James Cochran’s Blog

Every year for my friend Jim’s birthday he picks the worst movie possible and gets everyone to go see it with him.  I missed it last year when they went to Superbad (which was chosen on name alone because that movie was awesome) but had the thrill of going and seeing Death Race this year with him and a ton of other people.  It had a 40% rating over at Rotten Tomatoes from critics but the RT Community gave it 73% so I didn’t think it would be too bad.  What I found out is it was so bad it was kind of good.  Sure I’m sad I dropped close to $40 to see it after popcorn and all but had at least it was so bad it was funny.  If you like explosions and bad dialog and terrible story lines then this movie is for you.  Did I mention there is racing?  And death?  If those things get you excited then this is the movie for you.  Guys, this is a must see date night movie.  If you hate your significant other.
