Sissy: Hello movie fans! Today we go in bones deep with a big flick for a change! Yes, we've been a bit lazy, well... Eggbert has been lazy. It's all I can do just to get him to watch a 30 second trailer. Don't let today's movie title fool you, this is not a Winnie The Pooh sequel, it's an Enemy Territory frag flick from cointozz, showing off the supposedly mad skills of Finnish fragger, Tiigeri.
Eggbert: Actually you're sort of wrong there, since the intro is taken from Winnie The Pooh. I thought that was delightfully cute really. Because I have a big soft mushy heart you know?
Sissy: Yes, it's gone to shit from all the fatty foods you eat.
Eggbert: No really, I'm a sensitive sort. I cry during Hallmark commercials.
Sissy: Yeah, because you can't eat the actors.
Eggbert: True.
Sissy: I enjoyed the intro as well, it was something a little bit different. Getting down to the meat and potatoes thought, I thought the graphics could have been a little sharper. The editing was decent. The frags were nice. But of course the frozen Fins have nothing better to do than to hone their skills.
Eggbert: Ohhhh burn, you're supposed to be the nice one!
Sissy: Hey, I still am. I think this guy frags amazing for someone who has probably lost all of his fingers to frostbite!
Eggbert: ZING again! You're on a roll. I guess I can go home now, you can cover this one on your own.
Sissy: Stay put porky. Anyway, music... decent. Effects were okay, nothing special, but overall a pretty darned good movie. It's a bit weighty, but if you're a diehard frag flick fan then you'll want to give it a go.
Eggbert: Yes, and as the movie states... Everything must go. Including us, time to move on. I've got a pie in the oven. I give this big bad boy one boner up.
Sissy: Yeah, it's probably a bit on the long side really. Nice work, but one boner up from this bag of bones too.
Sissy: If the last movie was too big for your bandwidth then here's a very tiny trailer that you need to take a look at. It's only 11MB and the trailer by Beta and Kingel only runs for one minute, but it's a worthy minute! Frankly, it wasn't even a blip on the radar, I didn't expect to use it this week but after watching the trailer I couldn't resist.
Eggbert: And tell us why that is oh great Sissy the Zombie movie reviewer.
Sissy: Well Egghead, you raving jackass, it was just different. Very different from anything I've ever seen before really. It had that real movie quality to it. Like it was going to tell a story and not just be a compilation of frags. If they go in the same direction as the trailer then this movie could be the hit of the year.
Eggbert: Wow, that's some serious pimpage. But you're right, after watching the trailer I'm definitely intrigued. It's all very ominous with the soldiers walking through the woods, you almost expect an ambush, which could be the case given the wounded soldier at the end.
Sissy: Hey, it's only a minute long, don't give the whole thing away! There's not much more we can say here really, quality is good but it's really the ambiance and the way they set the scene. I have to say I have very high expectations for this movie now. I'd love to see something different done with this one, like I said earlier, the telling of a story really, rather than a bunch of random frags.
Eggbert: Ditto. Let's put a cap in its ass, one and a half bones up from this cat.
Sissy: I know it's just a trailer but it really got me, two boners way up! Don't disappoint us boys!
