If there’s one week in 2007 that I should consider the bitchiest muthafucka week in the history of all bitchy muthafucka weeks, it has to be last week. Seriously. My annual depression attack arrived just when I was starting to be pwned at work, and the screwy weather ravaged my health, leading to a sick leave last Monday. It was Hell, I tells ya! But if there’s one bright spot in the past week, that’s last Wednesday when I dropped by the 6-9 Show with CJ and Sarah to get my copy of the Smallville Season 6 DVD set. That was indeed one happy moment for the geek in me. And I think the DVD set was also happy joining my DVD collection. I think.

Although I hate Bryan Singer (don’t ask), I love documentaries. Especially if it’s about comics. I thought long and hard about getting this documentary about Superman, and I finally gave in. I mean, come on. It’s Superman.

When everybody starts raving about a certain movie before I get the chance to see it, I strangely lose interest in seeing it in the theaters. Weird, but it’s the truth. Is it because I like watching movies at home more than I do in the theaters? Maybe. Is it because I hate sharing the same room with idiots who can’t stop talking about how excited they are about the movie because the Internet says it’s cool? Possibly. I don’t know. One thing’s for certain, though: everybody’s done with their “THIS. IS. SPARTAAA!!!” phase, but I’m just starting with mine. HA-OOH! HA-OOH!

I purposely missed this movie when it opened in theaters. “Why?”, you ask. Well, there are several reasons. One, it’s directed by Mark Steven Johnson, the dude who gave us “Daredevil”. Yes, the Ben Affleck flick with an annoying Bullseye and a black Kingpin. Should I go on? Because I think that’s enough for you to understand where I’m going here. OK I’ll give you another: it’s too glossy. When I heard about the plans for a Ghost Rider movie, I hoped that it would be dark and gritty and R-18. The minute I found out that Johnson would be writing and directing it, I decided to pass on the theater release and just wait for the DVD, because I’m not watching this movie without watching some extras. And here we are.

The Story: I didn’t expect much in terms of the plot, but some of the lines dangerously come close to “Batman & Robin” sucktitude. I mean, come on! With great and “just OK” actors, they could have at least come up with more interesting dialogue and not just eye-roll-inducing puns. The only thing that attracted me was the mythology of the Ghost Rider and the concept of him being the Devil’s bounty hunter. The story within the story. After all, I am a comic book geek so I enjoy that kind of stuff. Other than that, it’s a formulaic Hollywood tale of redemption with bad puns and cookie cutter supporting characters.

I rarely listen to other people’s opinions about movies. Well, I do listen, but I don’t let my judgment be affected by their critiques or praises. If they say the movie’s crap but I have the itch to watch it, I’ll watch it. If they say the movie’s the most awesome thing ever since Jesus turned water into wine, I’d pass on it if I doesn’t interest me. But like I said, there are those rare moments that I do take their advice, like when CJ and Sarah of Magic 89.9 did a DVD review of Beerfest. I always see the DVD in record bars and video stores, but I always pass and go for other movies, or none at all. Once I heard the review on-air, I decided to pick it up (after all, it is at bargain price), and I’m glad that I did.

The Story: Nothing fancy. Two brothers get their asses whipped by Germans in a secret ancient beer games tournament, they return home to train their own beer drinking team, hoping to return the following year and have their revenge and protect their family’s honor, and eventually they did. The interesting and fun parts are the backstories of the main characters and all the asshattery. As long as there’s a nerd who masturbates frogs for a living, a male Indian prostitute dude, and a funny fat guy, I don’t care even if the story’s about an enchanted cardboard. Or something. Bottomline is, the movie is a collection of hilarious gags and witty banter. Also, nice sweaty boobies.
