Movie of the Day – TrollHunter

April 12, 2012 4 Comments

Keeping this Scandinavian film train running, this time we head to Norway for some troll hunting.  Much like the previous movie of the day, I enjoy a good twisted take on certain established folklore or stories.  This time, it is all about trolls and not like the one that Ernest fought in that movie “Ernest Scared Stupid”.  These trolls are the thing of legend from Mountain trolls and Forrest Trolls, this is pretty much the best thing in the world.  I have been to Norway and was sadden by the lack of trolls that I saw and since this is a found footage film, they exist cause Hollywood wouldn’t lie to me and show fictitious things.  Would they?

Movie of the Day – Dead Snow

March 21, 2012 2 Comments

I haven’t done a zombie film in a while and since coming off of the season finale of The Walking Dead, what better way to continue the high of zombie-ness than with a balls out zombie flick.  I got to hand it to those crafty Norwegians with their beautiful country, beautiful women and beautifully wacky films.  If you have never seen Troll Hunter, that is a must for any film fan, but while mythical trolls lumbering around the country side is appealing and downright ridiculous, Dead Snow brings us Nazi zombies.  Yes those dastardly WWII villains are now zombified, thus making the act of slaying them all the more sweeter.

Trailers of the Week – Real Steel and Troll Hunter

May 14, 2011 Leave a comment

Missed my update on Friday, so here it is coming at you today.  Real Steel and The Troll Hunter.

Real Steel:

They finally did it.  They made my dream of a Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots movie come to life.  This is basically Rocky but replace with robots.  Done and done.

Troll Hunter:

Oh my god yes!  Those crazy Norwegians and there plague of giant trolls.  I expect that this is more of a documentary than anything else, since I don’t know much about Norway even though I traveled there several years ago.  I honestly don’t know what to think of this movie/trailer other than this looks like a fucking fun ride.  When the trailer tells you that the trolls can smell Christian blood, it can  only get more ridiculous from there.  Although, perhaps trolls can smell Christian blood and this could be a more informative movie than we might give it credit for.  Anyways as soon as this is available to watch, I am going to open up a six-pack and bask in the glory of the movie.
