Editorial Review:

Amazon.comThe main draw of these low-budget horror pictures is their unabashed affection for the great horror movies of the past. In Waxwork, Zach Galligan and his teen friends investigate a wax museum, where they are menaced by the re-animated tableaux. It's about as energetic as a wax dummy. The sequel is livelier, with Galligan now passing through a time portal that transports him to various classic film scenarios: Frankenstein, Dawn of the Dead, Alien, and, briefly and amusingly, Nosferatu (that's Drew Barrymore as one of the virgins cowering in bed). But why no parody of Vincent Price in House of Wax? It goes on too long, but there are weird celebrity guest stars aplenty (Bruce Campbell, David Carradine, Martin Kemp). Director Anthony Hickox helmed both offerings, without quite deciding how much humor was too much humor. In short, genre cultists are pretty much the exclusive audience here. --Robert Horton

Here is a film that has come onto the scene under the scope of the major hollywood films. A very underrated film that should be a major hit in the US. It is a humorous and horrorific movies that does justice to the genres that they are in. A must have!

- TAKE A CLOSER LOOK!!!!!
Waxwork and Waxwork 2 are very inovating horror films. Now we can enjoy both movies on one disk!!! Great "POPCORN" movies from the "AWESOME 80's!!! I just purchased this dvd and Waxwork pt 1, is the UNRATED version... so your seeing all the blood and gore, especially in the Wereolf and the Vampire slayer scenes. Waxwork--UNRATED and Waxwork 2---RATED R. Hope this helped anyone. "Steak Tar Tar anyone?" ENJOY!!!!

- Waxworks and Waxworks 2
I know these movies are a little campy, but I like them. Especially the different scenes of the wax figures and their different story lines. Hollywood could almost make a movie or series about different scary time-travelers every week. The acting is so-so, this movie is a "drive-in" type movie. Waxworks 2 is a little deeper than Waxworks 1, but the story is more involved, and the lead character is the same actor. It doesn't explain a lot of little nuances, but then again, it's not Oscar material.If you want a good semi-scary/ funny movie for a Saturday nite, then these two movies would do it. One more thing, there are a few surprise guest actors in the movies, especially Waxworks 2,like David Carradine (of Kill Bill), and Drew Barrymore, among others.

- MIDNIGHT, good hour, after dinner but before breakfast
Sure I was online looking for the original Waxwork, and seen they threw Waxwork II in there as well. Glad they did, I do enjoy the first better but depending on my mood occasionally the second will suit my fancy.
These movies never get old, and there is not so much blood, guts, and gore but that is not the style of this dynamic duo. I think any movie that can throw humor, suspence, and a multitude of horror characters is A1 in my book. Enjoy viewing!

- what's not to love about it?
It's really impossible to be bored by these movies if you're a fan of horror comedies and the 80's. They're just perfect fun, you can watch them again and again, and best of all, you get both movies for the price of one. I wish the DVD hadn't put on the fullscreen version, but that doesn't matter so much, not with cheesy fun horror movies like this. Pure cheesy fun.

Sun in Trouble

Sun Microsystems has announced plans to cut between 5,000 and 6,000 jobs — that's between 15 and 18 percent of its workforce.

"It blamed the cuts on the global economic downturn, but I think that like many other companies, Sun is using the downturn as an excuse for what were pre-existing problems, foretold by its stock price, which seems to be in an unending swoon," suggests GigaOM's Om Malik.

"How much has Sun spent to develop Solaris or Java?" asks InfoWorld's Neil McAllister. "How much must it continue to invest in maintaining other products, which, despite being open source, have no appreciable development community? To say these products are not loss leaders suggests something akin to Hollywood accounting."

The answer? "Spin off Java," McAllister added in a later post. "Just get rid of it — farm it out to an industry consortium and let the companies that depend upon it manage it..."
