Hehe , i brought it up as someone somewhere else had posted a vid clip of Ms. emptying a round or two.
The 'Ms' ... Zoe Tamerlis right ? used to be ghosting Ave A right near Simon R's old place on E 4th.
The movie itself was a bit of a sensation when it came out.
Miles better then Abel's later what was it - an attempt at a Wm Gibson short story
New Rose Hotel.

today I watched a Hallmark movie called Psycho Stripper. It was about a stripper who was a psycho. He had latched on to a woman who resembled his dead ex and wanted to sabotage her wedding so he could have her to himself and ruin the groom's life since he blamed the groom for his ex being dead. It was both the most predictable, obvious thing I've ever sat through, and yet riddled with so many plotholes and deus ex machina moments that it was actively infuriating. The titular villain killed a hairdresser and then two of the couple's friends, and the film ended with the couple being happily married on the site of the murders. It was a truly awful story, and the cast were all terrible, to the point where flubbed lines hadn't been edited out, and every set looked distractingly cheap. Obviously I loved it in the way people love Formula One when there's car crashes.

Blood Rain ( 2005 )
A Scooby Doo mystery remade as a gore filled Korean costume drama set in 1808
A shipment of high quality paper is due to be shipped to the Korean king from a small island famed for its technologically advanced paper mill. Moments after a special ritual to bless the voyage is disturbed by the presiding shaman becoming possessed and proclaiming "Have you been living comfortably after tearing my body to shreds? Your blood will soak the ground and your flesh stripped to the bone!", the ship bursts into flames and the King's tribute is burnt to cinders.
Enter the King's special investigator who arrives just in time to witness the aftermath of the first of a series of sadistic yet improbable murders - an impaled body bundled in a straw mattress is found hanging from a tree. The villagers believe the ghost of the former mill owner is responsible. He had been murdered, along with members of his family,seven years previously for being a Catholic. The detective, well versed in the latest forensic techniques, doesn't fall for that nonsense.
However I can understand why the villagers might think that as the following murders involve such a high degree of planning, logistics, and timing that it would be almost impossible for a human to pull off. One victim is lowered into a well of boiling water by an elaborate pulley system, another while in custody is suffocated by wet paper causing an artery to burst, and yet another when being interrogated is shot by an arrow which is attached to a rope that can then be tugged to dramatically slam him into a tree trunk. Also, the killer wears a distinctive "ghost" costume while committing the crimes..

Resurrecting this thread cos one of those completely interchangeable police procdurals is on (you know CSI New York, Law and Order, CSI Miami, Criminal Minds, CSI LA etc etc) and it appears that they are tracking a murderer who "gets off on strangling people and then recussitating them and doing it again so that he feels as though he absolute control over their life and death". Well, fairly standard, I think they had a serial killer just like that in Silent Witness one time too.... but wait, there is more to this one, in fact it turns out that our killer has been diagnosed with a terminal illenss and he is trying to find out what death will be like by engedering near death experiences in his victims and then interrogating them about their experiences of after he's brought them back, before he kills them again (and again).

Hangman
Starring Al Pacino as an ex-cop who solves crosswords in Latin and does a mean parody of Al Pacino . A Pulitzer prize nominated journalist is doing a story on her hometown, and Pacino's ex-partner has drawn the short straw and is ordered by the wheelchair bound chief of police to show her around, much to his chagrin. Their first trip out on patrol and there is a call - murder at the local school. Outside: a body hanging from a lampost. Inside: an elaborate tableu composed of two schoolkid sized mannequins sitting in front of a desk on which are carved the badge numbers of Al and the detective, behind which is a blackboard with the start of a hangman game written in chalk:
_V_ _ _ _ _ O_ _
The autopsy reveals that the corpse has an "O" carved into her chest. The detective enlists the aid of Pacino and along with the journalist conducts a search of the corpse's flat and find a wardrobe full of Ann Summers' BDSM collection. This is the first of, what I would assume, are multiple breaches of protocol. Pacino isn't a cop, he's an ex-cop, and I don't think that would give him the right to interrogate suspects. Also, didn't the police have a minimum height required when he first signed up?
As if the first murder wasn't totally improbable, the plotting just gets worse. Each murder occurs at 11 pm ( 23:00 ) and, as well as having a letter carved into the corpse's flesh, the crime scene contains a clue as to who the next victim will be or the location of where they will be found hanging. It's a race against time! One of the most ridiculous scenes is set in a train yard where the, still living, victim is hanging above the track and the detective and his crew have to try and get them down before the 11 o'clock train smashes into them..what does the detective do? He drives a car on to the tracks so he can reach up to the steel wire around the victim's neck just in time for the train to smash into it and cause a huge explosion.
There are so many things wrong with this film that I don't have time to list them all...
