IRON SKY dvd review

I kept passing this up on my daily visits to Blockbuster but I red some good reviews so I grabbed it and , yes , it was good! For the way the dvd cover looks , the wacky premise and the fact that it looks like a Asylum or Syfy movie IRON SKY is really good and one of the better movies I have gotten from Blockbuster.
    There are Nazis on the moon! They went there at the end of WW2 to regroup , strengthen their forces and come back and take us over. Sounds pretty stupid but IRON SKY has alot going for it.
1) The cgi is really good , it looks better than 96% of the direct to dvd cgi I have seen and almost as good as most theatrical releases if not better.
2) All the Nazis actually speak German and it adds so much weight and reality to a movie that is not at all grounded in reality.
3) It's funny.....really , it is!
4) Julia Dietze is awkwardly attractive and super sweet as Renate Richter! And look at the pic of her in the bikini!

ALL SUPER HEROES MUST DIE! dvd review

                                                
    Pounding out aggression turns into obssession! Hell yeah , I been listening to Metallica Master Of Puppets having a good time and I had a good time w/ A.S.M.D cos' I saw it with my good buddy Luciano who is also a HUGE comic book freak! And it was a good viewing experience becasue of that and I had read some bad reviews for A.S.M.D but since I am such a comic book fan I enjoyed it. A.S.M.D obviously had a low budget during filming and it does hinder the movie a little since they could not have alot of special efx but they did what they could and the movie is nowhere near as bad as some of the reviews I read made it out to be.
    Story is a badguy , James Remar , captures 4 superheroes and strips them of their superpowers and places them in a small town where they must face some deadly challenges to save innocent civilians and themselves and eventually face off with the villain.

 And I thought it was a good concept and alot better than some of the newer comics I've read. And even though A.S.M.D is not a real comic book I thought it was a good take on costumed adventurers and I liked it waaaay better then Alter Egos. I think the director Jason Trost actually likes comic books and cared about the heroes and tried to make a good movie with what he had and for the most part succeeded.  He had James Remar who is always good and a cool actor and had Lucas Till who played Havok in the X-Men:First Class movie.
    As me and Luciano watched it we both were really concerned with what their costumes looked like and they were decent and I was surprised at how violent it got. It's no PUNISHER: Warzone or even KICK-ASS but it had it's moments of bloodshed that hit hard enough to take it seriously.

Review of Alter Egos: Sort Of.

    ' All Superheroes Must Die' is a dvd I picked up at walmart cos' my good buddy Luciano recommended it. And because I am a crazy comic book nerd , more insane than a trekkie , or a Star Wars geek , or anime fan ; now those people are real assholes , or any other freak you can think of. I am very knowledgeable about comic books even though I don't really buy the new ones but I do have a couple of dumptrucks worth of comics and I get a ton more from the library and now we've had alot of comicbook movies come out. It's weird being 37 yrs old and seeing all these comic book movies coming out. Movies that I would have went apeshit over when I was 12 or 13 and the fact that they finally made a Wolverine movie does not excite as much as re-reading his first 4 issue limited series from the 80's. But I am still interested in these movies so I grabbed this "ALL SUPERHEROES MUST DIE' and then I went to Blockbuster and they had this movie called "ALTER EGOS'. Hmm. So I rented it. and it kind of sucked but it was kind of cool only because I love comix so much. Kevin Smith had a hand in this release but "ALTER EGOS' pissed me off a tiny bit because the Superheroes kind of sucked. Sure they did have powers and their costumes were not completely lame but the two in the movie , Refridgerator and C-Thru were kind of jerks and they were not tough or very heroic , resourceful , or cool. Guys like Snake Pliskin  or 'Mad' Max Rockatansky would have eaten these guys's lunch! "ALTER EGOS' was more a comedy and I knew that but at least make the heroes badass. They were shitty heroes , the one , C-Thru had a utility belt but never used anything out of it and the Fridge guy was a little weasle type guy. And when I think about it ; and I am speculating here ,I think that the director is not a comic book fan and has no respect for comic books and I think he saw THE DARK KNIGHT , THE WATCHMEN  , and KICK-ASS and thought that a comic book movie wouldbe a good/easy genre to make a movie in and push his own agenda. I could be wrong. Probably not though. But it got me to rent this movie .  I saw "ALL SUPERHEROES MUST DIE' and I have also seen 'SUPER' and "DEFENDOR" and I will review 'ALL SUPERHEROES MUST DIE" soon. But only see ALTER EGOS if you a super comic book fan like me and dislike it. -Arty

War Of The Dead dvd review

    Man , there is a shitload of zombie movies coming out and there are about 4 , maybe 5 , Nazi zombie movies out now. Seems like DEAD SNOW was the first most recent one and started the trend and I thought WAR OF THE DEAD was pretty good. On the cover it says , "Like an episode of Band Of Brothers with zombies." , and on the back of the dvd box it reads , "Mixes slices of The Dirty Dozen with Day Of The Dead." Well , which DAY OF THE DEAD? The Romero one or the re-make? But it's like they're just cross naming movies to make WAR OF THE DEAD sound like it's some fantastic war/zombie movie. Here , I got one , " It's Saving Private Ryan meets Night Of The Living Dead. The original Night Of The Living Dead!" So it made me think WAR OF THE DEAD was gonna suck really bad but I thought it was pretty exciting. The movie looks good too ,it looks like it could have come out in theaters and WAR OF THE DEAD fall more on the side of action than horror and the makers of this film did it pretty good. The zombies are fast movers and they do eat human flesh but it's not gory , not really ,  but that did not bother me ; I got into the movie and it was a fun ride.  But it doesn't try to be cheezy , funny ; it's not a B-movie , it tries to be a serious movie and I think it succeeds for the most part and I would watch it again and I might buy it if I could find it for $8.00 or less. And it has a cool dvd cover that the movie lives up to. _arty

OSOMBIE DVD Review

     Osama Bin Ladin is a zombie! I saw this movie on the shelf at Ballbuster and had to get it. But with so many zombie flix pouring onto  the horror scene like black blood from the eyesockets , mouth , and nostrils of a undead evil priest , I guess it was inevitable they would make a movie like this. Troma really missed the bus on this one didn't they?   But it's  not the grade B schlockfest I thought it could have been but for what it is it's still decent. They kill a fuckload of zombies and even though pretty much all of the zombie headhits , bodyhits , and full zombie explosions are done with cgi they didn't bother me that much cos' they looked pretty good for the most part. But you only see Bin Ladin in the very beginning and the very end and at the end he looks pretty freaky , scary , gross , and I could tell they used a animatronic puppet for his final scene. 
    So on one hand OSOMBIE is a competent action/zombie flick , and it does have some good humorous moments but it doesn't go for the throat with the Osama as a zombie thing or make fun of terrorists like you think it would. But if you like these movies you kind of have to see it just to say you saw it and confirm your own thoughts on it. I wish it woulda been like EVIL DEAD 2 , ZOMBIE 3 , or as offensive as STREET TRASH! What do you want out of a movie called OSOMBIE? *arty
