MOVIE MARATHON
Our topic this month:
Genre Comedy
ARMY
OF DARKNESS"Of all the movies in the world that I would consider almost wholly quotable, Army of Darkness ranks right up there." -- Sara Paige
DEMOLITION
MAN"Where else can you see a naked Sly Stallone frozen in a giant ice cube, only to be awoken…in the future?" -- K. Burtt
GALAXY
QUEST"Galaxy Quest is a fun parody of all things fandom on one hand, and a great comic sci-fi film in its own right on the other." -- Rachel Day
SKY
HIGH"The kids make this movie. They’re real kids for a change, not smarmy thirty-year-old pretty-boys with pancake make-up and painted-on abs." -- Malcolm Matthews
SPACEBALLS"Clearly, we can’t grade this movie on the same curve as, say, Avatar, so, let’s put it in the category it belongs: an awesome cult-ish movie from a bygone era." -- Cathy Thomson
TEETH"The interesting thing for me about this movie is how much like Unbreakable it was... you learn about the hero and the villain before they become such." -- Sara Paige
Our topic next month: Video Game Movies. ('Cause... new Resident Evil!)
