In The Rundown, Dwayne (“The Rock”) Johnson is Beck, a bounty hunter (sorta), working for a mobster who’s son Travis (Sean William Scott) has run off to South America. Travis is searching for an ancient idol of gold that’ll make him rich. Beck just wants to bring Travis back, collect his money, and open the restaurant he’s always dreamed of. An action flick that gives good mindless entertainment. Christopher Walkin puts in an appearance as a bad man enslaving people in the jungle. And Sean William Scott ends up in handcuffs a couple of times.

Found some Ben Browder on You Tube:
The 24th Day
The 24th Day (2004) finds Tom (Scott Speedman), a straight guy who gave in to his curiosity, seeking revenge on Dan (James Marsden), the one night stand he believes infected him with HIV. Tom handcuffs Dan in his apartment and takes a blood sample to confirm his suspicions.
Originally a play, it makes a good movie and is well acted as the captor and captive debate their case with one another. Tom is determined to carry through and Dan tries to use logic, lies and charm to get free. The only disappointment is that you’d figure with two majorly hot guys in a movie that centers around their having had sex, at least one of them would get their shirt off.
Hellbent
Billed as “the first ever gay slasher film,” Hellbent follows a group of young gay men who are off to a Halloween festival. Now a couple of things we learn:
- (1) When you live in a town with grisly unsolved mass murders, don’t go walking through the woods at night.
(2) When you do go walking through the woods at night anyway, don’t taunt the masked psycho killer, it just makes him mad.
(3) When you think you’ve escaped the masked psycho killer, wait to make sure before you let your boyfriend handcuff you to the bed.
But then we knew that. . . . right?
Ben Browder
Here’s a few caps of Ben Browder on a recent episode of Stargate SG1, “Memento Mori” where he manages to get shot and handcuffed to a bed without his clothes. I liked the line that the Samantha Carter character has: “I think it’s funny how you’re always losing your pants.”
Also, it made for a great way for them to save money on the special effects budget.
