Doom (2005)
Not only is this movie retarded, it trys to make the Marines look stupid too
I think I would have thought this movie was dumb anyway, but being a Marine vet, I thought it was extremely stupid. In the year 2026, do Marine Corps standards go to Hell in a hand-basket??? First off, "Sarge"? I never heard a Sgt. called that while in the Marine Corps. Secondly, if he was a Sgt., I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be the COMMANDING OFFICER since that would mean he isn't a "Sarge" after all. O.k. that Portman guy looks like he is around 40 years old, and I'm pretty freaking sure that his hair cut isn't Marine regulation unless in the year 2020 whatever you don't have to even worry about a haircut anymore in the Marines. But oddly enough, even accepting the fact that he didn't act like a Marine or look like a Marine at all, Portman was the character that I liked the most I guess because he was the only one that seemed to realize he was in a retarded movie so he didn't care. But the dumbest part of the movie had to be when "Sarge" keeps on referring to his Marines as Soldiers. "I NEED SOLDIERS!" Any Marine or anyone with decent knowledge knows that a Marine is a Marine. That is a pet peeve among Marines, and I'm pretty sure a Recon Marine, or whatever he was supposed to be, wouldn't do that. Army=Soldiers, Navy=Sailors, etc. What made it even more dumb is the fact that they would have all these inaccuracies about the Marines, and yet act like the "Sarge" is into the traditions and customs of the Corps. He has a "Semper Fi" tattoo on his back, and he wants to have a good old fashioned smackdown at the end because his fellow Marine has violated this pact of always faithful to the Corps, or was it always faithful to the Army since apparently his thinks he is a Soldier and is confused. The "Semper Fi Mother ******" comment was so over the top it had me rolling with laughter. Then there is the whole drug thing going on. I guess they don't have drug tests in the year 2026. I know people that got kicked out for smoking dope much less whatever those green pills were that half the squad was on.
The only part of the movie I enjoyed was the two or three minutes where the guy runs around in first person only because it reminded me or playing the game back in the day.
Power (1986)
More Seductive than Sex!!!
If the only sex you've ever had is with a farm animal, then the tag line for this movie is probably still misleading.
This is by far one of the most boring movies I've had the pleasure to try and watch lately. I found the DVD lying around at my friend's house, and I made the sad mistake of not burning it.
I am unable to tell any details without spoiling the movie because there are only about 5 details to this movie. Just try to imagine someone making a movie about things on c-span only the fictional movie is 10 times less interesting than the most boring debate on c-span.
I think there is a conspiracy somewhere in this movie, but I was unable to tell exactly what it was after I gouched my eyeballs out and threw them at Richard Gere.
