10,000 BC, 2008 AD
10,000 BC was panned by some viewers for being “historically inaccurate,” but honestly what did they expect from a director that had Will Smith knock an alien out with a punch to its helmet or uploading a computer virus to an alien mother ship. I picked up the movie at Dollar Tree, and honestly it looked like some of the D&D games I’ve participated in. It’s basically an alt-history/fantasy flick of a young hunter in a primitive society going to get his beautiful girl back after she was abducted and taken to a far away land. Along the way he gathers an army of men whose people were also taken captive. Its nothing more than a fun popcorn fest. If it was named something other than 10,000 BC it probably would have had better reviews.
The Good The Bad The Weird, 2008
A Sergio Leone-inspired Korean Western set in Japanese occupied Manchuria, just before WWII. It’s the story of two outlaws and a bounty hunter who find a “treasure” map while being pursued by the Imperial Japanese army (Who want the map thinking it will “save the Japanese Empire”) and Manchurian bandits (Who want to sell the map on the “Ghost Market”).
