hells_half_acreIf you are like me and you really really enjoy watching the world come to an end, then this is the movie for you. It is aptly described by the director as "disaster porn," and that is indeed what it is. The plot itself is very predictable, the circumstances through which our everyman-hero survives are very unbelievable...but if you were going for realism, I'm not sure why you would go to see this movie.
Once again, this movie if for those of us who love to watch great cities fall into the ocean.
It's also for those of us who like to look at Chiwetel Ejiofor....who I must say, NEVER AGES. Dude, that guy is so good looking.
Oh yeah, John Cusack is in it as well. He did a good job too.
ETA: I just found out that the waiter on the ship in 2012 was played by a close friend's brother-in-law! He did a good job too!
Obligatory Supernatural Topics:
On the way back from the movies, we passed Motel 2400, which is the location used for Sam and Dean's motels in such episodes as Something Wicked and Fallen Idol. It is amazingly only about a ten minute drive from my house. I should go back during the day sometime and take pictures.
Dude who played Corbett in Ghostfacers (Dustin Milligan), who is also originally from Yellowknife, NWT. Is going to be in an upcoming Paul Gross film...it's a western set in Canada...it's called: GUNLESS. Hahahahah...oh Paul Gross, your sense of humour is so awesome.
