I almost forgot just how much I enjoy Dead Alive, but tonight's airing on HD Net brought back all the over top disgusting fun.

Next up (without even changing the channel) - Swamp Thing!

This looks like it's going to be kickass!

Hmm, I don't know. It looks so much like the cut scenes from a video game, with even the human actors replaced by motion control lookalikes. (Albeit pretty good ones, though on the big screen, their pixel-y qualities will be amplified.) It looks slick and shiny, but I'd prefer something gritty, filmed on real locations with real horses, armor, weapons and so on. But then, I've been grouchy about this kind of thing for a long time now. Maybe the 3D will be entertaining. (I am a sucker for 3D)

A vaguely Beowulf-inspired video game movie? No thanks.

All I can say is watch the trailer. The graphics are incredibly lifelike.

I've seen the trailer at least a dozen times now and it just doesn't work for me. I'll wait and see what the word is when it opens but based on that sampling it is just creepy odd, not visually arresting in a good way.


Saw Balls of Fury and found it stupidly amusing. It helped to be able to see most (I believe) of the references to specific martial arts movies (beyond the obvious Enter the Dragon and Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story that provide the major narrative framework). But it was starting to wear thin by the end and I could have done with the homo-humor (the first batch was ok, it was the second at the end that I was annoyed by).

I saw Mr. Bean's Holiday and found it stupidly amusing.
