It’s not a secret. I like zombies. Maybe not if one tried to gnaw on me like a piece of fried chicken, but I like stories about zombies whether they’re on TV, in print, or on the big screen. So when I heard about Dead Snow last year after Sundance, I knew it had to go on my “To See” list. It finally comes to DVD on February 23, 2010 and I got a sneak peek!
What’s it about? Take one part traditional horror plot with teenagers or 20-somethings, add a vacation cabin in the Norweigian Alps, and… Nazi zombies? Really!? Yes, Nazi zombies. And these guys aren’t messing around…
As the movie starts, we see a girl running through the trees and snow being chased by something or several somethings. It’s not clear what the “somethings” are, but you know they can’t be good. The music used for the opening sequence was an inspired choice and I only wish I knew what it was, but I can’t seem to find the soundtrack anywhere. We’re then introduced to the
beautiful people – four guys and three girls – heading up into the Alps for some skiing, snowmobiling, and fun. And yes, there’s a girl missing – one of the guys’ girlfriends was meeting them up there.
Everything is happy and cheerful until the obligatory weird local guy comes to the door in the middle of the night one night and regales them with stories of the Nazis and locals who had clashed 60 years before. During World War II, a Nazi company occupying the area were driven deep into the mountains and presumed to have frozen to death. He even has the gall to complain about the coffee he’s given as a guest. Once he leaves, everything gets rolling pretty quickly.
Honestly, I think this zombie movie has everything I could have wanted in a horror movie. Cute girls, humor, a bit of T&A, and zombies with a lot of personality. It even includes a zombie attack in the outhouse. Not only is it a gory, bloody mess, but it pays homage to some of the great horror movies of the past, including two of my favorites – Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2. When I saw the chainsaw come out of the shed, I burst out laughing.
Let’s talk about the zombies a bit. These aren’t your usual slow, brainless variety. For 60+ year old zombies, these guys are darn fast. The makeup artist did an amazing job providing unique faces for each zombie and I felt like each zombie actor provided a bit of personality to their characters which was awesome.
If you’re not into blood and guts, I would recommend staying away from Dead Snow. But I was constantly amazed at the variety of ways that zombies and campers could be killed or mutilated. Until this movie, I have never seen a man’s head get ripped apart. In one scene, they actually had a girl awake as a group of zombies pulled out her intestines. Fake blood was used aplenty in this film, liberally splattered across the landscape and the actors.
Also, I have to say that the subtitles didn’t detract from the film at all for me. Usually the actors weren’t talking during the fiercest action scenes, so you weren’t constantly bobbing your head up and down as you tried to keep track of what they were saying and what was happening on screen.
In my new order of zombie favorites, I’ll have to put Dead Snow in my top 5, along with Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, Resident Evil, and Army of Darkness. Be sure to check it out at your favorite retailer or rental store when it hit shelves February 23!
Today I heard from the Sundance Institute that there is a “cinematic rebellion” seeking a groundswell of support from the community. As someone who love the creative spirit Sundance embraces each year, I will join the rebellion… Click below to spread the word far and wide!
Check out the free short film (CHONTO by Carson Mell), the opening scene of the about-to-premiere Tamra Davis film Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child and music from John Forté and Capybara… What’s not to like about this rebellion?!?
I thought this was interesting. Saw the new Karate Kid trailer from Sony Pictures starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. It doesn’t look as bad as I expected. As a child of the 80’s, I remember the first one and it’s tough to forget “wax on, wax off” even after all these years.
Have to admit I like the chopsticks, fly, flyswatter scene.
Did you watch the trailers for Aliens in the Attic when they were on television and in movie theaters and cringe inwardly? I was there with you. This flick had all the earmarks of a trainwreck… A mix of animation and live action? Check. A young cast trying to expand their careers? Check. Alien invasion? Check. The list goes on… But was it really as bad as people said? Not really. Some parts were actually funny and others were almost touching.
What’s the story then? A teenage boy, Tom (Carter Jenkins), and his family – father Stuart (Kevin Nealon), mom Nina (Gillian Vigman), and sister Bethany (Ashley Tisdale) – go on vacation with their extended family. Cousin Jake (Austin Butler), twins Art and Lee (Henri and Regan Young), young sister Hannah (Ashley Boettcher), uncle Nathan (Andy Richter), and grandma Rose (Doris Roberts). Yes, it’s a big family reunion. Slimy boyfriend Ricky (Robert Hoffman) even drives up in his fancy car to surprise Bethany.
Unfortunately, they have some univited guests who start causing havoc. A group of aliens arrive as a scouting party for a bigger invasion force.
Many of the funny scenes were shown in the trailers, including the battle royale between Grandma and Ricky as mind-controlled puppets. All of the scenes where Ricky and Grandma were implanted with the mind-control device were really quite amusing. There’s something about idiot boyfriends and sweet old grannies going toe to toe that is absurd enough to keep you laughing. The fact that the mind control didn’t work on the children was a fun plot device to keep the battles mainly between the kids and the aliens with the adults only occasionally getting in the way.
The aliens had a lot of personality as well, considering that they were CGI. Voiced by Thomas Haden Church, J.K. Simmons, and others, each had his or her own way of looking at the world. And though they were about 2 feet tall and kind of mean, they were violent in mainly cartoonish ways – so this was never too scary for my kids.
It also seemed that writers Mark Burton and Adam Goldberg had a good grasp of using what was at hand in the house for the warfare between the kids and the aliens. The kids were putting together potato guns and using firecrackers in the air ducts to keep the aliens with better technology at bay.
Most of the almost touching moments were between Stuart and Tom. Theirs was a father-son relationship that had become strained as Tom tried to deal with being a smart geek in school who was always picked on by the cool or athletic kids. To rebel, he decided to fail his classes to try and fit in with the “cool” crowd, which only succeeded in making his parents upset with him. By the end of the film, Tom decides he’s ok with being a smart kid, since it was his smarts that helped save the planet from the pint-sized aliens.
Really it wasn’t too bad. And my two girls (ages 4 and giggled their way through most of it, so I think they had fun too.
In addition to the movie, there are a number of features included on the DVD. Ashley Tisdale is featured in the “Introduction to Film,” the “Introduction to Special Features,” and “The Ashley Encounters” segments. The “Alternate Ending” didn’t work as well for me as the actual one they used in the movie, and the Deleted Scenes didn’t add much, but were probably fun to film for Tim Meadows, who played the Sheriff.
The Gag Reel was fun, and shows that all the kids and adults had a good time filming. I really liked the “Behind the Zirkonians” short, which was done as a motion comic book. The animators must have had a good time pulling it together. And in “Meet the Zirkonians” you have an interactive feature that tells you various things about each of the four alien characters. For example, who knew Tazer was “single and looking”?
But the “Kung Fu Grandma” faux-commercial was my favorite feature. I had no idea that mind controlled grannies had so many special moves.
All in all, Aliens in the Attic was a fun movie to share with my kids. Find it at a rental store near you!
Way back when the original Fame (1980) movie was released, I was really too young to appreciate the deeper social issues intertwined with the story. But when the Fame television show aired in the early 1980s, that didn’t stop me and my family from tuning in. The combination of dancing, singing, and performing tapped into my subconscious from an early age. And to this day, I probably still have a crush on Irene Cara and would be intimidated by Debbie Allen if she happened to be in a room.
So when the new Fame (2009) movie was announced, I was enthusiastic. It once again included the indomitable Debbie Allen, plus the gorgeous and talented Kherington Payne from So You Think You Can Dance season 5 – two figures from the world of dance I knew were talented in the field. Add to that an all-star cast of Megan Mullally (Will & Grace), Bebe Neuwirth (Cheers), Charles S. Dutton, Kelsey Grammer, and a whole new generation of talented singers, dancers, and performers, and you should have a great film.
I was disappointed to hear that the film opened to mixed reviews and somehow I never had a chance to catch it in the theater. I do however want to take a look when it comes out on DVD in a few months.
But how was the soundtrack, you ask? Well, it has some high points. I’m not much of a fan of hip-hop or the new R&B music, but the two voices that really stood out to me were those of Asher Book and Naturi Naughton, both relative newcomers.
The only two songs that survived between from the 1980 soundtrack to the new one were “Fame” and “Out Here on My Own.” The 2009 version of “Fame” is just ok for me – the bass is a bit much. But “Out Here on My Own” from Naughton worked for me. She has a pure, emotive voice and the simple arrangement with voice and piano really brought that out.
Asher Book however was the standout for me. I’m not sure if he played piano on the tunes on which he sang, but his voice lent itself to the pop/bluesy feel of most of these tracks extremely well. The arrangements of “Try” and “Someone to Watch Over Me” were especially potent. I hope this isn’t the last we’ll hear from him.
Lastly, I knew that Megan Mulally could sing. I had heard her belt out showtunes on television at some point. But I was pleasantly surprised to find “You Took Advantage of Me” where she was given the spotlight amidst the rest of the young talent of the film. She’s a brilliant comedic actress with an amazing voice and her character was quite apparent as she sang, providing yet one more reason to watch the movie when it’s released on DVD.
Overall this was a good soundtrack with some solid performances by Naughton, Book, and Mulally. I hope to see how the soundtrack works in the context of the film in a few months. If you liked Fame (2009) or are merely interested to hear what they’ve done with the music this time around, be sure to check out the soundtrack at your favorite retailer!
Thought I’d catch up on a few of the movies I’ve seen recently but haven’t had a chance to write up a full review of yet…
Gamer
I saw Gamer a few weeks ago, starring Gerard Butler (300, Phantom of the Opera) as virtual hero Kable and Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under, Dexter) as Ken Castle, creator of the game. Created by the same sick, twisted, and brilliant minds who did Crank, Gamer is an interesting cyberpunk world mixing the worlds of cybernetic implants and virtual worlds to portray a brilliant and disturbing scenario where real people can slip into the minds and bodies of other real people – and use them as avatars in huge online games.
Butler is always a joy to watch, but I have to admit I haven’t seen any of Dexter, so I honestly had no idea how warped Hall could be. His portrayal of an evil Bill Gates has to have been the best movie villain I’ve seen in forever. He had the moves, the lines, and the attitude that sold me hook, line, and sinker.
I give this one a solid 3.5 out of 4 stars (Rating:). It will definitely be one I pick up when it’s on DVD. Not for everybody and definitely not for kiddies (sex and language mostly, but some seriously sick situations as well). And if you get motion sickness from shaky-cam – I’d avoid it. But I really liked it. I can’t wait to see what Neveldine and Taylor come up with next!
Ok, I have to say that I’m a huge fan of Shaun of the Dead, so when I saw the initial press for Zombieland, I wasn’t holding my breath. Starring Woody Harrelson as Zombie-killer at large Tallahasee and Jesse Eisenberg as college student Columbus, this wasn’t what I was expecting. And I have to say I really enjoyed it. This Zombedy (or is it a Comabie?) is a road movie the likes of which I can’t say I’ve ever seen.
Columbus wants to get home to his family in Ohio and Tallahassee simply wants to kill zombies and find a Twinkie. Along the way they meet con artists Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) and head to a zombie-free amusement park in California.
Be sure to watch for all of Columbus’ rules – there are 32 or 33 of them and they’re all hilarious. Definitely things to keep in mind when our own zombie apocalypse comes to pass.
If you like zombies and comedy, then Zombieland is for you. I think it will fit beautifully next to Shaun of the Dead in my DVD collection when it comes out! I give it a solid 3 out of 4 (Rating:).
So there you have it… A couple of quick reviews. Both were fun in very different ways, but were high on body count and had lots of destruction!
Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon is the one I will always remember as my first glimpse into the realm of martial arts movies. Since then, we’ve seen many others take the formula and attempt to change it to make it seem fresh and new. Most American attempts to do so have failed miserably (except for maybe Bloodsport with Jean-Claude Van Damme, which is a guilty pleasure) over the last 35 years for me.
Back in 1997, Todd McFarlane’s anti-hero Spawn came to the big screen. Though Spawn was not a great film, for me it always stood out as having some great things about it. John Leguizamo played the demented clown with some great one-liners, and relative unknown Michael Jai White starred as Al Simmons, the soldier who becomes Spawn. I always thought White did a great job with the role (as did Leguizamo), but I can’t say I remember him in anything since then.
Blood and Bone takes care of that situation nicely, and I hope signals the beginning of a resurgence in martial arts movies about more than wire work and fight choreography. White plays a character simply known as “Bone,” who has recently been released from prison and finds himself quickly drawn into the underground world of street fighting in Los Angeles. These street fights are not boxing matches – this is mixed martial arts at its most raw. Bone must fight to survive and work his way up the ladder to the top.
The biggest thing that impressed me about this direct-to-DVD offering from Sony Pictures was the slow reveal of the story. Yes, there are plenty of short, violent fights to tide over most fans of martial arts films. But as you learn more about Bone and why he’s doing what he’s doing, it made me think back to the era of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. Lone heroes coming out of nowhere, wading into a fight simply because it would be wrong to do otherwise.
Bone is a mystery. At the beginning of the film, you don’t know what to think of him more than “dang, that guy can fight!” But by the end, you have a better appreciation of what he’s had planned all along. White portrayed the solid, yet mysterious Bone extremely well. He was amazing in the fight sequences, but also has some nice emotional moments and even a couple of funny ones.
Starring alongside White are Julian Sands as underworld arms merchant and fight promoter Franklin McVeigh and Eamonn Walker as James, a mob boss with higher career goals. Sands has made a career out of playing great bad guys throughout the years and Walker has played great roles in films such as Cadillac Records and the TV-series Oz. Sands may have been a bit of overkill for his part, but I thought Walker did a great job in his role. James is a bad man who believed he was doing what needed to be done, and that made him much more believable.
Blood and Bone isn’t anything like the martial arts films of Jackie Chan or Chow Yun Fat, which tend to focus more on humor or the grace and magic of the ancient Chinese world. White shows a Hollywood approximation of street fighting. And with the popularity of mixed martial arts on the rise, his movie seems well timed to ride that swell of interest.
White has been around martial arts for most of his life and holds multiple black belts in Shotokan, Tae Kwon Do, Kobudo, and other styles. His overall style merges qualities of his combined experience, making him a very dangerous opponent. But it’s his appreciation for martial arts and how they’re portrayed in mass media that really sets him apart. He didn’t just want to make a martial arts movie. He wanted to make a good movie that just also happened to have martial arts in it.
But White isn’t the only skilled martial artist in the cast. Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson, Bob “The Beast” Sapp, Tanoai Reed, Gina Carano, and Ernest “The Cat” Miller are among the fiercest fighters in MMA today. Seeing these folks fight during the film is like watching a “who’s who” of some of the popular figures in the sport. Gina Carano is a serious contender in the women’s mixed martial arts fighting circuit was the Gladiator “Crush” in the most recent incarnation of American Gladiators. And she’s attracted the attention of Steven Soderbergh in the lead role of his upcoming film Knockout.
You could tell even the crew was behind this film 100% when you watch the feature “Breaking the Mold: Behind the Scenes of Blood and Bone.” This was a labor of love for everyone from the actors to the screenwriter and even the cameramen. Everyone involved wanted this movie done right.
Other features include a sneak peek at Black Dynamite, an upcoming comedy starring White, and commentary from director Ben Ramsey, White, Dante Basco (played “Pinball” in the film, a loud-mouthed sarcastic fight promoter), Michelle Belegrin (the troubled girl Angela), and cinematographer Roy Wagner.
Blood and Bone most likely won’t win many awards, but it’s a solid movie that provides some great fight choreography and a backstory that gives the violence a reason. Definitely not for the kids due to the violence and language, but worth seeing in my book. If you like MMA or martial arts movies, be sure to check it out at your favorite online or brick-and-mortar retailer when it’s released on September 15, 2009.

That’s right, you read the title correctly. The 25th Anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) phenomenon. Who knew that radioactive turtles would have such staying power in pop culture?
To mark the occasion, Warner Brothers is releasing a 25th Anniversary Collection of the four TMNT movies to date. Aptly named the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 25th Anniversary Collection, it includes a special DVD case with the four DVDs (in the shape of a manhole cover), four turtle masks (one for each one of the Turtles), and a page of temporary Turtles tattoos. All in all, this is an awesome collection that is for collectors and people new to the world of the Turtles alike!
If you need to brush up on your TMNT history, let’s go back to the beginning…
In 1984, the first TMNT comic book was released. In those comic pages, the world was introduced to four turtles and a rat mysteriously transformed into intelligent, man-sized creatures by radioactive ooze in the sewers of Manhattan. Leonardo, the turtle with the blue mask, was the leader of this young group of heroic martial arts students. Raphael, with his red mask, tended to punch first and ask questions later. Michelangelo, with his orange mask, was the easygoing surfer dude of the group. Donatello, with his purple mask, was the scientist of the bunch. And Master Splinter, the mutant rat who was a pet of a Ninja master before his transformation, served as their teacher and guide.
And what comic book would be complete without its bad guys? The Turtles fought a fierce battle against the evil Foot Clan of Ninjas and their nefarious leader, Shredder.
Along the way we met other characters in the Turtles’ world. April O’Neill was originally a lab assistant in the comic book, but later became a television reporter in the cartoons and movies. She is the Turtles staunchest human ally. Casey Jones is a sporting goods-wielding vigilante who also fights alongside the Turtles in their battle against Shredder. And he turns out to be April’s love interest later on in the series…
By 1987, there was the first TV cartoon series, line of action figures, figurines, and much more. The world grew exponentially with merchandising and licensing and there was a time you could hardly turn the television on without seeing Turtle mania. I have to admit that even I was brought under the Turtles’ spell for a time and shouted phrases like “Cowabunga!” and “Turtle Power!” once upon a time.
In 1990, the first live-action TMNT movie was released – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Featuring a quartet of actors dressed in turtle suits, the movie was a big hit at the box office and has been the highest grossing movie in the series so far. The movie showed the origin of the Turtles and the beginning of their battle against Shredder and the Foot Clan. After seeing the Turtles in cartoons for a few years, it was a shock to the system to see the Turtles in the “real world” of New York City. However, their love for pizza and seeing those huge costumes for the first time brought me over to their side of the sewer.
In 1991 there was a live-action sequel – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. Here we learn more about the company responsible for the ooze that transformed normal turtles into Ninja Turtles and find that Splinter somehow survived his demise at the end of the first movie. When he discovers the secret of the ooze, he tries to create his own mutant army to stop the Turtles from interfering with any more of his plans… By this point, the fascination with actors in suits had started to wear off, and the box office started to fall off accordingly.
And in 1993 there was another live-action sequel – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Turtles in Time. This time, the Turtles travel through time to save April O’Neill from being stuck in feudal Japan forever. Evidently movie goers thought the Turtles should have stayed in the past, as this has been the lowest-grossing TMNT movie so far.
And most recently in 2007 after a gap of 14 years, there was an animated feature simply called TMNT that follows the events of the first three movies. In this adventure, the Turtles must stop an immortal warrior and his generals from opening a rift to another universe and allowing monsters to invade and take over the world. As with any group of teenagers, the Turtles had drifted apart after finally defeating Shredder, and they had to rediscover the meaning of family.
The first movie and the animated movie were the best two for me. The original movie captured the campy spirit of the comic book and made it accessible to a whole new audience of kids. There’s something about mixing people in suits, puppeteers and cheesy martial arts moves that made this movie work. And the 2007 animated film provided a great mix of that same campy feel, with updated animation and a story that didn’t feel recycled.
There are even rumors of a new TMNT movie coming sometime in 2010 or 2011. We’ll have to see whether they choose the live-action route or go with animation next time.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 25th Anniversary Collection brought back a lot of memories for me and allowed me to share these movies with my daughters, who were entranced by the stories of these mutant Turtles and wanted to see what happened next. We can only hope that the next generation enjoys them as much as some of the rest of us did growing up in the 1980s and 1990s!
Be sure to check out the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 25th Anniversary Collection at your favorite online or brick-and-mortar retailer!

So what’s opening this weekend? Honestly it just looks like a couple of renters for me…
The Final Destination 3D continues the Final Destination franchise started back in 2000. All of these have been renters for me just to see how creative Death happens to be. This one starts at a NASCAR race where somebody has a premonition of a horrific set of events that kills lots of people. Like all of these, a few people get away and then are killed off one by one in unique ways. Why in 3D? Probably for the one scene in the trailer where the kid is killed by a flying engine.
And then there’s Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, which picks up where the reboot ended. Since I’m not much of a horror film buff, I’ll probably skip this one. But it’s good to know that Mike Myers (the fictional serial killer, not the comedian who killed his own career with The Love Guru) is still keeping up with his homicidal hobby.
That seems to be about it for wide releases this weekend.
If you get out to either of these, let me know what you think.
What’s it about? Take one part traditional horror plot with teenagers or 20-somethings, add a vacation cabin in the Norweigian Alps, and… Nazi zombies? Really!? Yes, Nazi zombies. And these guys aren’t messing around…
