I very much appreciate that people made a movie like this with all itsold-school costumes and effects. And this part really works and is whythe trailer immediately appealed to me. But ultimately andunfortunately, this is a lot of silly nonsense that even makes its justabout 70 minutes runtime seem long.
This film is an audio-visual delicacy. If you’re into Metal, you are not only my friend, but I’m sure, you too will enjoy this – if purely on the visual level. But it’s hard to not dig the soundtrack, either. I would guess this is great on drugs. Or unbearably terrifying.
A lot of scenes are reminiscent of David Lynch’s style. The story however is not: it is very straight forward, which I found surprising given all the wild trippy visuals.
The acting is overall great, and I indeed enjoyed Nic Cage’s performance a lot. The action and fight scenes are great, too. It’s funny, but also serious. However, there’s no focus on the latter, I’d say.
It’s certainly a unique experience. And one I could experience again!
(Oh my god, the Cheddar Gobblin!!!)
This is quite the spectacle! A beautiful, violent, serious, funny, well choreographed and well acted “me too” middle-age spectacle. The three different perspectives of the same plot is the kind of thing I really enjoy. No exception here. The only thing we found irritating occasionally was the language: both the actors’ accents as well as the words seemed way too modern. But that shouldn’t stop one from enjoying this a whole lot!

Here are a few shaky POV rallies of tennis I played with Jenni a few weeks back.
And next time, I’ll make sure I’ll wipe my lens in between.
This site now has a /feeds page, which lists all the RSS/Atom feeds.
Oh dear. The fifth movie that day. I was actually looking forward tothis as I was keen to watch another Sam-Raimi-Bruce-Campbell movie. Thiscertainly has some good scenes! But overall I found the jokes, dialogueand effects overly silly. I felt like this was more about the specialeffects than anything else. And those felt incredibly dated. Nah, sorry,didn’t like it much this time around.
The fourth film we watched back-to-back. It was kinda hard taking thisseriously after having watched Hot Shots 2, which basically parodiesevery second scene of Rambo 2. This was still ok, I guess, but I wasn’tthat attentive any more and half-missed the ending.
With six others in a hut in the mountains and it’s raining all Sunday:what do you do? We just kept watching silly movies. And this one isindeed meant to be, voluntarily! I remembered quite a few scenes, sothis was a little nostalgic. I think this still has nice ideas, wellexecuted. But yeah, it’s super silly.
I was primed with that this is basically the same movie as Bloodsport.And I agree. But nothing could prepare me for that hilarious dancingscene!
Usually not really my cup of tea, but I watched this with six friendswho know this in and out. And this made this special, as I not only gotto watch this fabulously cheesy movie, I also was enlightened by theirexpert commentary.
This had some fun characters, corny music, oh-my-god-the-clothes!!, anantagonist that’s indeed super evil (in a total unironic good way); andyeah: splits!
Based on a true story!
I had a great time.

The text for movie posts is now hidden at first, if it potentially contains spoilers (I simply used the <details> element for this). This also applies to the Atom feeds (for movies and for everything). The text is also no longer written in the description and og:description meta tags. All of this should make it harder to accidentally get spoiled.
