The Box

Rating: Null/10 (4 February 2004)

This movie should have been called "The Box", because that's what it's all about. Really, a movie about a box? Couldn't come up with something a bit more original, Mr Linch?
The acting in this movie was ok. Nothing special. Pretty much what you'd come to expect in this type of movie. The acting in this movie is on a par with "Anaconda", "Romancing the Stone", and "Barber Shop", which was much funnier, by the way. This movie could have used some comic relief, a la Cedric the Entertainer, or maybe a funny dog, like the one in "Turner and Hooch".
Another thing that bothered me is how this "movie", so blatantly ripped of Bound. 2 Women. Ooooooh. If I want to see that type of naughtiness, I can just head on down to my local video store's back room. It's not like the ladies in this movie were really even that good looking. Couldn't they have gotten Pam Anderson, or even one of her co-stars from V.I.P.?
I also didn't really understand this movie. I know it was about the box, but I didn't really "get it". It gave me a headache. Why was this movie called "Mulholland Drive"? Is that the street that he was drunkenly walking down when he tripped over this script that some wino wrote for kicks?
I hope it's the street Mr Linch will drive away on. For good.
