Pitch Perfect

August 30, 2012By

Pitch Perfect


2012
Written by Kay Cannon
Based on the novel by Mickey Rapkin
Directed by Jason Moore

This is the fourth time we’ve watched Prometheus and it makes less sense each time!

Who knew that a movie about girls singing a cappella would have the most projectile vomiting you will see in a film since Stand By Me? But it does, and beyond that Pitch Perfect is pretty damn hilarious and will be right up there with cult classics for clubs like the Bring It On features or High School Musicals or Drumline. Does following an all too familiar plot cycle make Pitch Perfect a bad film? Aca-scuse me? Of course not! Take a look out the window on this bus journey, we’ll traveling through uncharted and funny territory, singing all the while.

The danger they don’t tell you about at Del Taco!

Pitch Perfect is based on the nonfiction book by Mickey Rapkin dealing with the college a cappella circuit and all the drama it causes. I’ve not read it, so I don’t know how much of the film is real and how much is fake. I’m guessing all the vomit is real. So very real. Vomit…everywhere! Noooo..oo…..o..

There is not really spoilers below. In fact, I think the trailer gives away more of the plot than I do!

Beca (Anna Kendrick) – Reluctant college student at Barden University just burning time until she runs off to LA to do music production work, due to her skills at using programs on her Macbook. Open Apple-ctrl-OWNED, suckers! Also she’s a good singer who just needs to join a group to find out she pushes away anyone close to her. Don’t worry, like all of these girls, her alt-style makeup and piercings will disappear by the end of the flick.
Aubrey (Anna Camp) – Leader of the Bellas and obsessed with getting things done correctly and properly. A stickler for rules. Has a summer job as a fire hose.
Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) – If you aren’t leaving the theater talking about how awesome Fat Amy is, you are a horrible monster and was probably the awful person texting during the film. We all hate you. Especially Fat Amy. If you are wondering where you saw Rebel Wilson before, it was in Bridesmaids
Chloe (Brittany Snow) – Veteran Bella who manages to convince Beca to try out despite Beca’s lack of caring about anything at this point in her character arc. Once that is complete, Chloe is free to develop nodes.
I’ve come for the loofah!

Time to major in Dragonology!

August 29, 2012By

Who doesn’t like the Dragonology books? Fools, mostly, but also some idiots. The Dragonology books and similar styled sequels are visual treats, books styled like a journal of old with drawings and charts, set in a world where dragons are real and have their own ecologies. Though the books only had a loose narrative, it is enough that something cool could be done, and the universe has only grown in scope. The choice of Dragonology as a film sounds rad, even with the unfortunate fact it’s going through Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci’s production house via Universal. Hopefully they won’t do anything except put their name on it, because they’re going to be busy writing The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Web Harder. Dragonology has a lot of potential, but it is also loose enough that it could go in any direction. It will be easy to make a good film, a little work to make a great film, but it’s also easy to make an awful awful film. Will Dr. Ernest Drake kick some butt? Or be a rapping granny?

For real a Heaven is For Real flick is coming down the pipe!

August 27, 2012By

If you’ve spent time in bookstores, you’ve probably seen the Heaven is For Real book on the shelves, a book that details the totally true story told by a four year old that details his trip to Heaven when he was under during emergency surgery, a trip that is oddly consistent with what he would have learned in the church of his pastor father. Not that’s I’m suspicious or anything that this is some sort of cash grab attention seeking stunt pulled by Pastor Todd Burpo to rake in the dough. I just like randomly screaming out “HUMBUG!” at obvious liars. Todd Burpo’s cowriter Lynn Vincent (the ghost writer on Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue!) comes from such honest stock there is no way this is some sort of scam. Not at all.

Well, now they’re going to be filthy rich(er), thanks to the movie rights of little Colton Burpo’s trip to For Real Heaven being snatched up and Randall Wallace is at the helm. Christopher Parker will write the script and Sony is who we can all thank for this wonderful film that Kirk Cameron will probably tell you about.

For a Good Time, Call…

For a Good Time, Call…


2012
Written by Lauren Miller and Katie Anne Naylon
Directed by Jamie Travis

Ladies, that’s not how phone sex works! Nevermind…

People have finally figured out women can be funny. And by people, I mean Hollywood executives who bankroll films. In the wake of Bridesmaids showing female centric comedy written by and starring women could be both entertaining and profitable, we’ve begun to see a slow trickle of other female driven raunchy humor on the big screen. For a Good Time, Call… features a duo of ladies who run a phone sex line. They also have their own personal and relationship problems along the way, because we can only have so many scenes in a row of women moaning on the phone to guys jerking it. But there is plenty of that, and it’s hilarious.

Let me tell you about wearing pants that go up to your armpit!

Lauren Powell (Lauren Miller) – A boring, shy, and nebbish literary editor whose life is in disarray. But her organizational skills and constant life planning come in handy when a new business venture is undertaken. Lauren Miller cowrote the film along with Katie Anne Naylon, and before this was probably best known as the lady Seth Rogen keeps bringing to premiers. And as the owner of The Legend of Zelda Miller-Rogen, the very famous dog.
Katie Steele (Ari Graynor) – A working class girl who needs to save her grandmother’s apartment before it’s taken over by someone who can afford it. Works a whole host of jobs but ends just won’t get met, unless she goes into business on her own.
Jesse (Justin Long) – The gay friend of both the girls and person who pushes them together despite the mutual loathing. Despite the constant distribution of flyers, we never see Jesse’s comedy show. A shame. I demand more comedy show!
Just gonna Skype into the next Infernal Brains recording session…

Pegasus vs Chimera and Aladdin and the Death Lamp – SyFy Creature Features!

August 23, 2012By

Pegasus vs Chimera

When do I get to fight Sharktopus???


The Earth is still spinning on its axis, so SyFy is producing more monster flicks! And we got a double-feature on our hands for September 15th. The movie formerly known as The Blood of Pegasus has been renamed Pegasus vs Chimera in proper SyFy fashion, and will be starting off our monster event. John Bradshaw takes a break from directing endless Christmas movies, while Nazneen Contractor, Rae Dawn Chong, and Sebastian Roché star. The only plot synopsis I’ve found is

The magical steed Pegasus goes head to head with the hellish Chimera

So, yeah, CGI bloodbath!!!!! Pegasus vs Chimera starts at 7 (6 central), and is followed by…

Aladdin and the Death Lamp! A film I could find even less information about. Kandyse McClure and Noam Jenkins are listed as starring in it, but I don’t know if they are aware as it isn’t on their IMDB lists yet. What we do know is just:

To save the world, Aladdin must wager everything to get an evil Jinn back into his lamp.

That’s right, the genie in the lamp is a jerk! Can we get Genie vs Ifrit? Maybe someday… Aladdin and the Death Lamp slays its way to your small screen at 9 (8 central)

Be there. Because where else are you going to find killer genie flicks? Kazaam 2?

Aladdin and the Death Lamp

Mister Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three! I'm on the job, you big nabob, you ain't never had a friend...

Yusei Oji – Kyofu no Uchusen (Review)

August 21, 2012By

Yusei Oji – Kyofu no Uchusen

aka 遊星王子 – 恐怖の宇宙船 aka Planet Prince – The Terrifying Spaceship

1959
Written by Masaru Igami
Screenplay by Shin Morita
Directed by Eijiro Wakabayashi

TERRIFYING!! Oh, wait wrong spaceship…

We have reached the end of our Prince of Space journey (for now!) with the final installment of the Prince of Space film series, Yusei Oji – Kyofu no Uchusen (Planet Prince – The Terrifying Spaceship). Like Yusei Oji, they were edited and combined into a single film for western audiences called Prince of Space, which is one of the greatest movies ever made. Yusei Oji was released on May 19th, 1959, and Yusei Oji – Kyofu no Uchusen followed a six whole days later on May 25th. Prince of Space is the greatest hero to help mankind, and he does so because it’s the right thing to do. And the chicks! Just kidding, there are no chicks. Sorry, Prince.

Planet Prince Knights

Exclusive shot of the Game of Thrones story arc from TV's Prince of Space!


And one day, we’ll get a hold of his tv series and share it with the world. Until then, we must be content with the films. Because we’re awesome, here is a picture of actor Joji Oka, aka Phantom of Krankor, sans makeup! And another Prince of Space comic book cover!

Yusei Oji – Kyofu no Uchusen features the same opening, but with the different title! Who needs creativity when you have Prince of Space, famed Starman ripoff??? The action largely follows what we saw in the US in the last half of Prince of Space, with a few differences and cuts for pacing sake. Like some unimportant side characters get the heave-ho. Good riddance! But they’re all here. In their full glory. Important boring newspaper characters.

Planet Krankor is filled with pervs!

Planet Prince (Tatsuo Umemiya) – Prince of Space is totally one of them hero type guys who does heroic stuff.
Dr. Maki (Ushio Akashi) – Dr. Maki has more screen time in this adventure as he is kidnapped, but he does act like a moron until he’s saved by Prince of Space!
Ginsei no Maboroshi Taishi (Joji Oka) – Despite being dead, Ambassador Phantom of the Silver Star is alive and well. That’s what happens when you are a rich jerk!
Ginsei-jin (Various) – The Silver Star People are Phantom’s jerk soldiers
Bannin (???) – Bannin means Guardian, so that’s why the Guardian is called Bannin. Now you have learned Japanese. Time to go to Japan. Book your flight now.
That’s what happens when you use a cheap mechanic!
