A Cabin Fever
Remake! Are you like a crazy person! And Eli Roth is helping release
this! What in the actual fuck have I missed! Its not even an old
film by any stretch of the imagination! Another interesting
announcement that went completely over my head, the new Halloween
film they've working on is not a sequel to Rob Zombies Halloween
films, but a sequel to the original Halloween 2 (1981). Ladies and
gentlemen, the future for horror is getting really questionable.
With a new Friday The 13th and Nightmare reboot coming
soon, I half expect an announcement of a Hellraiser reboot, and guess
what, THEY'RE CONTEMPLATING A JAWS REBOOT! Ill end this paragraph
with a bit of levity, the new Star Wars toys are hilariously awesome!
Now for a review,
San Andreas. Dwayne Johnson's new disaster porn movie, after
watching this I tried to imagine how they pitched this film to him,
or rather how much did he get paid to do it. It was a hit at the box
office which proves beyond the shadow of a doubt, if the movie sounds
like it will suck, throw The Rock in it and watch the money flow in.
It wasn't too terrible I guess, the effects were nice, but it seemed
like a love drama, the disaster was just for cool stuff to look at.
I think this could have been made with a lower budget and a smaller
disaster and it would've been the same movie, it just seemed
pointless. They threw in Paul Giamatti just to tell everyone what
exactly was going on, why the earthquakes were happening, you could
have cut his character out completely and you wouldn't miss anything,
its a shame too, hes a good actor why would you cast him if you're
going to underutilize him. I wouldn't even recommend this to the
most hardcore The Rock fans.
And now the dreaded
Top 5! Cult Classics!
5. Grandmas Boy
(2006)
This one was unique,
and dare I say it the funniest movie Happy Madison has come out with.
You never saw this one coming, I remember renting this because it
was about the lives of game testers, and I was a bit of a geek so I
thought what the hell. Completely took me by surprise, it was a
stoner classic right up there with Bill and Ted, but alas like many
cult films, it suffered from poor marketing.
4. The Big Lebowski
(1998)
Another stoner flick
that went under the radar, this one I can understand why it didn't
have a good marketing strategy. Seriously, watch this movie and try
to build up hype for it. Its a movie about an ordinary dude, put in
an extraordinary situation, and hilarity ensues. This one is also
very quotable. The Dude Abides!
3. The Boondock
Saints (1999)
You knew this one
was coming, this one came out of nowhere and rocked anybody who saw
it. This film suffered however because if its director and writer,
who made it to the big time and then told everyone to fuck off.
There even a documentary about the crisis this movie was behind the
scenes, but despite the drama, the guy made a classic film, just
don't see the second film!
2. Fight Club (1999)
This is close to
being my favorite movie of all time, any kid growing up can relate at
least a little to it. This and Boondock Saints had the potential to
be block busters, but they happened to come out during a tragic time,
during Columbine. So naturally critics and a whole bunch of people
slammed them for being too violent, but today they're remembered as
classics!
1. Donnie Darko
(2001)
This indeed is
another contender for one of my favorite films, and another that was
difficult to market. This film in my opinion NEEDS repeat viewings
just so you can ingest every detail this film had to offer. I also
have a weak spot for weird films, the more surreal the better! I
don't want to give away anything about this film so if you haven't
seen it yet, take a leap of faith, SEE IT!
