In an era of endless sequels and reboots, we have become increasingly tolerant of how far movie makers will stretch for an original idea. I suppose it’s up to movie audiences to tell them when they've gone too far. Nazis are invading from space? Ok.  It seems more plausible than Abraham Lincoln fighting vampires.  

Part of the fun of watching movies is seeing something that could not happen in reality. No matter if it’s due to the laws of physics or to the physical limitations of man, normal life is sometimes just too boring. That’s a major appeal of movies; escapism. Those of us that can’t come up with our own ideas pay to watch someone else’s come to life. Iron Sky is one such attempt to separate you from your money in exchange for preoccupying your mind for a few hours. The only difference »

Stars: Jett Bryant, Madeline Brumby, Paul McComiskey, Olivia Lacroix, Shane Morton, Johnny Collins, Nik Morgan | Written and Directed by James Bickert

Blame Quentin Taranino and Robert Rodriguez. Since their Death Proof and Planet Terror double bill, Grindhouse, named for the genre they were paying tribute to, surfaced in 2007, there’s been resurgence in cheap and cheerful exploitation and horror films. They generally involve copious amounts of gore, lots of exposed breasts, an illustrated montage poster and plenty of nods to the genre’s seventies heyday. Films such as Machete, Hobo with a Shotgun, Drive Angry, Iron Sky and to some extent Black Dynamite are all examples of the revival of the genre. Whilst to some extent, grindhouse never went away, it never got the kind of attention it currently enjoys and one imagines that a lot of films have been made since that never would have before. »
