friends and told them to come over. We all sat down and watched the film that we had heard so much about. While I found the movie extremely funny back then,it has become even funnier as I got older and understood more of the plot. This was the start of the trend of raunchy teen comedies. And you can see were this film influenced the creator's of "American Pie". I re watched this the other day while I wasn't feel good. And once it got to the scene in the Principal's office,in which Ms. Balbricker is asking for a police lineup of naked high schoolers I was laughing so hard my ribs were hurting. "Porkys" is still one of my favorite comedies and gets a A.

"Porkys II the next day"

This came out the year after the first one was released. It was rushed into production when it became obvious how big a hit the original was. This one I had seen for many many years in edited for TV cuts on cable. But until I got the DVD I had never seen it uncut. Well it has been said that this is a horrible sequel. And I think it is cause this one is less a raunchy teen comedy and more of a teen comedy mixed with a social message drama. And again it has a scene that had me laughing so hard my sides hurt and I had trouble breathing. It is the scene right after the guys leave Pee Wee in the graveyard. And the drunk guy who is done up like a zombie,He comes walking out into the road and is almost hit by the police car. He keeps going "BOOGIE BOOGIE" and for some reason this always makes me laugh. "Porkys II the next day" gets a B.

"Porky's Revenge"

Released 2 years after "Porky's II" this is the only film in the series to not have been written or directed by the late great Bob Clark. I thought I had seen this before. But after viewing it the other day I realized I had never seen it before. It does go back to the level of raunchiness that the original had. And it has the best looking female cast of all three of the films. Plus you get the return of Porky,who was strangely absent for the second film. But all of that still doesn't keep this from being the worst of the series. Plus by this time the main cast looked to be in their late 30s and it is kinda hard to accept them as high school seniors. And a few of the guys from the previous two don't return and no reason is given in the film as to why. "Porky's Revenge" gets a solid B-.

Darkness Falls

Darkness Falls

Picked this DVD up last year at a yard sale. I had never heard much about it,but it was only 50 cents so I took a chance. Big mistake. Set in the town of Darkness Falls,it seems there is a local legend about the Tooth Fairy. She comes and collects kid's teeth,but if you happen to see her she will kill you. Movie starts off with a kid who has just lost his last baby tooth,and before he goes to sleep he gets a visit from a the girl next door. Kid goes to sleep,and wakes up hearing some strange noise in his room. He looks up and sees the Tooth fairy,which causes him to scream. His mother runs in and also sees the Tooth Fairy. The Fairy proceeds to kill the mom as the kid runs off and hides in the bathroom. It turns out the Tooth Fairy can't get you if you are in light. The movie cuts to the next morning and the boy is being lead away by cops. And the girl that came to visit him the night before has a very sad look on her face.

Now we jump ahead about 12 years. We see a lady in a hospital and it turns out her younger brother is having problems. He hasn't slept more than 10 minutes in almost a year.The brother has also seen the Tooth Fairy and now refuses to be in the dark. At her wits end the older sister calls the kid from the beginning of the film. Who lives in a room that has multiple lights. He comes to help and tries his best to keep the Tooth Fairy from getting the brother. Well the movie just goes downhill from here. Horrible acting plus a bad script equals one big shit pile of a film. The effects are the only decent part of the film. One thing I did notice is without the credits this film is about 68 minutes long. That has to be one of the shortest big release theatrical films in a long time. Darkness Falls easily earns a D-.
