Highlander 2 vs. The Prophecy 2

Today we pit Virginia Madison sequels against each other.  Highlander 2 is the tale of immortals that can only die by getting their heads chopped off doing battle again.  But this time they're aliens, coming back to life, and fighting under a sky roof.  Never mind, it's complicated.  The Prophecy 2 has Christopher Walken reprising his role as Gabrielle, still determined to wipe humanity off of the Earth.

Revenge of the Green Dragons vs. The Blue Room vs. Dear White People

We break up the formula for one week.  Today Zac and Biggs offer reviews of three independent movies in theaters right now:  Revenge of the Green Dragons, The Blue Room, and Dear White People.

Jersey Girl vs. Zack and Miri

This week we have two under-appreciated films of Kevin Smith.  Ben Affleck loses his wife, and has to raise his daughter with only the help of his father (George Carlin).  But perhaps the most difficult thing for him is to put aside his old life for the new one in Jersey Girl.  Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks play best friends who consummate their relationship while making a self produced internet video (you know the kind) in Zack and Miri.  

This Is 40 vs. Defending Your Life

Today we explore two films starring the immortal Albert Brooks.  This is 40 is the story of...well...being 40.  Defending Your Life is about people dying and trying to move further into the afterlife through a courtroom setting.  Both are funny.  Both have wry observation.  Only one will make it to the mountain top.

Pirate Radio and Radioland Murders

The BBC has strict rules about playing rock and roll on the air so a group of DJs broadcast rock from a pirate ship in:  Pirate Radio.  A voice cuts into the first broadcast of WBN , and cast members wind up dead in the comedy/mystery movie:  Radioland Murders.  Only one will survive.

Double Dragon vs. Super Mario Brothers

Two video game movies from the nineties face off today.  Double Dragon takes place in New Angelos in the future year of 2007.  The Lee Brothers take battle against the Shadow Demon (Robert Patrick) with help from their friend Marion (Alyssa Milano).  Super Mario Brothers is the story of two different brothers (Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo) try to save a princess from King Koopa (Dennis Hopper) and other dinosaurs.

Highlander vs. Mortal Kombat

It's a Lambert-off.  First, Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, and Clancy Brown are immortals killing each other until their is only one left because...well...there can only be one.  From the bowels of the eighties comes Highlander.  Next, Christopher Lambert plays Rayden, a God who decides that maybe mankind being annihilated is a bad idea.  So he sponsors man in a fighting tournament based off of an arcade game.  Even gods have to get inspiration from somewhere.
