Movie Night! 'WTF' Edition...

I was having a little Youtube break, the other day, and came across a video called '10 WTF Ideas Turned Into Movies'.  I'm always up for a little 'whatthefuckery' so gave it a watch and suddenly, this post was born :o) You see, one of the films appealed to my absolute immaturity whilst another film made me think, 'they couldn't make a whole film out of that, could they...?' Well, they did and yes, I sniggered a lot at the other one. No clues, see if you can guess which one was which...

'Bad Milo!' (2013)

Stressed executive Duncan discovers that his unusual stomach pains are caused by a demon living in his intestine. A demon that will emerge to kill whatever is stressing Duncan, and there are a lot of things that stress Duncan...

As soon as I realised that 'Bad Milo!' was a thing, I had to watch it and I'm really glad I did. I will take my laughs wherever I find them and however they come. 'Bad Milo!' is exactly the kind of film you'd expect about a demon that crawls out of a mans butt to dispense its own form of justice, and then crawls back up again once it's done. There is a lot of toilet humour and gore (of course) but there are also some surprisingly touching moments about learning to live with yourself and learning to forgive others too. Given the prevailing subject matter, you wouldn't think that this would all work together but it does and so you have this movie that's gross and sweet, all at the same time. I guess it all depends on where you stand with toilet jokes, if that's your thing (and it is mine) then 'Bad Milo!' is well worth a look.


 'Dead Sushi' (2012)

Yes, that is a woman being attacked by flying sushi.

And yes, I know. This is the paragraph where I summarize (and by that, I mean 'copy and paste') the plot but I'll be honest, I don't think there is a plot here; just an hour and a half our heroine trying to save her place of employment from mutant sushi and the living dead that it spawns. And, erm... that's it :o)

Don't worry though, the complete lack of plot doesn't count against the film at all, not when there are so many other things going on. Take all the fighting out and you still have the reproductive habits of sushi, acid spitting egg sushi, a guy with a fish head and oddest of all (even odder than the fish headed man), a flying battleship made out of sushi. The weirdest 'final boss' you'll ever see. It shouldn't work, it really shouldn't, but it comes at you so quickly that you don't have a lot of choice other than to just go with it.  That's what I did anyway and it worked for me :o)

Would I watch it again? Yes but I'd probably have a few drinks before and during, just to see what that does for the viewing experience ;o) It was fun and now I can say that I've seen a film about flying sushi, a win all round.

‘Deathworlder’ – Victoria Hayward (Black Library)

Before I get into the review proper, thank you Black Library for sending me a copy of ‘Deathworlder’ in return for a fair and honest review. Talking of ‘fair and honest’… There will be loads of the latter but I enjoyed the hell out of ‘Deathworlder’ so… We’ll see how being fair goes ;o) That’s your only warning, lets talk ‘Deathworlder’… Lazulai is a world beyond the brink, its battle against the tyranids all but lost. Once-magnificent cities lie in ruin. The seas boil. The skies crack. Horrific alien bioforms devour. In mere days the planet will be consumed. The 903rd Catachan ‘Night Shrikes’ defend one of the last fortresses still standing. Led by Major Wulf Khan, to die fighting is all that is expected of them… until she is given one last mission: to lead a squad through the apocalypse and recover a piece of archeotech that may doom or deliver the entire Lazulai System. Facing insurmountable odds and zero hope for aid, the major must hold her squad together as they pick their way ...

‘Cursed City’ – C.L. Werner (Black Library)

I always have these vague ‘reading resolutions’, for the New Year and without fail, they all come to absolutely nothing. I still read loads, just none of the books that I meant to… This year is panning out slightly differently and I think I’m going to enjoy it. All the books that were originally ‘out of sight, out of mind’, in the loft at my old place, are now all over my new place and wherever I look, I’m constantly discovering books that I totally forgot I had but now quite fancy reading. Books like ‘Cursed City’ for example… I’m not going to tell you how long ‘Cursed City’ was sat in my loft, lets just say it was long enough for me to totally forget it was there and buy myself another copy… Oh well. I found it on the shelf the other day (only the one copy now) and figured it was way overdue a read, let me tell you about it… Ulfenkarn is a city of nightmares. Its vampiric rulers have indulged their bloodlust in every shadow-clad alley, turning the once-proud metropolis into a charnel...

‘Day of Ascension’ – Adrian Tchaikovsky (Black Library)

Page Count – 196 Pages There isn’t a lot that’s good about moving house (especially when it slowly dawns on you just how much the new place is going to cost to run, I need to get another job…) but there are some good bits if you look for them. For me, it was mostly around getting all my books unpacked and back on shelves around me again, not stuffed up in the loft where I couldn’t see them. Old favourites were back within easy reach, along with a whole load of new books that I really should have read ages ago. You can probably guess what my main New Year’s resolution will be… ;o) ‘Day of Ascension’ was one of those new books and I figured it was as good a place as any to start over in making a dent in the ol’ TBR Pile. And I’m really glad I did. On the forge world of Morod, the machines never stop and the work never ends. The population toils in the mines and factoria to protect humanity from the monsters in the void, while the Adeptus Mechanicus enjoy lives of palatial comfort. Gene...
