Release: November 9, 2011
Movie: The Cell (2000)
The review contains examples of:
- Actor Allusion: During the flashback to Carl's Freudian Excuse, Critic plays footage over Full Metal Jacket where Vincent D'Onofrio played Private Pyle.
-
Captain Obvious Aesop: "It dares to bring light to a concept we'd never thought about before: child abuse is bad!!" - Freudian Excuse: Analyzed and trashed at length, as he discusses how he can't feel sorry for the villain because all we get is "he was beaten as a kid" and that's a shoddy reason for growing up to be a Serial Killer.
- Running Gag: "Be disturbed".
- "Ask me what it means! Ask me what it means!"
- Soundtrack Dissonance: While the two detective share a quiet discussion, the Critic plays "The Chicken Dance" while showing a clip of the trapped victim's room filling up with water.
"If we can't stop him, he ain't gonna stop himself."
