A Zone’s Eye View of "Unbakeable" |

|
The Directorial Debut of Paul Salamoff, "Unbakeable" is a welcome and refreshing take on comedy, and it is definitely exciting to see what the future may hold for his upcoming works. "Unbakeable" is a 10min. parody on M. Night Shyamalan's "Unbreakable" with Bruce Willis. In the original, Willis played a character that was never got sick or injured, nearly invincible. His nemesis, Dr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) was just the opposite, having a condition that made him extremely fragile. Salamoff's parody had the two opposites in a quite different predicament. David Done discovers one day that he has never in his life been drunk or stoned. He is incapable, and only realizes this after an all night bender where no one is left conscious. The realization is brought to him by his nemesis, "Dr. Grass" (Orlando Jones "Evolution") who is just the opposite, and cannot consume any substance of any kind. They test the theory on David, giving him pounds of drugs to consume, but to no avail. The parody, though short, was so hilarious and well made, that you will wish it was a feature film! Orlando Jones is a wonderful "mirror" to Samuel L. Jackson's "Mr. Glass", and Eric Winzenreid ("David Done") keeps with that "serious" Bruce Willis form of acting. The writing, direction and cinematography was up to any Hollywood standard. Do yourself a favor, for a serious laugh fest, check out IFilm, and watch it anytime you need a good laugh!!!
