watching movies one cup at a time

Welcome to Ice Cubes In My Coffee :: The Caffeinated Movie Guide. I love movies and I have strong opinions about all of them. When they are great, they can change your life. And when they suck, you can at least have fun ripping them to shreds. I have seen a million movies and I have a bunch of movie facts and trivia stored up in my head - it's time to share. I'm going to be filling this movie guide with reviews on an ongoing basis, building up a large library of reviews so YOU, the movie-watching public, will know what movies are essential viewing and what movies you must avoid at all costs (hint: anything with the words "Starring Dane Cook"). I will also be posting some interesting articles and lists along the way as well. So grab a cup of joe and settle in for some movie talk!

Silent Hill

Starring: Radha Mitchell, Sean Bean
Director: Christophe Gans
Year of Release: 2006
Rated 4 cups

This movie is based on a video game and oh boy is that obvious. There really isn’t much of a plot. Just a series of “spooky” images tied together with some vague story about a burnt down town and missing kids. Radha Mitchell just kind of sleep walks through this. She never, ever seems phased at all by whatever demons are headed her way. Sure, she screams and all the things you’re supposed to do. But it doesn’t feel genuine. It feels bored and rote. It really does feel like watching someone play a video game. Boring when it should be scary, silly when it’s supposed to be deep. Paper thin and ultimately pointless. You’ll have a better time probably just playing the dumb video game.
