'The Killer In Me'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
So, anyone else intrigued by Iron Sky?
Iron Sky’s Moon Nazis: Shock Troops in Nordic Genre-Film Invasion
AUSTIN, Texas — Iron Sky is a movie about moon Nazis. The hook is brilliant — they had us at “moon Nazis” — but given that outrageous premise, the resulting film could easily have wound up as B-movie nonsense. Surprisingly, Iron Sky succeeds as a wickedly fun adventure comedy.
And that Channing Tatum plays "dumber than a sack of hammers" brilliantly (if he's playing).
I'm guessing the critics haven't seen any of his other movies, in which he also played "dumber than a sack of hammers" quite convincingly...
The guys who made 21 Jump Street also made Clone High, so give them a little credit.
I don't think the trailers are funny, and I don't think I would even if they replaced Hill and Tatum with actors I thought were funny. It's a whole lot of "oh, okay?" and "what's the title for, again?" as far as I'm concerned.
Messing with Starsky & Hutch made much more sense to me, and I am a far bigger S&H fan than a 21 Jump St fan.
I didn't see the remake of Starsky and Hutch, because Ben Stiller annoys me most of the time, but I really wished it hadn't been a comedy. I don't know how you remake it and hold onto the original tone, but that's what I loved about the show.
I thought it was comedic in a way that was explicitly parodic of the original, as well as affectionate. I enjoyed it, and I was a devout Starsky fan back in the day. It felt like a variant on the franchise. Related, if not an extension.
I can't believe someone got paid to write this sentence in a movie review (or anywhere):
If you've seen the first 12 minutes of The FP, you know how the movie begins.
Now, I like IO9, but I do not like all of its authors. This one is particularly...pointless. But she's been asked to write a review of the Dance Dance Revolution (or whatever) movie, so she had a hard task ahead of her.
Still, she does a really lousy job.
If you've seen the first 12 minutes of The FP, you know how the movie begins.
Well you can't fault her accuracy.
That's like the ads for John Carter that proudly proclaimed that people were saying it's the first blockbuster of the year!
Shame about the rest of the article, though.
I'm confused by the middle row of this. First off, the reason the one sticks with me is not good, and second--what movie is that? I feel like I'm missing something huge.
