I admit that it's not the best movie I've seen and it's a bit too long but I still liked it because of Seth's sense of humor and TED himself Wink

Last weeks viewing......

Screaming in High Heels; the rise and fall of the scream queen era (2011)
Story of the trash/slash/screamer straight to video movies of the 80's which were basically the B-movies of that period told by the three most famous women who starred in them. Great story of the "B-queens" what became of them and how the genre died and the scream queens themselves are absolutely charming.

Hedwig and the Angry inch (2001)
East Berlin transexual rocker Hedwig and his band tour the US playing crap venues as he tells his story of how he became what he is. Original and quirky, great little movie.

I just watched Death Race, frigging awesome through the home theater near blew me head off, I love action flicks that don't piss fart around, just action, no drama bullshit, no crying, no love scenes, no sex scenes, just complete and utter action no matter how crap the story is, and the story was pretty good anyway.

Cabin In The Woods, 80 minutes of boredom then a decent 10 minute finale !

The Avengers, worth it kust to see/hear the Hulk say "Puny God", pick Loki up by his feet and use him as a hammer, quality.

I thought Lou Ferrigno lent his voice for that. Turns out it was a mixture of both Ferrigno and Ruffalo.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)

First 1/3 of the movie is pretty cool.
Beyond that, it's just boring .

Fade to Black (1980)

A tour de force for a young Dennis Christopher in this easy going thriller. He plays a young man who is obsessed with classic old movies, an obsession that goes into overdrive when he snaps after his life takes a downward spiral.

All the folk that wronged or upset him he kills off by transforming himself into famous movie characters from various famous films eg. 'Dracula' 'The Mummy' 'Hopalong Cassidy' and 'Cody Jarret' from the Cagney film 'White Heat'. Along the way is good old Tim Thomerson as a criminal psychologist trying to help 'Binford'.

I say easy going thriller as Christopher is a very likable character in this film. His innocent looks and love of classic cinema is really quite fun to watch, the sequences where he transforms into various characters are really good too, charming really. The film isn't scary or horrific in any way, its very tame and almost like an extended episode of 'Quantum Leap' haha.

During the film there are the odd inserts from various old black n white films to show or mirror what's going on inside 'Binfords' mind, just like in the comedy 'Dream On'. None of murders actually involve any large amounts of blood or gore, its all done quite tastefully with cut aways and leaving it to your imagination. In fact almost all of the murders are merely accidents that Christopher's character brings on, but his lust for revenge gets the better of him near the end.

Great little thriller in a nice 'Murder She Wrote' type of way with some really nice makeup/prosthetics work. Look out for an early role by Mickey Rourke.

Does exactly what it says on the tin, great movie, the only way it could be improved is by getting free popcorn hand fed to you by Angelina Jolie as you watched the movie. Smile

Starsky & Hutch (2004)

Always thought it was kinda funny that two undercover cops drive around in a souped up Gran Torino with a custom paint job. What's that noise? oh its the fuzz in their muscle car.

The first parody of one of the two biggest TV shows with cool cars, the other being 'The Dukes of Hazzard'. Its nothing too outrageously original overall, a simple drug kingpin needs to go down and the cool duo are on the case.

Its not really about the plot though, this film is just about the humour and having a good time. Like many Stiller films its a sly sneaky spoof like comedy which is light hearted but not overkill with silly jokes. The casting of Stiller and Wilson is really good as they both fit the roles just perfectly, Stiller actually looking very similar to Glaser. Both guys take to the characters like ducks to water and really make the whole film very likeable and watchable.

Other casting includes 'frat pack' members Ferrell and Vaughn, both of whom raise the film giving nice performances. Loving Ferrell and his slightly creepy 'Big Earl' character. So the cast is great and really holds the film together but then I must give big kudos to the look of the film. Set in the 70's and to be honest you could easily think it really was. Very impressed at everything from all the cars driving around, street trash including those darn pesky car chase sequence cardboard boxes, the costumes, hair styles and even the way they used the cameras to get all those classic 70's TV show angles and zooms. They did tend to cram in almost every cliched 70's tune they could muster though, didn't need that, we get the idea.

Of course they do cater for the car porn folk out there, plenty of Torino action naturally, maybe too much?. Gotta expect that I guess, it is a nice looking and sounding car and virtually a character in its own right.

I think they went the right way with this as a serious attempt would have been laughable and I'm glad they didn't reduce the concept to childish smut. Its a by the books action comedy flick, but the fact its a neat little parody of a classic cop show which has actually been well thought out makes this worth your time in my view.

A little snippet here that shows the American muscle car isn't really what you'd think hehe. They look good yes and have HUGE engines with tonnes of BHP but at the end of the day they are still slow bricks I'm afraid.
