DVD COMMENTARY: Law Abiding Citizen (2009)

May 4th, 2010 by Film Pigs

Law Abiding Citizen is a movie so engaging, so socially relevant, and so masterful in its execution that Todd had to buy the Unrated Director’s Cut Blu-Ray edition so he could see it in all its pristine glory FOR THE THIRD TIME. Todd has a terrible problem, but we’re not sure the Pasadena Recovery Center has a program for people who are compelled to buy every single plastic and metal disc that contains moving pictures.

The best thing about LAC is that it is composed mostly of long, boring scenes of people talking which get interrupted once in a while by scenes of terrible violence and/or gore. The director’s cut shows way more gore than the theatrical release (steak bone, I’m looking in your direction). Plus, you get to play an interesting thought experiment where you try to explain why Gerard Butler keeps getting to make high-profile studio pictures when they do nothing but bomb (Answer: he’s pretty).

NOTE: This Film Pigs commentary is for the “Unrated Director’s Cut” on the 2-disc Blu-Ray and not the theatrical release. We felt it was important to force ourselves to sit through the director’s true vision.

MOVIE REVIEW: Kick-Ass (2010)

April 20th, 2010 by Film Pigs

The Pigs curse their way through a review of the latest movie to get trumped at the box office by whatever is in 3-D. Secretly, Todd had believed this would be two in a row that the Pigs enjoyed, but once again Hollywood has dashed his dreams. Skelton makes it clear he loves robots. And Falk talks about some French thing he watched. (IMDb)

MOVIE REVIEW: Shutter Island (2010)

March 2nd, 2010 by Film Pigs

Due to a terrible, alcohol fueled argument before we started vlogging, the Pigs found themselves in a crankier than normal place. In essence, Shutter Island drove a wedge between them. We guess the twist ending of Shutter Island is that it destroys friendships. Jesus, the band is breaking up! Martin Scorcese is our Yoko. But whatever, here it is anyway.

The Pigs walk in with medium hopes and emerge as grumpy Smurfs. This one will piss people off. We’re sorryish. (IMDb)

The Film Pigs go to the “art house” to see a Herzog picture (IMDb)…but who cares? Steven Seagal is: LAWMAN!
