A Note...

... to our loyal readers.

Guy is in Sweden, currently, and Girl is in Canada. No, we did not split up, as one of you has commented, but we do come from different sides of the world and this tends to happen when you are stupid enough to get involved in a long distance relationship.

So! To those of you who are expecting this website to be kept up to date on a regular basis (even after the fact that this has never happened so far), you will be disappointed.

But! We will try to watch the same movies, and we will try to write reviews about them at some point, then try to post those reviews on a semi-timely basis... maybe.

Some of you may call this a stilted promise, but we just call it reality. Unlike Lindsay Lohan, we have our feet planted firmly in it.

UNDER THE MOUNTAIN

Guy’s &$^@#=*!!!


What shitty, shitty mess. I think that if you make movies that requires special effects then you should go around and as for a budget so you can do it right. Everything in this movie when it came to that, actors, costume and story was just way, way, way off. I saw “Black Sheep” this directors earlier project. That was funny and unique. Maybe he saw that Peter Jackson made a bunch of money with fantasy in New Zealand and he tried to follow that trail. The difference is that Peter Jackson made the LOTR trilogy and this guy got some crappy book about redheaded twins that can shoot fire from a stone.


That’s what this movie is about. Twins, firestarters, aliens with tunnels that go underneath the earth (they have wormlike tentacles inside of their arms) and the end of the world. Pretty much tripe in general. I didn’t really follow the movie that well cause I was surfing IMDB to see if there where any other fantasy movies in production. I just wanted to see if there was anything that could even get close to LOTR in the near future that can erase this movie out of my mind.


Guy’s Rating: I’ll rather get the plague then watch this again.


Girl's less harsh review...

This movie was fairly bad, although the plague is worse, in my (and I think everyone else's) opinion. Something about twin Aussie fire crotches taking the screen to hold stones that give them more fire power than they already had in their fierce hair... I don't know why Sam Neil took this part, but I'm guessing he just takes the paycheck and runs from the criticism.

I guess this movie would be considered a children's story, but even a child would find this embarrassing to watch. The villains might look evil, but their one-liners could not hold more cheese if you tried. It's almost laughable if it didn't hurt so much to watch.

Girl's Rating: Fantasies like these give the genre a bad name.
