My Super Psycho Sweet Sixteen

MTV's My Super Psycho Sweet Sixteen has been airing quite a bit lately, and I finally got around to watching it last night. Based on the annoying/hit TV series, My Super Psycho Sweet Sixteen is a surprisingly awesome slasher, with all the elements that make a slasher movie good - gore, tongue-in-cheek humor, some underlying social commentary. The premise? A rich and spoiled girl, Madison, gets her parents to arrange a huge birthday bash at a closed roller rink. The rink was the site of a bloody massacre ten years earlier, but this isn't stopping Madison from throwing her party...and of course the fun and guts ensues. Really, I have to ask - who wouldn't want to see a My Super Sweet Sixteen girl get cut up?

For what basically is a made for TV movie (it had a one week limited theater run) it really is quite high on production values, and I was also pleasantly surprised to see how much gore made it. Evidently the DVD will have a few scenes added that they just couldn't show on TV, but I still thought it was way above average for this type of audience, which is always a good thing when it comes to slashers.

Of course, it wouldn't be making an appearance on this blog if it didn't also have some great music, and that comes in the form of previous favorites the Electric Owls, who contributed the song "Put the Candle Back" to the movie. For those of you who have seen the movie, the song plays when Madison, Olivia and Chloe get ready for the big party. I hope to have a video clip of the scene ASAP, but this might just have to wait until the DVD release. For now, I would reccomend watching the film if you haven't already, and heading on over to the Electric Owls MySpace page to listen to give "Put the Candle Back" a spin.

Pop Culture Song of the Week

I know I just blogged about this song the other day, but I really can't get enough of "Magic Show" by the Electric Owls, so I've named it this week's Pop Culture Song of the Week. Oh and sorry everyone that this posting is a day late, but I'm still recovering from Spring Break fever :)

Thanks to sotlat at the 90210 Music Livejournal community, I now have a clip to show to you. This video is actually a montage of all Silver/Dixon scenes from the last episode, but at about 3:44 you can check out the scene and the song. 

90210 loves Andy Herod (but not as much as me)

The new 90210 has been hit-and-miss so far. One of my main issues has been that they seem to be throwing out way too many subplots, which makes everything icky and cluttered. However, sometimes they get it just right, and last night's episode was great! The big news today is that Dustin Milligan (aka Ethan) won't be returning next year, but I personally find that this isn't a bad thing at all because I thought he was one of the more bland characters. I love the Liam/Naomi storyline regardless of how much of a fake %^@$%& Naomi is, and want to see more of this develop. 

Silver, the most awesome crazy character alive, also had a juicy storyline of her own.  I won't spoil it, but I'll just say this : if you missed it, you really shouldn't have. Hint: it involves a racy home video with Dixon. Good stuff. Oooh and just prior to the best scene involving Silver,  they used an awesome song called "Magic Show" by The Electric Owls. The Electric Owls are a new band, but their frontman, Andy Herod, is a familiar face. He used to date Michelle Williams, and is also the singer of one of my favorite bands, The Comas. Head on over to The Electric Owls' Myspace page to hear this catchy tune.
