Blood Car

So, are you tired of the high price of gas?  Sick of every time a holiday comes around the prices at the pumps jumping by 20 to 30 cents?  Well, do I have an answer for you!  What if I told you that you could run a car on wheat-grass...with a little additive?  What if I told you that fuel is literally walking around you right now?  What would you pay for that?  Well, if you said twelve million dollars, you'd be waaaaaay to high, but, if you'd like to spend that, I'm sure the makers of Blood Car wouldn't mind it a bit!

  Now, you can't get a car that runs on blood...yet...but, you can get a movie about a Blood Car that's called...well...Blood Car.  And, if you enjoy a little social and political commentary mixed with humor and some horror, then Blood Car is right up your alley (parking spot?).  Here's the story: Archie Andrews is living in the near future, a future where gas is priced at about 30 dollars a gallon, and only the ultra rich drive.  Archie is desperately working on a way to get an engine he invented to run on wheat grass, when, while experimenting while tired, he accidentally cuts himself and bleeds into the wheat grass mixture!  When the engine fires right up, Archie realizes that he's stumbled onto something, an engine that will run on blood, but, after a couple of wrong steps, he realizes that it's only human blood that the engine will use (sort of like a car that only takes premium fuel!).  And, he also learns that really hot chicks dig guys with cars, so, what's a fella to do?  Archie works his way past his conscience (he's a vegetarian, after all), and forces himself to kill people to keep his ladies happy.

Now, once the government gets wind of all this, it turns to Archie to keep the country moving...no matter what the cost!  Blood Car has just about everything you'd look for in a movie, romance, horror, some action, and comedy, I'm giving it three and a half out of four cigars, and it only lost a half a cigar because I actually want to see what happens next!  Mike Brune is excellent as Archie, Katie Rowlett is great as Denise, the girl who REALLY likes a guy with a car and, let's not forget Anna Chulmsky as the quiet Lorraine is perfect for this role!  If you enjoy a really good movie, no matter the genre, then you're going to love Blood Car.  So, until next time, when I'll be trying to get my car to run on alcohol, not that stuff they make out of corn, I'm talking about 100 proof Jack Daniels...talk about drinking and driving...until then, remember that the best movies are bad movies!
