Wait a second.

Is this only now coming out in American theaters?

Regardless, I missed this in theaters in Canada, unfortunately, but I think it's on DVD now. I'm already looking for it on that for cheap, so...yeah.

 

[VanillaBean]

Yeah Rocksteady really screwed that one up, but anyways at least the film is good and I'm pretty sure its already out on DVD.

 

[Strain42]

I'd heard a lot about this movie, and was interested by it. You make it sound fairly decent, so maybe I'll check it out after all.

 

[Wilko316]

This looks really fun, not enlightening or morally gratifying but just wacky silly fun.

 

[PsychedelicDiamond]

"Updated, quasi ironic tributes to High School Musical"?

I'm actually kinda feeling that idea. Oh, by the way, not gonna watch "Hobo with a shotgun" I'm part of a generation that probably wouldn't get it.

My favorite movie to come out this year... and it wasn't even in theaters! I had to watch this thing on PSN. Next week Bob should review Rubber.

 

[orangeapples]

To be honest, the title alone makes this movie at least an 8/10 on anyone's scale.

Well, as a fan of Rutger Hauer, I was almost expecting some sort of Survival Run (That is, Soldier of Orange, the greatest resitance movie of all time) joke, but, meh. Didn't get any, din't miss it. Am I planning on seeing this now? Nope. I'd ruther go to see DotM, unfortunatly.

 

[ConnorCool]

Hang on, you liked Mall Cop? I couldn't even finish that film.

I will however check out Hobo, sounds good.

Why do you ignore comedies bob? Sure Zookeeper would have been shit, but Horrible Bosses is getting decent reviews and I would have liked to see your views on that. You seem to always duck out when there's only comedies opening in theaters. Why is that?

 

[Will Chandler]

Ha! I knew they weren't going to get Robin by without you getting a word in.

 

[Woodsey]

So... that Robin's a douche because he has a buzzcut?

 

[the spud]

My god...what did they do to robin?!?

He looks like the silver surfer and some emo kid had a baby.

OT: I probably won't get around to seeing this one, seeing as I did't grow up watching the films it pays homage to.

 

[Sepiida]

Bob, this is one of your best reviews in awhile.

Excellent summary of the merits and/or negative points of the film. Check.
Interesting tidbits about cinema history. Check.
No calling members of your audience idiot/douchebags/retards for disagreeing with you. Check.

Seriously, stuff like this is when you're at your best. Good to have you back (at least for this episode.)

 

[Grey_Focks]

Awww, was hoping for a review of Horrible Bosses. That looks like it could be pretty good, atleast based on it's cast. Still, as a Rutger Hauer fan who was unaware of this movie, I thank you for bringing it to my attention.

I saw this movie a few weeks ago after a friend told me about it and raved about it. Said person is very into his horror and grindhouse movies. I've never seen a grindhouse movie before this one and overall I don't think it's my thing.

Hauer did a fantastic performance in it for sure, but some of the other actors were flat. The cheap gore effects (and I know they're meant to look like how they did) just bored me. It's not that I'm a massive fan of extreme gore anyway, but when it's clearly some construction paper and glue filled with red paint, I yawned.

Overall I watched it through and it was enjoyable with some cool shots and one great performance. But grindhouse, it aint for me.
