| The original white rapper and his yellow crotch rocket make a triumphant film debutFor over fifteen years the brothers Sid have been exposed to some of the best..and the worst B that the world has to offer from every genre available. However we may have met the ultimate strange low budget experience in the 1991 smash hit Cool as Ice starring the original white gangsta Vanilla Ice, and his baggy spray paint pants. When we saw it was going to be on last night there was no way possible it could be passed on as the amount of promise was so very large. When you have the chance to expand your B review empire with an entry from a guy that got hung by his ankles over a balcony by Suge Knight you just have to hop on it.
Our high top, triple cuts in the eyebrow sporting star plays a straight up gangsta named Johnny that's got the hots for a goody goody named Kathy. It's the typical bad boy liking good girl while parents fume story that has plagued the film world for so many years. You can pretty much predict everything that's going to happen except for the unreal dialogue thanks to Ice Ice baby. Van Winkle does eventually earn the parents respect once he rescues Kathy's kidnapped little brother, who idolizes the 90's rap sensation, from a very pathetic mafia syndicate.
Wow is the one term to sum up what was witnessed in Cool As Ice. What's quite perplexing is why this one got some 1 star ratings. Obviously the movie sucks, but you should be so well aware of that from the sheer fact it stars VANILLA ICE! How could you possible expect anything but a hilariously terrible movie? Really it's something that should be watched by people suffering from extreme depression who would snap out of it within minutes of the movie rolling. They would say "oh man at least I'm not Vanilla Ice" and be so happy by that thought they could resume fun and productive lives. If you're down for an evening of WTF moments and disbelief from Ice's one liners then this baby is a must for you.
Ice Cream"Cool as Ice" is the wonderfully bad cinematic masterpiece--of Vanilla Ice,the white rapper who preceded Marky Mark AND Eminem. It's got Naomi Campbell (briefly) and a delightfully cheesy plotline. Vanilla Ice stars as a rapper--of course--who has an amazing flying motorcycle and falls for a suburban teen whose father disapproves. The plot has more holes than Swiss cheese--but this movie was made for the music,wasn't it? "Cool as Ice" is so bad,it's classic.
Cool As Ice Movie ReviewCool as Ice was a good movie. There is not much to the show. The only thing that would be interesting is if you liked Vanilla Ice the rapper when he was popular. It's fun for the different things that made that time popular. Vanilla Ice does some rap in the movie so if you like that I definitely recommend.
Cool as Ice: Vanilla Ice Strikes BackSeriously though...
Vanilla Ice has the acting skills of a piece of driftwood.
Oh man, this movie is terrible. It's so terrible that I found myself cracking up the majority of the time. It's so mind-numbingly bad that I actually kinda liked watching it. But I just couldn't bring myself to give this crapfest a four or five star rating, no matter how many times I laughed at it. It's basically Vanilla Ice trying to be a neon-clad James Dean with fantastic pickup lines such as, "Drop that zero and get with a hero." Do I really need to say anything about that one? Didn't think so.
My favorite scene of the movie would probably be the one where he magically jumps his motorcycle over a fence without a ramp. Who needs physics? Not Ice.
So if you're bored (and preferably drunk and/or high), pop this cheesefest in your old VCR.
Get with a heroWith a script from the dream team of Akira Kourisawia and Stanley Kubrick, the pressure was all on the shoulders of director David Kellog. Coming through like a bull in a china shop, Kellog delivers a modern answer to Bergman's "Seventh Seal" that not only uppes the ante, but says, "I'm all in."
Let us not forget the jacket.
With it's leather stiched cries of passion it is reminicent of a classically trained Adler student, it delivers a tour de force in it's delivery of lines like "Sex me up!" ""Down by law" "and "Faith is a torment. It is like loving someone who is out there in the darkness but never appears, no matter how loudly you call."
"Cool As Ice" also employs a number from Pulp Fiction, using the book of Leviticus 3:14 to drop wisdom on us with the quote "Drop that zero and get with the hero."
Method to the end, Ice still resides in the Southern California community that this harrowing documentary was shot in, battling injustice and intolerance with his mighty yellow motorcycle.
