Super Truck of Car City (2016)
Seasons 1-3 were cute
So much "kids" content is loud, violent, and over stimulating. Super truck and all the shows set in car city were simple, gentle shows.
Season 4 they changed it to be like everything else, we're out.
Obsessed (2009)
Garbage.
Go rent Fatal Attraction, or play make-believe with anyone convenient, or hit yourself on the hand with a hammer - any of these three is more fun than this movie.
Not that it doesn't try, and it does so competently - good looking actors, great lighting, etc. The problem is that the acting and cinematography never rise above your average CSI: Miami episode or Lexus commercial. The story could have been assembled randomly out of any number of similar, better, movies.
This is one of those movies where there's no dirt. Movies like this drive me crazy. Even J. Bruckheimer's movies have dirt. There's no dirt in this movie. Everything is perfectly clean, sets are perfectly dressed, actors are perfectly costumed - so the whole thing looks fake.
I saw this movie randomly while overseas. I saw the title was obsessed, and then saw Ali Larter. I could have given you the entire play-by-play within the first five minutes of run.
Maybe if you've been in a coma and missed the last 20 years of film and television you'd consider this movie innovative, or at least interesting. For my money: skip it. I want my money back and I saw it for free.
Driven (2001)
Possibly the worst movie ever made.
You'd think that with the budget required to get Stallone and a bunch of race cars, the producers would have bothered to finish the computer graphics. Furthermore, the writer seems to have forgotten that the key element in drama is conflict, and this movie has no conflict. Some of the driving scenes are interesting, but even those feel phoney. If you want to see good, new Stallone, then rent Cop Land. If you want to see good racing, rent Days of Thunder or get Speedvision.
Friends & Lovers (1999)
Hello Reality?
Okay, so they're twenty-somethings. Okay, so they've got problems or whatever. But does it strike anyone as odd that these guys tool around in Land Rovers and E-class Mercedes'? And, if they've got the cash for their little romps, why do they road-trip to their ski resort rather than fly? The first twenty minutes alone kill the film, the rest is just its fall to the ground.
Arlington Road (1999)
Good idea, but I've seen it somewhere else.
Arlington Road is a pretty good thriller with some decent, if predictable plot turns. I had the bomb-in-Jeff-Bridges'-Car thing figured out before they told us, but it was still neat. Unfortunately, none of the characters really changed enough for there to be big surprises. Now, don't get me wrong, the directing on this picture is top-notch, and it will keep you on the edge of your seat. But, basically, if you want to see psychos and bombings, go see Fight Club. It does this 1000 times better.
