I haven’t been following this at all. It sounds fun and all and the trailer seems to confirm that but also adds degree of seriousness I hadn’t expected. At least we know what a cowboy James Bond would look like. Oh and we also know that Olivia Wilde is going to be topless…and that Harrison [...]
Ok,¬†I guess¬†I get to be the bad guy on this one. Iron Man 2 is terrible. Serously. Terrible. Ok ok.¬†I like the … the race scene¬†I guess. So instead of saying it was bad (I’ll backpedal here a little and say that the movie isn’t terrible in the entire negatively-associated sense of the word – [...]
This week we discuss Super 8, Zombie Beatles, Danny McBride and Aziz Ansari in a movie together, Marvel making 3D movies, Elizabeth Perkins leaving Weeds, Iron Man 2, Exit Through the Gift Shop, and Lost.
I’m not going to go so far as to say that you’ll love Iron Man 2. I don’t know you. That’s even considering that whoever might be reading this is more than likely a nerd. There are many kinds of nerds out there and some just don’t dig comic books or the movies that are birthed from them. Hey, I can’t fucking stand card games like Magic. See? Different classes of nerds. With most of the reviews from people who get paid to do what I’m doing saying that this movie is “so-so” and folks who have similar tastes to us here at Media Breach saying this is a “smoldering load of goodness you want in your face”, I can understand how one would be conflicted about the actually quality of this film. I’ve let my initial reaction to this movie die down to try and figure out exactly why anybody wouldn’t like this film or flat out not love it and I think I figured out why.
That’s right, haters, I loved it. Loved, loved, loved, Iron Man 2. As soon as the opening credits started being displayed, I knew it would rule. This is the kind of summer/sequel/comic book movie I love to see. There’s mounds of payoff, call backs to the first film (which I had the pleasure of seeing in the theater again just before the midnight screening of IM2), way more laughs than I expected, and just some all around great action littered with fanboy moments. I know a lot of people said the same thing in May 2008, but the rest of the films releasing this summer are on notice; the bar has been set so good luck.
This week we discuss Hugo Weaving being cast as Red Skull, the secret JJ Abrams movie, Joseph Gordon-Levitt reteaming with Rian Johnson, Sam Rockwell in Cowboys and Aliens, Matthew Vaughn Directing X-Men: First Class, The Losers, The Human Centipede, A Nightmare on Elm St. (2010), Breaking Bad, and Lost.
I guess I missed this story on AICN but word has it that Gwyneth Paltrow gets punched in the face in Iron Man 2. The video after the jump details the nerd outcry over this startling revelation.
This was just too awesome not to post. I let out an audible nerd gasm at one of the very last shots. My only fear is that this trailer will push expectations into Dark Knight territory but with Downey and Favreau steering the ship, I think we’ll be ok. Check it out after the jump.
It wasn’t really a tough year for me to do a ten best. It was actually harder for me to trim some of it down than it has been in years past. In a year in which the amount of good outweighs the bad, i would consider it a successful year for movies. I didn’t [...]
Iron Man 2 has a trailer with not one but TWO AC/DC songs. Check it out after the break!
I can easily say that the only thing I really know about Nixon is Watergate.  Having been born several years after he resigned from office (sorry if I’m dating myself there), it makes sense that I’m only aware of the mistake that ruined a man’s political career.  What I wasn’t aware of was a series [...]
Imagine if your job was to man a space station on the Moon for 3 years, sending rock deposits back to Earth for being repurposed into energy.  Your only companion is a talking computer whose tranquilizing monotone makes for less than engaging conversations.  And then you start having hallucinations. Moon brings this premise to life [...]
