Up first is Iron Sky Director's Cut. I'd seen it, a few weeks ago, but I didn't mind watching it again. Greg hadn't seen the movie at all and a couple of the other fellows hadn't seen the longer version. You can read my 2012 post about seeing the movie for the first time and the 2014 post about seeing the Director's Cut. You can see the early work of the Producer and Director here.
Our other movie was a crappy film about a virus outbreak in a government building called The Terror Experiment. The DVD company packaged the individual DVDs from single releases in a four pack of zombie movies that, so far, seems to be making a liar of the packaging. A terrorist explodes a bomb in a building and it unleashes a chemical agent that infects people and makes them irrational, frightened and angry. They try running away and attack anyone who gets in their way. So you have some people in the building that aren't affected and a bunch that were. Then you have the cops, firemen and federal agents all hanging around outside. C Thomas Howell plays the Captain of the firemen, Judd Nelson is a Government man and Robert Carradine is some kind of scientist. Jason London plays the guy who's wife and kid are in the part of the building that have been infected. There's plenty of characters with different personalities who get picked off one by one. Most of them can't act very well so that's a mercy. For us, not the characters. The script isn't very good, crappy dialong and stock scenes. The CGI is fair to poor, the sound awful, and at 82 minutes they find time to be dull. Not something anyone needs to see. You should avoid it.
