Ryan Reynolds Starred In What Is Perhaps The Worst Movie Ever

The only reason I remember this movie is because it was so terrible.

Ryan Reynolds Starred In What Is Perhaps The Worst Movie Ever
Buried

I write this article to educate the masses.

I don't want my audience to suffer the same fate I did and waste a couple hours of their life. Only one man shares my misery and that is my father. We had the pleasure of watching a movie called Buried together.

This was back in the Blockbuster days when we had one a couple minutes away from our home. It was a ritual to go there every weekend and pick out a few movies to watch. There was always a large selection that is unrivaled by Netflix to this day. I'm talking recent movies from the theater that just came out on DVD, not the low-budget ones Netflix has. Blockbuster had movies that I wanted to watch with actors that I knew and liked, or so I thought.

Most of you have heard of a man named Ryan Reynolds. He is an actor known for his looks and his role in "The Proposal" and "Deadpool."

In 2010 he starred in "Buried," a movie about a man buried alive in a coffin in the desert somewhere in Iraq.

The whole movie takes place in a dark coffin and the perspective is akin to that of an ant crawling on Ryan's face. The camera is that close, believe me, filming in a box doesn't give you many options.

He is equipped with two items to help him get out of this coffin buried six feet under the ground: a cell phone and a lighter. He uses the cell phone to tell his wife he won't be home for dinner and call authorities for help. The lighter is used to provide light and suck up oxygen. There is a whopping total of one actor in the movie, our dear friend Ryan, and everyone else that plays a role is voice only. I'm serious, if you check IMDB.com you can see every other actor is listed with (voice) next to their name.

At this point, you might be wondering why I didn't just shut off the movie 20 minutes in when I realized I would be watching the same scene for an hour and a half. Unlike those of you reading this that are weak-spirited quitters, I finish what I start. Even if it's a bad movie. (Okay you quitters might be the smart ones in this situation.)

There was a part of me that wanted to see this man get out of the box so badly! Towards the grand finale, you hear the voice on the other end of the phone say "We're coming for you, we found your location, we're digging you up!" The screen begins to rattle and the box is filling with sand as time runs out for Ryan.

Then there is a pause, "Oh my goodness. It's not him. I'm so sorry." That's it?! Did they find another guy buried alive in a coffin in the desert of Iraq? What are the odds? I can tell you one set of odds, the odds that I just wasted my life watching the worst movie ever: 1 in 1.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
