MOVIE REVIEW
We've seen Brendan Fraser play adorable and stupid characters such as in George of the Jungle and Dudley-do-Right, and he is no different in Blast From the Past, a movie about a man who was raised in a bomb shelter for thirty-five years and believed that the world had been destroyed by a nuclear holocaust. Fraser, at least in the first two thirds of the film, is a complete idiot, and then he mellows out. At first his excitement is genuine but after that you really start to believe that something is wrong with his head because he is so out of it. Of course, maybe that's what someone who had never seen the sky before would look like. Full movie review »
