#UNDISPUTED 2 ACTORS MOVIE#
Back then there was this thing on the internet called “newsgroups” which was sort of like bulletin boards, and I would write crappy little movie reviews on the one called -films. įor some background, what year did you start reviewing movies? Could you talk about what led you to start up your site? You can order his book on Steven Seagal, SEAGALOGY, here. Vern writes in very slangy prose, so words like “websight” are not typos, but are his own invention. Vern has been a vocal (and very funny) supporter of the genre for years at Ain’t It Cool News and his own popular review site, sparking my own interest in them with his polemical call-to-arms in his write-up of The Marine 2: ““Some of us are starting to suspect that there’s been a switcheroo, that the DTV format – once designated as a 100% crap zone – has become the more reliable place to find good action movies.” The more I watch, the more I agree with him. This week, I chat with Outlaw Vern about the general state of DTV movies today, from its studios to its stars. And if not, they are over in 90 minutes or less.įor the next three weeks, I’ll be discussing DTV action movies, in the hopes of bringing more appreciative eyes to this last bastion of the B-movie spirit.
With no budget for CG, these cheap-o brawlers resort to showing actual humans moving in real spaces, often with jaw-dropping athleticism. While estimable writer-director Joss Whedon is sure to provide a witty quip or two, this is still a 142 minute movie about a gang of men (and a token woman) who wear molded plastic underwear. This 3D “spectacular” will cost upwards of $20, so I submit that your movie dollar is better spent on the humble direct-to-video action movie. The summer movie season is obnoxiously approaching, with long-form toy commercial The Avengers opening on Friday.
