What’s In The Box? Faster (2010)

Greetings and salutations ladies and germs. I have thought about beginning this series for a while. During the past year, I have been surprised by a hell of a lot of films. I attribute this first and foremost to my expectations being at an all time low when it comes to Hollywood. Blockbusters and action movies are the usual culprit of my dismay. Long gone are the days when I’d anxiously await that bountiful season of the American summer, which would provide me with hours upon hours of entertaining awesomeness. Alas I have grown weary of the special effects, the explosions, the fifteen shots every thirty seconds, the shaky cam and the cliff notes masquerading as characters. But during the past twelve months I have time and time again been surprised at how much I’ve enjoyed myself with some of the movies I, quite frankly, was 100% certain I’d dislike. Movies like ‘Knight and Day’, ‘Date Night” and one movie in particular, ‘The A Team’. If any movie had pretty much everything going against it, that was it. But to my great surprise I enjoyed it a lot. But there’s a flip side to this coin (there always is). Movies I’ve expected to like have disappointed. ‘Iron Man 2’, ‘The Fighter’ and ‘Splice’ all disappointed.

Video Game Adaptations Part 4: Doom

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. I am horrified to tell you that in exactly 90 minutes we will run out of fuel and enter a sickening nosedive towards the earth. As we don’t want you to be bored for our last time on this planet, I’ve instructed the stewardess to play our in flight movie, Doom, again for you…”

“What’s that? One passenger says he’d rather be splattered all over the landscape right now than watch that film?”

Yup, it’s that bad.

Koutchboom’s Adventures In Terrible Comedy – The Marc Pease Experience

In my continuing adventures into the depths of comedy lows I knew I was bound to hit a pot hole or two, didn’t think I’d blow my fucking wheels out going over them. Some movies just make you wonder what the point of it all is, do I really want to waste my life that bad. Well this is one such movie, ladies and fanboys let us divulge ever so briefly in ‘The Marc Pease Experience’.
