Bad Movie Thursday

Viewing Date:  8/30/18

Starring:  Sharlto Copley, Tim Roth, and you (as Henry)

Plot:  Henry is resurrected from death with no memory, and he must save his wife from a telekinetic warlord with a plan to bio-engineer soldiers.  (From IMDB)

Rules:

• Every time they say “Henry”
• Every time Henry falls down
• Video game clichés
• Screen glitches

Quotes:

• “All you got to do is pull out his f&cking heart and eat it.”
• “You’re half machine, half p&ssy.”
• “Hi, I’m a f&ckin’ car baby.  Lexus convertible.”
• “How sweet, if I took this moment and put it in a cup of tea, I wouldn’t need sugar.”
• “Put the proto baby down.”
• “As my father used to say, a grenade a day keeps the doctor away.”

Viewer Quotes:

• “This is all a f&cking video game.”
• “Is that Mathew McConaughey?”
• “That’s the way I’d want to go out… in a dance fight.”

Things we learned:

• Telekinetic bad guys like to masturbate using a baseball bat.
• Sharlto Copley likes drugs.  A lot.  And he dies a lot too.

Final Take:

It’s not a perfect movie by any means, but it is truly weird enough to recommend.  The FPS (First Person Shooter) perspective can be off putting at times.  In general though, there’s always something going on, and the overall strangeness and Sharlto Copley going all in on his role really makes this a pretty solid BMT flick.
