Game Box 1.0 gets reviewed photo

Thank you I-Mockery. Thank you so much from saving me the pain from having to actually watch this movie. You may remember when I showed you all the trailer for this movie a couple of months back. Well, it finally came out this week and Dr. Boogie at I-Mockery braved the film to give the Internets a review:

Matters are complicated by the fact that Charlie doesn't have any enhanced abilities in the game world (apart from a better haircut and the ability to see without wearing his glasses). Plus, when he gets hurt in the game, it hurts him for real (*cough*NightmareonElmStreet*cough*). To offset this handicap, the game gives him three extra lives and access to weapons and health power-ups:

OK, so maybe it isn't that bad compared to the rest of the crap that has come out. It does have originality going for it. Plus, its got Topanga!!!

Speaking of Topanga (Danielle Fishel), Game Box 1.0 has got a MySpace too. The only reason I bring this up is because a good chunk of the pictures on the profile are of Danielle. That's one way to promote the flick ...

gamebox 1.0 sent me a friend request on myspace last week and i accepted it. I will watch it for free. I think it is an interesting idea for a video. Nothing spectacular but a good attempt for an indie film so i approve of it.

The mid to late 90's version of Wendy from The Wonder Years. That's all.

That looks like a weird hybrid b/w a GC and Madcatz PS2 controller.

They sent me a friend request and I denied it. Just their tagline was enough to run me off.

Topanga was a sex bomb when she was 10. She's like a sex nuke now. *meow*

I wouldn't necesarily call this original, it sounds alot like that videogame horror movie that was released last year(the name escapes me). But like that movie, i'd have to say this one doesn't look like it's worth watching.

You know what's hilarious? The fact that iMDB lists the movie as being made in 2004... No wonder it looks like ass...


...I'll still soo it more than likely, but like Ted, I won't pay for it.

aborto: I believe it was Stay Alive. But there were a host of similar movies.

Lol @ Topanga. I always thought she looked strange. I never knew about this movie until they tried to add me on Myspace, and TBH when I saw "Gamebox" I thought it was a game site, podcast or something. Then I looked at the Myspace and thought to myself "oh god."

Boy Meets World? Sounds like one of those Disney "Secret Life of That's So Hanna Montana" crapfests they pawn off on 'tweens, that'll think those were awesome shows, until they watch them again as adults and realize how god awful they really are.

Am I close?

Boy Meets World had KITT from Knight Rider in it. Are you saying KITT is gay?

You might have a point on second thought.

The concept of this movie was totally ripped off from a script I wrote entitled Death to the Scorpion. Luckily the GameBox guys screwed it up completely. If you want to see a clip from a short version that I shot, go to streetlamp studios.com Me and my camp have secured a budget and a top notched director to direct this piece. My attorneys are working on a lawsuit. Stay tuned.
