MOVIE REVIEW: Piranha 3D (2010)

August 23rd, 2010 by Film Pigs

This is a perfect movie. Just not if you bring your toddler to see it. The Pigs are happy about the movie, sad about how poorly it is doing at the box office. Yeah, it’s nice Stallone is still on top. But why not number two for the killer fish show? I mean, come on, America! Vampires Suck? Really? (IMDb)

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?

MOVIE REVIEW: Iron Man 2 (2010)

May 12th, 2010 by Film Pigs

Turns out, sequels are almost never as good as the original! Even when the original wasn’t that big a deal to begin with! Who knew? (The Pigs knew. But they like to point the same things out over and over again…) (IMDb)

TRON Sequel Gets Points For Not Being A Reboot

March 9th, 2010 by Skelton

Plus, it has the original Tron: Bruce FUCKING Boxleitner! AND cranky old Jeff Bridges vs. possibly-evil YOUNG Jeff Bridges Computer Program. And No. 13 from “House M.D.” dressed like a neon porn star from a Stanley Kubrick wet dream. (more…)

DVD COMMENTARY: G.I. Joe – The Rise Of Cobra (2009)

February 9th, 2010 by Film Pigs

A new decade brings forth new life challenges. For the Film Pigs, this means sitting through the stupidest movie from the previous decade. It’s hard to quantify just how monumentally stupid G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra is, but with a running time of two hours, there’s plenty of time to try.

Based on the 1980s toy line (much like the other wildly expensive and brain damaging Transformers franchise), G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra tells the story of a bunch of assholes with a shitload of corporate money who want to take over the world for no discernible reason and the bunch of assholes with a shitload of government money who want to stop them. There are also nanobots.

The worst part of G.I. Joe is how forgettable it is, even during the viewing. Fun drinking game: every time Falk asks any variation of “Wait…is that Sienna Miller?”, take a drink.
