Jul 26 2007Domestic Dragon Wars Trailer Not as Much Fun
The domestic trailer for D-War/Dragon Wars (jeez, pick a title, guys) is out, and I have to admit that it's not nearly as intriguing as the teaser I posted a few months ago. On the plus side, it does have the bouncer guy from Knocked Up.
God, CGI has really ruined the B-movie, hasn't it? Remember when bad movies would have to use prosthetics, makeup, and goofy costumes, and have to shoot the scenes in creative ways to disguise their low budget and lack of locations? Not anymore! Thanks to the magic of computers, every crappy movie can have big city backdrops and video game-looking bad guys! Jeez guys, just 'cause you can doesn't mean you should. But then I guess asking B-movie makers to have taste and restraint is like asking Anne Hathaway not to have fantasies about me.

So it's not campy, but there's still some cheese to laugh at here. Like the driving shot that didn't match the pace of the chase shot before it.
Still, if people aren't laughing it could be because Hollywood hasn't come out with much original material in this genre lately.
I'll see it.

Does anyone here remember Boa vs Python? Much like the rest of the worlds B movies i did not actually see it i only saw the box at Hollywood video. This looks a lot like that.

I've seen this. I'm gonna be honest here and tell you the truth. This movie's pretty bad. I guess you could laugh at it but.. yeah pretty frustrating 95 minutes or so
