What did I accomplish on Day 17 on my challenge? Well I watched the following:
17th January 2012 - EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS
I'm going to admit something to you all now. I like David Arquette as an actor. Granted, he was the worlds worst heavyweight wrestling champion, & his title reign single-handedly led to the downfall of WCW, but something about him makes me enjoy his performance in every film he's in (yes, that includes Ready to Rumble & See Spot Run).
In this he plays some guy who comes back to his daddys mine in some arizona town. Unfortunately, the town is getting overrun by giant (awful) CGI spiders. He plays the same character in every film, does Doofus Arquette. He wants to look like the leading man but he's as tough as a wet paper bag. I was expecting his momma to come along & help him out at some point, he looked so lost...
What I dont get is that this film has a teenage who spends time on his computer looking for spider types rather than porn. Do the directors not do their research. Granted, if I was into spiders as a teenager I would probably have used the net to catalogue these, but thats only inbetween the 24 wanks I was having that day.
Anyways, back to the film. It was ok. Mediocre at best. Effects were awful, The cast of Cool Runnings couldn't help the comedy & no-one got their boobs out. What happened to film in america?
17th January 2012 - REAL STEEL
Loved this film. I mean it, I absolutely fucking loved this film. My favourite film of all time is Rocky 4, and this was basically all the best bits from Rocky 1-4, but instead of Rocky, Apollo, Drago et al, we get big fricking robots beating the crap out of each other. I literally had a robot chubby watching this.
If you dont include the robots, its a heartwarming tale of a dad selling his long-abandoned son to his dead mother's sister in an attempt to buy a robot & win some money. In the end son & pop bond & invest in a shit robot that was used as a sparring partner, so can take some damage but cant dish it out. Heartwarming tale I know. But that doesn't matter as this is a film about BOXING ROBOTS. If only it were wrestling robots then I may actually jizz in my pants.
I won't knock this film, it probably is the best film I've watched this year, even though it was released last year, but does it beat Rise of the Planet of the Apes as my film of 2011? Its close but I think it just misses out, it gets 99.9% for effort tho!
17th January - DEVIL
A story about 5 people trapped in a lift with the Devil (or some mexican equivalent)? Sounds intriguing, and it actually was. I wondered how they would build the suspense up & it worked well. This stuff never happens here tho. In fact all we get at my work is people either getting stuck in the lift due to weight constraints, or someone dropping a dirty bomb in one, although that could be considered hazardous I suppose.
One thing about this film is that its very short, about 1hr 15mins, so I new it wouldnt be a long suspensful journey. I just wanted to see someone die and, maybe on the odd occasion, some boobs. If I wanted to see a fat mexican praying to god then I'd go to Taco Bell. Until then, to the directors of horror films, give us more boobs!!!!!
So far, my tally for the week is 13 films watched, leaving me with just 6 more to watch to keep my 19 film average. Will I do it? Keep an eye on the blog!
