VIS/Tropic Storm


im pretty stoked on them at the moment.


so anyway, visvims aside.
tropic thunder is a way hilarious movie:


this is what parody/satires should be like in my opinion. great acting from robert downey jnr.
because its a comedy, i'll look past the bad chinese spoken by the villains in the film and the even more humorous chinese spoken by robert downey jnr.

for those who dont know what the film is about:

a washed up action star who was big in the 90s (think van dam, stalone, seagal), a comedian (think eddie murphy, jim carey back in the day), a 5x oscar winner (think hrmmm... not sure, think of a REALLY good actor in lots of good roles), a rapper wanting to get into the movie business (icecube, ice-t, andre3000, methodman etc)and a new comer get together for the most expensive war movie ever made. the 5x oscar winner has surgery to get his skin darkened so he can play a black sargent in the film. however filming goes horribly wrong and the stars get lost in the jungle of china dressed in army fatigues. they are discovered by local militants and are mistaken for an invading american military and thus the humour begins.


i went into this movie not expecting too much, but i certainly got more than i expected. There were actually times where my brain actually though robert downey jnr was a black guy.

if youre still not convinced to go watch it, maybe the trailer might do alittle help. not the greatest trailer though

til next time, peace
