I was thinking yknow, both of the guys (JCVD, Lundgren) from the first one being in this, could be an alright watch...it wasn't BAD bad, but yeah I wouldn't suggest watching it if you're after a remotely decent plot, or like acting, from anyone. Dolph Lundgren seems to be a pointless addition *spoiler* gets taken out far too easily and has none of the presence he had in the first film...in fact, his cloned character in this is little more than a babbling retard it seems they have one alright fight though...I guess... The thing that I find a little bit annoying is that it seems no way related aside from recycled names, to any of the previous films...ignoring where the first film starring JCVD left the character, even ignoring "the return". It almost felt like a UniSol fan-fic. If you're after mindless action, something to watch while pissing up perhaps, this isn't that bad a direct-to-video effort...though if you ask me they even did the first "sequel" years too late, this only drives that home.

What would ya call it then? Not questioning ya as i am not by any means an expert and am learning to pigeonhole flicks whenever i can. The main reason i called it that was b/c there was a fair amount of boobs being exposed from tops being pulled down. The only thing i know for sure is to not ever call anything torture porn as that term tends to set people off, probably from a Manchurian Candidate-like brainwashing experiment done in the 80s. Late.

I guess I'd file House By The Edge Of The Park under the Rape/Revenge subgenre of exploitation. Sexploitation is more lighthearted IMO but that's just me call shit what you want :)
Have to check that one out. What you mentioned about Lundgren sounds disappointing I was hoping for him to be like the original characterwise. |

Outlander
Was not expecting anything, Totally forgot this was even on my Netflix queue and it sat on my desk for 2 weeks. AWESOME I was moved emotionally by Kainan's loss and even the moorwen had my sympathy for a bit. Was waiting for a nasty sex scene between Freya and Kainan but very glad they didn't put that in - totally crackled with sexual energy between the two. Tons of kicking ass with broadswords and splattering blood:D This is also a great buddy flick. A man coming into a tribe as a criminal and in the end a husband, father, friend and King. The relationships between Kainan, the King (played brilliantly by John Hurt) and Wulfric was well played.The boy was adorable and tough and needed to be there because of the loss of Kainan's son on his planet by the Moorwens made a great dynamic to this story and added so much emotion. Also to note: check out Ron Perlman as Gunnar-I didn't even recognize him until the credits. His death scene-outstanding!! Very underrated IMHO and I am glad I saw it. Mutilayered, action, love, swords, blood...AND a monster. I was completely lost in the story and was sad to leave it at the credits. Everything I love about a movie:cool: |

Dolph looks pretty damn old - funny, he looks more the part of the punisher now than he did back then.
