MSN - News - Isaac Hayes Quits 'South Park'

I just read this article from MSN. Apparently Isaac Hayes is quitting South Park. The reason, it seems that Mr. Hayes feels that the show is religiously bigoted and intolerant. The real reason, according to Matt Stone is that Isaac Hayes is a Scientologist and was pissed with the episode spoofing his religion that aired last year. It the article Stone says "This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology... He has no problem — and he's cashed plenty of checks — with our show making fun of Christians." When will these celebs learn that their wackbehaviorur onlfuelsls the publics views on their religion.

The Hills Have Eyes

Directed by Alexander Aja and based on Wes Craven's 70's horror flick, The Hills Have Eyes is the latest addition to the ultra-violent horror genre. This is not new ground for Aja, his 2003 French film Haute Tension was sick, twisted and full of gore - think the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake only bloodier and infinitely more interesting. The plot of this film is the standard horror fair. An extended family gets stranded in the desert on their way to California. Father Bob (Ted Levine) sets off towards the gas station several miles back, son-in-law Doug (Aaron Stanford) walks in the other direction searching for help. Left behind with the trailer are Doug's wife and baby, Bob's wife and two other children. The family is then attacked by a band of mutated freaks and the shit hits the fan - I don't want to spoil the rest, just go see it. As you can guess, people die in painful ways using everything from an axe to a baseball bat. Now for the review, I loved it. This is a horror movie, and should be judged like a horror movie. These films don't win Oscars, so if you go in expecting Capote you're going to be disappointed. This film isn't the original TCM or Halloween, but it is a thrilling movie with some great "Oh Shit" moments. Aja again shows that he understands the horror genre in a way that few American filmmakers do. 4 out of 5 stars
