Killing Season (2013)
Another pay cheque performance for Mr. De Niro?
Well I really don't know what I expected from this movie at all but I know that it was worse than I expected. I don't know what was harder to get through: Travolta's "accent" or the storyline as a whole.
I was cringing when I watched the trailer for this back when it was still not out yet because these two just don't fit their roles. I absolutely adore Mr. De Niro but I don't know why he just isn't trying anymore with his role selection. Mr. Travolta hasn't really disappointed me because I haven't LOVED many of his performances. In the beginning, I wasn't sure how bad this would eventually end up being (although based on how little character development there is I should have suspected) and even though the synopsis gave me an idea of how awful it would be - I carried on.
Without going into spoiler territory, I can say that right from the beginning I knew exactly where it was going and how it would end. And boy was I right! (not a celebratory moment)
My final verdict is basically that I just feel sad watching De Niro commit his time and talent to these types of movies. I wish he would go back to doing well worth it films where the story isn't written by Evan Daugherty - whose credits are: Snow White and The Huntsman (utter sh*t, I mean, KRISTEN STEWART IS IN IT) and G.I. Joe 3 (no, not even the first one... which was sh*t, too)
Jack and Jill (2011)
I left the theatre...
Well there isn't much to say really about Jack & Jill. I knew it was going to be one of the worst movies I've seen, but i didn't think anything could get worst than The Happening. I was wrong. I went to see this movie because I thought that it would be laughably bad. As it turns out, unfortunately, it was infuriatingly bad. I got about halfway-three quarters away through before there was a scene in the woods where Jack&Jill were arguing and Jill throws her pet bird out of the shot and is forgotten about. At the very end of it the homeless friend has the bird between two buns and he says "It flew into my buns"....c'mon, so at that point, failed joke after failed joke, I left. And so, by that time, there were two people left in the theatre. Left to brave the rest of some of the worst frames in the history of popular film.
