Movie vs Movie

Posted in Midnight Movie Club by - May 05, 2010

It’s Dan’s turn to fly solo this week as various scheduling problems meant that he and Lee were unable to meet up. If that weren’t bad enough he’s also roped in someone who is even more incompetent than him, Ian from the blog Single Parent Dad.

So instead of Lee and Dan’s unique and pithy insights into Highlander you have to sit through Ian and Dan’s incoherent blatherings about clone movies (that’s films that were released the at the same time and which, apparently accidentally, have virtually the same plot).

Ian and Dan discuss:

  • Bugs Life vs Antz
  • Turner and Hooch vs K9
  • Dantes Peak vs Volcano
  • Finding Nemo vs A Sharks Tale
  • Saving Private Ryan vs the Thin Red Line
  • Independence Day vs Mars Attacks
  • Madagascar vs The Wild
  • Armageddon vs Deep Impact

And make sure you stay tuned to the end to hear our special surprise guest.

Play

Next week Highlander, we promise.

By day Dan works as a community psychiatric nurse. By night he mainly sleeps. But when he's not doing either of those two things he does a bit of gardening, walking, and movie watching. However mainly he wastes time tinkering on the internet. He lives in Yorkshire, England with his wife, three children, and a flock of megalomaniac chickens.

  • At the risk of siding with an idiot, I gotta say I like Deep Impact more, for precisely the reasons that Dan dislikes it.

  • You are pretty much taking that risk whichever way you go.

    I’m for Deep Impact over Armageddon too… it had more soul I think, if that makes sense with this type of movie!

  • Lee

    Armageddon had two of the most awesome kick ass space shuttles ever and only two weeks in which to deal with the threat – Deep Impact had two years to deal with it and they only sent one space shuttle?!?!?

    • @Lee, Which makes Armageddon the A-Team of these movies (with two vans).
