  Off topic, but I had the weirdest friggin' dream last night, because the Cinema Snob character was in it. I can't remember the specifics, but I do remember one line:
  
  "What's that, my jokes suck? Of course they do, BECAUSE IT'S A DREAM" or something similar. I can't remember the rest of the dream, because I tend to forget most of them once I'm awake, but... damn.
  
  What. The fuck. I knew I shouldn't have watched his older shows before bed. I've lost my mind.

  Asylum has become the new Full Moon Pictures, no joke.
  
  I plan to go over the Full Moon titles, eventually.
  
  Still. "Almighty" Thor sucked royal Ogre balls.

  I know Alan Quartermain and the Temple of Skulls (DREAFULLY boring Asylum film, by the way) had a helicopter shot of the forest during the opening credits... in fact, I'm almost certain it was the exact same one from Alien vs Hunter.

  Oh Almighty Thor, or as I like to call it by it's alternate Italian title: "Richard Greico Walking".
  
  Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if they spent like 3 days just filming him walking around because they knew they needed padding.
  
  And it's pretty sad when Kevin Nash is the best actor in your movie.

  Seriously, Thor? Of all the superhero flicks to rip off, you pick Thor? Granted, I had almost the same reaction when I heard about the ACTUAL Thor film, but still.
  
  Why not The Dark Knight? Or any of the Spiderman movies? The Incredible Hulk was pretty good, why not rip that off? Iron Man? Hell, even Superman Returns seems better suited to a rip off. God sakes, even Smallville could have done with a good ripping-off. But they chose Thor.
  
  Mind. Fucking. Boggled.

     Thor's from Norse mythology so he's in the public domain, so they can legally call their movie "Almighty Thor" without Marvel/Disney suing them.

     Yeah, someone already did 'The Incredible Hulk', so Asylum probably felt the world wasn't big enough for two crappy knockoffs.
     
     Plus, the Asylum wedged Iron Man (or at least, Copper Man) into their Sherlock Holmes movie... The Snob did a crossover review with Obscurus Lupa which explains that one... sort of...
     
     Me, I'm looking forward to The Asylum doing 'Admiral Canada' in response to the Captain America movie!

  Funny thing that when you mentioned Tree of Life, I was thinking about the Terrence Malick movie with Brad Pitt and Sean Penn that just won the Palm d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

  My friends and I decided "Almighty Thor" should have been called "Richard Grieco Walking" since that dominated the screen time. It was as if his directions were, "Just walk, and look semi-awake, and we'll voiceover later."
  And Cody Deal was hilarious on Twitter during the initial showing of the movie. Very excited.

  Unlikely actors for the parts, most of them sound like they were just phoning in their parts... Could be worse I suppose, I'm just not sure how.

  You should watch and do a review of the other Thor Asylum movie! Thor: Hammer of the Gods! Get this it's a reincarnated human Thor that must fight... you ready for this shit!? WERE-fuckin'-WOLVES!!!! It was just cheesy enough to like that if I could find a dollarstore or cheap used Hasting's DVD of it I'd buy it! I believe it came on the same night as Almighty Thor on SyFy so you might've seen it already or could easily find it again on at sometime!
  I do like the soooo bad they're good Asylum Movies! And, I'm said to admit that I missed the last 30-45 minutes of this one!

  This isn't one of The Asylums best. But I love the fact that they're churning this stuff out and are generally hitting that part of my brain that rented cheapo movies and still doesn't care if the FX are convincing. And anyway Asylum aren't making Mockbusters, Hollywood is making big budget versions of The Asylum and old TV movies.

  I saw the movie and my main complaint was thor. Not the actor but the way they presented "almighty" thor. He was such a wuss that even I would be able to kick his ass. And this - at least - half hour of him and the chick with just this dialogue:
  Chick: "You need to train!"
  Wuss: "Bwuhuhu I want to fight"
  Chick: "He kicked your ass, you need to train!"
  Wuss: "Ok"
  Next scene: Wuss runs away, gets his ass kicked again, she saves him and another round of the same dialogue.
  FOR AT LEAST HALF AN HOUR... I really rooted for Grieco just because I couldn't take thor anymore.
  The whole movie is thor getting his ass kicked, failing at anything he tries and in the last 10 minuted he's suddenly good enough to beat grieco because he punched a "steel" hammer out of magma.
  And thor's brother was actually killed by kevin nash, because grieco gives nash the illusion that thor's brother is grieco and nash throws his spear and impales him. Thor actually gets his ass kicked by the "dog" and nash and his brother are just like
  brother: "I lost thor!"
  nash: "Bad boy... let's go!"
  This movie just sucks and is painful to watch.

  Thor...I never liked the comic. Green Lantern..has it moments but was too goofy. Who is next, the Geek? (hippy comic hero). Marvel was on the right track but its brining out so many so-so films little know characters they are ruining the market.
  The thing I hate is the "PG" rating. Why not make some "Vertigo" type/R rated films for the older consumer? They are missing a HUGE demographic.

  I watch a bit of it during it's premire on SyFy, and I already got a headache while watching the cinematography, the sets, the lighting, the effects, and the goddamn acting. Thank Odin I saw Marvel Studios' "Thor" both in 2-D and 3-D.

  Well that's the problem with mockbusters - you might get an original spin on another movie, or you might get characters walking around and talking for 80 minutes.

  Saw you mentioned 2010 Moby Dick. That movie's director, Trey Stokes, provided an unofficial commentary for it here:

  He provides a lot of insight to the unusual way The Asylum conducts business, if you're interested.
