Can Indy Flicks Save Movies? Indy Flicks Say “Yes We Can!”

Monday, November 3rd, 2008 at 12:12 pm by Jami

Angry Zen Minion Bart Bacon sent over a bunch of trailers for the Winter 2008-2009 movie season and aside from that third Underpants flick, they actually look quite good. So let’s dive in with some snap judgments.


Gran Torino - Silly Chinese gang bangers, don’t fuck with Harry Callahan!


Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans - Well, at least there are no UV bullets.


Push - *ahem* KANEEEEEDAAAAAAAA!!


Sunshine Cleaning - Only Amy Adams could make bloody crime scene clean-up endearing.


Hank and Mike - Debaucherous drunk Easter Bunnies ftw?


Filth and Wisdom - Ballet dancer turned stripper? Anorexic Pharmacist? S&M handlebar mustache man? Anyone surprised that this is Madonna’s directoral debut?

Overall, seems like a pretty entertaining bunch of flicks. I’m interested to see Dakota Fanning kick some ass as a telepath. Clint Eastwood is the only man alive who can say “Get off my lawn” and not induce fits of uncontrolled laughter. And I think Amy Adams is the only one who can make blood and guts and brain bits lovable.

Not so sure about the bunnies.

    Gran Torino looks good, UW3 I might check out I’m not getting my hopes up for it. PUSH looks interesting, but it seems like a giant rip off of heroes.

    I don’t know about anybody else but I find it really weird seeing Dakota Fanning older, when the hell did that happen. and I’d see Underworld just for the vampire werewolf fights.

    Ok I just took a look at the rest and I totally want to see Sunshine cleaning and Gran Torino, one last hard boiled Clint Eastwood movie and a quirky dark comedy sounds great.

    Gran Torino had me at “Get off my lawn.”
    Hank and Mike is already on DVD, and at No. 1 on my Netflix queue. So going to have to see that.
    Push and Sunshine Cleaning also added to the queue in case I miss them in theaters.

    I actually am fond of the Underworld saga, seeing as it was the first proper werewolf flick i saw, thus confirming the eternal truth that werewolves are infinately more badass than vampires. However, it gives vampires their own badassery in Underwold 2, which they sorely needed ever since they werent scary anymore. Anne Rice and now Stephenie (grrr) Meyer have basically cut their balls off. Now they just arent scary. Every male vampire appears to be a pale skinned Lestat ripoff.

    Push looks not so bad, though it seems to favour action and explosions over plot. Please people, for the be all end all of “scary telepath” films, it has to be Scanners, thank you David Cronenberg. Why oh Why can they never seem to approach the emotional complexity and delirious plots of similaraly structured anime series? Just cause someon can move things doesnt mean he has to turn into a psychic gun-kata assassin! Although thats pretty awsome.

    Gran Torino looks ftw. Seeing changeling, it looks like dirty harry hasnt lost any of his mojo.
