I only started to do it this year though. I got to see like 20 films for free though. Need to find a way to scam Austin.

This trick sometimes works but not this time. "Traitor" thinks it's being edgy and thought-provoking by giving an even view of Islamic terrorism but really comes across as a simplistic spy thriller with a serious lacking of the deep conversation starter material it thinks in possesses. But, Cheadle and Pierce are both fine and the action is effective so... For me, “Death Race” is an example of people attempting to make a “cult” film on purpose.

It holds up remarkably well, in a campy, goofball way. I couldn't imagine a "reinterpretation" would be anything but stinky. I saw "Traitor" and liked it pretty well. It raises interesting questions and all that. Surprisingly, Guy Pierce is the real stand-out. I say "surprisingly" because I didn't even know he was in it before we went. Does the studio want people to even see this movie? Strange. . . I watched “Death Race 2000″ a month or so before I knew there was this crappy remake in the works.

While the movie is not a complete ripoff of Superbad, the characters absolutly are. The fat kid makes fun of the kid with glasses and insults him all the time, like seth and fogell like in Superbad. There are other similarities, too. Other than that, I just really didnt think it was funny at all. Me and my friend were making fun of it the whole time. I saw College.
