A Review: Wrecked

"Fuck! I'm. . . FUCK!"

We almost think the name of the movie should be called "Goddamnit." It's accurate in regards for his bad luck and situation. Wouldn't be far off from what the title is ultimately suggesting.

The first thing we can see clearly is Adrien Brody's eyelid as it opens to reveal a weathered ball behind the skin. Then the camera shifts to a broken windshield and the dense green foliage beyond it. Eventually he comes fully to and gazes around. Beat to hammered shit would just about some up his appearance. Stuck in the front passenger seat of a car, he's wrecked it in the bottom of a ravine in the woods, some how. And yet he looks as if he doesn't have the slightest how he's there.

The man in the back seat is either unconscious, or, dead. Later, we find out he is not playing possum, and Brody is all alone. The driver is missing, we don't know about anyone else from the backseat. And that's just the beginning of his problems.

A Review: Predators

There wasn't many people in the theater tonight, although, I caught the last showing at 10:35. Good, more fun for me. And believe me. I. Had. A. Lot. Of. Fun. Son. More than I thought I would.

This is every bit as cool as the trailer looks. Even though the trailer made us think we get what Ebert said the film missed, "Quiet suspense". I agree, while at times, things got quiet and good conversation was quickly exchanged, Antal never kept that going with the scenes of violence and terror. But either way, I shit you not. If you trust this munki even a little bit--this is a very credible sequel to the '87 original. Balee-dat!

(Silly announcer voice) But wait! There's more!

A Preview: Predators

Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Once Upon a Time In Mexico), is the man responsible for this franchise (Predator, Predator 2) being brought back to the celluloid with some skill, precision, patience and good-old-fashioned serious film making.

For Real? Brody, Russell and Stone Together? In A David Koresh Film?

This cast and film premise sound like an answered prayer for some discombobulated film geek. Off his own website Rupert Wainwright(Blank Check, Stigmata, The Fog) says he is coming at you with (hopefully) something really cool, but we'll have to see given his track record. 

But wait! There's more!
