Summerfest 3 Day One: The Descent Part 2

I'm afraid that I'm going to be quick about this, because we're just about to start Leprechaun 3, which is considerably more alluring than writing about The Descent Part 2 again. As the Cap'n already reviewed the movie, I'm going to include that link here and give you a few thoughts on watching the film with a crowd:

- all of the film's problems (of which there are many) are compounded when less forgiving eyes are subjected to bad acting, pointless plot developments (it's true, if they're entering the cave through an elevator into a mine shaft, there's nothing Sarah can help them with AT ALL), and really bad acting.
- the gore, on the other hand, really does hold up and is punctuated well enough that you can forgive the crapitude that generally surrounds it.
- those may be the best lit caves I've ever seen, considering there's nowhere for a light source to be other than the spelunkers who brought virtually no gear.
- the film's plot holes, inconsistencies, and ill-conceived editing actually kept people interested between the excessive (read: awesome) gore shots.
- the ending still caught everybody unawares. It really does come out of left field.
- Brian Dennehy's brother would clearly be named Brian-Doyle Dennehy, and so will anybody else's brother for the rest of the night.


As the Cap'n just indicated, Leprechaun 3 is next (also known as "Warwick Davis wanders around Las Vegas for 90 minutes").
