Remington & the Curse of the Zombadings (2011)

A homophobe turned gay?

This was so silly, but I didn't hate it or anything. Although I wanted Remington and Jigs to be together, it didn't make sense for him to stay cursed. I mean, he was originally straight, and forcing him to be gay through a curse is fucked up, even if it was karma at its best. I don't know how to feel about the representation of gays. They didn't negatively portray gays, but I thought it was stereotypical. Almost all the gay characters were feminine and very loud about it. Not all gay people are flamboyant, sassy, and humorous. I guess the ending was cute. The little boy's words were sweet, and he acted respectfully compared to the way Remington acted. It was obviously purposefully done. Anyway, this was not a cute BL. It wasn't even really BL. Yes, there were gay characters, and Remington and Jigs did have a little moment, but ultimately Remington wasn't gay, when not cursed, you know. Also, I liked the villain's fate a lot. It was very ironic. Remington's dad's sacrifice was quite interesting, and once again, ironic.

The movie didn't excite me at all at first, it's just stupid. However, it wasn't just stupid (I wanted to give a rating of 2), it's second stupid, and suddenly the film, which won two wins and 9 nominations at various film festivals, didn't bother me so much anymore, on the contrary, I started to feel that even the actors kidding ourselves. The story of the "transformation" of Remington (nice Martin Escudero) got me gradually, and the dismembering monsters were a lot of fun, so in the end...satisfaction, it's just a shame about the poor quality of the copy.

Film mě zezačátku vůbec nenadchl, prostě blbina. Jenomže to nebyla pouze blbina (chtěl jsem dát hodnocení 2), to je blbina na druhou a najednou snímek, který získal dvě vítězství a 9 nominací na různých filmových festivalech mě už tak nepříjemný nebyl, naopak, začal jsem cítit, že i herci si dělají srandu sami ze sebe. Postupně mě chytl příběh "přeměny" Remingtona (sympatický Martin Escudero) a ty pitvořící se obludy byly hodně k smíchu, takže nakonec ... spokojenost, škoda jen nedobré kvality kopie.
