Battleship! The Board Game Movie For People Who Don't Like Board Games.  Or Movies.

In the world of Hollywood marketing, it is fairly common for a hit movie to inspire a board game.  Such spinoffs usually result in a transparent attempt to make a quick buck (such as three different Twilight games) and every so often produce an unmitigated disaster (Parker Brothers’ Monopoly: Caligula Edition).
Now in an intriguing new twist, the film industry has turned a board game into a feature length movie with the release of Battleship.  Which must have made for an interesting pitch meeting…
SCREENWRITER: The hell with explosions and tits!  Let’s …

DVD REVIEW: The Gruesome Death of Tommy Pistol

WARNING: The film in question had very gruesome, disturbing elements in it, which I will be describing for comedic effect.  Go on and stop now if you might be offended by that sort of thing.
Who walks by a cheese grater and says “Wow.  That would be awesome to scrape that on some girl’s face!”?  Who saw Vince promoting the Slap Chop before he beat up a hooker and thought, “Wow.  I bet that would do a number on a chick’s nipple.”?  Who thinks “You know what would make a girl …

FILM REVIEW: Austin High

Austin High.  The acting was a little over the top.  The story had multiple subplots that failed to materialize.  Most sets appeared to be the same room with just a different colored felt backdrop.  Half of the jokes didn’t work.  And it was awesome.
Oh to have watched that movie totally blitzed.
