The 200th Review: Box Office Purgatory: "The Invasion (2007)"

      Yes, after nearly 2 and a half years and over 400 posts, I have written 200 whole reviews. That's 199 films (X-Men:First Class counts double!) and nearly 350 hours of cinema. And how do I celebrate? By once again introducing a new series that will run for a long time here on Cinema Won (Awfully Direct isn't dead...  mostly). So, now, I proudly introduce Box Office Purgatory! Each week (Give or take) I will look at a notorious box office bomb, many from the list of the 50 biggest bombs of all time (From the "always untrustworthy" Wikipedia). I will give them a review, explain how badly they failed, why I think they failed and if they deserved better. Plus, on the Box Office Purgatory page, I will rank the bombs from best to worst. Now, let's kick things off by not falling asleep!

Awfully Direct: Season 1, Episode 1: Fire With Fire

    And we're back. After a few months hiatus Awfully Direct is back with all new episodes! Thirteen all new episodes to be exact. This is a new thing for Cinema Won. Awfully Direct is now actually the first of two new shows premiering on Cinema Won over the next week. The other show has to do with funny titles. Exciting! Basically, both of these shows will have 13 episode seasons. The shows will run one episode a week (More or less). Then when their season ends I'll take a few weeks break before they return for another 13-episode run. Awfully Direct is first up, with it's Season 1 premiere. (What episodes in November?) Kicking off the season, we have Fire With Fire, a direct-to-DVD film starring... Josh Duhamel, Rosario Dawson and Bruce Willis?
