Brüno (2009)
Just terrible
It is difficult to put into words how bad this movie was. I was remotely excited to see it as I thought it would be funny even if somewhat disgusting at parts as Borat was; this was not true though. As many of the people he pranked likely thought, much of his antics amounted to near-pornography or straight-up pornography with black bars used to gain an R rating.
I understand some of the point was to expose ignorance about homosexuality but I think Cohen as Bruno has set back that goal and created more ignorance and disrespect by being as ignorant and disrespectful as the worst homophobes or at times even worse.
For the most part I would say that claiming this movie has any purpose at all other than angering and disgusting people would be giving Cohen and everyone else who helped make this movie far too much credit.
For the first time in quite a while I actually seriously regret spending my money on this movie as it was a waste and subsidized a fraud.
Crank: High Voltage (2009)
Terrible
I expected this movie to be much better. The first was interesting. It was typical action but with some progressive techniques that made it unique and compelling. This sequel just seemed like the product of ADHD and some actual crank. There are so many nonsensical, idiotic parts that any value this movie had is overwritten with statements of "Wow, this is stupid."
I would say wait for it to come out on DVD or fins it by some other means but do not support this waste of space in theaters already filled with bad movies. And adding to this film's sales will only cause another sequel which does not seem like a good idea at all.
Disaster Movie (2008)
Worst. Movie. Ever.
First things first: disregard the rating above because they don't allow for rating low enough for this movie. I would honestly say 0 for real numbers although negative would be more appropriate since I left the theater feeling worse than when i entered.
Next, I have to preface this by saying I only watched the first half of the movie. I'll also add that I have never walked out of a movie theater and i would have walked out far earlier if I were by myself. Luckily i saw it for free so those idiots who made it will get no profit from me.
I presume that this movie is meant to be a comedy yet in 45 minutes i did not even chuckle at the movie. I laughed at my friend's face because it matched my own: "Why are we subjecting ourselves to this?" Crude humor can be funny, idiotic humor can be funny. Somehow Disaster Movie takes these kinds of humor to a lower level than I have ever seen. I have seen nearly all the other movies of this variety and they had some remote humor, this had none.
I do not think hallucinogenic drugs could have salvaged this movie experience.
I felt like someone should make a TV infomercial warning against these movies. Like the ones that tell kids not to smoke or say "If you have mesothelioma you are entitled to monetary compensation, call this number for details."
If I had possessed the materials I would have made a shirt to warn people constantly about this.
Please do not see this movie. Although if you know someone you need to get back at tell them to see this.
