A night to remember the classics.
Its review time again gents. Hopefully I’m not stealing anyone’s thunder this week, I have a few moments to myself while I power through this ruby red grapefruit at my desk. I need something to take my mind of the sour bitterness that is this fruit. Last week Shibbs chose Cat’s Eye, a collection of three Stephen King short stories that are presented in movie form with the only thing tying them together is a random stray cat who is eventually named General.
Movie grunts, So last week we had an elite squad consisting of Charlie, Chris J., Billy D., a brief showing of Mark as “Guest” accompanied by a fluffy white bunny avatar and of course yours truly. This dedicated few braved the viewing of a movie selection that came way out of left-field from Charlie. He upped the ante on his usual choice of either tomato themed horror movies or comedically twisted zombie flicks, to bless us with a zombie apocalypse themed action horror comedy.
Oh my friends where to begin. This movie is packed with more sci-fi cheesiness than one can bargain for and it is an entertaining ride of campy psychedelic visuals and rock music that mere words can’t really describe. My only gripe is kind of the same for most of the sci-fi adventures we endure, there’s always a slowdown somewhere in the middle of the film where random dialog takes over and kills the flow of the movie. I will admit I have no clue what was happening for most of the plot because I zoned out during this lull but thankfully things pick up just in time for one of the more satisfying final battle scenes I’ve ever experienced.
Movie Guerillas, Last wee we watched another Cannon Films Classic “Invasion USA” starring Carlos Ray “Chuck” Norris. By our judgment it was decidedly mediocre. The action sequences were actually pretty good, unless you count the planning of the final attack which seems to take place on one street for budget reasons.
Movie Katas, Last week on the illustrious movie night we watched the weird 80’s classic “Gymkata”. The skill of gymnastics, the Kill of Karate! Which follows in the grand 80’s tradition of hiring a star with one specific skill and this time it’s not acting!So the plot of this movie has all of the 80’s cliches. Secret agent Dad killed in action, world champion athlete son, training montage, sex montage, seducing a woman by doing sarcastic backflips.
Alright movie comrades, Mark has tasked me with reviewing last weeks movie selection, which has come to be known as the film that dictated all of his adolescent life decisions. I am greatly honored that he would place such responsibility in my hands. For me it is the sole equivalent to critiquing his life as we know it.
Movie Krullers, Last week we watched KRULL! A movie that I was sure I had seen before since I knew what that silly Krull blade was my entire life. But I was wrong. I may have been confusing it with Kull the Conqueror. My recap is fueled by wikipedia since I missed large sections of the movie dealing with a cranky baby. So… In a galaxy far far away… a giant space castle lands on a planet. Named KRULL apparently. Alien soldiers called slayers pour out of it and murderize anyone across the land. Two kingdoms decide to join forces through marriage and fight back. The princess is a smoking hot redhead who we do not see enough of in the movie. The prince is a tight pants wearing feathered haired ninny who would be more at home selling you bootleg John Denver cassettes out of the back of his Trans Am in a Denny’s parking
Movie पढ़ाकू, Last week we watched Singham. We had to read some of it, so you know it was Erskine’s pick. Lets describe the movie. But first you have to imagine that epic music is playing all around you and they lyrics all sound like gibberish except every 2 minutes you hear Singham! Singham! Singham!
Movie Farting Zombies,Last week we watched ‘Spookies’ and boy was it. It was a little hard to follow because of the low D’s and also because according to Chris it was two movies sandwiched together.
NO RECAP???
