Movie review
In reply to Jacob Williams (msg # 78):
Ok, got 3of them for ya.
Muppets Most Wanted. If you like the Muppets and the previous film, it's good. I like the songs, on the whole, better in this one.
Snowpiercer. Wow. I really don't know what else to say about this movie except a small spoiler: Humanity is screwed. Human made ice age and the only human survivors are on board an excentric millionaire's train he re-engineered to be self-sustaining. The closer to the front, the more important you are and better you live, the people who were allowed on at the last live in the last car. Chris Evans decides to do something about it.
The third movie is truly a piece of art. I started to put Snowpiercer here, it is the more important film, but this one is on a level all its own. Yes, I am speaking of Sharknado 2: The Second One.
I kid you not, I sat and watched this travesty with my parents. It is so over the top ridiculous that I started to believe Elvis really is in a retirement home fighting monsters.
Mark McGrath, you know, from that signing group that gave us I Just Want to Fly is in it. The guy from Beverly Hills 90210, no, not the 2 who went on to have semi-careers, the one who had to be in 2 sharknado movies to get a paycheck.
Vivica A. Fox is in it, and she had some of the best(?) scenes. A shark is flying towards her, as she turns, the white dude has a sword in a scabbard. She grabs the hilt, and spins in slow motion, dissecting the shark. But wait. It wasn't so much slow motion as it was the actress just slowing down to match the animation speed of the shark. I s*** you not. Her clothes are being whipped by the wind in real time, but she's moving slowly.
That wasn't the only time they did so. Blond girl gets her hand bit off, jury rigs a circular saw on her hand. Why not a chain saw? Fiance's greedy ass took it first. The only thing I saw keeping this from being the new King of B-Movies, was the lack of Bruce Campbell. Hopefully he is now above such crap, but I doubt it.
The oddest part of the movie, to me, Mom and Dad loved it, is the crew from the Weather Channel are in the movie. Stefani Abrams, who they watch every morning, is there, Al Roker and Matt Lauer stab a shark to death with an umbrella.
New York mayor Bloomberg is in this thing. how in the name of Cthulu's sphincter did they get these people?
