Disaster Movie (2008)
I don't know, but it made me laugh pretty hard, so...
The ridiculously low rating caught my attention. Curiosity finally got the best of me, so I chanced to watch it. It was a typical spoof movie, like "Meet the Spartans", full of slapstick laughs.
The movies I saw where:
10,000 B.C., Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, No Country for Old Men, Wanted, Juno, Harold and Kumar, Hancock, The Day After Tomorrow, Jumper, Narnia Prince Caspian, Enchanted, Step Up 1 & 2, Iron Man, Hell Boy, Hulk, Get Smart (dog poop on the phone shoe. What a classic. LOL.), Batman, Speed Racer, Beowulf, Kung Fu Panda, "Me, Myself, and Irene"
The dance and fight choreography where impressive, and the special effects weren't bad. Good production value.
Debut for some talent, too. I did not recognize the same actor in so many parts.
There where also some things that I just didn't understand at all, but they made me laugh anyway, for some reason.... Like the black dance double. What's that about? LMAO?!
Sure, I'll play along with the low rating gag. Wouldn't want to ruin it. I didn't know it was just a joke. I guess I'll see "Epic Movie", now.
Seven Pounds (2008)
The most emotional movie ever made.
This is a masterpiece of film-making. It's the must-see of the decade. My new favorite movie. There is a message. There is meaning. There is depth. It is a movie worth watching.
If you are conditioned to expect explosions and car chases, (guilty here), it may seem boring or puzzling through the first half, but it is a mystery, and the elements keep your subconscious fascinated, and you realize it's kind of relaxing and enjoyable. And you wait, and you wonder.
And then the time comes for it to all come together, and it is like a revelation from God.
I really don't want to say more, lest I spoil it.
And very well done, Mr. Smith, and all who where involved.
Thank you. Very good work.
Hunger (2008)
Try again, please.
It is a story that needs to be told, but there needs to be more too it. They need to tell what happened before and after this, and during, in other places, beside that lame prison.
There just wasn't enough substance. The guy swept the water in the hall for 3 minutes. And there where a lot of things like that just to fill up the time.
I can only give it a 2. Please try again. Don't fill the thing up with a lot of long dramatic still shots of things we see every day. It's just too boring. If you believe in it, do it right, and make it interesting.
Monster's Ball (2001)
Very poorly written.
This movie will insult your intelligence. It mocks humanity. It is very poorly written. Why did these famous actors agree to do this? Did they go out together and lose all their money in Vegas and become extremely desperate?
Why did the father hate his son so much? Why did the son commit suicide? Why was the nice black man executed?
I was horrified by the impossible evil nature of the father and wanted to just stop watching this ridiculous movie, but I had to find the answer to these questions. I trusted the writer would not be so abandon that he would least give an answer, and believe it or not, THERE'S NEVER A SINGLE ATTEMPT TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS! That's just wrong.
This movie is absolutely mindless. Nothing has any virtue at all except for shock value and dramatic emotion.
I'm sure this author does not know what it's like to have children. There has probably never been parent in the history of mankind who has ever hated their child like that. I don't think it's possible. After you have sacrificed time and money and pain to just to change diapers until the child can walk, he will be very precious to you. HOW MUCH MORE if he grows up to be a good and handsome young man with a good job and he looks up to and admires his father so he even follows his career.
We are supposed to believe that the star of the movie could be so evil that he tell his son he has always hated him and could then watch his son commit suicide and never shed a tear and then tell everyone he was glad he was dead!
These kinds of things never happen in reality. Only in some amateur author's depraved imagination. The average 14 year old, 9th grade English student can write a more convincing script than this.
Anyone with a soul will want this man to die and someone else take center stage. That's what I was expecting to happen. But he becomes the hero of the movie! That's twisted!
Watching this movie is like subjecting yourself to trauma based mind control. I wouldn't recommend it. I'm scarred for life now. Please save yourself!
The only thing good is the acting. Not enough to make it worth watching. The only way I can redeem this tragedy is by making a solemn vow to forever steer clear of these writers, Will Rokos, Milo Addica. I'm sure everything written by them stinks. Guys, writing is not your calling. I beg you, please find something you're good at.
The rating system usually works great at IMDb, but I'm sorry to see that in this case it has failed.
