The Core
Rating - -5 out of 5
 

Hello, Lethal Deadites. I'd like to discuss what looks to be about the smelliest pile of horse shit to ever be committed to film. The piece of shit that I speak of is called The Core.

Has anyone been following the ad campaigns for this film? Wait a minute. We'll get to that in a second. Let's just look at the basic plot. Wacky business is going on at the center of the planet. So, what's the answer? Drill to it, place some nukes and blow it up. WHAT!!?? Was I the only one who watched the movie Armageddon, and like paid attention to the whole deal about how they were able to split an asteroid in two by drilling into it and putting in ONE nuke? So, now we're gonna drill into the Earth and place a few tons of nukes in there. I mean, I don't know exactly how big the core is and stuff but I would assume that igniting nuclear explosives inside our planet may cause more damage. Right? You see, the premise for this film is soooo completely idiotic that I can't, even for one second, suspend disbelief for it. It's insulting.

What's doubly insulting is how the movie viewers of America will be tricked into seeing the movie just because of the cast. I mean, come on. DJ Qualls, Hilary Swank, Stanley Tucci....these are some popular names. ONE OF THEM IS AN OSCAR AWARD WINNER!!! However, an Oscar doesn't give you a license to do a big budget action flick. I mean, let's look at Hilary Swank's action resume. She was The Next Karate Kid for Christ's sake. THAT WAS IT!! No other real action for her.

Stanley Tucci.....ummmm....he played a shitty assassin in The Pelican Brief. Anyone remember that? FUCK NO, YOU DON'T!! Because it sucked. People, remember what I'm saying here.

Now, the big reason why you shouldn't even waste your time on this flick. The most insulting thing about this whole deal. The original ad campaigns were about how the core of the Earth stopped spinning and it's causing the entire planet to stop it's rotation, which in turn is causing all these electric storms and natural disasters. So, the plan was "we drill to the center of the Earth and ignite some nukes to give it a bit of a kickstart." WHAT!!?? What kind of half cocked scheme is that? So, you're saying that if the arms on my clock stop rotating, all I gotta do is throw a fucking grenade at it and it'll start working again?

Obviously, the folks at Paramount thought the same thing. So, the movie was pushed back and before we knew it, we were handed a whole new plot point to the film. Now, it turns out that there's a special secret weapon that was placed in the center of the Earth that causes natural disasters as a form of attacks on our enemies. Unfortunately, that weapon has gone haywire and the plan is "we drill to the center of the Earth and ignite some nukes to destroy the weapon."

Ummmmmmmmm huh? You're kidding right? This is the best we can come up with? Why all the drama about drilling into the center of the Earth then? I mean, obviously someone was already down there to plant this weapon....right? You can't just go down that hole that was already dug?

This is bad, folks. Not "Seagal" bad. This is worse. At least when you watch a Seagal film, you know it's gonna suck and you kinda hope that Steven Seagal knows that he's hit rock bottom. And even if he hasn't, there's always something fun about watching someone who was a big star just flounder helplessly like a fish in the desert. But The Core.....dude, The Core. I mean....Jesus Fucking Christ. Why!? Who's going to go see this shit? Honestly, I wanna know. If you're someone who's really looking forward to seeing The Core and you'd like to defend the film or just share your point of view, drop us an e-mail. PLEASE. I need to know who's paying to see this shit.

Thank you.

Where to See It: For the love of God, DON'T!
