Neighbors (1981)
Boring, boring , boring
This is a terrible movie. The worst part is it was advertised on TV as a comedy. A short 10 second snippet of Dan Akroyd, John Belushi and Kathy Moriarty sitting around talking, giving impression that you need to go see the movie to hear the hilarious punch line that they didn't show in the advertisement. So people go to the movie only to find out there was no hilarious punch line at the end of that scene, or any other scene. No hilarious lines, not a belly laugh, not a laugh, not a grin, not a smile not even a hint of a smile, just two hours of boredom, wondering if you should leave now or wait on the promised laugh, which never comes. In one scene John Belushi gives Dan Akroyd $50 to go buy a carry-out supper. Dan goes next door and makes spaghetti. As we walked out of the movie the man behind said: "I feel like I just paid Dan Akroyd $50 for a plate of bad spaghetti."
Lost in Translation (2003)
Boring, boring, boring.
A boring movie about boring people acting bored and being bored and boring the audience. A few good lines in the movie where one might crack a subconscious smile, but not a real smile, certainly not a giggle. There is no action, just Bill Murray playing Bill Murray, moping around Tokyo, boring everybody he meets. Scarlett Johanson sitting around looking bored. This is the worst movie I've seen since Neighbors. Anyone who watches this movie will sit there thinking, hoping, that eventually something will happen, that there will be a laugh, or something, anything, will happen to break the slow motion dragging along, wondering if they should get up and leave now or have faith that maybe something is going to happen, but it never does. If theaters gave refunds when people were dissatisfied with a movie, this turkey would have been dropped like a hot potato the third day out. I have lost all faith in critics. I guess they think this movie was deeeeep.
