REVIEW: The Grey

The Grey is about an Alaskan oil drilling team that is involved in a plane crash. The survivors are quickly hunted by a pack of wolves that seems them as easy prey. Let me start by saying that this movie has some bad marketing attached to it. My initial thought when I saw the trailers for this movie was, Liam Neeson dancing with wolves in only a way that Liam can… With his fists covered in broken glass. Even after seeing this film I am very reluctant to tell people that this is not the case because I want people to still watch this movie. The Grey is so much more than an action movie. It is easily one of my favorite movies of the early 2012 campaign.

The Amazing Spider-Man Official Trailer

 

A lot can be said about the Spider-Man franchise. Emo Peter in the third film might have set the franchise back. I know a lot of people that question if this reboot was needed so soon. The guys here at Lost Level were split on the decision to bring Spidey back for another go. The fresh blood, and the darker tone set in this trailer has shifted my interest meter from ‘Meh’ to ‘Intrigued’. I think this film has some potential to kick some serious butt. I still don’t understand the need to promote this as the ‘Untold Story’, but if it helps with the marketing then so be it.

What do you think? Are you ready for another Spider-Man movie? Share your thoughts.

Episode 24 News… Adam’s Car Sucks

 

Sometimes life happens… Like the one time you meant to mow the lawn, but the football game was on. Or the one time you were on your way to pay back your gambling debts, but on the way you met Champagne, the stripper with a heart of gold. It’s happened to all of us a thousand times. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to record our podcast on time this week. I know, I know. I want to tell you guys a lavish story, full of adventure, and danger. I want to tell you that on the way to recording Adam fought a bear with his bare hands, and now the bear walks with a limp. That would make a great blog, but the fact of the matter is Adam has a hooptie. It likes to break down on days that we are recording one of the most important casts we have ever done… So feel free to give Adam grief for the delay in our cast.

New Dark Knight Rises Teaser Poster

The movie posters for all the Nolan Batman movies have been absolutely amazing. The latest poster is no exception. The broken cowl is such a powerful symbol, and something we haven’t really seen in a Batman movie. Batman has always been portrayed as the icon. Nolan boldly has built a trilogy on the man. After the break I give my idea of what The Dark Knight Rises will be about, This is based on what we know about the story so far, so you have been warned. Spoilers

Valentine’s Day Isn’t A Good Day… To Die Hard

So it’s Valentine’s Day, you’re with your significant other, and/or friend with benefits, and they want to go out for a nice romantic evening. Perhaps your idea of romance involves a little action. Luckily for you,  John McClane is at it again! (What kind of action did you think I meant?) You now have plans to visit Moscow, because John’s son is in some trouble over there. Explain to your significant other, and/or friend with benefits that John just has to kill a bunch of people, and cause a ruckus for just a couple hours, but after that it’s back to quality time…

If that doesn’t sound apprealing to them, then you should question your relationship with your significant other, and/or friend with benefits. Life is way too short to Die Hard. (Get your mind out of the gutter.)

A Good Day to Die Hard opens Febuary 14, 2013.

Who would you like to see cast as John’s son? Let us know.

Sony No Longer Paying For 3D Glasses

The Hollywood Reporter has said that Sony issued a letter to cinemas stating that it will no longer be flipping the bill for the 3D glasses for its movies. As of May 1st 2012 theaters will have to supply their own glasses for Sony movies. This would save Sony $5-$10 million per film. Many other studios have also begun to talk about doing something similar.

Chris posts a blog?

Wait? What?

Yep, I’ve neglected the blog section long enough. This week we decided on not doing a podcast because of the holiday, and well, Adam was hanging out in the woods again…  My performance on the last The Lost Level was to be desired, so I wanted to formally apologize. I blame lack of sleep, and lack of Guinness. I never realized just how important my precast ritual is, but wow…

Tuesday was the start of the gaming season with Resistance 3, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine, and Dead Island. Some people will say last week because of Deus Ex:  Human Revolution, but that game felt like it came out of nowhere. Sorry Deus Ex fans, it did.

REVIEW: Colombiana

Colombiana has the pedigree of great films, unfortunatley Luc Besson’s latest screenplay does little to capture the spirit of his previous work. La Femme Nikta and  Leon: The Professional were fresh, full of artistic style and imagination. Colombiana feels like a cheap ripoff of the genre he has created.
