The Rock For President?, + Negative Movie Review

Feb 8, 2012

— During an interview with Moviefone, The Rock spoke about a possible future in politics. Here is what he had to say… “Right now the best way that I can impact the world is through entertainment. One day, and that day will come, I can impact the world through politics. The great news is that I am American, therefore I can become President. But don’t forget: I am G.I. Joe.”

— The San Francisco Chronicle recently reviewed Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, which stars The Rock. Here are some comments from the article, and the critic wasn’t that impressed…

“Again poking Jules Verne’s remains with a sharp stick, the producers of the 2008 hit “Journey to the Center of the Earth” present their second modern take on the 19th century fantasist’s wild stories. And “Mysterious Island” is every bit the amusement park ride cloaked as a movie that the first “Journey” was, the new flick stranding a misfit band of adventurers on Verne’s lost island of freakish creatures.”

“It also lacks the likable goof factor of Brendan Fraser, who starred in the first movie but isn’t back for the second. Dwayne Johnson steps in this time, and while he tries to yuck it up amid the nonstop action, he’s just not a goofball on the order of Fraser, who somehow can make extreme silliness palatable with that big, simpering grin of his. Johnson, on the other hand, merely simpers.”

“If only the movie had the hint of a brain.”
