watch just 3 minutes of this video, between 23 minutes and 26 minutes.

I'm not sure I want to know what led "Critical Drinker" down the path of wearing aviator sunglasses in a video podcast while talking about father figures, but I am kind of morbidly curious.

Range 15 - 0/10 - (now streaming on Prime)

A Zombie comedy film produced by Military veterans.

This was unwatchable, made it about 15-minutes in before calling it.

James Gunn's Superman

Most of it seemed like one of DC's animated superhero movies turned to live action movie.

And it's slightly funny. Or they tried.

6/10

Nothing earth shattering (no pun intended).

Can I get a link that works?

 

[DigDog]

link1 ?

link 2?

link 3? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRiOe739RBk

 

[Dr. Detroit]

link 2?

Link 2 works - but again, I watched 15-minutes and found it ridiculously unfunny and I'm a Veteran... so understood many of the low brow comments.

it's a film they made themselves, with little money, and it's the same kind of humor that you get from Dodgeball, or Lady Ballers. They stole the "ripped-off-dick" scene from Street Trash. They got a dude who has a zombie girlfriend. There's Zombie Trejo (Danny Trejo, duh) as the final boss. The cure for zombie-ism is whisky, mixed with viper sperm and red bull.

it's not too different from Kung Fury, or any Zombie-Nazi-On-Moon film we've seen recently.

I've seen none of those except Dodgeball - which was a solid 6/10.

Beg to disagree. Kung Fury has tons of retro cheesy visual effects which really adds to the charm of the movie. This one doesn't seem to have that but it's got William Shatner so maybe worth giving it a go with a bit of healthy skipping of uninteresting scenes?

Kung Pao: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0240468/reference/

That used to be the most ridiculous movie I had seen before Kung Fury came out.

@Dr. Detroit Full Kung Fury movie here:

The Arctic Convoy - 5/10 - (now streaming on Hulu)

A true WWII story surrounding the Norwegian civilian fleet carrying supplies from Iceland to Murmansk. This was the only mission where the fleet broke formation and may ships did not survive.

I watched English dub version and perhaps that was big mistake. Overall this was not very interesting, rather mundane, and just not very engaging.

Greyhound which tells a similar story about WWII supply ships was soooooo much better!

I wonder when Tom Hanks will do a sci-fi space movie.

Cloud Atlas

I know and I've seen it but that's just sci-fi. Not space.

Also, dang, forgot that Tom Hanks is unrecognizable in that, at least as the author character.

You mean being visited by aliens doesn't count?

i recommend you do this for ALL FILMS IN EXISTENCE. Your life is too short to suffer because some guy was frat-drinking the day they explained pacing at Emerson college Film 101.

If you find you've skipped something relevant, go back.

The idea that today you will find a film that uses slow scenes to pace fast scenes, is about as likely as a filmmaker using a typewriter to type the script.

Cloud Atlas

i think Apollo 13 technically qualifies as a space movie.

I know and considered that already, except it's not fiction. I was thinking more along the lines of The Martian or Interstellar.

He needs to go on a space adventure or be trapped on a spaceship.

A good filmmaker knows what he's doing so most of the time, I'm OK with a movie pacing at a snail's pace as long as the script or acting or plot or even the location and ideas being shown are new to me. There has to be something to keep my interest.

James Gunn's Superman was almost not interesting because he brought in the Justice Gang or whatever. It only served to dilute the experience, not enhance it. Aquaman was good because the whole movie focused on the Aquaman character and every scene helped to make us learn more about him and his world.

I just skipped through Range 15. It's directed really bad. Doesn't even feel like a B-movie. Something much, much worse than that. Like something that zero resources should've been wasted on. If anyone's trying to find some good scenes in a movie like this, they really need to seek help on how to utilize their time better.
