The rock is a decent actor, I think... I think with most people it's the "halo and horns" effect... Pro Wrestling is full of bad acting, so they project bad acting onto him when he does real acting... He's no genius, but he did good enough in things like the Rundown.

Granted, i never watched Doom, but even the best actors can blow with a mediocre director (Boll's movies, anyone?), so an average actor doesn't have a chance. Directors will make or break movies...

What I'm surprised about is that I forgot there was a recent Spy Hunter game...

Hope they don't screw it up... but the odds are good that they will. $10 says that the movie is horrible.

I would say that Paul WS Anderson is the Uwe Boll for film buffs, but Uwe Boll is the Uwe Boll for film buffs. Regardless, Anderson is a terrible director who is just like Boll when it comes to destroying video games. Maybe they should team up on a movie...

Cut Paul W.S. Anderson some slack, he is like Orson Wells or Martin Scorsese compared to Uwe Boll. Also he bangs up on Milla Jovovich, surely that counts for something? I'm not gay but I'd have sex with him just to invoke that "last 7 partners" rule.

Ooo! I am pleased with this director change. Mostly because his name is awesome.
Paul W.S. Anderson
Surrounded by the auditory equivalent of a good Sci-Fi author is a pair of excellent initials.

The best thing about the recent Spy Hunter video game was the contest Midway ran on their website back in August. I won it and got a brand new 2007 Saturn Sky from them. I still have the documentation from Midway to prove it.

Is that a dude on the right in the picture? That's some major cleavage going on, regardless.

They've already got a hard enough time trying to sell me on it, but if the Peter Gunn theme isn't in it? Then no, sorry.

Anderson, mostly famous for the Resident Evil and Aliens vs. Predator flicks, is also hard at work ruining/remaking Death Race 2000. No word from Variety on whether these projects will interfere with his work on the Castlevania film.

Man, if this dude ruins Castlevania, I will seriously flip out. Completely unacceptable.

I think Paul did descent job with Mortal Kombat 1, although it was far from a masterpiece, it's still okay.

But seriously, do not fuck with Castlevania. That shit is holy stuff.

This is certainly some excruciating excrement no one should be excited by.

Isn't The Rock a retired wrestler? The game's main point is the car. Will they make that? Or will thwey go all James Bond or something?

I just want mindless action. Don't tell me they can't make mindless action work!
