Across the Universe (2007)
Confusing.
This was a movie that I would have asked the theater to refund my money for. I happened across it on television the other day, and I will have to give this ridiculous piece of CRAP a really large "THUMBS DOWN"! Confusing and just plain damned idiotic. Don't get me wrong, pardon the pun, I love The Beatles' music. This was simply atrocious! What the hell were these people thinking? This horrendous film will go down as one of the worst pieces of $h!t that has ever been produced! The lack of dialogue didn't help either. Simply stupid an very confusing. Musicals just aren't what they used to be. Doo Doo! That's it. Just Doo Doo!
Star Trek (2009)
Set phasers on "Stupid!"
Awful movie! Simply awful! "Star Trek XI" has got to be the poorest excuse for a "Star Trek" film yet! JJ Abrams should leave directing motion pictures to people who know what they are doing and stick to producing TV shows!("Fringe" has proved to be an excellent series!) He should especially stay out Gene Roddenberry's universe! Bad story, bad plot, bad direction, bad cinematography. Just a bad movie. Abrams has admitted he was always more a "Star Wars" fan than a Trekker, so what has he done? Abrams, along with writers Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman have managed to take our beloved "Star Trek" franchise and turn it into "Star Wars 90210!" The shaky hand held camera technique (ala' "Cloverfield!") of cinematography and harsh "lens flares" in every scene nauseated me to the point of actually walking out on this movie and demanding my money back! Leonard Nimoy's small part couldn't even help this confused, ill conceived turkey! Bottom line: This was a bad science fiction film that simply contained elements of "Star Trek." That's where the similarities end.
The In-laws (2002)
What a waste of airtime.
This series and Elon Gold were being HYPED as "the next big thing" in sitcoms for NBC. Well, they weren't. Dennis Farina was terribly miscast as the father in-law. He just seemed so uncomfortable and out of place here. The term, "Private 'convo' time!" was supposed to become the "Dyno-mite!" catch phrase of the 21st Century. Well, it wasn't. People were asking then, as they still are today (When his name comes up.), "Who the hell is Elon Gold?" I saw him on an episode of "The Mentalist" this evening. I mentioned his name, and my girlfriend asked, "Who?" Not funny. Total waste of airtime. NBC had really HIGH hopes for this show, but it just fell flat.
