When Sharon is out of town, it means I don’t catch movies on the big screen either. But that doesn’t stop me from catching other movies which I have missed previously. One such movie is Gamer starring that 300-fella, Gerard Butler. I remembered not reading really good reviews about it, and the plot itself sounds kinda silly.
And this movie is not the hot tub goodness. That comes later.
Gamer is pretty much a movie that wanted to cash in on gamers. Creating a real life FPS scenario where well, real people are controlled by real people elsewhere. Didn’t take more than two minutes to realise that the movie will then be about a man going all out trying to break control and take down the evil fella who created the system.
From then on, it was just a question of how, how much violence we will watch and who else will die before the final showdown. The only good thing is probably Michael C. Hall who carried out his role as the psycho rich villain quite to perfection. The rest of the cast was pretty forgettable.
This was a movie that I did not quite expect to watch but when superlatives like “funniest movie of the year” gets thrown about, I was convinced. It was actually quite hilarious. Judging from the amount of 18SX moments, I doubt the local cinemas will screen it, and you will probably have to find alternative means to watch it (not that it is that difficult in this country).
The movie is about 3 old friends and a err, nephew to visit a ski lodge that was happening back in their heydays. They went into a hot tub and they traveled back through time. And that is basically the plot. Do they try to change their future or do they go through the events to make sure their future stay the same?
The dialogues can be pretty funny, and some of the in-your-face jokes are pretty nice, without going into the “lame” mode. So, if you can find this movie, give it a go. It is bound to bring some chuckles.
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?
