The Room


The truth is that I really like writing reviews. In fact, I've got two giant document files stored on my PC. One is dedicated to my gaming history, the other is to my film history. In them, I only review the games I have beaten once (or played enough of, think of a fighting game) and the movies I have watched from the beginning to the end. That's right, even the poor media is included. I might consider putting in unfinished stuff in the files in the future, but as for now that is how I have crafted them.

I definitely would not want to bombard this blog of mine with all of the reviews written at once. Rather, I'd like to include the more interesting reviews from them in here, so that anyone can read my thoughts about them. Now that you know the way in how I review things, let's get started on the next movie I had reviewed last year, which is The Room (2003).

"Thanks to the famous review made by the Nostalgia Critic, I wanted to have a few more laughs about this ridiculous bad movie. Even the credits are funny at the start. Most of the crappy but laughable parts are already taken note of by the reviewer, including unreal sex scenes, unbelievable dialogue, what seems to be a crappy weird drunk voice over on Tommy Wiseau and in overall retarded behavior from just about everyone. The plot and direction go hand in hand as messed up blandness. Feels like a blend of average circumstances and dumb love situations, but then on a level so wooden you wouldn't believe it. The mother and Mark pull out their stupid acts several times, making them look like huge, very huge idiots. The “buying flowers” scene is an amazingly bad and fucked up scene. And for God’s sake why is it called The Room!? Don´t tell me it´s because of the low budget!? More ordinary plain stuff right in front of your face.


Wiseau himself seems to be a mental unstable random laughing moron that had the best lines in the movie. I mean things like “I did not hit her. It’s not true. It’s bullshit! I did not hit her. I DID NOOOOTT. Oh hi Mark.”(don’t forget that facial expression towards the end!), “Go on.” (after Johnny hears Denny saying that he is in love with Lisa) and “Chicken, Peter! You´re just a little chicken! Cheep! Cheep-cheep-cheep-cheep cheeeep! “, he has proven to be a fine man indeed. Not to forget about other quotes as well: “What´s going on here?" (Mark who keeps getting surprised), “Johnny doesn’t drink! “(after Lisa told about Johnny abusing her physically and the mother only acknowledges the drinking part) and “I’m sure I will be fine. “(with breast cancer diagnosed) will forever be memorized into my mind if I would want others to experience The Room as I did.

The football scenes are pathetic, it´s just throwing around. Don´t tell me that it´s their favorite thing to do outside this poor movie. And the scene after the suicide…no fucking way. You officially now are clueless dumb humans to me. And when some random guy comes in at the party to tell Lisa and Mark that what they are doing is wrong it just feels so…out of this world. In any case, The Room is a very special “so bad it´s good“ movie and somehow, sort of, I am glad to have seen it. Dozens of jokes and parodies could be made out of it, that´s for sure. Brickyard Jimmy´s review on IMDB is very amusing ("Johnny's best friend Mark, a man who's job seems to be to wear James Brolin's beard from Amityville Horror, shows up and electrifies the screen with a performance so wooden that it belongs in the lumber section of Home Depot.") and Nostalgia Critic´s video review was great as well.

If you are looking for a genuine "so bad it's good" movie, then you should really check out this new vision on amazing directed cinema. There are uncountable errors towards this title, and best of all, the director, the star himself, acknowledges the greatness of his movie, together with all of the fans. Perhaps a primal roar while inserting the following wishful words during The Room really meant an important message not only inside the movie's world, but to ours as well, as if he rediscovered his irrational weird way of thinking:

“IM FED UP WITH THIS WORLD!"
