Our first interaction with him is a bullet to the chest. Aside from character development and that annoying kid that I loved to hate, the movie shows off how cool aliens can be, unclear of what technology they might be using. Indicating how out of reach they are, and how miserable we truly are in the grand scheme of things. Sadly, the movie fails at having the message come across to the general public. As shown in this poster, what I’ve liked the best about the movie was how bad ass the giant “robot” was. The Day the Earth Stood Still is a clever reference to how the movie ends, but you should go read 13 WTF Moments From ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’ Remake that demonstrates many confusing and geeksome moments of the movie. [Spoilers] It’s clear that Jaden Smith doesn’t want to be a cute little kid as seen in The Pursuit of Happiness, I would of smacked him multiple times during the movie. I even dared to say that if he were to die during the movie Klattu should NOT revive him. If he wants to save the Earth he should start by getting rid of that one first. I digress, I love kids in general!

The original idea of the show is like the one of friends having a “couch discussion”, only they wanted to add a little more by filming in front of a green screen where they can have different contextual background and where Steve, the editor, can insert graphics and comments related to the discussion at hand.

This show is pretty much about all the stuff I like and talk about on this blog, a few times I’ve mentioned TRS (Totally Rad Show) with my reviews of Cloverfield and Shaolin Soccer. This show is one of the best you can watch on the web.

The best way to experience the show is to have a quick look at it, here is their latest release. You can visit their show page to access the various formats to download or to stream it.

The idea is simple, someone put up a website called KillWithMe where he streams over the Internet the slow death of a victim. The twist is that it’s actually the viewers that kill because the death is initiated by the viewing of the website. The more people that log on to see the torture, the faster the murder occurs. You would think that since the murderer is annonymous at the beginning and seems to know quite alot about how the FBI agents function there would be a big twist reveal of his identity. I guess they got bored with the mystery and decided to place the movie with an other direction where the bad guy decides to stalk and attack the lead investigator in the case.

The movie ends like a car crash with no clear resolution. Aside the conclusion that a lot of people on the Internet are cluless and very gullable. There are some really annoying product placement like Windows Vista being used on every computer and where every window looks like it’s a media player one. On Star joins the fun but proves that somehow a skilled hacker could break into your cars computer, lock you in and threaten your life. None the less, it’s not a boring movie, things are happening and you have the kind of involvement when you keep telling yourself why didn’t she do this or that.

Wait for it to go on TV, it might be worth it then. 6 out of 10 –
