J.T. Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I'm off next week so I will be able to meet that deadline. I'll be at JMU visiting my daughter for Friends & Family weekend, so I'll have everything wrapped up before next Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Should have no problem with my pick. It is an interesting one and will knock at least two notches into my list of "never seen before movie things". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 i saw the year my selection was released and rolled my eyes. Then i actually looked up the movie and now i am excited. nice choice! can't wait to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Bonus Review: Mortal Kombat (1995) premise: three martial artists are manipulated into joining a to-the-death fighting tournament. they must do battle with super powered ninjas, a four armed giant freak, and ultimately a soul stealing, shape shifting wizard, with the entirety of Earth hanging in the balance. this movie kicks every ass imaginable. then punches every face, then rekicks the asses again. the characterizations are basic and one note, but who needs deep personal characters when there's asses to kick? the actors are wooden and unconvincing, but who needs presence and "it factor" when there's pulse pounding action to ram down throats? the storyline is plucked straight from the video game series, which in turn swiped it from Bruce Lee's 'Enter the Dragon'. they kept it simple, which was definitely for the best. Plus, who needs an elaborate plot when you can just add more maimings and violence? the special effects varied wildly. Goro's four armed appearance was pretty decent because of the practical effects. making Scorpion's spear a CGI creature was certainly a choice, but his untimely firey demise looked relatively good, so it balances out. the CGI Reptile creature was horrible but i can't say that i don't still have a soft spot for it. do i even need to mention the iconic theme song? i'm not a techno fan really at all, but the entire soundtrack works surprisingly well, since it just keeps driving along with the action. Notable quotes (we repeated these nonstop on the playground back in the day): "Your soul is mine" "Those were $500 sunglasses, asshole!" "Flawless Victory" tl;dr. not scary at all. fun if ridiculous martial arts flick tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Me and my neighbor across the street saw it when it came out and we HATED it. When you end up disappointing a pair of 14 year old kids with a video game movie then you got a problem on your hands. The only part I remember liking aside from the theme song was Scorpion's demise.

Now, the less said about the sequel, the better. what utter trash. i tried rewatching it a few years ago and found it even worse than i remembered.
