The Box

Overview:  Everything looks peachy with the Lewis family... all up until the peaches start to mold and sprout little white hairs; translation= they receive pay cuts and their son is awkward.  Things start to look brighter (in a grim way) when a man with a bad case of the botox presents them with a Box.  Within the box is a button, and if pressed one person whom they don't know in the world will die, but the upside is they'll receive payment of $1,000,000.  What will they choose?! I personally think they should press the button, get the money, and pay to have the man's face fixed.

The Good:  This is one of those Faust-like films that make you do some deep soul searching.  When watching the movie we all say to ourselves "I would never push that button.  I go to Sunday school every day.  Everybody poops", but if we were presented with the box what would we do?  This is a powerful movie about morals, which in a odd way makes it creepier than most, because it can make you question yourself.

The Bad:  The movie is one of our favorites to watch, but there are a couple times during this movie that become so boring that I would rather study for my Human Anatomy class just for fun... and that's when you know the world has been flushed down the toilet.

The Ugly:  besides the mans face which looks more like the black lung of a smoker, the movie is as delicious as a peeled apple.  I liken "The Box" unto a box (ha!) of Lucky Charms, there are the normal parts of the cereal that taste like sandpaper, but a majority of the time you're squealing with delight over the amount of marshmallows that make your taste-buds scream "GIGGITY!!"
