a quick recap

alissa and i went to see hostel tonight. i must admit, after eli roth's previous camp fest 'cabin fever' (and with tarantino attached as a producer), i was highly anticipating this gorefest. unfortunately, it wasn't up to par. the characters were weak, the gore was less than intense and the story fizzled away after about thirty five minutes. the one thing roth does well, however, is whisk the viewer into an environment in which they feel familiar, but the creepy secondary characters promptly change that.

please direct yourself here for a compact and number crunching review of the 1023 church impromptu party gig on saturday night. pictures included! thanks, deeg.
