Week 2

This weeks movies   Fistful of Quarters : the king of kong, Rocket Science, Storm Warning

Fistful of Quarters

One word...awesome.  Everyone should watch this film.  Reason 1- intense gameplay of Donkey Kong, 2- the incredible lack of ethics in the gameplaying community, 3- to root for the hero, 4- and most important, Billy Mitchell is the greatest real life character/villain ever seen by these eyes.  Take every unscrupulous treacherous person you've ever met and wanted to kill.  Then make them really good at something and ungodly confident.  Now give this person friends with power.  Lastly terrible fashion sense and long shiny black hair.  It is fair to say that if Billy Mitchell was japanese he would be  The Shredder (without muscles).

Storm Warning

Surprisingly entertaining addition to the Dimension Extreme catalogue.  A gorier version of what Wolf Creek could have been.  Some overly long dialogue may take away from the movie, but once the action picks up it is worth it.

Rocket Science

An entertaining indie flick similar to Thumbsucker.  Entertaining and a fun story, however not as phenomenal as it could have been.

Week 1

Ok so this week I rented Saw 4, The Comebacks, and Right At Your Door.

Saw 4

Ok so I saw this in theaters so it wasn't a shocking watch or anything.  However the DVD viewing experience was more enjoyable.  Mainly because of the ability to really nitpick and detail anything that tied in the previous 3 films.  The first trap scene had more hammers to the face, so that was delicious.  However the DVD cut did seem to ruin a powerful shot of the ending, shortening a powerful shot that changes the outlook of the movie.  This does not ruin the overall film though thankfully.  Story wise, after completely digested the movie works well and builds excitement for the 5th installment this October.  If nothing else it will cause fans of the franchise to review 3 and 4 over and over just to get the timelines and connections completely right.  Overall a more than acceptable 4th film in a series that is based on keeping the story tight to support the gore, and a genre not known for amazing late series films.  i.e. Good= NOES4 dream master or Ft13:4 Final Chapter not Leprechaun:4 Leprechaun in Space

The Comebacks

Short review.  For one I haven't enjoyed parody movies since Scary Movie 1-2 or Not Another Teen Movie, and even those can be hard to enjoy.  This movie deserves a little credit for using slightly more intelligent jokes than say Epic Movie or Date Movie or any of that literal shit.  I still however would recommend never seeing it.  If you must watch this film, watch it with the dumbest and most simple minded friends you have (we all have them).  At least then when they enjoy the film you can laugh at their absurd happiness. 

Right at Your Door

Right at your Door was a surprisingly good independent terror flick.  Basically Los Angeles is attacked with dirty bombs.  The main character is home in the suburbs while his wife is in the city during the attack.  He cannot get into the city and is stuck in his house because the air is toxic.  The movie can be quiet and slow at parts, seemingly to give the viewer a similar sense of panic and unsureness along with the characters.  There have been complaints about the ending, but personally i liked it.  Overall the movie is worth watching, but not really a group experience.  Best served as an interesting time kill.
