Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)

  This is the most perfect double feature with Deliverance.  Two sides, same coin.  Seriously, watch Deliverance and then watch this right after.

Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler Labine) are two easy-going rednecks off to enjoy a vacation at their "summer cabin" (which might be the same one from Evil Dead).  They rescue a co-ed named Allison (Katrina Bowden) after she hits her head while skinny-dipping and take her back to the cabin until she wakes up.  Unfortunately, Allison's friends immediately assume Tucker and Dale are chainsaw-wielding inbred hillbilly psychos and mount an assault on the cabin to save Allison.

This movie had so many laugh-out-loud moments and it is a crying shame that it does not have a higher profile.  It's just a fantastically funny movie.  If you liked Cabin in the Woods, you'll enjoy Tucker & Dale.

In other news, I finished season 3 of Deadwood and I'm really sad now that was how it had to end.  I wanted more from the characters.  I guess that's all you can ask from a show, though.
