As part of another filmmaker who's signature style we get to study, we reviewed screenwriter Zak Penn's virtual reality themed movie trilogy: LAST ACTION HERO, READY PLAYER ONE and FREE GUY.
Why is the first film gone from the butt of many jokes to the perfect Hollywood insider satire? What similiarities does it share with other meta-comedies Purple Rose of Cairo, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and even UHF? And what are some of the best one-liners?
Why is the second film actually fun on its own terms despite being based on an infamously hackneyed book? What easter eggs to MINORITY REPORT does Spielberg insert? Why did most of us not see it given how bad the trailer for it was?
Why is the villain in FREE GUY so similar to other evil movie CEOs from GREMLINS 2 and ROBOCOP? And how do these films deal with themes of virtual reality effecting the hero's actual humanity?
Plug yourself in to some immersive worlds that defy any kind of reality and come game with us!
