The Boys Review

Starring: Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chase Crawford, Tomer Karon, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Elisabeth Shue

Have you wondered what it would be like if your beloved superheroes were really bad and corrupt? Well, that's what you get with the new series now streaming on Amazon Prime and that series is called THE BOYS.

Based on the comic book series of the same name, THE BOYS is about a young man named Hugh, who teams up with a few vigilantes to seek justice after his girlfriend is killed by one of his childhood heroes  named A-Train.

Billy Butcher, the leader of THE BOYS has his own agenda against the head superhero known as Homelander and wants his own vengeance.

As the series moves on, we learn so many secrets as to where these superheroes actually came about and it's shocking.

I, for one am not a comic book fan at all, except for very few movies that I did like, but I was actually planning to skip this show for that reason. I am so glad that I gave it a chance because THE BOYS is one killer of a time.

The cast is amazing and they did a great job. You really hate the superheroes, well most of them because all they do is think of themselves rather than save those that desperately need it, especially one scene in particular that broke my heart so much. You can definitely understand why they need to be stopped.

I was so happy to see a cameo with Simon Pegg. That was a nice surprise. He was fun in the few episodes he appeared in. I was really shocked when I found out that Haley Joel Osment was in the show. I seriously did not recognize him at first, but upon a second glance and a look in his eyes, I saw that it definitely was him. He looked so different, but he did a really good job.

THE BOYS is packed with lots of violence. It really doesn't let up and it kept me glued to each episode until the shocking and twisted end. It's also pretty funny at times too, which was truely needed and made me laugh.

THE BOYS has become one of my favorite shows in 2019 and I can't wait for Season 2. If you haven't seen it yet, you really need to. I highly recommend it.

Zombarella's House of Whorrors Review

Directed by: Tony Masiello and Tim Ritter Remember the good old days of USA Up All Night back in the 90's? Those were the best times and those great memories were brought back with Zombarella's House of Whorrors. Very beautiful and very busty Zombarella presents it's viewers with a SOV suck fest called Tales From the Mausoleum from director Fred Olen Wood. We are also presented with lots of commercials, trailers and 1-900 numbers to titilate your senses. First of all, I didn't know what I was in for when I started watching Zombarella's House of Whorrors, but from the very beginning I smiled the entire time. I remember staying up late night watching these kinda of programs including all those adult 1-900 numbers and this film made me extremely happy. Some of them were a bit ridiculous, but I had a lot of fun watching them. I think my favorites are 1-900-Get-Cream and 1-900-Date-A-Mate. I'd call them if I could. I loved all the trailers that are includ

Crowley Review

Starring: Simon Callow, Kal Weber, Lucy Kudden, Jud Charlton, Paul McDowell, John Shrapnel Director: Julian Doyle Originally titled Chemical Wedding, Crowley (the US title) tells the tale of Neo-Pagan Aleister Crowley, known as "The Wickedest Man in the World", who died in 1947. 50 years after his death, Cambridge scholar Professor Oliver Haddo enters a Virtual Reality Machine, but things go awry and he becomes possessed by the spirit of Crowley. Crowley proceeds to begin his occult practices all over again, in search for a "scarlet bride" to marry and increase his powers. I really didn't know what to expect, but this was one of the most kick ass movies I've seen in a long time. Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson co-wrote this little tale and I was surprised. I love Bruce Dickinson, but had no idea that he could write a movie such as this. Simon Callow, who portrayed Haddo/Crowley was amazing. He freaked me out in so many

The Future

I have made a huge decision about the future of Gates of Gore. In the event that I can no longer do Gates of Gore (and that will be a long time from now) I am very happy to announce that I will be leaving Gates of Gore in the capable hands of Mitch Penman. In the future, he will be in control of everything Gates of Gore related, so that the Gore will live on, even if I can't do it anymore. This is exciting on so many levels of excitement!!!!!!
