Is There Food has moved again. I’m now hosted by Webfaction, and first impressions are rather good.
More info coming soon, but this was just to say that any odd behaviour is likely the result of the move, and please let me know!
Also - if Gary or Nicola read this: you need to get in touch with me! Nameservers need a-changin’.
I was going to review Rambo, but having read Harry’s review over on Ain’t It Cool, I think I’ll just reprint a couple of quotes and link across to it. I can’t express my feelings for this any better than he already has.
"When Rambo gets started - he makes the nightmare monsters of horror films seem like the cuddly things you hang on a mobile above your baby’s crib. He’s not just death… he’s really bad death. He’s the closed casket version of death."
"Stallone is Lee Marvin, John Wayne and Clint Eastwood’s ID MONSTER."
"Jesus will weep - and you will cheer!"
I think they should use that last one on the poster!
Now, if that sounds like your idea of a good time, go and see Rambo. It’s the single most violent movie I have ever seen. There are gibs and gore a-plenty. It out splatters most splatter movies. As Harry says in his review, Stallone was obviously smoking the same stuff that Peckinpah used when he filmed the ending of the The Wild Bunch.
It’s a mesmerizing ballet of political incorrectness. More please.
