Deep into season 2 of 24, I haven't watched a movie in a while. Well, last night that string was broken, as Thomas brought Bulletproof Monk over for Remy, Bethany and I. I was hopeful that some good action, and some good laughs would ensue, since Sean William Scott is hilarious, and Chow Yun Fat can martial arts-it with the best of them. However, I got none of it. This is one distinctly awful movie. The dialogue is terrible, the action is fake, and the performances are half-hearted at best. Even the soundtrack sucked. I mean, Christin left 30 minutes into it, and Thomas fell asleep before that. Get a load of this: going into the final battle scene, the female lead turned directly to Stifler and literally said, "If we don't make it out of this, that would really suck." Even I, an admitted bad writer, can out-do that dialogue. So if you are looking for a movie some time, please overlook this one, and don't waste your time. Just another public service announcement from your good old Uncle Josh.

Posted by: Christin at September 9, 2003 01:50 PMFrom seeing the trailer and random adds for this movie, I had a strong feeling it would be stupid. But now hearing that a German soldier says he doesn't like monkeys is making me curious as to how bad it really is. I always enjoy a good retarded film so I can sit around w/ friends and make fun of it. It's just that whole growing-up-watching-MST-thing I guess. ^_^
Posted by: Took at September 10, 2003 08:32 PMIt is definitely MST material (at least the part I watched). I probably would have stayed to make fun of it, but I got a feeling that it would have annoyed Remy and Bethany...not that there's anything wrong with that.
