Tweeview on the AudioShocker

And with March, the reign of Superman begins. ELECTRIC BLUE!!! For the next couple months, everyday will see a new Tweeview of an issue (in chronological reading order) of the year that Supes spent as an energy being.

So let's let the tweets begin!!!

#Superman 1997 19 Supes finally goes electric and it's a fun read. Honestly, this would have been a better place for me to start my reviews. 11:10 AM Mar 5th
Gentlemen Broncos (2009) - 8/10 - Minimal indie comedy with over-the-top gross-out visuals. Would be 7 but sci-fi scenes get an extra point! 7:36 PM Mar 4th
#Superman 1997 18 It's Supes vs Ceritak (aka Scorn)! Ceritak is from Kandor and tied into the electric powers. He annoys the hell outta me. 11:10 AM Mar 4th
#Superman 1997 17 Things are finally picking up! Michelinie does a great job with the new electric powers as well as the Atomic Skull. 11:10 AM Mar 3rd
#Superman 1997 16 Supes isn't electric blue yet... but a fun threat arrives in the Atomic Skull, while a Boss Moxie b-plot goes nowhere. 11:10 AM Mar 2nd
#Superman 1997 15 I guess this is the beginning of the "Electric Blue" saga. Though it seems to launch the plot, it's a pretty MEH start. 11:10 AM Mar 1st
JCVD (2008) - 9/10 - Smart film. Van Damme becomes vulnerable to the audience in a very conceptual way. Great plot and performance. #JCVD 4:10 PM Feb 28th
G-Man: Cape Crisis #1-5 - 9/10 - Giarusso knocks it out of the park! G-Man is hilarious but the monsters and fantasy art are even AWESOMER. 11:10 AM Feb 28th
#HootSuite helps me kick social media butt. http://hootsuite.com 6:29 PM Feb 27th
The Shepard (2008) - 7/10 - An average film boosted by excellent fight choreography and the quirkiness of Van Damme's character. #JCVD 11:10 AM Feb 27th

As of tomorrow, the AudioShocker Twitter feed will say goodbye to #JCVD until his next film because we'll be done tweeting reviews of his entire catalog! Keep an eye on this space tomorrow, where we'll have a master list of all our Jean-Claude Van Damme Tweeviews.

And starting on March 1st: A YEAR OF ELECTRIC BLUE BEGINS! I'll be tweeting a new Superman comic book review everyday for the next couple months, focusing on the year (1997-1998) when the Man of Steel gained a new look and new powers. The naming system for the reviews will follow the "triangle numbers" because that's the reading order of the issues.

Now on with the tweets!

Until Death (2007) - 7/10 - This odd, sick plot turns highly entertaining when combined with Van Damme's performance. A great role for #JCVD 11:10 AM Feb 26th
Donatello: The Brain Thief #4 - 8/10 - Lawson's final issue is the best. A near-silent display of solid storytelling with a twisted ending. 11:43 AM Feb 25th
Second in Command (2006) - 6/10 - A surprisingly enjoyable and well-crafted movie. Van Damme's decent but the story shines brighter. #JCVD 11:10 AM Feb 24th
Culturology is coming down with a case of March Madness! Next month, sixteen of our favorites will face off in a Tournament Movie Tournament 12:53 PM Feb 23rd
Donatello: The Brain Thief #3 - 7/10 - The art excels in the close ups. The action picks up and sets the tone for the rest of the story. 11:35 AM Feb 23rd
Wake of Death (2004) - 4/10 - Van Damme's acting is especially strong and emotional, but the plot lacks. That drags this one down. #JCVD 11:10 AM Feb 22nd
Donatello: The Brain Thief #2 - 5/10 - Depicts a creepy, methodical title character. Good issue overall but lacks the charm of the others. 4:10 PM Feb 21st
In Hell (2003) - 8/10 - Morbid and engaging, Jean-Claude is at his most intense since Bloodsport... only far more emotionally complex. #JCVD 11:10 AM Feb 21st
Donatello: The Brain Thief #1 - 6/10 - Good establishing issue, showing the latest Baxter as an organic machine. Both minimal and thrilling. 11:10 PM Feb 20th

Neal went from last week's performance of Friday night tweet maniac to a near-hermit showing this week. WHATEVER NEAL YOU ARE SO ERRATIC!!!

Anyway, I figured out how to pre-schedule tweets last weekend (I know you're really excited about that... I can feel it... the energy is palpable). So I scheduled a bunch of reviews on Steel comics and Van Damme movies. And don't forget -- next week marks the end of the JCVD reviews (again, I feel the palpability)!

Derailed (2002) - 5/10 - Despite providing fodder for Van Damme critics, this b-movie is more fun than many of his fancier flicks. #JCVD about 22 hours ago
anyone interested in remodeling our #myspace page? let us know. we are no good at that sort of thing. 11:47 PM Feb 18th
Superman: The Man of Steel #26 - 5/10 - Gotta love the #Steel and gun-toting Kal-El team-up! Great Steel story but a meh cliffhanger ending. 11:10 AM Feb 18th
The Order (2001) - 3/10 - Not bad, per se... But not good either. The Charlton Heston appearance is the only memorable moment. #JCVD 11:10 AM Feb 17th
Superman: The Man of Steel #25 - 7/10 - Lois Lane b-plot is the best thing here. #Steel plot is decent, but a little too crossover focused. 11:10 AM Feb 16th
ok, #wale 's 'pretty girls' and 'my sweetie' tracks are pretty awesome. and yes, neal slept on that whole album due to the gaga association. 11:12 PM Feb 15th
Replicant (2001) - 5/10 - Jean-Claude returns to his habit of dual roles in ridiculous form. Watch this only for unintentional laughs. #JCVD 11:10 AM Feb 15th
Superman: The Man of Steel #24 - 6/10 - The story is both focused and jumpy somehow. Regardless, there's an awesome #Steel fight scene here. 11:10 AM Feb 14th
Universal Soldier: Regeneration (2010) - 6/10 - Unique pacing and structure. The plot is a bit too simple but the action is excellent. #JCVD 12:05 AM Feb 14th
wanted to wait to post my tweeview of the newest #JCVD film until i finished up with my others, BUT it's new so i figure i should let it rip 12:04 AM Feb 14th
Superman: The Man of Steel #24 - 6/10 - The story is somehow both focused and jumpy. Regardless, there's an awesome #Steel fight scene here. 12:22 PM Feb 13th

More tweet fun! Aside from Neal being a total YOU KNOW WHAT and exclusively tweeting on Friday this week (in a possible passive attempt to bury all my hard work at tweeting consistently), we've got some movie and comics reviews (JCVD and Superman) scattered throughout the week.

And, yes (in case you were wondering), Neal even took the time to reply to his own personal Twitter feed. Now that's class!

Desert Heat (1999) - 6/10 - I was unimpressed at first, but fond memories of Van Damme's interesting role in this film stuck with me. #JCVD 10:25 AM Feb 11th
Superman: The Man of Steel #23 - 8/10 - Delving deeper into background of #Steel = More engaging than 1st appearance. Best of the story arc. 11:19 AM Feb 10th
Universal Solider: The Return (1999) - 2/10 - It's so bad!!! Arrgghhh! I can't take it! Make the pain stop, Van Damme, make it stop! #JCVD 12:48 PM Feb 9th
yo in case you didn't already notice, the AudioShocker is stepping up the tweeting. we're talking movie and comics reviews and tons more 10:06 PM Feb 7th
Superman: The Man of Steel #22 - 6/10 - Origin of John Henry Irons as #Steel. Story has heart. Fun but not riveting. Bogdanove's art rules. 7:39 PM Feb 7th

Okay, we're trying something new here today at the AudioShocker. Instead of doing the largely pointless one-Twitter-review-per-week format, we're stepping things up and introducing a new Saturday post that recaps an entire weeks of tweets.

What can you expect to find in our rejuvenated Twitter feed and this weekly recap? My Jean-Claude Van Damme movie reviews will be here with at least three flicks reviewed per week. Neal's taken to the format pretty quickly, and you can see that he's shouting out a lot of his favorite media.

In the future, we've got a lot of interesting and ambitious plans (hint: a year of electric blue), so watch this space every Saturday as Tweeviews continue to evolve!

Knock Off (1998) - 2/10 - It pains me to say that this Jean-Claude Van Damme / Rob Schneider team-up totally sucks. Funny idea though. #JCVD 9:21 AM Feb 5th
the audioshocker is hosted at #dreamhost btw 8:53 AM Feb 5th

how cool would #epub #comics be? would you download an epub comic book to read on your ipad? kindle? nook? 11:59 PM Feb 3rd
Pride and Glory (2008) - 5/10 - A more or less not great cop movie. Colin Farrel, Jon Voight, & Ed Norton plod through 2 predictable hours. 11:55 PM Feb 3rd
@suddendeath2009 sorry for the extremely late reply - can we get tickets to the premier? 11:52 PM Feb 3rd in reply to suddendeath2009
audioshocker LOVES #axecop. you hear me @axecop? we LOVE YOU 11:50 PM Feb 3rd
Legionnaire (1998) - 3/10 - Put simply: This historical epic showcases good acting by Van Damme. But it still blows. #JCVD 12:39 PM Feb 3rd
Double Team (1997) - 1/10 - I love the fact that this movie even exists... But, unfortunately, it's pretty much unwatchable. #JCVD 8:44 PM Feb 2nd
hmmm experiencing technical difficulties with some new Tweeview experiments... 8:44 PM Feb 2nd
The Quest (1996) - 6/10 - It has issues, but Van Damme's directorial debut works well in a strange way, especially during the fights. #JCVD 11:47 AM Jan 30th
