Ben & Arthur (2002)

Today on Movie Russian Roulette, Alex watches a movie that is like the unholy offspring of The Room and Birdemic: Shock and Terror.
Not unholy because it's gay; unholy because it's awful
Overview: Ben and Arthur are two happily together gay men who have pretty ordinary lives. Ben (the one in the cover shot) is a soulful nurse who really just wants to play his music. Arthur is unemployed, kind of ugly, and whiny. This is basically the gay version of that sitcom trope where the fat guy with the crappy job has an impossibly hot wife. These two fight cri- wait, no. I wish.

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985)

Today on Movie Russian Roulette, Alex goes back to his roots: cheesy 80s action flicks.
and never continues :(
Overview: Remo Williams is an ex-Marine turned cop who unwittingly fakes his own death. He is then recruited by a shadowy agency to be an assassin for the President, because of course he is. Racism and glorious 80s training montages ensue. When your movie states up-front that it's based on "The Destroyer" novel series, you know you're in for a helluva ride.
