Hilariously bad, Killer Workout is a treat for fans for fans of the cheesiest in horror and can proudly boast that it introduces the worst killer weapon ever. Hyperbole? Absolutely not. The…

Audiobook Sorority - Best in Tumblr Now

In this poetic and inspiring memoir, one of America's most revered actresses uses the imagery of flowers and the art of Ikebana to depict the unique creative bond that she has had with her mother throughout the years-and how, together, they are facing her mother's struggle with Alzheimer's disease. Marcia Gay Harden knew at a young age that her life would be anything but ordinary. One of five lively children born to two Texas natives-Beverly, a proper Dallas lady, and Thad, a young officer in the US Navy hailing from El Paso-she always had a knack for storytelling, role-playing, and mischief-making. As a military family, the Hardens moved often, and their travels abroad eventually took them to a home off the coast of Japan. It was here that Beverly, amidst the many challenges of raising a gaggle of youngsters, found solace in Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Using the imagery of flowers and Ikebana as her starting point, Marcia Gay Harden takes us through the different seasons of her mother's life, all the while weaving in the story of her own journey from precocious young girl to budding artist to Academy Award-winning actress. With a razor-sharp wit, as well as the kind of emotional honesty that has made her performances resonate with audiences worldwide, Marcia describes the family's travels overseas, her flourishing career in New York and Hollywood, and, most poignantly, Beverly's struggles today to maintain her identity as she tackles her greatest challenge yet: Alzheimer's disease. Featuring photographs of gorgeous Ikebana arrangements created specially for this book, this memoir illustrates the uniqueness, beauty, and unforgettable love of motherhood, as Marcia does what Beverly can no longer do: she remembers. Like a cross between Mary Karr's The Liars' Club and Lisa Genova's Still Alice, this memoir is a lyrical, loving homage to one mother's strength as reflected in the tenacity and artistry of her daughter.

Aerobi-cide (1987)

David A. Prior

[brokehorrorfan]

Blu-ray Review: Killer Workout

It's safe to say Killer Workout (also known as Aerobi-cide) wasn't revered upon its debut. Released straight to video in 1987, the film was just another slasher in a sea of low budget horror films vying for attention on the video store shelf. Yet now, nearly three decades later, it's a fun reminder of simpler times when such a movie could develop a cult following.

Written and directed by David A. Prior (Deadly Prey, Raw Justice), Killer Workout concerns a murderer killing off patrons at a local fitness club. It offers little character development, even by '80s slasher movie standards. Despite this fact, the plot carries a surprising amount of melodrama, reaching soap opera levels in the final act.

The cast of underdeveloped characters includes Marcia Karr (Savage Streets) as the fitness center's no-nonsense owner, David James Campbell (Scarecrows) as the detective on the case, Ted Prior (Deadly Prey) as a macho hunk who's always ready to fight, and Fritz Matthews (Deadly Prey) as the resident gym douche.

Killer Workout features no less than seven sequences of synchronized aerobics in 85 minutes. It's likely they were all filmed at once, but they're spread throughout the movie, giving the illusion that people keep showing up despite the widespread murder. It's a never-ending stream of characters bouncing around in vibrant, form-fitting outfits (complete with leg warmers!) while cheesy synth-pop songs play.

While that aerobics are the worst offense, you could easily turn the movie's repetitive nature into a drinking game if you're looking to get trashed. Take a shot every time you see the coroners carrying a body bag; chug a beer during every awkward fight scene!

The killer's weapon of choice is the film's most baffling choice in a sea of poor decisions. You'd think it would be something gym-related, given the setting, but instead an oversized safety pin is employed to take out victims. It's certainly original (unlike the black ski mask they wear), but it's just so weird.

It doesn't help that the death scenes are pretty tame. The lone standout comes from the opening scene, in which a girl is fried to a crisp in a tanning bed. Similar scenes later appeared in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legends: Bloody Mary and Final Destination 3, but Killer Workout is the originator.

Killer Workout is receiving its first official Blu-ray and DVD release from Slasher // Video (distributed by Olive Films). The transfer was sourced from a PAL Beta SP tape, then upconverted to Blu-ray specifications. It's essentially like watching a crisp VHS tape, complete with full screen 4:3 aspect ratio and the occasional warping.

It won't be the highlight of your high-definition collection, but it feels right to enjoy such a film with its imperfections. For special features, the disc includes the original Killer Workout title sequence (the feature carries the Aerobi-cide name; this is the same scene with a different title card), a photo gallery and the trailer.

Killer Workout is so steeped in 1980s cliches that it could be mistaken for a modern parody of the era. While its low budget is apparent, the movie offers better production value than many of its straight-to-video contemporaries. Its lasting legacy may be the fact that its so unintentionally cheesy, but at least it has something by which to be remembered.

Killer Workout will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on November 17 via Slasher // Video.

Orsatti Stunts: Harry Wowchuk Grip: Leon Ayres Grip: Ben Beaird First Assistant Director: Tommy Thompson Movie Reviews: John Chard: Very up and down in its telling of an horrendous story. This is the loosely based on facts story of Carla Moran, a woman who was allegedly tormented and sexually molested by an invisible demon. Regardless of if the facts of the case are fictionalised for impact, or if indeed there is any basis of truth to the attacks in question, The Entity as a film fails to rise above average due to sloppy direction and a very poor script, whilst the score from Charles Bernstein is akin to being hit over the head repeatedly with a blunt instrument. That said, the film isn’t a total wash out, there are genuine moments of dread in the piece, and most of the tension and fear is realised from a very credible performance from Barbara Hershey as Carla. The nature of the beast with this type of picture will always be open to either scoffing or a fear of the unknown, so to get the audience involved with a topic like this you really need your protagonist to be believable, Hershey manages to do this in spite of the character bei...
