Left Behind (2014)

Left Behind

Date Watched:  5/28/15

Starring:  Nic Cage, Lea Thompson, Chad Michael Murray, Jordan Sparks, Dude from Herman’s Head

Plot: A small group of survivors are left behind after millions of people suddenly vanish and the world is plunged into chaos and destruction.  (From IMDB)

Rules:

  • Religious Preaching
  • Mentions of Jesus or the Bible

Quotes:

“If she’s going to run off with another man, why not Jesus?”

“I don’t know about passengers, but I do know this, there wasn’t anyone flying that plane.”

“What has happened to you?  You never talked like this before… about God.”

“Why should I listen to you?  You didn’t even listen to yourself!”

Viewer Quotes:

“Is that black person a midget too?”… “No, that’s just a little kid.”

“I used to have a crush on Lea Thompson circa “Back to the Future” and “Space Camp”.  Not anymore.”

“Have you ever seen “What Dreams May Come”?  Right now everyone is in a big crayon world.”

“This movie is awful, when is something going to happen?”

Things We Learned:

-People don’t take their clothes with them to Heaven.

-The first thing people do after the Rapture is to shoplift Starter jackets.

-Nic Cage is a sh$tty pilot.

-Some cell phones have a compass app that you can use to land a wayward airplane low on fuel.

Final Take:

This movie is a failure on all accounts.  It was fun to laugh at for part of it, but nothing really happens.  It was simply a bunch of people that I don’t care about trying to land a plane.  This is far and away the least interesting plane in peril movie I’ve ever seen.  Take “Red Eye”, “Flightplan”, even “Turbulence 3: Heavy Metal”, and you have more suspenseful action taking place.  The big reveal, an hour into the movie, is that the people disappeared due to the Rapture.  The movie is titled “Left Behind”, is based on a book, and is a re-make, so this is pretty f&ckin’ obvious to everyone but those sorry saps trapped in this movie.  Skip this movie, unless like us, you are a Nic Cage connoisseur.

  • “All I know is they’re fat rats with big stupid-ass teeth.”

  • If you get bitten by a zombeaver, you don’t turn into a zombie, you turn into a beaver zombie.  This also applies to Bears.
  • Jealous ex-girlfriend zombeavers will bite your dick off.

Bring Me The Head Of The Machine Gun Woman

MachineGunHead

Date Watched: 4/23/15

Starring: ??????

Plot: Timid, video game-loving DJ Santiago seemingly digs his own grave when he agrees to bring a violent criminal kingpin the head of Machine Gun Woman.

Rules

  • Gratuitous ridiculousness (Sex or violence)
  • Stupid 70’s music
  • Decapitations
  • “Machine Gun Woman”
  • Showing a person’s bounty
  • Grand Theft Auto stuff

Quotes

  • “This little bag of farts says he’ll bring in the most blood-thirsty woman in the continent?”
  • “Fucking straws all clogged up.  To enjoy it you’ve gotta suck hard, and I don’t like sucking.”
  • “Pretty boy like you.  Your balls could get cut off, you know.  Do you want that?”
  • “What did this mare do to piss you off so much?”
  • “Please don’t kill me… I’m a good boy.”
  • “I could go away with you and your mom, but you’ll have to get used to my habits, and my temper.”

Viewer Quotes

  • “He’s literally wearing a Michael Jackson Thriller jacket.  That’s amazing.  And this guy’s wearing a Tom Brady jersey half shirt.”
  • “I can’t take the name Chase Sausage seriously.”

Things We Learned

  • In Chile, they bury 10 feet under.
  • You need a license to buy a gun in Chile
  • Sexy Chilean killers have C-section scars
  • Taking a bullet out will magically cure someone of their wound

Final Take

First of all, watch this movie dubbed.  Brings the ridiculous factor up about 12 points.  I’m pretty sure everyone I know is qualified to do some english-dubbed voice acting, and I’m determined to add that to my resume somehow.  All in all this was a decent watch.  It was entertaining, and it was over before you really had a chance to start getting bored of it.  There was some gratuitous violence and some nudity, it went out of its way to parody Grand Theft Auto on many occasions, and it was done in Grindhouse style.  All that said, it was definitely less than the sum of those parts.  I’d probably give it solid C+/B-.

I, Frankenstein (2014)

I, Frank

Viewing Date: 4/16/15

Plot: Frankenstein’s creature finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans.  (From IMDB)

Starring:  Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, and Jai Courtney

Rules:

Say “Adam”

Every time you can tell the movie is ripping off other movies: i.e. Resident Evil, Underworld, Van Helsing, The Matrix, Blade, etc., etc., etc.

Speaking in demon voices or showing red demon eyes

Quotes:

-To Frankenstein’s Monster:  “We shall call you Adam.”

“I know of no other way.  I am not human… or demon… or gargoyle.”

“Now bring me Frankenstein’s Monster!”

“Descend in pain, demon.”

“I think your boss is a demon prince.”

“I’ve never had to thank a human for anything before.”

“You go talk to the Gargoyle Queen, I’ll meet you back here in an hour.”

Viewer Quotes:

“Watching Bill Nye just reminds me of Love Actually.”

“Who are supposed to be the good guys again?”

“There is a lot going on in the movie, but I don’t care about any of it.”

“Do you think he has a stitched together penis?”

“Demons are stupid looking.  I feel like I’m watching an episode of Grimm.”

Things we learned:

-Demons eyes glow red at night clubs.

-Frankenstein’s Monster prefers stupid looking walking sticks as his weapon of choice.

-There has been a century’s long war taking place between demons and gargoyles.

-Working for demon’s doesn’t pay very much, even if you’re an expert in electromagnetics, as evidenced by the complete sh$thole apartment that the main scientist lives in.

-The Gargoyle Queen has a sacred duty to destroy Frankenstein’s Monster.

-Reanimating corpses have a status bar that lights up on their chests to be able to tell their progress.

Final Take:

For a movie with a lot going on, not much is actually going on.  There was little to no character development.  Maybe there is a longer cut of the movie out there where the story is comprised of more than just cardboard cutouts?  (Not that I care or would want to watch it.)  It’s really just a cheap copy of other infinitely better (Matrix) or slightly better (Van Helsing) movies.  It’s fine for watching for free on Netflix, but god help those poor souls that actually paid money in the theaters to watch this dreck.

Blood Glacier

91K55HARsrL._SL1500_

Viewing Date: 4/9/2015

Plot: Scientists working in the Austrian Alps discover that a glacier is leaking a liquid that appears to be affecting local wildlife (imdb)

Starring: Some Austrians / Germans (we’re not sure)

Rules

  • Say “Janek”
  • Say “fox”
  • We see the blood glacier
  • We see new monstrosities

Quotes

“The fox is here.  Be careful.  It’s face, it looks like a beetle!”

“It’s just a vegetative reflex.  It’s dead.”

“STOP EATING THAT BANANA WHILE YOU’RE CRYING!”

“Birds of Prey attacking people is just an old legend.”

“One less person to drive, eat, breathe and fart holes into the climate.”

Viewer Quotes

“Maybe it’s Hitler’s granddaughter.  They don’t know.”

“All of these characters are terrible- outside of Janek.”  “Janek isn’t that great either.”

What We Learned

  • Foxes are nature’s greatest omnivores
  • The cast of characters cares more for a random girl who was running on a desolate mountaintop with no supplies, or friends, than for one of their dead colleagues.
  • Blood glaciers come and go as they please.
  • Don’t trust your co-workers in life or death situations.
  • Don’t cry when you’re eating a banana.
  • Warning of rabid foxes should be taken very seriously.

Final Take

We watched this mainly on the strong reviews endorsing this movie as possibly the more poorly dubbed movie of all time.  It was bad- that’s for sure, but I think we’ve seen worse with some of the Japanese bad movies that we’ve watched.  Overall this was pretty boring and completely forgettable.

Nazis at the center of the earth (2012)

Nazis

Viewing Date: 3/26/15

Plot:

Researchers in Antarctica are abducted by a team of masked storm troopers. They are dragged deep underground to a hidden continent in the center of the earth. Here Nazi survivors, their bodies a horrifying patchwork of decaying and regenerated flesh, are planning for the revival of the Third Reich. (From IMDB)

Starring:

Dominique Swain and Jake Busey

Rules:

  • Nazi clichés
  • Nazis dying
  • Faces getting ripped off
  • Every time blond chick runs

Quotes:

“What is wrong with you, you’re never squeamish?”  (After her friend’s brain has been ripped out and girl vomits.)

Viewer Quotes:

“So one guy has been delivering people to the Nazis for years to use as spare parts and nobody has noticed?”

“Where did he get that baseball?”

“That is the worst thing you can say to a Robo-Hitler.”

Things we learned:

  • To tear someone’s face off, you just need to cut them a little bit at the top of their head.
  • There are mountains and temples at the center of the earth.
  • It’s not cold at the center of the earth.
  • Nazis have UFO technology.

Final Take:

For a movie with great promise, it just doesn’t really deliver.  It goes to places that it shouldn’t go – zombie rape and abortion scenes – that make it mean spirited and take the fun out of it.  This should have just been over the top ridiculousness.  If you’re looking for a silly zombie Nazi movie, I would definitely check out “Dead Snow” instead.

Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead (2014)

Dead Snow 2-AGI-DVD-OCard-UK&Eire EAGLE.indd

Viewing Date: 3/5/2015

Plot: If the worst day of your life consisted of accidentally killing your girlfriend with an axe, chain-sawing your own arm off, and watching in horror as your closest friends were devoured by a zombified Nazi battalion, you’d have to assume that things couldn’t get much worse. In Martin’s case, that was only the beginning. (via IMDB)

Starring: Some Norwegians

Rules

  • Waking the dead / turning someone into a zombie
  • say “zombie”, x2 for “zombie squad”
  • Dismemberment / disembowelment
  • Star Wars references

Quotes

“I have chocolate.  I could get it for you.  It’s double-triple fudge.”

“Didn’t we agree to be more casual around here?”

“I was expecting Hoth, but this is more Endor.”

“It would be easier if you could buy weapons here.” “Yeah.  What the fuck is wrong with this country?”

“Don’t hurt me!  I have two kittens!”

“What are you talking about?!” “It’s Satan’s arm.  It’s a long story.”

“We’re fucking nerds.  That’s what we do….  Technical shit.”

“What did the forensic team say?” “That’s not the forensic team, that’s Tim Ollie.  They dressed in all white today.  They thought it would look more professional.”

“I didn’t know there was supposed to be an ugly face convention in town.  Come get me if you dare.”

“What the hell is going on?  Is there a carnival in town?”

Viewer Quotes

“They have violated every rule.”

What We Learned

  • There are Nazi zombie doctors can reattach limbs
  • You can siphon gas with someone’s intestines
  • You can hide from nazi zombies by posing as a mannequin
  • The best way to counter an evil Nazi zombie army is with a slightly less-evil Russian zombie army
  • A seagull translator would be invaluable to police detectives

Final Take

This movie was fantastic!  We enjoyed the first one as being a better-than-average zombie horror comedy, but this one was a serious step up.  The production value went up, it was in English (Norweigian dubbing didn’t really hurt the first one though), and they broke all of the unwritten rules of going over the top in horror movies.  Multiple murders of handicapped people, children, women with baby strollers- but in a funny way (can I say that?)…  Absolutely ridiculous, but the dialogue was spot on and had funnier parts than most comedys coming out these days.  The guy who played the museum employee nailed it.  This will likely go in as one of the top 10 most enjoyable bad movie Thursday films so far.

The Last Starfighter

last_starfighter

Date Watched: 2/26/15

Starring: Lance Guest, Robert Preston

Plot: A video-gaming boy, seemingly doomed to stay at his trailer park home all his life, finds himself recruited as a gunner for an alien defense force.  Every video gaming boy’s secret hope.

Rules

  • “Starfighter”
  • Iconic 80’s images
  • “Ko-Dan”
  • Centauri speaks in the third person.
  • That thing closing over the alien’s eye

Quotes

  • “Shifting into star drive at Columba Zeta.  Hold tight.”
  • “Not even your mighty starfighters will be able to save you.”
  • “What if the Wright brothers thought that only birds should fly?  And did Galoka think that the Utils were too ugly to save?”
  • “An exact duplicate of you only not as loud.”
  • “Where’d it go?”  –  “It’s still there.  Suspended in the Xenon mist.  It’s only visible when you look dead ahead.”
  • “Terrific.  I’m about to get killed a million miles from nowhere with a gung ho iguana.”
  • “I’ve locked it’s beamer frequency so it can’t report back to the armada.”
  • “A mobile cave that never went anywhere?  Fascinating.”
  • “We’re locked into the moon’s gravitational pull.  What do we do?”  –  “We die.”
  • “Alex, what is all this?”  –  “I’ve been to another planet, Ma.”

Viewer Quotes

  • “You think all these old people give a shit about this video game?”
  • “This is the best thing you can hope for your son, that something like this will happen in his lifetime.”
  • “Now he just needs to drill this chick, then come out and get high fives from everyone.”
  • “In typical 80’s fashion, the one hot chick has no boobs.”
  • “Wow, that looks terrible.  Is this still the video game graphics we’re watching?  I think the original playstation has better graphics than this.”
  • “Is that Will Ferrell?”
  • “Wouldn’t you have wanted to move the base, knowing that there’s someone that wants to kill you all and knows exactly where the base is?”
  • “You can’t stay on Rylos with Centauri and Grigg.”
  • “So anybody could have been a Starfighter.  It took no skill.”

What We Learned

  • People are all white balding men on Rylos.  Even the women.
  • All aliens are humanoid, with arms, legs and heads.  But of course Star Trek taught us that.
  • Earth isn’t at war with anyone except themselves.
  • Don’t bother learning to be a good starfighter.  It all comes down to the death blossom in the end.
  • Aliens don’t die.
  • Betas make terrible stand-ins.  At the first sign of trouble they’ll fold and admit they’re a beta.

Final Take:  Nothing like a little nostalgia.  This movie is supposed to be a grand epic, but it’s really pretty simple.  It’s fun if you have fond memories of it from watching it as a child like I do, but it’s definitely not an instant classic.  I don’t think any of those actors went on to anything else after that movie, so that might tell you something.  It’s fine. You’ll like it.  Just don’t expect to remember it a week from now.

Division III: Football’s Finest (2011)

Division III

Date Watched:  2/19/15

Rewatch: 1/23/25  We didn’t all enjoy the masterpiece that is Division III the first time around, so we decided for a rewatch ten years later.  We were also curious as to why this post is one of the most popular on our illustrious blog.

Starring:  Andy Dick

Plot: This ensemble comedy follows the Pullham University Bluecocks, a small liberal arts college with a Division III football program (the lowest division in the NCAA). When the head coach unexpectedly dies, the future of the flailing football program is in jeopardy, as they have not had a winning season in decades. In a desperate attempt to create some media attention for the athletic program and the university, President Georgia Anne Whistler hires known lunatic and felon, Coach Rick Vice, for what could be the football programs final season. Vice, an overly aggressive redneck racist, quickly becomes the team’s and athletic director’s worst nightmare. Vice especially butts heads with Mitch DePrima, a reluctant quarterback who was drawn to the college thinking he would play ball as a big fish in a small pond, only to find himself riding the bench in his final year. Navigating between an insane coach, meat-head teammates, his male cheerleader roommate and the sexy new sports trainer, Mitch struggles to find himself. But Vices particular brand of unorthodox coaching, may just be the spark that Mitch and the entire team need to turn the program around and become winners!  (From IMDB)

Rules:

  • Say “Rick Vice”
  • Double Entendre’s
  • Cameos
  • Shooting guns
  • Coach abuses his players
  • Coach says “Get Some”
  • Not lighting a cigarette
  • Bike throwing
  • *new* Breaking clipboards

Quotes:

  • “It’s like black history month all the time.”
  • “I was abused sexually and otherwise.”
  • “If you don’t pick up the pace, I’m going to rip off your little peckers and shove them up your mother’s hot pockets, little f$ck and f$cks.”
  • “This world is run by greedy self-serving morons.”
  • “Why don’t you step up into the gauntlet you bitch nuts.”
  • “I don’t care if you like slits or dicks, the best player is playing.”
  • To the hot girl – “You got any raisins? How about a date?”
  • “What the f$ck are you doing out there? Having a little sewing circle?”
  • “You’ll be all be up to your poop shoots and blood and guts in Iran soon anyway.”
  • “You’re whining more than Mike Vick’s puppy.”
  • “I’ve heard of Sigmund Freud, cause he’s the one that f$cked his mother.”
  • “Hello Roy, how long you been sitting there eyeballing and assf$cking me?”
  • *new* “Darwinism?  I call it evil-ution.”
  • *new* “I’m French Irish.”

Viewer Quotes:

  • “Wow, this whole movie is like one big awesome quote.”
  • “Are all the college players in this in their 30’s?”
  • “Is he drinking from a coffee mug with Hitler on it that says “Fail!”?”

Things we learned:

  • Andy Dick is an amazing filmmaker.
  • You can snort protein powder like cocaine.

Final Take:  This was a great flick filled with many awesome lines from AD.  We had a great time watching it, and we would definitely recommend Division III to others.  If you are easily offended then this is not the movie for you, but then again Bad Movie Thursday probably isn’t either.

*update*:  Second watch was just as good.  Its an offensive, quotable, pile of garbage, but in the best way.  We’re hoping for a sequel (Division IV?) assuming Andy Dick doesn’t die first.
