DVD COMMENTARY: The Core (2003)

August 3rd, 2010 by Film Pigs

There’s nothing more refreshing than a big Hollywood movie with a plot based on sound science. Since those don’t exist, the Film Pigs watched The Core instead. We’re not sure what was more astounding: the Space Shuttle crash landing in the LA river (which could TOTALLY happen), the amount of people per square mile that have pacemakers, or Stanley Tucci’s wig.

None of the clearly well-researched science in this movie would be believable if Aaron Eckhart hadn’t been sporting the frosted surfer-boy locks that were so common among scientists of the early 2000s. And who knew The Next Karate Kid could pilot a train with a laser on front straight into the earth?

Seagal Sexual Harassment Case Dismissed – Too Many Puns!

July 15th, 2010 by Skelton

A sexual harassment case made against actor Steven Seagal, whose credits include Under Siege and Flight of Fury, have been dropped. (via BBC)

One could say that Steven is Above The Law now that he is no longer Under Siege from his former assistant who was Out For Justice after accusing him of unwelcome advances toward her Fire Down Below.  Clearly, this was an Executive Decision to save everyone the Exit Wounds of a public trial. We have truly avoided a Black Dawn. Hopefully, no one involved will feel the need to seek Urban Justice. I’d hate to see anyone Pistol Whipped On Deadly Ground until they were Half Past Dead.

MOVIE REVIEW: Despicable Me (2010)

July 11th, 2010 by Film Pigs

The Film Pigs take a clearly intellectually superior special guest to a cartoon show. And the 3-D makes their hangovers much worse. (IMDb)
