Highlander II - DVD podBLAST




Once again, another movie that falls into the "could be considered the worst sequel of all time" category.

Problems:
Sean Connery's head has been reattached.
John C. McGinley does NOT sound like Orsen Welles. (Otherwise brings it)
Aliens. Including, but not limited to, Pigeon Assassins.
It's the podBLAST season finale.

Good:
Solid actors doing what they can with crap.
Virginia Madsen
BLASTers granted a 3-month leave-of-absence to recover.

Bad Boys II - DVD podBLAST




Hell yeah. Short of the Double Double Damme Damme and the two-part Pearl Harbor BLAST, here is the single longest BLAST ever. 63MB of BLASTin'.

But is it all BLASTin'? Did one of your very own turn to the dark side? Download and find out.

As for the movie... 2 hours and 17 Minutes of Michael Bay's signature, flat-lit, product-placed, lowest common denominator, quick-cut, plot-light, action "filmmaking".

Though it's never been checked, we think it's probably a cult classic with most coroners.

Blues Brothers 2000 - DVD podBLAST




whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhyWHY??

Arguably the worst sequel-to-original disparity in the history of cinema. This hunk of crap jumps the shark in so many ways that if we listed them all here, we might break the internet.

How Dan Ackroyd was able to round everyone up for this is a mystery. One suspects that no one asked to read the script first.

Suggestion: Dan, instead of showing your love of music and Blues by trying to reproduce the magic of the original Blues Brothers, do a documentary. Everyone expects those to suck.

BLASTphemers - if you're in the habit of listening to BLASTs without renting the movie, go out on a limb with this one. Some of the gasps you'll hear on the BLAST will make more sense if you're actually getting the visuals.
