BATMAN v OPTIMUS PRIME: A REVIEW

By Perry Twinkle

Last weekend I was in for a big surprise at the Pennycraft Theatre. The reason I was surprised is because when I purchased my movie ticket I honestly thought I was signing up for a carpentry class. Instead, I'm told I was among the first to see the big new movie Batman v Optimus Prime: Dawn of Just Dance. Supposedly it's the first in a series of superhero street-dancing movies. Whatever. The characters and acting in this one were atrocious, and that's if I'm being generous. The only exception was Mr. Freeze, played brilliantly by an almost-unrecognizable Ernie Johnson (Inside the NBA). But as bad as the rest of the cast was, the dialogue was somehow even worse. For example, I was confused by Lois Lane's repeated use of the term "hot balls." As in, "Go ahead, Superman, but building a water slide in the backyard isn't exactly my cup of hot balls." To make matters worse, Galvatron constantly misused the word "literally" and downright abused the word "cereal." As in, "This wedding rehearsal is literally a train wreck. I am dead cereal." That's an actual line from the movie! To be fair, I'm not familiar with that character. But he is a giant, sinister-looking robot and he sounded like my obnoxious tweenage niece Abigail. (OMG. Hi, Abigail, if you're reading this!) Although most of the performances were unwatchable at best, this may have been in part due to the casting. I had trouble believing Superman or Batman, played respectively by Daniel Dae Kim (Hawaii Five-0) and an over-the-hill Joe Perry (Aerosmith). Furthermore, I disagreed with the decision to portray Lois Lane in CGI, even if she was voiced by the usually-fabulous Allison Williams (Peter Pan Live!). As a final note/complaint, are we really supposed to believe that NO ONE would recognize Optimus Prime when he takes off his glasses to "transform" into Truck-Man? I don't mean to sound like an enormous B-word, but that part was just dumb. All in all, I suppose the movie could have been worse. But it also could have been a lot better. It certainly wasn't worth the $160 I paid to see it. If you want my advice, stick to adult ed community classes no matter what the ticket vendors tell you. I know I will!

ZOOLANDER 2: A REVIEW

By Marco H. Marco

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Zoolander 2 with my great-aunt Estelle, who is 4 years younger than me. The stage was set for enchantment, as it was my first time visiting Záhrada, the premier rooftop garden theater in all of Prague. If you haven't, you simply must. Now, as many of you know, creating a successful movie sequel is like designing an iconic Spring Collection: Many have tried, few succeed. But, as an American might say, Zoolander 2 knocks it out of the park. Like a soccer ball. You must believe me when I say this movie has the heart of a Tibetan gladiator and the playful, elf-like humor of a young Eskimo princess. And that is not to even mention the fashion! To stitch words onto the fabric of such beauty would be to do the World of Form a sad injustice. Truly. Instead, treat yourself to a new wardrobe and see Zoolander 2 at your nearest rooftop garden theater. Because that, my beautiful friends, spells "luxury."

Five stars.

ENDORSEMENT 14

A lot of people spend their life savings trying to figure out if crocodiles have pubes. But not me. I've been studying crocodiles firsthand my entire adult life. And aside from the initial purchase of the crocodiles, my money stays where it belongs: in my pocket. Unless, of course, you factor in the cost of sheltering and feeding the crocodiles. But that's it. The rest of my money stays put. Except, I suppose, there are the occasional medical expenses whenever one of the crocodiles gets injured or sick, which is surprisingly often. And, in the rare event that you should ever have to bankroll a crocodile funeral, all I can say is watch out. No one prepared me for that. Look, full disclosure: I've spent my life savings trying to figure out if crocodiles have pubes. And all I'm asking for is a generous donation of hard cash and additional crocodiles so as I might continue this important line of research.

Crocodiles. I'm not sure if they have pubes.

INSIDE OUT: A REVIEW

By Marco H. Marco

This morning over breakfast I had a beautiful and powerful experience. For the first time I viewed Pixar's Inside Out movie, and with a tidal wave of emotions I cried. That is right. In my tight little cutoff t-shirt with my non-dairy caramel-pecan latte, I cried like a little European bitch boy. What can I say? If you haven't already, you must put on a new outfit and see this movie. I will think of it with focused admiration the next time I design a collection of high-end women's footwear. And that, my beautiful friends, spells "luxury."
