The Core Did you know that the core of our Earth is spinning beneath our feet even as you read this? You could have fooled El Hombre. Anyway, Earth's spinning core keeps the electric-magnetic field in place around our Earth which protects us humans from deadly microwave and other cosmic rays. Well, guess what. The core has stopped spinning. And Hillary Swank and her crew have to hurry, hurry, hurry to get to the core and start it spinning again. Sure, it's a one-in-a-billion chance. That's what makes this movie fun. Plus, Stanley Tucci has a full head of hair. I'm sure everyone has seen Tucci is many films, he's a great character actor and handsome man with a bald head. In "The Core" he plays an arrogant scientist who keeps his hair-growing ability a secret. If there's ever a sequel, and, if he lives through this one, he'll be a wealthy arrogant scientist in competition with The Hair Club for Men. "The Core" has a lot of drilling to the center of the Earth, lots of landmarks being destroyed, and lots of movie fun. The special effects are kind of cheesy, and this movie won't win an Oscar, but El Hombre doesn't care. It's a lot of movie fun. Ed Gein Ed grew up on a farm in Wisconsin and later into a troubled, psychotic man who didn't seem to fit anywhere. He was closest to his mother, despite her domineering and almost psychotic characteristics. After she died he had no one and the hell of alienation slowly took over. He dug up the graves of recently deceased women who reminded Eddie of his mother. He performed lone religious incantations over the body of his mother's corpse hoping to revive her. He'd use the corpses of other women he dug up to make furniture and fashioned soup bowls out of their skulls. Then it was on to live victims. He'd eat the meat, save and preserve their sexual organs and wrap his body with the skin as he danced by the full moon's light. El Hombre thinks his house must have had a horrible smell. Gein's crimes took place from 1945 to 1957. How did he get away with it for so long? No one ever paid attention to Eddie. In a way, El Hombre felt sorry for the guy, even though someone like that should be locked up for life, or put to death. In 1984 Gein died in prison from cancer at the age of 61. Gein appears on the right in this picture. He looks like a normal person. El Hombre says, "watch this movie." You'll understand where the ideas for "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" and "Psycho" originated. Very sobering. In your local video store you might find it renamed "In the Light of the Moon."
