This looks quite bad- aspiringexpatriate points out the main cliches that Marshall is tossing into the blender here- but it's the kind of bad that I could watch and get a smirk on about such as Starship Troopers 3 and not the kind of bad The Fall or 10,000 BC are, because it's not trying to do anything but make killing some time pleasurable.

On another note: Mitra would have made a better Sarah Connor.

]]> <![CDATA[Girl-On-Girl Swordfight In The Plague Lands]]> you had me at "girl on girl"

it could have been a girl on girl chess match, and i'd still have clicked through.

]]> <![CDATA[Girl-On-Girl Swordfight In The Plague Lands]]> It's quite simply Escape From New York + Road Warrior + a non-zombie form of "escaping the disease" + willingness to make campy jokes + hot chick (who happens to be a good actress). Which quite simply, all of those ingredients should = awesome.

I was surprised to find out that the line "We're gonna find them, cook them, and eat them!" is a paraphrased line from Die Hard- Willis says it to the big unkillable German as he's pounding his face in.

Also, the trailer makes it pretty obvious that they quarantine Scotland. Not sure where the outbreak happens, but one would assume the same place.

Seriously - the word "Plaguelands" is actually used?

]]> <![CDATA[Girl-On-Girl Swordfight In The Plague Lands]]> No, no, it's not a zombie movie. It just looks like a remake of Land of the Dead by the guys who made Resident Evil.

I can!

"Thong! Fish is ready!"

I was looking forward to this but the cuts in the fight scene are already giving me a headache.

]]> <![CDATA[Girl-On-Girl Swordfight In The Plague Lands]]> Rhona Mitra should have played Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider movies, but then again I'm kind of glad that she didn't. Let Angelina Jolie have that stain on her career. I'm glad to see Mitra having a starring role in something, especially something SF or fantasy-related.

]]> <![CDATA[Girl-On-Girl Swordfight In The Plague Lands]]> Saw the trailer in the theater. On the list. Might even pay full price. Looks good.

]]> <![CDATA[Girl-On-Girl Swordfight In The Plague Lands]]> The country is Scotland, and that clip had such poor video quality I can't even make a sword joke about it.
