    -Discomfort comedy a la CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM except more "shocking". Simply didn't find it all that funny.

  • Iron Sky 2012

    ★½ Watched 23 Aug, 2012

    D+/36
    -Works overtime to be an intentionally bad/nutso cult movie--moon Nazis!--but lacks comedic chops. FX surprisingly decent, political commentary on the level of editorial page cartoons.

  • Total Recall 2012

    ★★★ Watched 31 Jul, 2012

    -It doesn't have much interest in the thematic questions the premise raises, but it succeeds on the modest aims of a self-contained action/sci-fi films go. The action scenes mostly work, particularly some chase scenes. (The elevator fight is botched by the director, though.) The production & art design is quite beautiful. I'm a bit amazed that Wiseman didn't shoot it with the monochrome look of the UNDERWORLD films.

    -Really, is there anything to say about this? Fast-paced product that at least isn't as glum as last one.
