Billy: OK, movie time.
Joe: Describe each movie in two lines or less.
Jim: Shouldn't that be "two lines or fewer"?
Bob: Fewer than two is only one. Can't get much fewer.
Billy: Zero is fewer. Two fewer, actually.
Joe: Semantics. Let's git-er-done.
Jim: The Informant.
Bob: Matt Damon plays the geekiest whistleblower ever.
Billy: And only the spoiler saved the film.
Joe: Circle of Eight.
Jim: Even by B-movie standards, this ghost-filled stone walled apartment complex is sterile.
Bob: and what's with all the green lights? And that one lesbian chick scene that had nothing to do with the plot at all?
Billy: Macbeth.
Joe: Which one? There are tons!
Jim: The one with Sam Worthington. Set in modern day street gang some such.
Bob: This movie is one you turn off ten minutes into the film, and you thank this movie for letting you know to turn it off, so you can better spend your time watching something better.
Billy: The History Boys.
Joe: I liked the dialogue, and the setting, and the lit references.
Jim: But do we REALLY need another movie about how tough it is to be a closet homosexual teenager boy in 1980's Britain?
Bob: Sukiyaki Western Django
Billy: I got this one in three words: Sucky-yucky Worthless Junk-o.
Joe: Niiiiice one! OK: Case 39
Jim: This one starts out wonderful - reallllllly twisted, especially with the girl in the oven scene. True horror, but then . . .
Bob: ....then it shows you just how CG demons can turn a psychological thriller into a bucketful of cheese-whiz.
Billy: Twilight: Eclipse.
Joe: *silence*
Jim: er . . . .
Bob: Better than New Moon?
Billy: That'll work. Southland Tales
Joe: Did I watch that one late, because it seems like a dream . . . something about a near-future LA that's all destroyed?
Jim: Doesn't that describe the "here and now" LA?
Bob: Yeah, but they have futuristic styles, kinda like Timothy Leary envisioning the Rapture.
Billy: How about Carriers?
Joe: Like Andromeda Strain meets The Walking Dead.
Jim: Nightmare on Elm Street. The remake.
Bob: Showing once and for all why remakes of any sort should be outlawed, and those who make them should be tarred, feathered, and run out of town for the talentless heathens that they are.
Billy: and that my friends, wraps up this episode of "Movie Roulette"
Joe: Tune in next time when we take on the entire Disney Ouvre!
Jim: Cartoons or Live Action?
Bob: Both. And that includes the Pixars!
