Ughh!

Lady Luck lights some scented candles and draws a hot bath for the soap opera disguised as a movie...Soda Springs.  Eden was arrested for killing people while drunk driving.  He returns to his hometown after serving his time to find his ex-wife remarried, his child playing baseball, his mother obsessively pining over his dead father, a pair of cops who take orders from a used car salesmen, and a ghost.  You got all of that?

My name is Odd Thomas

A clairvoyant detective of sorts fights a mallpocolypse and CG creatures call Bodeks.  Based off a Dean Koontz series of books, Odd Thomas dares to be uneven in tone, ignoring simple editing cuts, and yet still manages to be fun.  Lady Luck is making Zac and Biggs scratch their heads.

It's holding, Captain

When a megashark breaks out from an iceberg being towed by a tugboat to Egypt, the US military upgrades their mechashark to do battle with it.  Scientist Debbie Gibson also stars in Megashark vs Mechashark.  Seriously, Lady Luck?

Big uppercut by Martinez

Lady Luck really sucks right now.  She forces Biggs and Zac to watch the so-bad-it's-terrible movie Never Back Down 2:  The Beatdown.  It's so horrible that massive amounts of alcohol are consumed and the show is turned into a commentary just so that they didn't have to watch it and talk about it later.  It's the story about MMA fighters punching notebook paper.  No, really.

This is the village of Bakhtia in Siberia

Lady Luck decides to drop some knowledge on Zac and Biggs.  We review Happy People:  A Year in the Taiga.  This Werner Herzog documentary accounts for a year in the life of a trapper in Siberia.  We see him set traps, catch fish with a shotgun, abuse his dogs, and unwind with a spot of tea.  And all of this is under the shadow of bears--big...scary...evil...devious bears.  What else would you expect from the director of Grizzly Man?

As long as humanity has existed, there have been Others among us.

This week Lady Luck has lead us to the highest grossing movie in Russian history:  Night Watch.  The director of Wanted, Nine, and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter put together a big budget looking Hollywood style movie for 1.5 million dollars.  It's the tale of light vs. dark.  Good vs. evil.  Psychics vs. vampires.  This is a foreign film that you won't want to miss.
