Big Month of Dick – Blade Runner

Banner by LCOM

Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about your mother,

because Blade Runner is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nut-shell: Visually visionary but emotionally distant, Blade Runner is a revolutionary piece of  science fiction and its impact on world of film is still felt to this day.

This movie contains:

Harrison Ford, Master of Facial Expressions.

HURRAY FOR UNICORNS!

RealDolls.

Tears in the Rain.

Halloween Double Feature!


As a special Halloween-themed treat (or is it a trick?), we declare that

Hocus Pocus and Empire of the Ants are the Greatest Movies EVER!

Reviews in a Nutshell: Hocus Pocus has Sarah Jessica Parker as a sorcerous seductress.  Empire of the Ants has giant, radioactive ants.  What more needs to be said?

These movies (respectively) contain:

ZOMG GIANT ANTS.

SATAN.

‘Lugubrious’ Actually Means ‘Melancholy’

Gas up the Dune Buggy, because Doomsday is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: Imagine a distillation of all the crazy stuff that made eighties action movies so remarkable, now add exploding rabbits and Ren Fair.  That’s Doomsday.

This movie contains:

Cybernetic Eyeballs.

Punk Rock Apocalypse Cannibals.

Medieval Knights on Horseback.

Graphical Interface Manipulation Program?

This movie does not contain:

This lady.

COMING SOON:

We need to do something special for episode 150.

Ah, soap.  The yardstick of civilization.

“Math is Hard.”

In the future Mars is a lot like Epcot, and Cowboy Bebop: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door

is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell:  The Cowboy Bebop movie is basically an episode of the TV series extended out to feature film length.  Whether that’s its greatest strength or its greatest weakness is a matter of opinion.

Be sure to check out DAPD-DX’s review here and Dave and Joel’s take here.

This movie contains:

The Patented Ed-in-an-Amphora(TM).

Faye Valentine, Being Useless and Getting Kidnapped. (Again.)

Psychotic Villains.

“A man who was living in a dream…”

COMING SOON!

Daryl Surat invades GME! for another round of ‘feeding time at the @#$%ing zoo!’

Robot + Dinosaur = NIGHTMARE!

Don’t try to salvage giant alien robots, because Terror of Mechagodzilla is

The Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: The final entry in the ‘Showa’ Godzilla series, Terror of Mechagodzilla boasts the return of Ishiro Honda and a darker, more somber tone than many previous films.  The seriousness is a bit of a mismatch with the silver jumpsuits and the fan-blade butt dinosaurs.

This movie contains:

Mad Scientists.

Cyborg Technology!

Astromen from Outer Space.

ROBOT DINOSAURS.

Are you Afraid of the Dark?

Beware of mutant space geckos, because Pitch Black is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: Pitch Black is a clever little science fiction film with a used universe aesthetic and a scintillating performance by Vin Diesel as escaped convict Richard B. Riddick. Too bad David Twohy had to muck it all up in the sequel…

This movie contains:

Keith David, Space Faring Muslim.

Purple People Eaters? (Okay, that’s more of a Cyan…)

ACTING!

PATHOS.

COMING SOON!

Once again we’ll venture into the Gothic imagination of Guillermo del Toro

when Sean and I review The Devil’s Backbone.

Accept no Imitations

Aim for the babies and the Boy Scouts, because Death Race 2000 is the Greatest Movie EVER!

I’ll throw some pics up later. This episode is super late. I was sick all weekend.

Many apologies for the inconwenience.

Radiation-Munching Space Germs!

It’s time to pick on babies and monkeys, because

The Andromeda Strain is the Greatest Movie EVER!

This movie contains:

One Unfortunate Monkey.

SCIENCE!

Pyramid Head?

Your Tax Dollars at Work.

“Welcome to SNARF.”

The Greatest Movie EVER!

Keep your freaking flight mask ON,

because Wing Commander is the Greatest Movie EVER!

This movie contains:

KILLDOZER!

Space Kittens.

KILLDOZER!

SPACE BULLDOZER.

Final Thought:

“Oh, come on, Scooby Doo wasn’t that bad…”

COMING SOON!

We keep the pain train rolling full steam when Angel, George and I tackle

Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God.
