Beyond the Grave
Iron Sky
Jason: Take Stephen King's The Dark Tower
series, mix in some Night of the Living Dead and toss in a nod or two
to The Road Warrior and you've got an idea of what Beyond the
Grave is all about.
This flick feels more like a fever
dream or nightmare than an actual movie. It holds you at arm's length,
never fully letting you engage in it, but gives you enough bizarre
and cool shit to hold your interest for the running time.
I found the final five minutes -- when
the hero is SPOILER ART possessed by the villain -- especially
terrifying. The rest of the movie isn't particularly exciting nor
boring. It just is. And I had a hard time figuring out what was going
on. Once I did, I enjoyed Beyond the Grave enough to give it a Bad.
This isn't a trip I need to take twice.
Shawn: Hey, zombie movie international! Low,
low budget international.
Let me tell you, this was no Horde…
It felt like the Road Warrior for approximately 0.9876789 seconds. However, it is almost impossible to
screw up a zombie movie, regardless of your budget. If you kill
zombies, you get “critic” points.
The main character in this
was my BIGGEST gripe. He was awkward, clumsy and could barely fight.
Yet he kept beating up people AND zombies. I thought that if he and
the black guy had switched roles, this might have fit better and made more
sense. But zombie movie, black cop, bad ass yet mellow..I guess that
is why they didn’t.
All and all, there were some bad cuts and it
made the movie more confusing than it had to be, but whatever. I’ve
seen way worse and way better. I am actually anxious to watch the
sequel, just to see what improves.
If you are a zombie fan (from before it
was cool and weren’t spoiled by The Walking Dead) then this is
something a true fan needs to have in their brain for a watch. Bad.
Iron Sky
Jason: If all Nazis looked as good as Julia
Dietze the Allies might have been more willing to negotiate with
Hitler during World War 2. She's the best special effect in the
movie. Great accent, nice legs . . . Um. Happily married? Yup. But I notice these things.
This movie is a ton of living,
breathing proof that escapism goes a long way. Sure, Iron Sky
is a sharp satire about America, politics and war, but it's also a
fuck of a lot of fun. It's entertaining, isn't ashamed to be
entertaining, and emerges as one of the most enjoyable movies I've watched
in a long time.
Kudos to to director Timo Vuorensola,
who made a $7 million movie look as good as a $100 million Hollywood
effort. Shame on you, Hollywood. Shame. This movie kicked your ass!
We don't need your pretentious, overblown bullshit!
Some
of Iron Sky is pretty gonzo but, for the most part, it's a great ride.
And one I want to take again and again. A Good from me.
Shawn: Are you kidding
me!?! Holy shit, Nazis from the moon! Lol. In true conspiracy
fashion, there is always a side story that can be made into a movie,
without offending and reminding of the atrocities that happened.
By that I mean, this movie was along the same lines and Mars Attacks. It was silly, yet serious enough to provide some ridiculous entertainment and special effects! Yeah, that’s right. It’s no Gandhi or On Golden Pond, but at least OUR listeners won't fall asleep and want to blow their brains out by the end. Grab a sense of humor and enjoy this movie, because it is a Good!

Julia Deitze has not only become my
favorite hottie actress, but she performed as well as Christoph Waltz
did in Inglorious Basterds! In fact, the acting was spot on, the
graphics and special effects were eye candy and the story was easily
swallowed in a Mars Attacks style, but a tad less silly.
Hate me for loving it. But I did. Good
