Iron Sky

*Warning spoilers ahead*
Iron Sky is a low budget, sci-fi film about Nazis from the dark side of the moon invading Earth. Yes, it's a dumb as it sounds. However, the movie's so stupid, it's actually pretty funny. There's a great joke at the expense of North Korea, that I just love. Also, Vivian (Peta Sergeant) and Renate (Julia Dietze) are very sexy. The ladies are easily the best part of this failing of a story.

The special effects are to be commended. For a film of this budget, they are rather well done. The story fails on all accounts to be anything serious or remotely plausible. The dialoge is filled with cliches and horrible writing. This is a film you will never see on telelvision. I've seen made-for-tv movies with better scripts. An example of the horrible plot, the fact they inject a black astronaut with a syrum that makes him an albino and they say they've "made him Ayran." WTF?!?! Also, to sneak past some Nazis, Renate plays the national anthem and they all stop, mid activity and salute. Ugh.  Then there's where Klaus Adler gets stabbed in the forehead with the heel of a boot while being crouched down. He then gets up, stagers around and falls over dead. Ouch. But the biggest criminal in the acting category would be Stephanie Paul as the Sarah Palin inspired President of the United States. Some of the worst acting I've ever seen.

The horrible plot, dialoge and acting aside, this is a movie I would watch again. Mainly for the very attractive Vivian and Renate. Aside from them, this movie isn't worth the time really. At least it's not a boring movie. It is packed with some pretty good space fights.

The King's Speech

I've just watched The King's Speech. While I must say that I didn't expect to enjoy it too awfully much, I thoroughly loved it. Colin Firth did an exquisite job as King George VI. The acting is very well done. The little bits of humor throughout really add a little punch to the film to keep it from being to mundane and serious.

In this film, Firth really makes you believe that he's got a stutter. When he's preparing for the speech declaring war, he truly did a wonderful job appearing to be in the moment and in the role. Aside from Firth, the acting by the entire cast is well done and they should be commended for their efforts.
If you have two hours to spare, I really think you should watch this film. It's very well done and I think you'd enjoy it.

The Collector

So for this review, it will be The Collector starring a guy I personally know but haven't seen for several years, Josh Stewart. I must say that not only is this film dark in content but it's also dark in lighting. What was the budget, $20? And when I say that it's dark in content, I mean that this movie is 100%, Grade A fucked up. In an awesome, gory kinda way.

I'll start off by saying that the Collector himself is one sick and twisted individual, for whom there is NO chance of rehabilitation. Dr. Phil, in his Texas accent would even say "Son, you are one sick motherfucker." Personally, I don't think any real life serial killer would've thought of this sorta stuff. In fact, I would like to meet the individual that DID come up with it, simply so I could suggest they get some SERIOUS psychological help.

The acting is rather well done from a cast of lesser known and young actors. This film had me legitimately cringing. The one scene that made me cringe the most was when Arkin (Stewart) got his hand caught in the window by the razor blades. I also feel this part dragged on a tad to long. It would have been just as effective had it been a little bit shorter.

All-in-all a pretty damn good movie. Definitely not for the faint of heart as this is one sick ass movie. But if you're a fan of blood and gore, I recommend this film to you.
