God Bless Us, Everyone

God Bless America (2011)

This gritty black comedy from writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait (yeah, Zed from Police Academy) starts off with Frank having a shitty day.  His young daughter is a brat, and doesn’t want to see him since he’s boring and she would rather stay with his ex-wife and play video games. He also  just lost his job over a sexual harassment suit filed by a woman whom he thought he could have a future with, and on top of that, his doctor just told him he has a terminal brain tumor.  After spending sometime watching tv and realizing that society is going down the crapper anyway, he is just going to kill himself.  Right before he goes to pull the trigger, he notices some awful show.  It’s a reality show, where some spoiled little rich teenager is crying because her parents got her the wrong $60k car for her 16th birthday.  Frank pulls the gun out and decides that this particular bullet would be better spent on this selfish little bitch.

As he waits for her outside her school another young girl walks by and calls him a creepo. After class Frank attempts to set the brat’s car on fire with her in it, but when that fails, he just shoots her and calmly walks away. Frank feels he has done a service to the world and he can go die now, but is interrupted from killing himself again by the girl he met at the school – Roxy.  Strangely enough, this girl feels the same way about the country as Frank, and they decide to team up: they are going to kill the country’s assholes together as some sort of father/daughter execution squad. So if you talk in a movie, take up two parking spots or make fun of someone, you had better watch your back, because Frank and Roxy are on the hunt.

Alex’s Thoughts: Based on the topic, a man and a teenage girl killing random people, this isn’t a movie for everyone.  It is going to offend a lot of people. But… if you take it for what it is, a satire on today’s America, you might enjoy it. I thought it was a good movie, but I’m extremely liberal and not some uptight square; so your mileage may very.  Yes it is a disturbing subject matter, but I think it’s all in fun, and I really enjoyed the acting and the story.  If you take out the killing, you are still left with some very strong views on today’s average Joe, and the fact they most people are dumb shits (but not you fine readers, you are the cat’s pajamas).  People are so caught up by what celebrities and reality show stars are doing that they forget to live their own lives, and the main protagonists in this flick are here to remind us that a lot of people are doing that, and you need to shut off the TV for ten minutes a just step outside a take a look around. Also that little girl has an absolutely filthy mouth, and nothing makes me happier that kids cussing.  Alex Rates This Movie 8/10

Tim’s Thoughts: I go back and forth on this movie, there are times when I think I really like it, and then there are times were it irritates the crap out of me. Like a Micheal Moore movie, it has a very specific agenda, and it’s mostly to shock. That’s fine, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty it gets damn near preachy, (again Micheal Moore.) Not all of this is bad, and there are scenes I find hilarious because they are so wrong, but I think John Waters has ruined movies like this for me, just watch some of his earlier movies, and you will see what I mean. Easily some of the most uncomfortable stuff ever committed to film, and also obscenely funny, (see Pink Flamingos,) and the more I think about it the more I remember that Cecil B. Demented is similar to this, and funnier. Anyways, now I will get off MY soapbox, if you don’t want to, (or can’t stomach) sit through all the Water’s movies, then this will suffice, but for me, he did it first and better, Bobcat’s outing here is enough to get me to watch his other movies, and that’s saying something. Tim Rates This Movie 6/10

“Oh, I get it, and I am offended. Not because I’ve got a problem with bitter, predictable, whiny, millionaire disk jockeys complaining about celebrities or how tough their life is, while I live in an apartment with paper-thin walls next to a couple of Neanderthals who, instead of a baby, decided to give birth to some kind of nocturnal civil defense air-raid siren that goes off every fuckin’ night like it’s Pearl Harbor. I’m not offended that they act like it’s my responsibility to protect their rights to pick on the weak like pack animals, or that we’re supposed to support their freedom of speech when they don’t give a fuck about yours or mine.”

Bad Ass Mofo!

Bad Ass (2012)

Frank Vega (Danny Trejo) has had sort of a shitty life: after spending seven years deep in the shit in Vietnam, he returns to find that his girlfriend already has a new family of her own, and that an injury he received in the war prevents him from becoming a cop. Frank has spent the last forty years manning a hot dog cart, and really has nothing to show for it.  One day, while on a bus, he sees some skinhead punks messing with an old man.  After trying peacefully to get them to stop, he has to resort to kicking their asses.  This whole thing is caught on video, and before you know it, Frank is a YouTube sensation!  Now everyone knows his name and he’s a local hero and celebrity whom everyone calls ‘Bad Ass’.

After his mother passes, Frank and an old Army buddy movie into his mom’s place, which isn’t in the best neighborhood.  This friend gives Frank a flash drive to hold on to for safe keeping, and it’s a good thing, because the guy is killed for it 5 minutes later by some thugs.  Upset at the speed the police department is working, Frank checks out the crime scene himself; he finds a bullet casing and a necklace with a locket that the police somehow missed in the 4 square foot crime scene. He goes to a pawn shop to get the bullet identified, and the clerk just happens to know the girl in the locket. That girl happens to know where the guy whose locket it is plays b-ball, and the guys there happen to know someone who knows something else.  This goes on and on for a while in a very linier path until he meets up with one of the shooters. After forcing his hand into a garbage disposal, the guy spills the beans.

It seems the mayor (Ron Perlman) is working with a crime boss to make a neighborhood so violent that everyone moves out, so then they can move in and buy the land which has oil on it.  Bad Ass tracks down the crime boss who goes by the name of Panther.  This whole movie Frank kicks every guy’s ass he comes across, but this old fat man gets the better of him.  Frank escapes and a low-speed bus chase ensues with the pair eventually fighting in Frank’s front yard.  He beats this guy down and saves the hood from the evil mayor and even lands the hot black chick that lives next door. Right on, Frank!

Alex’s Thoughts: This movie should have been much more fun, but it was just boring.  The linier storyline was way too predictable, and there were no surprises.  It was sort of like Rumble in the Bronx meets Hobo with a Shotgun, but with very little going for it.  Again it seems like Trejo and Perlman will say yes to anyone who hands them a script and a check, and that is just sort of sad in a way.  I think Trejo has some clause in his contract that says he needs to see boobs on set at least once, because there is always a scene with him alone in a room with a topless chick.  Good for you, you old ass butt kicking hombre.  Alex Rates This Movie 4/10

Tim’s Thoughts: This should be called, “I’d rather be watching Machete”, because that’s all I was thinking the entire time I had this on. It’s loosely based on a true story and it is equally loose with plausibility. It’s too convenient, and full of tropes, barely anything original or interesting throughout the entire movie. It’s also hard to take Danny Trejo serious as he is wearing a fanny pack the entire time. Meh, kind of  a waste of time. Tim Rates This Movie 3/10

Profiting From The Dead

Burke & Hare (2010)

Times are tough in Edinburgh Scotland in the mid-19th century.  Espically for the director of one of the country’s top anatomy colleges.  The head of one of the other medical schools has greased the wheels of the goverment, and now he gets all of the fresh bodies in town.  Now the one head is in desperate need of some corpses, it’s a good thing that two job-less losers need to make some quick schllings.  After hearing about the body shortage at the pub, Burke (Simon Pegg) and his partner Hare (Andy Serkis) return to their boarding house to find a fresh stiff; and a new occupation is born!  Too bad there aren’t many dead bodies just lying around, so they have to take some initiative and make a few.

After committing a few murders, these two are rolling in the pounds; Hare is able to make his drunkard wife happy again, while Burke is able to finance a play for a former prostitute he loves.   It isn’t long before people are on to their murder for profit gig. Everyone wants a cut or wants to put them in the clink.  These guys are now on the run from a bumbling militia and one of them has to take the fall for their crimes.  Who will it be, and will Burke ever get some play from that prude hooker?  Cameos from Christopher Lee and Tim Curry cap off this slap-stick comedy directed by long-absent John Landis.

Alex’s Thoughts: Once you figure out that this this is a comedy, it goes a lot smoother.  At first you can’t really tell, but it sets in to a good pace after about 15 minutes.  It has Simon Pegg, so that is all you really need to know. There are some good laughs throughout. Being based on true story it is hard to believe that a lot of this stuff really happened, but apparently it did.  It’s a fun watch and goes by really quickly, which is always a sign of a good flick.  Alex Rates This Movie 7/10

Tim’s Thoughts: It’s nice when a director that used to be great can turn out a little gem of a movie. Also good to see Serkis get to use his own face for a change, you may know him as Golem, or King Kong, but you should give his Hare a look. Once I caught on that this movie is filled with slap-stick I was able to sit back and enjoy it. Lots of funny characters populate this under appreciated film, and I hope our little blog gets just one or two people to see it, and recommend it. Tim Rates This Movie: 8/10

What’s Worse Than Friday The 13th?

August 20, 2012

Saturday the 14th (1981)

A family has inherited an old spooky house, just as a vampire couple was all set to buy it from a realtor.  The vampires don’t want the house as much as they want an old book that is somewhere inside.  The book is said to release evil upon the world on the next Saturday the 14th once opened.  Although the vampires don’t get the book, the young boy of the family does; and as he flips through the pages, each picture of a different monster disappears. Where could they have gone?  You knows them shits are now in the house! Strange things start to happen, and the monsters begin to terrorize the kids, with the parents thinking that are just being foolish and miss their old home.  After discovering a swarm of bats in the attic, they call an exterminator.  Who should work for the extermination company other that famed monster hunter Van Helsing! He finds out about the evil book and on the eve of Saturday the 14th the family is having a party,  the monsters decide to show up and get down too.  It turns out Van Helsing is a monster as well and although he makes a play for the book for his own evil intentions, he and the other monsters get sucked back in.

Alex’s Thoughts: I remember watching this as a kid and even then I was thinking it was odd. Twenty-five years later? Still strange as hell.  While it is obviously a comedy there are some scary parts for kids and just some parts , like all of the monsters eating at the dining room table, where you are just like ‘what the hell is this’?  There other parts where you’re just uncomfortable as hell, due to some obvious under-age nudity.  I can’t figure out the target audience is, but I don’t think it’s me.  The only thing I really like about it is Jeffery Tambor as the vampire, other than that it is just too strange.  Alex Rates This Movie 3/10

Tim’s Thoughts: I couldn’t remember if I had seen this before, turns out I may never know, because if I had, I completely blocked it out of my memory. This is not just terrible, to quote Sir Charles Barkley, “It’s Turrible!” Bad, bad, bad, and incoherent to boot. Skip this unless you are getting drunk with our friends and want to see a bad movie with no swearing, little gore, and only the slightest tease of nudity. Tim Rates This Movie 2/10

Go Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200

Under the Boardwalk: The MONOPOLY Story (2010)

Ah Monopoly, who hasn’t enjoyed sitting around the dining room table and playing with your family? Who hasn’t called their own mother a ‘filthy whore’ for buying the only green property you don’t own, or threatened to cut off your cousin’s hand if you catch him stealing money from the bank again?  Monopoly has been bringing families together (and possibly separating a few here and there) for almost 80 years, and is truly America’s favorite board game.  This documentary takes us through the competitive US Monopoly season of 2009.  That’s right, we said ‘competitive’.  There are professional players out there who covet the title of US champion and the $20k that goes along with it.  We get to meet some of the past champions and those that aspire to be at the top of the gaming world.  The players range from nerdy math teachers, average Joes, 40-year old virgins to scuzzy lawyers.  This film chronicles their journey from the national compition all the way to the world championships in Vegas, where the twenty-eight best Monopoly players on planet Earth will trade properties, build hotels and maybe spend a little time in jail in hopes of a huge pay day.

In addition to the tourney, we also get a look at the history of the game - its humble beginnings as a teaching tool against capitalism, to the Atlantic City man who altered it to make it a game exactly the opposite of its original intent.  We get to see how a simple board game has influenced popular culture over the past decades as well as some fanatic collectors who have decorated their homes in monopoly themes and who own dozens of versions of the game.  What started as a way to pass the time in the depths of the Great Depression has become an enduring past time in hundreds of countries around the world; and in the end is just a good time to be spent with friends and family… except Aunt Shannon. We don’t care if you usually get extra money for landing on Free Parking when you play at home.  You’ll get nothing and like it at my house. We play street rules here, skank!

Alex’s Thoughts: First off, I’d just like to say eff that fat lawyer in this movie; he plays against little kids and accuses everyone of cheating.  You, sir, are a dickhole. The best part of this movies was watching you come in dead-last in the national tournament.  Now then, where were we?  It is a movie about a board game, and not a fancy big-budget movie like Battleship, but a film made by the fans for the general public.  First off, if you don’t like the game, you will mostly certainly not like the movie. Secondly, you really need to like the game to like the movie.  There are parts about strategy and probability and other very game specific stuff that might not interest the casual fan.  Some documentary fans might get a kick out of it, I did, but the majority of people would probably have more fun peeling the McDonald’s monopoly game pieces off of their hash browns. Alex Rates This Movie 6.5/10 

Tim’s Thoughts: First of all, I want to thank my Stepmom for teaching me how to be good at Monopoly, and I have to thank my sister for helping me be absolutely ruthless. King of Kong has ruined a lot of documentaries for me, that had a compelling hero, a villain, and an epic story that was to strange to be made up. This suffers from a complete lack of any of these characters. The one likable guy comes up a bit short, and I was forced to rely on enjoying the history of the game and it’s evolution instead of getting attached to the players. Except for the guy with a framed picture of him and his cat, that was amazing. All in all, it’s passable, and not a bad watch by any means, but it certainly isn’t as good or captivating as some. Tim Rates This Movie 6/10

2012 Wizard World Chicago Comic Con Review

Filed under: Nerdgasm, Site News — Leave a comment
August 13, 2012

We had intended to live blog the con on Saturday, but due to a lack of reliable wifi, we are just going to due a  show wrap-up.

I woke up early Saturday morning to a slight drizzle and a unsesonably cold temperature.  The temperature outside wasn’t a problem because I had a nice warm feeling inside:  the morning before Chicago Comic Con is one of my favorite days of the year - a day that I wake up and just know… it’s going to be a great day.  Accompanying Tim and me, were our friends Matt, Shaun and Jon; with much anticipation, we set off on the two-hour trek to Chicago from South Bend.  Despite going there the past four yours, I got them lost twice, but we arrived safe and sound.  Tim and I were lucky enough to get press credentials, so we got early access to the show floor, and were pleasantly surprised. The show floor we had become accustomed to has changed drastically, and for the better.  What were once narrow aisles were now wide enough to accommodate the attendees with little or no congestion, just the occasional stoppage for those taking pictures with the many cosplayers on-hand. We also noticed that the queues from the celebrity autograph and pictures lines were nicely laid out and well established, where in the past they were anything but.  The space used in the hall was much larger with nice bright signage, so there was a bit better atmosphere. I can’t help but think that this is a result of the other comic convention held in Chicago, C2E2, and a lot of the attention that receives.  Compition almost always make the other guy step it up, and I think that was the case here, and it worked out well.

The floor quickly filled up once the general public was admitted.  Most of the fans poured in with big smiles on their faces, trying to take it all in and deciding where to go first.  With all of the celebs, vendors, cosplayers and artists on-hand the whole thing may be overwhelming for first time guests. It wasn’t long before lines started forming for the big name stars signing autographs – Scott Bacula, Dean Cain, William Shatner, Dean Stockwell, Amy Acker… but no line could compare to that of Stan Lee.  The man is a hero to all fanboys, and those waiting in his queue were probably the most excited people I saw there. They knew they were about to meet a legend, and were pumped for the experience.  There were many other celebs there: from the cast of the Boondock Saints (Norman Reedus called out a killer Michonne cosplayer from across the aisle and that made her day), some WWE wrestlers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer actors, Doug Jones, Kevin Sorbo. Although late to the con, Bruce Campbell also made an appearance!

Once the show floor closed at 7pm, the second half of our day commences – the post-con party at the event hotel.  The past few years this has included a DJ, dancing and mingling with celebrities. This year it included singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to the queen nerd, Adrianne Curry, who was in attendance.  Our friends Erin and Jessie joined our group, and we enjoyed some beverages and danced until well after midnight.  I, for one, am not big on dancing, but when you are in an enviroment like Comic Con, where everyone is sort of nerdy in their own way, no one is there to judge, so everyone really cuts loose. I don’t know where else you can get down with a Stormtrooper and Vince Clortho Keymaster of Gozer on the same dance floor!  That event wrapped up, much to everyone’s disappointment, but soon the party moved upstairs to the hotel bar, where you could find Buffy’s Amber Benson and former wrestler Kevin Nash enjoying their respective evenings.  We met some interesting people that night, and enjoyed some time with friends old and new.

Unfortunately after only a few hours of sleep we were headed back home. But mornings in the hotel lobby is an experience all in its own. With celebrities going from the hotel to the convention center, or just relaxing with a cup of coffee and talking to fans before their busy day at their tables.  As Tim and I exited the elevation we exchanged ‘Good mornings’ with Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett) and Rocco from Boondock Saints.  We saw Lou Ferrigno and his multiple egg white omelettes, the Walking Dead’s Jon Bernthal and True Blood’s Sam Trammell along with some others. Everyone at the con and hotel was great, and it made for a perfect weekend.  Now it’s back to the real world and counting the days until next years show (361 as of this writing).

Feeling Frail?

Frailty (2001)

Late one night, a FBI Agent is called in to meet someone who claims to have information on a case he’s working on, his name is Fenton (Matthew McConaughey) and he has a story he’d like to share.  Fenton goes on to tell the agent a tale that will fill him with doubt, but also curiosity: Fenton grew up in a small Texas town with his dad (Bill Paxton) and his younger brother, Adam.  They lived a simple, yet happy life together.  All of that changes one night, when their dad burst into their room with something important to tell them.  An angel had just visited him, and told them they were to do God’s work here on Earth.  That work: destroying demons.  Soon God would direct the dad to the three weapons they would use, and also provide them a list of seven names of humans who were really demons.

Fenton thinks this is all a little far fetched, and that his dad is going crazy; all this will probably just blow over.  That is until his dad comes home with a huge pipe, a pair of gloves and a scary axe, but also a list of names.  He wastes no time, and before you know it there is a scared woman ties up in their shed.  Fenton’s dad removes his gloves to touch the woman to see her sins, Adam also says he can see them as well, but Fenton is terrified.  The axe makes short work of the lady, and they bury her in a rose garden next door.  This goes on several times before Fenton can’t take it anymore and tries to tell the cops.  It doesn’t go well for either of them, as the sheriff is murdered and Fenton is locked in a newly constructed dungeon for a few weeks.

Fenton apparently comes around, and agrees to help the family. They have a new demon to kill, and dad is going to let Fenton do it, but the axe winds up in dad’s gut.  Adam is shocked, but finishes off the guy tied up on the floor himself. Adam insists they must continue to do the Lord’s work… The FBI agent thinks this is all a bunch of hooey of course, but agrees to go see this rose garden where dozens of people are buried.  It’s there that the agent must come to terms with his past and pay for his sins.

Alex’s Thoughts: This was my first viewing of Frailty, and while I found it to be somewhat predictable, I still enjoyed it.  While the story itself was fine, what really made it for me was the acting from the kids who played Fenton and Adam, Fenton especially.  Bill Paxton was also pretty good, but a little too monotone throughout for me, but I know that’s just how he is.  This was his directorial debut, and I thought he did a pretty good job with the story, and capturing the feel of the late seventies during the flashbacks.  I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a suspenseful film.  Alex Rates This Movie 7/10

Tim’s Thoughts: I was a fan of this movie when it came out, and I think it has aged well. If you haven’t seen it, it has an interesting ending, and if you have, it’s fun to try and pick up anything you may have missed. I would have liked it a bit more if only they had left it a smidge more ambiguous, but by no means is it ruined. I really enjoy watching guys you think can’t act, really do well in a role, and McConaughey  does an excellent job. I strongly recommend this, and will watch it again before too long. Tim Rates This Movie 9/10

Chicago Comic Con 2012 Preview

Filed under: Nerdgasm, Site News — Leave a comment
August 6, 2012

It’s the magical time of year again. No, not Ramadan or the half-price beef sale at Capt. Steve’s House of Meat. It’s time for Chicago Comic Con (aka Wizard World Chicago)!  This will be our 5th straight year of attending, and our first as credentialed members of the media elite.  This year again finds us anxious to people watch, leer at A-list celebrities, and try to avoid looking at that D-lister who’s fallen on hard times; for example that time we saw The Honky Tonk man looking sad outside and trying to bum a smoke off some dude in a Galactus shirt.  Some of the stars we’re looking forward to seeing this year are Scott Bakula, Bruce Campbell, Norman Reedus, Colin Ferguson AND… Stan “The Man” Lee!   Hopefully these folks won’t be sheltered behind a curtain like the Great and Powerful Oz, or surrounded by a group of overweight and asthmatic bodyguards so we can catch a glimpse.  There are few things for us fanboys as great as getting to see that TV or movie star you love, right in front of you in the living flesh. The stars in attendance range for Star Trek captains, to WWE wrestlers and even one of the Guidos from Jersey Shore.  With comics, toys and other pop culture items, there is bound to be something that will interest almost anyone.

We’re only planning on being there for one day, so trying to squeeze all the star-gazing, the vendors, artist alley and a panel or two is going to be a challenge.  There is a lot to do there, and a true fanboy would probably want to spend at least two days there.  We’re planning on live-blogging our events at the con, and the craziness that usually follows in the hotel lobby and the infamous Red Bar later that night an into the early morning hours.  If you’re not burnt out after all the superhero movies and hype this summer, and need more comics and popular culture, check it out.

Wizard World Chicago is August 9th – 12th at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.  Their website is here.

Lucky Number 13

Thir13en Ghosts (2001)

Cyrus Kriticos is an avid collector of many strange things. When he dies suddenly, his estranged nephew Arthur (Tony Shalhoub) inherits his belongings, which include a strange glass house.  Arthur’s wife was killed a few years ago in a fire, so now it is just his young son, daughter (Shannon Elizabeth) and a sassy black nanny.  As the group approached their new digs with the lawyer, they notice a power guy trying to get in.  Everyone is impressed by the house and as the power guy goes to check on the basement, we see that he is actually a physic medium who used to work for Cyrus who helped him complete one of his collections – ghosts.  G-g-g-g-g-ghosts?

Arthur’s crazy ass uncle has trapped 12 ghosts in containment boxes in the basement.  Each ghost represents on of the 12 signs of the black zodiac, and all of the ghosts except for one would take pleasure is killing everyone on the house.  That one nice ghost?  That would be the spirit of Arthur’s dead wife.  Cyrus is actually still alive, and has lured them there to put the kids in danger and to have Arthur kill himself to save them, because he needs the house to create a ghost out of love.  Once that happens, Cyrus will have the power to see the future. Yeah, we thought that was dumb too.  The lawyer accidentally sets the house-machine in motion, releasing one creepy ghost at a time.  The group must evade these horrible ghouls and destroy the machine that runs the house in order to escape.

Alex’s Thoughts: This could have been a really good/scary movie if it was done right.  If it had been re-cast with good actors (I’m looking at you Matthew Lillard, you hack), and the tone was darker, there would be some real possibilities for something great.  Instead we get a movie that is neither scary nor good, it’s just sort of there and provides nothing enjoyable.  Really the only fun thing is one of the extras on the DVD gives you background stories on all of the ghosts in their human form (this is also on IMDB and worth a read).  Sadly this is the most enjoyable thing on the disc.  It was a missed opportunity, but maybe someday someone will come along and do it right.  Alex Rates This Movie 5/10

Tim’s Thoughts: Lame to the 13th power, this is such a wasted opportunity. None of the cast is any good, the only thing interesting about this movie is the ghosts themselves, but the story is so awful and absurd that even that loses traction quickly.  I saw this in the theater and hated it, my feelings have not changed watching it again at home. These kind of movies piss me off, as they aren’t even fun, just drivel. Tim Rates This Movie 1/10
