Greatest Movie EVER – Page 20 – The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast

‘Expertise and Child for Rent’

Get ready to walk the Road to Hell, because Shogun Assassin (aka Lone Wolf and Cub) is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the British DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell: A mash-up of the first two Lone Wolf and Cub films, Shogun Assassin stands on its own merits thanks to its original contributions, such as the weird electronic soundtrack and Daigoro’s voice-over. It’s an excellent introduction into the world of chanbara and jidaigeki films.

Thing-Moth-Blob-Dog-Peter-O’TOOOOOOOOLE

Get ready to fire all your ammunition at that scary moth,

because Phantoms is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring Dave and Joel from Fast Karate for the Gentleman.

Review in a Nutshell: This movie is entirely forgettable. Dean Koontz’s writing causes temporary amnesia. Wait, what were we talking about again? Who are you people? What is this place?

Always wear your seatbelt, because Repo Man is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the Bluray cover or the movie title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell: A confluence of punk rock anarchy and self-deprecating suburban cynicism, Repo Man is also a high concept, low budget science fiction film with a bizarre sense of humor and an avante-garde edge. It’s the kind of film that could only have come from the early Eighties.

Emergency Podcast System: Pacific Rim

Get back in your giant robot, because Pacific Rim is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring Thomas Pandich of Tomics! By Tom!!! and the Alter Ego’s podcast.

Review in a Nutshell: If you have any affection in your heart for super robot anime or giant rubber monsters, you owe it to yourself to check out Pacific Rim. It has some of the best special effects and production design you’re likely to see for some time, and it manages to be uplifting and hopeful rather than gritty and grimdark.

Fred Ward, Action Hero

Don’t let the bad guys get away with it, because Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean ‘Hollywood’ Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell: Based off of a long-running series of ‘men’s adventure’ novels, Remo Williams tries to emulate the James Bond films and to find a happy middle ground between action-movie seriousness and tongue-in-cheek camp. It does not ultimately succeed, but the film inspires some interesting conversation.

Donkeys have HUGE ears.

Saddle up your burro, because The Valley of Gwangi is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the moview poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring M.O.M., the Mistress of Malapropisms.

Review in a Nutshell: Essentially a re-telling of King Kong without the troubling racial subtext, The Valley of Gwangi pits real cowboys against stop-motion animation dinosaurs. The visual effects by Ray Harryhausen are outstanding.

The Zany Hijinks of My Buddy Pyramid Head & Me

Sharpen your butcher knives, because Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean ‘Hollywood’ Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell: A misguided attempt to bring the plot of the films in line with the narrative of the video games, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D tries for grotesque horror and fails spectacularly with hilarious results. Few films have made me laugh this hard while attempting to scare or unsettle me.

Demolibertarian Man

Don’t ask about the three seashells, because Demolition Man is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Rachel Pandich and Tom Pandich.

Review in a Nutshell: A stylish film that highlights the awkward transition from the pure absurdity of 80s American action films to the more self-aware output of the 90s, the humor in Demolition Man holds up much better than the fight choreography these days.

Porter, Tailor, Landlord, Beast

Sharpen your axes, because Kung Fu Hustle is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell: A raucous, satirical celebration of martial arts films, Kung Fu Hustle is populated by an eccentric cast of unlikely heroes and villains. Stephen Chow’s film is at once funny, sentimental, and thrilling, with an excellent mix of wirework, CG, and physical skill in the fight scenes.

The Ballad of Texas Battle

Hold onto your Power Poles, because Dragonball: Evolution is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the podcast,
featuring Gerald Rathkolb, Mike Dent, and Evan Minto.

Review in a Nutshell: A cinematic disaster on multiple levels, Dragonball: Evolution nonetheless has glimmers of competence that make for an entertaining, if cringe-inducing, viewing.
