Ep 416 – Super Troopers 2 – KATG
*FILMS DISCUSSED: I FEEL PRETTY, SUPER TROOPERS 2, BEIRUT, EQUALIZER 2, LIFE OF THE PARTY, DEN OF THIEVES, MAZE RUNNER* Keith and The Girl are back! They give an honest review of I Feel Pretty. Chris liked Super Troopers 2. Graham was surprised by BeiruTrailersers are not great, but who cares when Infinity War is here!
The movie opens in 1985, with Flynn telling his 12-year-old son all about The Grid, Tron and Clu, then leaving for work and his fateful date with the Master Control Program. Just before he leaves, he tells Sam they’ll always be partners, foreshadowing the events to come and ensuring a scene where the now-grown Sam has to remind his father that he said they would always be partners. Sigh.
DetailsI saw a blurb about Kevin Spacey in this movie not too long ago that said something to the effect of “The kind of performance that made you love him in American Beauty.” That’s all fine and good, but that kind of fawning just seems like desperation to me. Like people should see this movie because it’s Kevin Spacey acting like he did in a movie you love.
DetailsThe Fighter is a story of a really cute guy and his crackhead brother. Tale as old as time.
DetailsThis is the kind of movie I hate to review. Why? Because it was great. Just great. What are you supposed to review? Blah, blah, blah, it was good in that way and this. Boring. Not the movie, the movie was great. Unboring. The review, that’s the challenge here.
DetailsElvis Presley was reportedly offered the role of LaBoeuf and–who knows–the film could very well have redefined Elvis as an actor. I think he’d have been great in the role. It only went to Campbell after Elvis’ manager, Colonel Tom Parker, insisted Elvis get top billing over John Wayne. IN A WESTERN! “Yeah, and after you sign that deal, get on the horn and book The Beatles to open for me in Liverpool!”
