...have to confess that my standards for “excellent” are not quite as stringent for a horror film as for movies of other genres. Most horror flicks, that is, are so comically awful that anything with a semi-coherent plot and reasonably good acting already qualifies as decent, and the scale goes up or down from there.

Eminem and Kid Rock have been swaggering up the charts for the past few years, marketing their supposedly humble origins. Their macho antics embody the almost nostalgic perception of the tough trailer trash man as misogynist; aptly, the uniform of the trend is known...
