#113. Afraid of the Dark - Review

Wow. I’m not sure what this film is, or even what it wants to be. I am confident I don’t like it, although I was pretty entertained throughout most of the film. Afraid of the Dark is a horror (?) film centered on hallucinations and daydreams, but came dangerously close to putting me to sleep so I could create my own more sensible nightmares. While starting off with a bang, the film quickly lost my interest after the fourth or fifth time it pulled the floor out from under me. I don’t even want to try and discern a plot from the flick, but its on Netflix Watch Instantly right now if you are interested. If you watch it or have already seen it, please let me know what it was about and if I should like it or not in the comment section.

#112. Grown-Ups - Review

Grown-Ups banner posterThey added last year’s annual Adam Sandler comedy Grown-Ups to Instant Watch recently, so I took the opportunity to re-watch it with my wife. The last time I saw the film I was on hour 7 of a 13-hour plane ride to South Korea, so I decided to give it another chance. Still stupid, but never the less I laughed more this time around. My wife laughed more than I did, but she also loves the film Hot Chick so take that for what its worth. Check out my original review of the film if you are interested.

Let me know what you thought of this flick, compared to Sandler's other comedies. Comments and facebook/twitter links below! Help me out and get ControllerUnplugged out there!

#111. Jackass 3D - Review

Jackass cast

I re-watched Jackass 3D on Blu-ray, and while the poop and penises look spectacular in hi-def, I was left wanting after the credits. The special features are pretty much what you would expect; however the lack of a cast commentary (which has been a staple since the release of the first Jackass) really let me down. It has a red/blue 3d version on one of the extra discs, and it shipped with four 3d glasses, but I will never watch that version of the film so let me know how it is if you do. Still, I love watching this particular group of guys come together, however uninspired they may be. Check my original review of the film if you are interested.
