A night to remember the classics.
So last week the hyper violence continued. Thanks to Suleman who was gracious enough to choose this shoot em’ up killer movie, only to not bother to show up, we got to watch one of Marvel comics darkest characters come to life in vivid face punching, head exploding, chandelier twirling color.
Movie Comrades, In a low turnout week we watched a surprisingly good movie, Hardcore Henry. For a gimmick movie it worked really well and had a pretty decent plot.
The fruit that must not be named is finally done away with. Our hero retired to the small town where he opened up a neighborhood pizzeria with the best raspberry sauce pizza. But things quickly develop when our new star, not George Clooney, meets the lovely Tara Boumdeay (Karen Mistal)(Kelly Kapowski) while out delivering one of those amazing pizzas. There the viewer learns that music isn’t a weakness but a strength for Professor Gangreen and his evil henchman/future news reporter Igor. The evil pair plan to take of the world with their new tomato soldiers and the help of incarcerated Bob Downs(?). But what they never planned for was puberty love. Not the song, the kids. And the help of a fuzzy tomato(FT). With the kids help, some cameos with previous heroes, and 30 minutes of reused footage it made for another fantastic adventure that was able to continue with two more movies and a
Movie Phantasms, No quotes jump out at me from this movie. It was the second time I have seen it and I only barely understand the plot.
So I guess I’ll handle the recap for this week. Unfortunately I didn’t get any screenshots simply because I wasn’t expecting to do the honors. Maybe we need to come up with an official routine for who is writing these things. It could be as simple as do the recap for the movie you chose, obviously it should be put out no later than the following Thursday. Anyway let’s get to it.
Rowdy Movie Pipers, It was my choice this week and with that weighty responsibility I went with 1988’s “Hell Comes to Frogtown”. Starring Roderick George Toombs as ‘Sam Hell’ a man so virile that what’s left of the government after WW4 has enslaved him as some kind of super stud to repopulate the earth.
MACGRUBER!!! Although I wasn’t ever really a fan of this skit on SNL, I understand its meaning to some, and I’ll always remember the original theme song. I guess that was the first thing that took away from this movie for me. This movie wasn’t terrible or great for me and instead was a run of the mill mediocre viewing.
NO RECAP AVAILABLE????
Movie Scientists, Have you ever wanted to watch a movie where bunch of horned up scientists are trapped on a remote space station where they are attacked and eventually farmed as a food source by a crude Alien knockoff? You didn’t even know what you were missing in your life. I did a little research and found out that even in 1982 this was reviewed as ‘low budget’ which is evident by the takeout containers lining the walls. But for me it was full of the excessive nudity, unintentional humor and weird plot choices that make an old bad movie great.
Movie Droids, The question we have from last week is how can that movie that features a giant robot dick chainsaw be so slow and boring. The answer is probably “low budget 80’s special effects” But there were so many thumbs up from everybody in this movie that I have to give it credit for that. I think the major message is that women may talk a big game but will instantly crumble under the slightest pressure, AM I RIGHT, HIGH FIVE, Thumbs UP! WHOOOOOOOO TEX! and then it just fucking ends, all friends again, thumbs up.
