they made it a post-Apocalyptic Earth?
This makes me laugh, because...they aren't Asian because it's not set on Earth, see?
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

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.

The movie's production company is Nickelodeon.
Okay. So they probably had no say.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Damn, those are some pretty scathing reviews. I was hoping it would at least be cool and enjoyable as a movie, but perhaps I will not be rushing out to see it this weekend.

move out and draw fire
It's looking like it may be so bad I have to see it.
But not enough to give them money.
I suspect this is going on my list of movies that don't really exist.
