Your Highness - How Many Dick Jokes Can We Fit in This Thing?

Your Highness

I don't want to suck it, you suck it

Year: 2011
Director: David Gordon Green

Netflix Link: movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Your_Highness/70125550

We picked this one up looking for a funny fantasy adventure, but got so much more than we expected. It's bad...  Really, really bad.  Don't get me wrong, we did enjoy it, but it's kind of like watching a train wreck.  You just want to see how it all works out.

Priest - Forgive me father Yadda yadda yadda I'm in a sucky movie

Priest


But it's better than BloodRayne

Year: 2011
Director: Scott Charles Stewart
Overall Rating: 2 stars
Rewatchability: You've already seen it.
Netflix Link: Priest
The 3D is decent, but the movie is nothing special.. It's tolerable for your standard post-apocalyptic vampire movie, but a masterpiece it's not.

After truly enjoying his last two films, I really thought that Nick might be on a roll.  I was wrong.  With this one we're back to the same plodding movies I expected.
After bailing on the crusades, he and a friend are hired by the church to transport a suspected witch to the only monastery that can handle the problem.

Have you ever wanted to see things from the zombies point of view?  Well now's your chance!  This little piece of low-budget indie cinema turned out to be quite a surprise.

When a military experiment to create new "super soldiers" goes horribly wrong, they attempt to dump it in the bay. Of course there is an accident along the way and a barrel of the stuff ends up infecting four friends.

Take 3 old guys, send them back to the '80s and you've got a movie you watched before...  IN THE '80s!

90% - Standard '80s flick (snow lodge, ski patrol, love interest)
 5% - Look how much better everything is now that we made better choices.

Alice is back!  This time she must battle Agent Smith for control of the Matrix.  Oops, wrong movie.  It's so easy to get confused.

Is this a movie, video game, or just another 3D tech-demo?  I really can't tell for sure, but at least all of the blatant 3D moments are presented in slow motion.  I wouldn't have wanted to miss one.
