The biggest surprise is that it wasn’t directed by Michael Bay. There were so many slow motion and moving camera shots that I swear director Sylvain White must’ve watched every Bay film before shooting. Nearly every scene is in broad daylight, which is a dead giveaway that the [...]]]> http://wehavebeards.com/2010/04/30/the-losers-lives-up-to-the-name/feed/ 2 http://wehavebeards.com/2010/04/10/double-feature-clash-of-the-titans-and-hot-tub-time-machine/ http://wehavebeards.com/2010/04/10/double-feature-clash-of-the-titans-and-hot-tub-time-machine/#comments Sun, 11 Apr 2010 00:27:31 +0000 Red Beard http://wehavebeards.com/?p=1233 CLASH OF THE TITANS Outside of my family I think I’m the only person I know who has seen “Clash of the Titans” from 1981.
