Cool As Ice Movie Review
Added 9/14/2009
Cool 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 Back
Added 11/15/2007
Seriously 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.

Ice Makes the Inner-City Safe for Native Drug Dealers
Added 10/9/2007
Reprising R. Lee Ermey's role from "Full Metal Jacket" this non-Kubrick directed sequel picks up 20 years after the original with Ermey's character now played by Vanilla Ice and living in South Central L.A. Having been kicked out of the army for literally skull-******* a cadet, (which we are shown in ghastly up-close detail in a sepia-tinged flashback)Ice is a private investigator who starts noticing weird signs appearing in shops in the neighborhood. After a trip to the elementary school library next to his office to look the writing up, he realizes that, yes, his old nemeses the Viet Cong are back and after his hood. Using his neon-yellow, talking motorcycle from the future (voiced by the sonorous and gentle Art Garfunkle) Ice eventually uncovers that the VC are infecting LA's gang-ridden slums with an ultra-powerful form of crack known as Ice-9. Determined to end the VC's reign of terror and win back America's honor after the left-wing inflicted defeat of Viet Nam, Ice and Garfunklebike beat down legions of VC thugs until finally reaching the gang's resurrected zombie leader, Ho Chi Minh (look for a young Jet Li in the role!), and defeating him in an epic battle royale with a little help from WWF fave Rowdy Roddy Piper. The movie ends with Ice and Garfunklebike riding into the sunset discussing name changes since his name is, like, now associated with a deadly form of crack. Though mustering little box-office support upon its release, "Cool as Ice" has since been consistently ranked highly on the AFL's list of 100 Greatest American Films.
FUN FACT: On his death bed Stanley Kubrick expressed regret that he had allowed this gem to slip through his fingers, suggesting that if he had helmed it as originally planned that it would have been ranked above, instead of below "Citizen Kane."

Get with a hero
Added 4/12/2007
With 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.

ICE ICE BABY-TOO COLD, TOO COLD!!
Added 1/23/2007
Always being a closet vanilla ice fan, I had this movie along time ago and like everyone else I LOVE IT! I have to say the reviews here made me laugh so hard I was crying, it was so great, and made me remeber how crazy stupid and funny this movie is. I know it's lame, but it's the best kind of lame, not taking itself serious, and since Rob is huge now from Surreal Life and the SL games, he is awesome as a heavy metel singer! ICE ICE BABY, TOO COLD, TOO COLD!! anyways yes this movie has the best lines, drop that zero, all of them, priceless!!! I WOULD PAY $1000 BUCKS FOR THIS MOVIE! Just joking, but still want to own this, also if looks could kill with richard greico was as awesome as this movie, hard to find that one as well. Anyways, COOL AS ICE RULES!
