The Marine (2006)

This film has performed a miracle it both sucks and blows at the same time

[1/10 · 19 June 2007]

I knew from the moment that John Cena started laughing and shouting while killing all the terrorists during his initial rescue that this film was poor but little did I expect that it could suck worse than I'd ever imagined I mean come on the car chase would have been better fitted to an episode of scrubs that an action film and the devastatingly unfunny attempts at humor could not have been made worse if they had actually tried too and to think that the money that was spent on this ridiculous piece of celluloid tat could have been give to a charity and put to GOOD use only serves to make me even more annoyed.

To sum up I'm sure when totaled up between cast and viewers this film will go down in the annuls of history as being the biggest waste of human lifespan in the entire history of human evolution.

Long Way Round (2004–2010)

The journey to end all journeys

[10/10 · 17 June 2005]

The entire idea of this show was that two friends take a trip out on their respective motorcycles and relax but this goes far beyond that and goes into the personal relationships that they have with each other and the difficulties that each other face while trying to keep to a mountain of a deadline and try keep to the spirit of their voyage while also keeping to their commitments of check points and meeting's with various people along the way. A sometimes painful clash of objective between the guys meant that what started as a two man journey of discovery quickly snowballed far beyond that and into a corporate game of cat and mouse and that was before they even started their trip.

My hat/crash helmet goes off to the guys not only for the guts it took just to think up what most people would see as an impossible task but for the sometime literal pain they both went through to make their dream off two mates two bikes and 20,000 mile come true through hellish heat and high fast flowing water

A great travel adventure that is recommended to all
