As most of us no doubt know, it’s hard enough just to live with yourself after committing a gruesome murder – let alone dealing with logistics of the body and police and all that jazz. Thank god the act itself can be done pretty easily these days – what with all the guns and knives and catapults we have access to. Of course the problem is that your victim is always going to see it coming when you’re wheeling out your homemade trebuchet, which is why the best weapon is the one that’s right under their noses. The moving pictures know this, and have given us some remarkable kills with very unremarkable items in the past… Oh also – be warned now, the following is pretty gross.

One of the films that came storming out of Comic-Con was Shoot Em’ Up, an all out assault type of flick in which Clive Owen shows off his MacGyver skills and Paul Giammatti goes way over the top as a vicious psychopath. Caught in the middle is the always alluring Monica Bellucci — a vixen that has been coursing through my mind ever since Mal¨na. She was also quite hot in The Matrix.
