Well, saw Spiderman 3 recently and, like many others, I was extremely disappointed. I'm not going to go into all the reasons I hated the movie but one of the many was not enough Bruce Campbell. Sure he was in there and it was anything but a subtle cameo but they seriously need to consider making this dude a villain, I vote for Mysterio.

Anyway, leaving Spiderman 3 I decided to go back and visit the days when Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell were a force to be reckoned with so I started a "Evil Dead" marathon of sorts. I hadn't actually seen them and considering they are often revered as being a milestone in low-budget horror I had to see them for myself. So I watched all three over the past couple days and I definitely did enjoy them overall.

The original was actually extremely well filmed considering how low-budget it was. It certainly had a fair share of gross moments but nothing to extreme and overall it was really good. Then there is Evil Dead II which is definitely my favorite in the trilogy. Way more Bruce Campbell then in the first film and just a much lighter, more fun-oriented vibe. Also, this version had some pretty sweet commentary with Bruce, Sam and some other chaps that worked on the film. Unfortuantely, the trilogy kind of ended on a lesser note with Army of Darkness. It tries to recreate the light, comedic tone but it is way to obvious with it's gags and the director's cut I saw had a really irritating ending.

Anyway, pretty sweet trilogy overall and I plan to continue watching Bruce Campbell's films, starting with Bubba Ho-Tep. Really hoping they go ahead and make an Evil Dead 4 sometime and there is talk of a Bubba Ho-Tep sequel so the future looks bright for Bruce Campbell. Sadly, Evil Dead: Regeneration, the game widely considered as the best of the Evil Dead games, is currently not backwards compatible on the 360 so I can't experience playing as Ash yet, but hopefully the next batch of backwards compatible games will include it on the list. Here's hoping. Anyway, thats it for now.
