“White House Down” looks like…
White House Down looks like…
…my kind of movie.
I’ll bet you thought I was going to say, Olympus Has Fallen, didn’t you?
Z-View: “Iron Sky” a Weak Link
The Movie: Iron Sky
The Pitch: “Moon Nazis attack the Earth!”
The Tagline: “We Come in Peace”
The Story: In 1945, Nazis loyal to Hitler escaped to the dark side of the moon. Unknown to those on Earth, the Nazis survived and flourished. Flash forward to 2018. The Nazis are now ready to attack the planet.
The Screenplay: Michael Kalesniko from a story by Timo Vuorensola
The Director: Timo Vuorensola
The Cast: Julia Dietz, Christopher Kirby, Gotz Otto .
The Good: This teaser from 2007 (at that point the movie was just an idea). Now that you’ve seen that, you’ve seen the best of what Iron Sky has to offer. Ok, some of the special effects visuals are cool.
The Bad: The movie. Way too many attempts at humor that fail. Yeah, we get it. The Nazis are shocked that a black man is an astronaut. Hardee-har-har. Yeah, it’s real funny in 2018 that Sarah Palin is President. What? Another joke about the black guy? Ho,ho, ho!
The Ugly: How my expectations for Iron Sky were dashed. After seeing the teaser in 2007, I thought the movie might be cool. Then in 2012, I saw this trailer and pretty much knew it would be bad.
The Rating: D
Fan Builds His Own Bat Cave
I have to admit that after seeing this guy’s personal Bat Cave, the comic nerd in me came out and I thought, “Now THAT is cool.”
I especially liked the hidden door activated through the secret button on the Shakespeare bust. (Holy Adam West Batman!)
Has there every been a better fan-made Bat Cave? If so, I’d love to see it. (Oops. The comic nerd is coming out again.)

“World War Z” Featurette
Want to see a featurette for World War Z?
“Fast & Furious 6” Featurette
I’m a fan of the original Fast & Furious. I thought Fast 5 was even better.
So I was pretty excited to hear that they were bringing back the whole team for Fast & Furious 6. Yep, they even brought back The Rock and Michelle Rodriguez. I guess the only thing that I’d have liked better is if Fast & Furious 6 had a Stallone cameo and room for Rosario Dawson.
Below is the just released featurette for Fast & Furious 6. Be advised that there are minor spoilers.
Z-View: “Sharkey’s Machine”
The Movie: Sharkey’s Machine
The Pitch: “Dirty Harry goes to Atlanta.”
The Tagline: “Burt is Sharky. Nobody leans on Sharky’s Machine!”
The Story: Tom Sharky is a narcotics cop demoted to vice after a botched drug bust results in a citizen being shot. Sharkey discovers a plot involving murders and a high level politician being manipulated by a crime boss. Sharkey pulls together a team of quirky cops, but as the bodies pile up find they are in over their heads.
The Screenplay: Gerald DiPego from the novel by William Diehl
The Director: Burt Reynolds
The Cast: Burt Reynolds, Vittorio Gassman, Brian Keith, Charles Durning, Earl Holliman, Bernie Casey, Henry Silva, Richard Libertini, Rachael Ward,Suzee Pai, Dan Inosanto .
The Good: The cast. The action. The soundtrack is awesome. Rachael Ward in her breakout role. Reynolds has the right balance of action/violence/humor. The shootout at the start and end of the movie.
The Bad: Henry Silva is a coked-up psycho hitman and that’s good. What happens to Reynolds when he crosses some Yakuza.
The Ugly: The torture scene on the boat.
The Rating: B
Mike Torrance C’s Rocky
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd returns with his next Rocky card.

Sly Stallone Tweets: New Director for Expendables 3
Last night Sly sent out a series of tweets (seen above) that puts to rest the speculation on Mel Gibson (or John Woo) as the director of Expendables 3.
According to Sly, he found an EXCITING director… a young lion who Sly believes can help make Expendables 3 top Rambo as a pure action film.
Awesome. Can’t wait to hear who it is.
“300: Rise of an Empire” Gets a Poster
This is the first poster for 300 Rise of an Empire. As you probably guessed (if you didn’t already know), 300 Rise of an Empire is a sequel of sorts to 300.
The jury is out on this one, but I’m hoping for a thumbs-up verdict.
All Roads Lead to the Rock in Fast & Furious 6
This is the first poster for Fast & Furious 6 that I’ve liked. It looks even better bigger thanks to IMPAwards.
