Advantages: Alright slasher Disadvantages: It's been done before. Lynda Day
It's 1942 a young boy is playing peacefully I his bedroom. However, somehow it's a jigsaw of a naked woman he has and his mother is annoyed at discovering this and finding heaps of pornography hidden all over his bedroom. She demands that he goes and gets her the matches so she can burn it all but the weird child being a true blue porn fan instead gets an axe and brutally, albeit very unrealistically, kills his mother. He is then found in the blood covered room after cutting her into several pieces.
Many years later and we have a random scene of a woman skating about on some University grounds before she crashes into two men carrying a mirror across a road. That scene seems pointless and is forgotten. But then another young woman is sitting on the lawn reading her book when she is disturbed by a man with a chainsaw cutting ...

Advantages: Great entertainment, hilarious! Disadvantages: Not sure it's supposed to be funny!
In the early nineteen forties, a young boy resents his mother's intrusion into his bedroom and takes an axe to her, pretending afterwards that he was an innocent bystander. Some forty years later, young girls on a college campus begin to be picked off by an electric saw-wielding madman. It seems that the killer must be someone on the campus, perhaps a teacher, and the police officers in charge of the case, along with a fast-thinking student, do their best to keep on the killer's tail. Yet the murders continue, each one gorier than the last. Will they ever catch the murderer? And what is the link with the young boy?
For some strange reason, there is a following for horror films that are so bad that they are good - I, for one, am a fan. Pieces, or Mil Gritos Tiene La Noce (One Thousand Cries Has the Night) as it was originally called ...

Advantages: Some very decent music Disadvantages: For the fans, the new songs are a bit of a let down
strength of character too. It is this combination that has enabled her to release a greatest hits album "Pieces of a Dream" after only five years as a major label singer, yet still manage to pack it with hits.
The album opens with the debut single, "I'm Outta Love", a song which grabbed me from the first and made me an Anastacia fan to start with. In five years, nothing has changed and I still love this song. It's a high tempo pop song, with soul undertones and a beat that has you dancing and unable to help yourself. At the time this was released, there was really no-one who combined soul and heavy pop the way Anastacia did and there are very few singers today who have the strength in their vocal to pull it off even now.
The second track is also from her debut album. This time it is the title track from 2000's "Not That Kind". This ...
