@Tromafreak, how is F.A.R.T. the Movie?

I see it has 11 writers, so I'd expect an Oscar-worthy story.

#TheRunningMan (2025)

Edgar Wright brings us a new take on this Richard Bachman Stephen King story. The 1987 Arnold flick is a lot of fun, and this new one pays tribute to it in a few ways. The logo, a great Arnold reference, and the nature and aesthetics of the gameshow are all there. Glen Powell does a good job as Ben Richards, an honest worker who agrees to do the show to save his sick daughter, and Josh "I'm in every movie these days" Brolin plays Killian, the immoral gameshow showrunner.

There are plenty of differences, but a few similar beats. I'm guessing this is probably closer to the book, but who knows or cares. They're both fun movies, but an Arnold movie always wins for nostalgia and the fact that I've seen it a dozen times and it's shorter. Instead of a single outing for survival in a set playground, the runner needs to make it to 30 days wherever the hell he get to. This allows a lot of dystopian future tech like drones and autopilots, and incentives for commoners and runners alike.

There are worse ways to kill 2 hours. Worth at least one watch.

‘Twisted Metal’ Renewed for Season 3 with New Showrunner

Start your engines for more apocalyptic fun, because Peacock has renewed “Twisted Metal” for a third season. David Reed (“The Boys,” “The Magicians”) is boarding the series as showrunner and executive producer. He replaces co-creator Michael Jonathan Smith, who’s exiting the show. Based on the classic PlayStation video game series, the high-octane action-comedy series was […]

#PredatorBadlands (2025)

Disney will be shitting out all kinds of Alien and Predator movies now that they have the rights, so what's the word on this one? From the same director as Prey, this one already seems like it's in capable hands. Killer of Killers was also decent for an animated film, so this guy clearly has a lot of ideas for Predator content.

Our story begins on the predator home planet, Yautja Prime. Dek is our main predator, and at an average human height, he's considered a runt. His brother Kwei kicks his ass and his father is so embarrassed by him that he wants him dead without giving him a chance to prove himself. Kwei thinks that's a bit harsh, so instead of giving him the mercy killing that dad orders, he kicks him off the planet so he can at least attempt to get his trophy. Dad doesn't like that one bit and kills Kwei, motivating Dek to get his trophy at all costs, then kill his dickhead father being such a massive cunt.

Dek is sent to Genna, also known as the "death planet". Everything is out to get him there. Even the fucking trees want you dead. Plants, animals, you name it. He soon encounters the upbeat Thia, half of a synthetic that's been somewhat crucified, and reluctantly decides to use her as a tool for his under-equipped journey through the badlands as he seeks out the kalisk, a seemingly unkillable creature.

I honestly had no issue with the predator's look. They wanted to differentiate him from your expected predator aesthetic, but you also have to consider that not all predators look the same. And if you think they do, then you're probably racist.

There's also a good reason Elle Fanny Fanning is only half a character in this. She's got a big ol' butt that would be too distracting if it was in the whole movie.

I like how they utilize Weyland-Yutani in the movie. They're still obsessing over bio-weapons, and they're finally focused on something other than the xenomorph. There are various synthetics in the movie, most of which are corporate henchmen, and there are also a few other interesting alien species in the film.

Dek learns a bit about humility and teamwork, the adventure is quite entertaining, and it's good enough to finally get Arnold interested in coming back. I'm assuming that will be in animated form as per the extended ending of Killer of Killers, but I'll take it.

As for the PG-13 rating, don't worry. There's plenty of "gore", but apparently, it doesn't count if it's against alien species and robots. Like in Evil Dead 2, the MPAA will let you get away with more blood so long as it's any color other than red.

@markus-san, you gotta tell me about that Neverland movie where Tinkerbell is a drug addict. 😆 I'm sure it's shit, but I gotz to know.

#DrGift (2025)

It's not rated low enough to be a turkey, but this movie is definitely a turkey. I'm a sucker for Danielle Harris in a movie, even if it's only a small part, and I swear, that bitch will appear in anything other than a good movie.

This movie starts out and you can immediately tell it's going to be garbage. But there are a lot of nice tits in the beginning. Then it gets really boring for a while as they decide to run a bed and breakfast. After about an hour in, Danielle Harris kills someone with a guitar and unleashes an evil cursed being that starts killing everyone.

She did this movie as a favor to someone, that's for damn sure, because it isn't doing her credibility any favors. In fact, her movies are usually so bad, I'm fairly confident that one day, I'll direct Danielle Harris in a movie. A man can dream. A man can dream...

Stephen Lang Thinks ‘Don’t Breathe 3’ Will Happen “To Make It Truly a Trilogy”

Stephen Lang is keeping hope alive for a third installment in the Don’t Breathe franchise. “It’s a way off, and it’s not a certainty, but I do think that we are all kind of crawling in the same direction,” Lang told Dexerto. “I know a lot of people would like it done within the structure […]

#DontBreathe2 (2021)

It's been a while since I saw the first one, which was a decent home invasion flick where the robbers get more than they bargained for when their blind target turns out to be a badass fully capable of destroying them all. Of course, he's no hero in that situation, because he was somewhat of an indirect rapist holding people captive and throwing himself a pity party over the loss of his family. An overall decent flick.

A few years later, they released a sequel, since the blind old man was still very much alive at the end. Here, we get a different story with him having a surrogate daughter that he rescued from a bad situation when she was really young. Despite the 5 year difference in the films, this one is set 8 years after the first one, and lo and behold, more shady folk are about to intrude upon the blind man's homestead with devious intent.

The movie starts as another home invasion plot, then turns into a kidnap and rescue mission. Without spoiling too much of the plot, it's safe to say that they turn the villainous blind man into a heroic figure. Normally, you'd root against him, but since the people he's targeting are such assholes, you'll find some glee in their downfall. It's violent and entertaining enough, and Stephen Lang kicks some ass.

Don't expect a part 3, but never say never.
