The Sky Has Fallen (2009)
Incredible FX!
The acting was a little flat sometimes, but the FX were absolutely fantastic! Guts ripped out, sword hit to the face, arm torn off, etc. You have to see it to believe it. It was brutal. I wish there was less talking but I still loved it. It is an indie after all so it's not like they had millions of dollars or big Hollywood stars. You get great FX in nearly every scene though. I'm really surprised more people haven't heard of this movie. I think the girl was better than the guy but I get the western antihero vibe they were going for. He just couldn't pull it off that well. There was a lot of samurai sword action, and it was bloody.
Super (2010)
Hell yes, this is how you do a superhero movie!
Bloody R-rated goodness. One sympathetic loser who goes too far and a deranged psycho girl who falls in love with him. Awesome. The gore is over the top, and that's why it's so badass. Plus, it's practical (no shitty CGI!). The opening credits alone kick all kinds of ass. If you haven't seen this, get on it. If you don't like it, boy do I feel sorry for you. It's funny, tragic, and amazing all rolled into one. James Gunn, I salute you. Remember Defendor? Compared to this, that's an embarrassing mess of suck. Sorry Woodie, but Rainn Wilson owns you. Michael Rooker is Godzilla in the intro animation. That's just brilliant. Tentacle porn reference? Check. Gold, your new name is Super.
