DVD LIVE BLOG: Awake

2:26:01 AM: Oh fuck, Jess had her mail in her purse (with her real name!).

2:26:19 AM: Hayden’s mom should have been a detective.

2:26:50 AM: Also, mom is going to Hell. Sorry, Mike Huckabee says that’s what happens to people that commit suicide.

2:27:16 AM: Evil docs are shitting their pants at the moment. Shooter McGavin is helping the cops!!!

2:27:31 AM: This is fabulous, the drunk doctor is the hero!

2:27:57 AM: My guess is that Hayden will still die.

2:28:43 AM: Jess and Terrence are looking for a way to go out. Meanwhile Hayden has a heartbeat.

2:29:47 AM: Jess is selling Terrence up the river. But, snap back relax, Terrence has her prints on the syringe!

2:31:08 AM: Hayden is choosing to die, he wants to stay in limbo with his mom. I think this means he is technically killing himself too, which means they will both go to hell.

2:31:36 AM: Oh god, now inner monologue Hayden is actually having a real conversation with his dead mom.

2:31:57 AM: There is some big reveal on how daddy really died coming up.

2:32:20 AM: Dad’s doing coke and beating mommy. Sounds like a merry Christmas.

2:32:43 AM: Daddy just took a fireplace poker to the dome!

2:33:10 AM: So now I am assuming he will hate his mom, not want to stay in Hell with her and will choose to live.

2:34:19 AM: Hayden really has a fucked up life and a shitty group of friends. Why live?

2:35:08 AM: Oh shit, now inner monologue dead mom and Hayden are hugging, and he is back to life, back to reality, back to the here and now… Ooo, yeah!

2:35:43 AM: Voice over Terrence is back to tell us the opening was just a deception. Thanks for the reveal.

2:35:56 AM: Justice is served.

2:36:45 AM: I will say one thing about this film. Both Hayden and Jessica didn’t actually do all that bad of an acting job, she is not that bad at playing a vindictive little bitch. He, once again is just a whiny douche, but he fills that role well.

2:36:58 AM: Let’s check out the features really quick…

2:38:00 AM: I am going to skip the commentary with the director and go to the deleted scenes, with the commentary on. It’s optional, but deleted scenes are always a waste of time so may as well have a little diversion while watching them.

2:38:15 AM: There are seven of them.

2:43:38 AM: One scene that was deleted is a nice cliche of mom offering Jessica a check to leave her son alone. Uh, isn’t that all she wanted? Why would she turn it down? Movie could have been much shorter, which would have actually meant more deleted scenes. So I guess it is a lose-lose.

2:45:49 AM: Okay, enough of this.

2:46:25 AM: Deleted scenes are always awful. Unless there is an alternate ending why even watch them?

2:46:43 AM: Let’s see if the making of offers anything.

2:47:33 AM: Bored already. It’s 13 minutes long so it won’t kill you to watch it, but screw it.

2:48:45 AM: There are also some storyboard to film comparisons, but if you have seen that feature once you have seen it enough times. After all, when do the storyboards they show ever differ all that much from the actual scene? That would be a special feature to show… “And you see here the storyboard was completely different from the actual movie…” At least that would be different.

2:50:59 AM: Well, I guess that is it. I can safely say I don’t think you should buy this movie, but I would also say a rental wouldn’t kill you. There are obviously some twists and turns, but it isn’t as if any of it is jaw-dropping.

2:51:44 AM: If you want to buy it you can do that here.

2:51:54 AM: I’m outta here…
