"The Aristocrats" ; "The Hills Have Eyes"

Saw both of those recently.  Mini-reviews:

ARISTOCRATS - Extremely funny to those who have very loose senses of good taste/bad taste. I have no sense of boundary between the two, so it was excellent for me. Highlights included Billy the Mime's rendition of the joke, Bob Saget's, and the one involving a polyp. Yummy yummy! Perhaps it dragged a bit in the middle-to-end bit, because some of the better performances were at the start (for example, Gilbert Gottfried had two bits in the film. One was him talking about bleeding, one was him onstage. The latter was lauded as the funniest thing since the original laugh, yet the former was much much funnier - the onstage bit just having lots of "fuck"s in it rather than originality). 3.5/5.

THE HILLS HAVE EYES - Somewhat flawed, but decent, horror remake. In fact, not at all bad except in the few bits where it descended into bad modern-horror cliche - notably the opening scene (CUT IT!), the random sweeps of dark shapes across the frame (CUT 'EM!), and the lame, cop-out ending (CUT IT!). The ending - man. I really WANTED the characters to get a happy ending, because damn, they deserved it with the shit they (and we) went through. And we get this beautiful heroic ending, music, everything coming together, and then...SUSPRISE! Not. Fuck it. Anyway, fantastic makeup effects, pretty good cinematography, decent acting, and an OK script. Basically, any movie with mutants has my ticket dollars, and this movie has some really cool ones (seemingly cooler than X3, anyway, which I'll be seeing this week probably, but not cooler than X2, which had MFing Nightcrawler). A few snips here and there could have made it a really great horror film - as it is, it's merely a pretty-good horror film with some GREAT bits (the assault on the trailer and on the mutant town, and the "daddy" scene) and some SHITE bits (all the cliche stuff). Nips and tucks are needed here. Yep.
