It’s dark, deep and men look to conquer it…..The Cave….but seriously.

The Cave is much like all the movies of this style (The Descent) in which people go down a hole and turns out there is bad shit down there.  I’m still waiting for the feel good movie of the year about people go into a cave and find good things.  Last time we had that was Goonies.

The Cave

I wish I could say that this movie falls into the normal b-horror flicks but honestly it doesn’t as this does have a fair amount of production value to it and has a fair amount of mid-level star power. The Cave could be considered the Ocean’s Eleven of b-level actors with names like: Cole Hauser from 2 Fast 2 Furious, Morris Chestnut from V (the television series), Lena Headey from Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, Piper Perabo from Coyote Ugly and Daniel Dae Kim from LOST…..wow the pure firepower………….alright

So yeah the movie is about a secret in the cave that everyone wants.  The best crack team of cave hunters (not sure what you’d call them) is called to do the work that no one wants to attempt to do….except for the people who put the secret there to begin with.  So yeah I wish I could riff on this more but really the one thing that saved this for the gang that was watching it was the reference of “The Cave” to “Lady Parts”.  Yeah it’s immature but seriously folks if you are still following this blog…..come on.

If you want to play the game then go to about the 17:00 mark and make references to “The Cave” = “Mommy Hole”…..so give it a try remember your score cards:

Head Cave Hunter: Now we will be under for 12 days…

Head Cave Hunter: (with beer in hand) …We are going to go deep on this one

Second in command Cave Hunter: Now remember folks this Cave is a serious piece of work, it’s already taken one life.  Respect it

I think you guys get the idea of what kind of drinking game you can have here.  As for the movie it goes on and it is what it is.  The get trapped and it’s hard to get out and then some kind of creature is down there and if you get bit or infected by it you start to turn into one thus The Cave whips you into something that can never leave because once in the cave you are not the same.  But seriously the movie has a guy turn into a cave thing and that helps them win the boss fight at the end.

So again make this a fun drinking game but not sure if you’d want this in the line up for a movie night unless your group is a tight gang that can riff really well with each other or you will just be watching one of those Saturday afternoon movies on the local WB network. The Cave gets a 2 out of 5 tuxedo footballs but can get an extra football if you can riff with the best
