Iron Man 2 (2010)


Well, here it is. The 2010 sequel to the 2008 sci-fi action blockbuster starring Robert Downer Jr., Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke.

Mickey Rourke is BADASS!

It's a no-brainer. A lot of over-the-top action. A lot of jokes that don't make you laugh. I didn't even smile once during the whole movie. Some of the humor goes even to the border of being embarrassing. But it's still a quite entertaining movie. The actors do a quite good job and the action is exhilarating.


What did you expect from a Formula 1 race in an Iron Man movie?


The story is VERY stupid. Iron Man drives F1, gets drunk, throws a party and in the stupidest scene he finds a new element from a very unlikely place... After which he builds some sort of high-energy laser, points it at some triangle, and the triangle turns into the newly-found element.

Forming chemical elements unknown to modern science is sweaty work.

I give it 3 stars. It's OK entertainment, but don't expect anything deep from this one.

Enemy Mine (1985)

Enemy Mine is a flick from 1985 based on a novella of the same name by Barry Longyear and directed by Wolfgang Petersen. In the future, humans have gone to war with an alien species called the Drac. A fighter pilot played by Dennis Quaid crashes on some planet while fighting the Drac and finds himself stuck with his worst enemy, a Drac warrior. The planet is hostile and they have to team up if they want to survive. This pit monster looks quite lame at first, but turns out nastier than expected... Peepin' on lizard aliens... Dracs are ugly mothers... So it's a classic friendship story, with a strong anti-racist message. The movie is quite predictable, and the story seems older than life itself. But still, at times the movie surprises you - because you don't get what the filmmakers were thinking! Many times I was thinking to myself "now why did that happen?". "Why did those frozen trees start falling all of a sudden?". The visuals are

Starcrash (1979)

Starcrash. Wow. Now this is a classic, at least in my books! Directed by Luigi Cozzi under the pseudonym Lewis Coates, this low-budget italian gem from 1979 really hits the spot! Screened two years after the first Star Wars movie, the film obviously tried to tap into Star Wars' success. Some things are straight rip-offs, like the overly polite robot companion. But this is entertainment at a different level than Star Wars is. This is pure cheese! A spacecraft that looks like a moth shoots lasers at a giant robot's tits. The plot: there's the good guys and there's some bad guys, and the good guys must kick the bad guys' ass. I don't really remember anything about the plot, but it's really not that important. Instead the film is full of classic moments. You get a lot of stupid outfits, a lot of cleavage, you get the Hoff, you get starships shooting torpedoes that have soldiers inside them, a lot of crappy effects, a lot of colors and psyched

This blog is about sci-fi movies. But it's not going to be your average blog. There's going to be blood. Tits. A lot of B-movies, some stinkies. But a lot of good ones too. I'm going to review them according to my own taste. Criticism is welcome anyway, please comment! ZF
