Boston Strangler: The Untold Story (2008)
Absolutely terrible
"Boston Strangler : The Untold Story" is a poorly acted, horrendously written, low budget, garbage movie. This film fails on so many levels, it's difficult to know where to start. The acting is about on the level you would expect from a high school theater. As to why Bud Bundy was cast as the lead in this role, I'll never know. But to the actor's credit, they didn't have much to work with. The writing in this film is among the worst I've ever seen. We are forced to sit through many long pointless scenes and terrible, self-serving, completely unrealistic dialog sequences.
I recommend no one see this movie. Doing almost anything else for an hour and a half would be a better use of your time.
Bulletproof Monk (2003)
Crap
I was really really dissapointed. I went in with less than high expectations. All I wanted to do was to be entertained for a couple hours because I was having a really boring day. The story is stupid, but that type of stuff doesn't really matter in a movie like this cuz you know its gonna be stupid. The comedy is really nonexistent, but I didn't expect it to be that great. Mainly what I wanted to see was some good kung fu scenes, but the fighting was so chopped up, I couldn't even tell what was going on!
The only good thing about oging to see this movie was I saw a trailer for Shaolin Soccer, which I later saw and liked.
I say skip it.
Malibu's Most Wanted (2003)
One of the worst movies I have ever seen.
Watching Malibu's Most Wanted is sheer torture. This is without a doubt the least funniest movie I have ever had the misfortune of sitting through. Jamie Kennedy plays B-Rad, a white guy who acts like he is black. In the usual formulaic b-movie plot (ala Black Sheep), B-Rad's father is running for governer and needs to have "the black" scared out of his, or he will not win the race. It is more than painful to watch Jamie Kennedy do his hour and a half "wigger" routine. After the first five minutes all I could think about is how bad I just wanted him to shut up. This movie stinks!
Outlaw Women (1983)
This movie is shot with a camcorder
I may be the only one in the world who actually has this movie, but it is really really crappy. The acting is non existent, the plot is long and stupid, and it is shot with a camcorder. As far as the porno part goes, all but one girl are ugly, and they are all really hairy. This porno also spends most of the time furthering the stupid plot. Two thumbs down.
Solaris (2002)
The most boring movie I have ever seen.
I have never seen the original version of Solaris, but after seeing the remake, I do not care to. This movie reminded me a whole lot of my senior Biology class. It lasted forever, it made no sense to me, and it was incredibly dull. Quite frankly, this movie is unwatchable. I have never seen a film creep along at a slower pace. For every 30 seconds of actual dialouge or action, we are forced to sit through 10 minutes of close ups on George Clooney's face, and views of stars out in space. This makes the plot incredibly difficult to understand because by the time you are done staring at the 10 minute closeup of George Clooney laying down on a bed, your mind has wondered and you can't really remember what is going on. I spent most of my time watching other people in the theatre. When the show started the place was nearly full, by the end of the movie almost half the viewers had walked out. Unfortunatly I was not one of them, although the thought had occured to me over and over again. When Solaris finally ended everyone stood up in unison and began piling out as quickly as possible. Bottomline, unless you are a raging insomniac who is in dire need of sleep, there is absolutely no reason to see this movie. Save your self the $7 and just sit at home and watch the paint dry on the walls.
The Emperor's Club (2002)
I know what you are thinking, but your wrong
"The Emperor's Club" looks a heck of alot similar to "Dead Poet's Society" on the surface. The two movies are worlds apart though. The Emperors Club is not another movie where a teacher comes to a school full of misbehaving animals and some how motivates them all to care about school. We have already seen that movie 100 times. I guess you could actually say it is the exact opposite. I was pretty pleased with the movie as a whole. The story was interesting and non formulaic. I figured I would be bored to tears, but I was actually interested through out the entire movie. I give it a 7.5/10
Stolen Summer (2002)
BOOOOORRRRRIIIINNNNNNG!
This film isn't all bad. It is just incredibly boring. The acting is pretty good and the characters aren't total cliche's. The father could have very easily been a stubborn, jew hating monster, but instead he comes off as being a human. Slightly prejudice, but overall a normal person. It is really the story that kills this one. It is really predictable and kinda redundant. I got the feeling like it really didn't matter either way which religion the kid chose. Overall this movie isn't terrible, but it isn't really worth watching either.
The Lesson (2002)
Not too shabby
The Lesson is a short story of a women who teaches a poor boy to play piano. The film really interested me, and I found I could not stop watching it. I guess I just wanted to see what was next. I love the ending, happy and sad at the same time. This is probably one of the better short films I have done. The acting is descent, and so is the story. My only real complaint is there are some cheesy effects that don't really add to it. This short is worth checking out though. you won't want your 8 minutes back.
The Switch (1999)
I guess anyone can make a movie.
I guess anyone can make a movie. This short is so poorly made, it is almost like it is making fun of itself. Bad acting, rehashed formulaic story, and crappy camera work make this one a must miss. This is a typical Tucker Denise short I guess. Make sure to skip this one.
