SMALL SOLDIERS: WAR FOR THE NECRON.

Oh, do I have your attention? That would be the idea. I don’t know if this is a proof of concept for a SMALL SOLDIERS videogame, or a sequel to the first movie. Either is fine: I loved that flick, when it came out. I get why people didn’t, but I always thought it was a shame. I look forward to seeing what we’re going to get.

Movie of the Week: Con Air.

OK, sophisticated cinema Con Air is not. But it has John Malkovich in it, and you can sort of tell that John found the entire experience sort of restful, really. Sometimes it’s nice not to have to focus too hard on your motivation, know what I mean?

And so, farewell to Small Soldiers – which had much the same appeal, when you think about it.

Movie of the Week: Small Soldiers

I will not apologize for liking Small Soldiers:

This was a movie made for every eleven year old who looked at his parents’ garage, looked at his action figures, and sighed at the tyranny of adults. Plus, Dennis Leary, in the part of Deus Ex Machina.

So, farewell to It Happened Here, with a sigh of relief that, in point of fact, it did not.
