So here’s the story… see if you can follow this. To add to that the usually really quite good James Remar (Dexter’s daddy!) picks up the role of Raiden. In their place we have Chris Conrad as Johnny Cage for about 30 seconds (SPOILERS He get’s killed like a bitch in the first scene) and Sandra Hess and Sonya. Now Lambert has never been one to be picky about his roles and I doubt Wilson and Ashby are either so it makes you wonder just how bad this looked from the start that they decided to drop out. Bridgette Wilson and Linden Ashby both both decided to not be a part of this as did Christopher Lambert. Then they give you a quick recap of the last film with a load of cropped and zoomed shots to avoid showing the 2 people smart enough to not allow their name to be signed to this shit. They start the movie with a recycled effect. Within the first 3 seconds you’ll know you’re in a bad place when the title logo comes up and it’s the exact same one from the first film. There is not a single aspect of this film that I could even on my most generous day say was good.

Mortal Kombat Annihilation is not at all like that. Despite all it’s story, character and pacing flaws it still manages to be a piece of fun entertainment. I still kind of enjoy that film even if it isn’t a particularly good film. So the first film I reviewed on here was Mortal Kombat. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Citizen Kane of movies referred to ironically as the Citizen Kane of videogame based movies… Mortal Kombat Annihilation. A film that managed to kill dead my interest in a whole franchise for a number of years.

Anyway, I figured I should pick out a film that means something to me. Is that good going? How many does Ebert do in a year? Does Google want to pay me to do this? All are questions that I’d like to be answered with the word “yes”. If I keep this pace up I could do 200 in a year. It dawned on me earlier this week that in the space of a little over 3 months I had written nearly 50 movie reviews.
