Spec Spots and Alone in the Dark

Spec Spot, "a video library and community site for those engaged in the TV advertising industry." There are a few on there that would never make on it the air. Then from time to time, I'm surprised and see an ad that I didn't expect to see broadcast--say for example, the Chiclets ad with words that sound like dirty words.

A trailer for Alone in the Dark with Christian Slater, Stephen Dorff and Tara Reid is out. You decide, do you wish you could have those two minutes of your life back? Sorry dial up users, this may take a while to download. Hrm, this guy's (Uwe Boll) got all sorts of video game movies on his bio--House of the Dead (pretty horrible, from what I've heard), Far Cry, Bloodrayne, and the previously mentioned Alone in the Dark.

Yet again, zombies are part of an entry of mine. Great.

House of the Dead

Yeah...pretty rank. Ravers on an island get attacked by zombies and all of a sudden learn how to use shotguns, grenades and swords...to find out the villan is some ancient Spanish monk who tries to defy death by creating zombies. Oh...and one of the ravers is supposed to be the guy who turns into the mad scientist of the game. Yeah...raver/scientists/weapon experts.

That, and the director seemed to get his hands on this turntable thingie to create a certain shot like the matrix, and uses it over and over and over and over and over and over...

Nothing quite like beating a special effect to the ground.
