Summary

Another split decision on the latest first run Bald Movie, the WW2-themed action-horror film, Overlord. The serious and somber tone set against the gonzo and outrageous action quickly lost Jim.

0:10.1	I was very mad on this movie after seeing it
0:14.8	Really? Yeah, the the tone was not what I was hoping for. It was a little too serious. I was hoping for something more fun more akin to like
0:27.3	Doom meets Wolfenstein kind of thing, but it's not what I got.

1:10.9	worse scenes up front was as horrific as anything I've ever seen in any other movie.

1:47.0	God damn. But yeah, I thought that was really well done. I thought that the characters were,
1:53.6	like they did, they did a smart thing
1:57.2	by sticking to some pretty well-worn archetypes.
2:00.8	So you instantly kind of got them and started kind of I mean I swear some of these guys were literally I would believe you if they said that they just broke a guy out of saving Private Ryan that they he'd
