I rented this knowing full well I was getting a dumb action movie. I'll pretty much give anything with Nic Cage in it a try because he either acts decently or is so bad that it becomes a comedy. In this movie he just seemed tired and bored which is exactly how I felt. Jumbled action scenes, stupid plot and characters. I never even finished it because I was so disinterested. I haven't seen the original and can already tell you it's much better. Not fast-paced enough to keep my attention and not horrible enough to make fun of, this is one of those crap movies that falls right in between. This movie should have been called Bangkok Retarded.

Be Kind Rewind
(2008)
the previews were the best part
25 February 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I always thought eternal sunshine was way overrated, yes I was pretty entertained by it but it was a little too uneven and relied too much on fantasy to make up for serious script problems. Then came science of sleep, an artsy fartsy wet dream for those people who think radiohead has taken music as a whole to a new level. once again, it had its moments but so uneven and the characters were just boring.
now we get be kind rewind. the most boring, unfunny comedy I've seen in a long time. I went into it hoping to see some great movie spoofs, not learn about fats waller. I'm pretty sure only about 5 things happened in the movie, the rest was just ad libbed nonsense that went nowhere. OK:
1. jack black gets electrocuted UPSIDE DOWN? in a power plant 2. He erases all of the tapes because of said electrocution 3. friend and him reshoot tapes to appease customers, they like it 4. but wait, for whatever reason they are going to tear down the building (because oh yeah its old and worthless) unless they come up with some large amount of money 5. make a biography about whatever danny glover thinks about fats waller, charge people to watch fake history???!!
THE END.

Brokeback Mountain
(2005)
the worst movie ever made about anything
14 March 2006
well, there you have it. you will all call me prejudice and homophobic and say that I secretly love men. and you would be wrong. and you know what else I don't secretly love? brokeback mountain. it's very existence has taught me volumes on the horrors of bad film making. ang lee takes us to a place no one ever asked for, and the result is the worst movie ever made about anything.
written by an old woman who has probably never had homosexual male love, it's obvious the performances and writing are very forced. why not have a gay cowboy write a decent screenplay, and have gay actors? and have an actually decent director! I'm glad this didn't win best picture, but disappointed it lost the razzie.
you stay classy.....world. 1/10 stars.
