Teeth



Perhaps one the most interesting premises, I read about a movie.


Teeth is about a young lady who, well, has teeth, in her, er...um...nether regions. As she get's older, this difference becomes a tool for those that "deserve their comeuppance". A novel idea, I remember, being the typical perverted and dumb teenage male, joking about something like this and how it would make relations or even the attempt at them.


So, while this movie is classified as a horror movie, it's more than that. Yes, a bit campy, but sometimes movies that empower women (albeit it with vagina dentata) is always an interesting view for me. In this case, the entire premise lures me to want to buy it when it comes out on DVD. I would imagine this being a cult hit, kind of like Shaun of the Dead. I liked it for all it's darker humor and well, scariness that was fun.
If you get a chance, check it out. Enjoy it for what it is: a fun film, provoking a bit of humorous thought about the possibilities of what-if, and a bit of campy gore for those of you seeking that. It's all about having a bit of fun and conversations afterwards. Imagine getting a coffee afterwards and talking about it. The one scene that might just provoke the most conversation is her visit to the Ob-Gyn. Women of the world, I respect you and all that you contribute to this world. I can only hope that my wife never comes down with this.
Teeth's home page can be found here. It opens in LA and New York today.

Would you call that....skid marks?

Not exactly skid marks; more like teeth marks. Brings new meaning to those old rap lyrics, "Don't matter; just don't bite it."

Ouch.
