Aaron and His Mom Get Wrapped Up in ‘Anaconda’

Gary: There's something down there.
Paul Sarone: I know.
Gary: No, I really MEAN it.
Paul Sarone: I really mean it, too.
[Note:  This is in no way a traditional episode of “Out Now with Aaron and Abe” and won’t even go to iTunes.  I guess that makes it an exclusive to my blog and at the Out Now Podomatic site, so enjoy.]

My mom and I are back with another recorded conversation concerning a random horror movie.  Previously, I recorded the mega-popular Human Centipede episode with her, as I felt that movie was far beyond my reach in terms of supplying an appropriate review by regular means.  As that conversation proved to be incredibly well received (far beyond what either myself or my mother could have comprehended) and because we had such a good time talking about it, I decided to take it upon myself to do something similar.  Judging by how much fun it proved to be again, I only hope to continue having these fun conversations with my mom, who was equally excited about participating.


Getting to the movie of discussion, my mom and I revisited the 1997 “classic” that is Anaconda, starring J-Lo, Ice Cube, and Jon Voight.  The two of us first saw this movie back when it was released in theaters and have seen it since, but Anaconda does stand out as one of the movies that began my mom and I’s tendency to catch fun and cheesy B-movies in theaters.  So after a recent trip to see my mom, I decided that Anaconda would be the follow-up film for us to discuss.  This lead to us rewatching the film and making the following recording afterward.  While we do get to talk about what we believe are the key elements of the film, there are of course times when we branch back off to The Human Centipede as well, so be pleased with our call backs and enjoy the show.  So now, if you’ve got half an hour to kill...

 
Denise Kalberg: How dare you? It was you who brought that snake. You brought the devil!
Paul Sarone: There's a devil inside everyone.
And in addition, here are some key lines and pictures from the film and mentioned in our conversation:

Paul Sarone: This river can kill you, in a thousand ways. 

Gary: You don't know shit about the shit we're in out here! 



 Paul Sarone: Please people, don't make me out a monster. I didn't eat the captain Mateo. 

Terry Flores: Snakes don't eat people.
Paul Sarone: Oh, they don't? 


Gary: Is it just me or does the jungle make you really, really horny? 



Warren Westridge: The last time I was in water like this I had to stay up all night picking leeches off of my scrotum.

Sex, Drugs, Car Chases – It’s Not High School, It’s ’21 Jump Street’

Image
21 Jump Street :  4 out of 5 Jenko:   Always one strap it.   Always So anyone that was hoping for the dark and gritty reboot of the 80s undercover cop drama 21 Jump Street in the same way that Michael Mann rebooted Miami Vice , they will be disappointed with what has actually been made.  Instead, this is a delightfully funny and wild take on that material, which is like a crack-addicted blend between John Hughes and Lethal Weapon .  This new take on 21 Jump Street maintains the same basic premise of assigning cops to undercover roles as high school kids, but ups the raunchy factor significantly.  The film is at times crude, but also a lot cleverer and more self aware than one would expect.  It is entertaining in a wonderfully over-the-top sort of way, with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum making for a great comedic team.

‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’ Tears Through The Floors And Hits Rock Bottom

Image
Texas Chainsaw 3D :   1 out of 5 Nikki:   Do you know anything about this place? Heather:   Just the address. Starting this year out on the right foot, the latest entry in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise manages to put Hollywood in a position to go nowhere but up.   I do enjoy my share of horror films and was happy to enter into this film with an open mind, but man is it terrible.   Given my love for the original film and my general fondness for the second, the idea of a film billed as a direct continuation of the original entry written and directed by Tobe Hooper was slightly intriguing.   Even in a post- Cabin in the Woods world, where horror movies can be boiled down to words on a dry erase board, I went for it.   The results were not good.   Texas Chainsaw 3D is not just a bad film, it is an idiotic one that literally cannot do basic math.   Read on to find out why.

The Homesman Is Surreal, Grim Stuff (Movie Review)

Image
The Homesman :  3 out of 5 Marry Bee Cuddy:  Come on, girls. How grim is too grim and when does it just start becoming a little humorous?  Earlier this year we had a novel idea for a film in the form of A Million Ways to Die in the West .  That film did not work for me overall, but the idea of making a western film that put emphasis on how terrible a time it could really be was a funny one.  Tommy Lee Jones’ second directorial effort, The Homesman , based on the novel by Glendon Swarthout, is a film that sits in grim territory, but pushes things so far that it becomes a strange sort of dark comedy.  The film has a large cast of great actors, but they all provide merely decent to good performances.  Hilary Swank stands out, but that makes sense, given that she does most of the heavy-lifting, with strong support from Jones to back her up.  Really, the film seems confused by how sprawling it could be versus how effectively poignant it may ...

‘Pain & Gain’ Is A True Story Of Bodybuilding Kidnappers Filmed Bay-Style

Image
Pain & Gain : 3 ½ out of 5 Daniel Lugo :   My name is Daniel Lugo and I believe in fitness. Pain & Gain is what it looks like when Michael Bay decides he wants to make a little movie, as opposed to another action epic.   The director known for making bombastic action blockbusters has taken a step back to make a smaller film based on a true story, but it does not mean he put his signature style in check.   Pain & Gain is very glossy film, gorgeous at times, and certainly not subtle.   It is also an incredibly dark comedy, with a story so ridiculous that it has to be true, and it is.   Based on a true crime story, this film does its best to depict what happens when seemingly good-natured crooks get in way over their heads and resort to drastic measures to achieve their American dream.   While Bay’s style can be grating for some, the mix of a strong cast and a messy, but compelling story makes this a film with a lot more going on tha...
