I couldn't watch that rape scene, it was too graphic, it made me feel like I would torture and kill that prick.
Monica Bellucci is an excellent actress, she was very good in Malèna (2000).
Good story set during WW2, Monica is very hot and gives a very good performance.

I'll definitely check it out.
Return to Nuke 'Em High: Volume 1. I was concerned about Troma because this was 2013, and it seemed veteran filmmakers of low budget stuff, in the 80s and some of the 90s, their films look great. Special effects and makeup, great. But then in the 2000s, they go for cheaper effects and animation, with CGI. For example, David Decoteau's Creepozoids featured some great work on the alien villain. Over 20 years later, 1313: Cougar Cult, the ladies' faces are photoshopped with tiger heads. Also funding must be a bit tougher, even though there's the advances of the internet, I remember hearing an interview with Lloyd Kaufman that his cast and crew would sleep in a church or something with him during filming. That's cheap.
To my surprise, the movie looked amazing. I did see Toxic Avenger 4, and it was in 2000, but the production value and effects were grounded in the 80s and 90s work they did. Here, the production value is great, 16:9 and HD, and the effects are amazing. No CG blood, makeup up the shitter and no CG superimposing, I think the car explosion was legit. At the same time, there's a couple instances where they used stock footage, which is funny, but I was curious about the car bit. It could've been just the cutting, because it came out of nowhere, and it didn't look like it shared the screen with the Cretin's ride. That car scene, the crash, and the explosion, had me laughing out loud big time. It was amazing!
They couldn't make fun of nuclear plants because it's not en vogue, they even said it themselves, vintage Troma self awareness and narration. They're the only narration in movies I love, and I generally don't like voiceover narration in movies. So they just make fun of organic foods, which got made like it was from a nuclear plant. The romance pairing that were central to the original trilogy went from heterosexual to homosexual, a lesbian one! That's awesome, and the young ladies are great for the roles. The thing with all the actors, if they were in a non-Troma film, they'd probably suck, or the movie would just be a bland indie film. Everyone hammed it up, Lloyd Kaufman's a character and his comic relief was straight out of cartoons from 50 years ago or so, and there was a return of various characters. Also the actors playing it, Dick Smith from the Nuke Em High sequels, Lisa Gayle and Leesa Rowland from them as well, Robert Prichard from the original, even the Cigarface man from The Toxic Avenger! They all came together in two short scenes, hilarious.
One of the best characters in the movie was Slater. Why? Because what they described him as. Everyone had some detailed descriptions, at least a sentence long. Slater? His description was simply "Black guy." Brilliant!
The movie is so damn awesome, that I was sad the movie ended. I haven't had that reaction in ages, so that should tell you something. I'm glad I saw it yesterday, as Volume 2 should be coming out soon, and I'm so impatient now. I want to watch the second movie, it left off on a shower scene with the Lauren character (she's hot, her girlfriend too). The makeup was incredible, and the CG bits worked very well actually, like the nuclear duck eyes. Great cameo by Lemmy from Motorhead. Everything was hilarious and entertaining, from start to bottom, the time flew by, I did not look at my clock once, I was all in this. Troma seems to get better over the years, even though their stuff in the 70s and 80s and 90s was high quality. I need to see Poultrygeist, Lloyd himself said it is the best Troma movie, and it's a modern one, so if it's half as good as this movie, it's guaranteed to be a classic then.
L.A. Bounty. [NOBABE]Sybil Danning[/NOBABE] shooting people left and right, driving a monster truck looking vehicle, going up against Wings Hauser, who is so awesome at playing a villain that talks to himself and has some wacky moments. It's pretty simple, it's a story Sybil made up, and it really shows because nobody probably would've been able to present her character, only her. Big sunglasses, long blond hair let down, no fashion stuff done on it. Only makeup is the light eyeliner. Leather biker jacket, denim jeans, long cowboy boots, a shotgun, very little dialogue, perfect. I've watched enough male heroes, superheroes, and badasses, to the point where I can't get behind a male lead so easily. They have to kick ass or impress with dialogue, otherwise most times, I don't give a shit about them. Because the badass woman role is so rare, I lap up any opportunity, and the woman doesn't even have to be a badass. Just be a survivor, be the main character.
[NOBABE]Sybil Danning[/NOBABE] shows why she's the queen of action, and this was well past her final nude scenes, so I don't need her topless to have a good time. The kills are great, the victims get launched big time by the shotgun. If there was a shotgun battle between her and Ian "Shotgun" Jones, she'd win all day. Fantastic, forget [NOBABE]Sarah Connor[/NOBABE], Ellen Ripley, I'm all about Ruger.
Of course with such a powerful heroine, there has to be a powerful villain. Wings Hauser stole the show in Vice Squad as Ramrod, and while the guy made it a point to do good guy roles, when he plays a villain, he's so damn great. Method acting? He really becomes a bad guy, and I think now seeing this and Vice Squad, he adds some minor things. His own touch with villains is for them to be a bit psycho. Ramrod was relentless, and this guy would be all calm, then shoot you in an interesting way, then smile and probably do more painting. If you fail him, you don't get a simple bullet to the head, you have to choose which gun is loaded, or have to get inside a crate. You never lose. So two strong opposing forces made for a great, albeit short film.
Only one flaw, the detective that stuck around the female victim. Every scene looked like he was smiling. Even when he got shot in the end, he pulled a big old smile when he collapsed. It's ridiculous.
Ruger, a unique character sure, but I drew the most comparisons with Clint Eastwood. The Man With No Name, there's parts where she's even smoking a similar cigar to that character. Not a lot of dialogue, is basically a bounty hunter, has their own moral code. She has a bit of a revenge tale though, and she doesn't kill in cold blood. Also Harry Callahan from Sudden Impact. There's a scene where he walks along a boardwalk I think, silhouette, smoke blowing behind him. Ruger had a very similar entrance, convincing though.
MGM HD is impressing me. I think they just pick whatever movie to show, and not care about whether or not it's mainstream. As long as they slap on the MGM logo and lion roar, it's fine. First I saw Robot Holocaust under that channel, and now this. Amazing action film, totally 80s, but unfortunately the fact it is 80s, doesn't help. Inasmuch as a badass female heroine. There was Ripley, then Connor in T2, but the badass female archetype is so barely touched in American cinema, and one has to rely on B-movie people to take over. For this movie, it seemed Sybil herself took over, she also helped produce the film. I need to see more Danning films, she's fast becoming my favorite actress. She's exactly the actress I would enjoy and class her alongside action people Arnie, Stallone, Statham, Chan, and not the only lady, there's [NOBABE]Cynthia Rothrock[/NOBABE].

IMAGINE
I have watched all of the Mission Impossible movies and look forward to this one too...Cant wait to see what type of Tech they come up with this time!
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) - Christopher McQuarrie
Minions and yes they are cute
Hobo With a Shotgun. Best movie to watch after PC building nightmares. No brain thrill ride, but my brain did function a bit. There's a couple parts that seemed out of nowhere, like the Abby character lying that she's a schoolteacher. It may be the insane amounts of gore that kept my attention away, but that was random, especially when I picked up Rutger Hauer saying she should put the gift flower on a classroom window. It was convenient to watch "Wanted: Dead or Alive" a few days before this, because the Hobo has to be Nick Randall. Both characters carry a shotgun, similar looking one, and the fact he was really good with it as soon as he grabbed it. At the end of WDOA, he was lying down, looking distraught because he'd been through a lot of shit. His boat house did blow up, but he had a huge warehouse like place that I guess he could've slept in. Hobo could be him after WDOA, downward spiral and all.
Not to mention the dialogue, not many, some one liners that scream 80s, and when he cares about someone, they end up dead. In this movie, Abby was near death a few times, she should've died on the neck sawing.
That's where the no-brain thing has to come in, everyone who survived, should've died, and everyone except Abby, did after a second or third attempt. The budget was $3 million USD, a lot of it had to go into the effects. It looks amazing, and maybe the filmmakers were inspired by Quentin Tarantino, or the movies and style that Tarantino himself is inspired by. The opening credits reminded me a lot of Inglorious Basterds, and 70s movie opening credit scenes. The music playing even sounded familiar. I was thinking Cannibal Holocaust, but it had to be something else.
On the effects, the gore's unbelievable, I don't think any CGI went into it. Very detailed, one bit had the Hobo hiding inside an opened up corpse, dick blowing off and the skin and blood leftover from that, Abby's arm in the end of the movie, head decapitations looked convincing. When it's very real looking, it's just plain hilarious, like the children burning in a schoolbus, the whole fight between Hobo and the taller, Tom Cruise looking Canuck (it's a Canadian film).
It's brilliant, haven't seen a movie that action packed and gory at the same time since Planet Terror.

how much ???
Hhhhhaaaaa, like the rolling eyes effect 2012i
Make that Jurassic World has made over 1.5 billion dollars worldwide so far and it has become the third highest grossing film of all Time so that is not bad going at all.
Universal has already approved a sequel due out late 2017 / 2018
It looks like "Avatar" and "Titanic" will stay as the top two in the All Time Box Office for another while .
I saw it twice, better the second time round than the first.

Just saw it, and loved it.

Foxcatcher. Pretty disturbing look at the lives of the idle rich. I still can't figure out if that late night practice session was a gay thing, though.
Justice League: Gods and Monsters (2015)
The death at the end had a loud sound to it. I don't know if it was the video file, or the movie's setting of clear winter field in the middle of nowhere, but that was piercing. Steve Carell was awesome, as were Ruffalo and Tatum.
Il giorno del Cobra (Day of the Cobra). Saw it only because [NOBABE]Sybil Danning's[/NOBABE] in it. Her role was a supporting kind, so I had to stomach the stuff that didn't have her. It was pretty good, and downright hilarious at times. Namely all the scenes with the main character's son. The baseball bit was so fucking cheesy, and since it's an Italian production, I think that scene was just trying to embrace Americana. Which is funny because the movie primarily takes place in Italy. [NOBABE]The kid[/NOBABE] dying is so funny, but it's so bad to laugh at it. Also a shocking twist with a certain woman who knows martial arts, I said out loud "oh come on!" Plot's simple, decent action, Danning had brief nudity, but you only see her back. I got a dubbed version, but looking at the lips, it seemed like everyone tried to speak English. I thought it was Italian dialogue with dubbing. The language barriers are there, and Danning and the white guy who hired the main character, were the only ones that spoke appropriate English.
I would rather end on talking about Samurai Cop. I got the Blu-Ray as a way to spend leftover cash from my PC rig parts purchasing. I saw it with lead man Matt Hannon's commentary. Hilarious, though I heard a lot of the stuff he said before through some interviews. Still, awesome, and of course watching the movie in its amazing glory. I'm still battling whether this or The Room is the best bad movie ever. Right now I'll go with the former. At least that movie's getting a sequel, while the guy behind the latter needs to get those other episodes of The Neighbors released on Hulu.
