I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007)
awful, simply awful. Lighting people should be exiled from LA.
I normally do not watch romantic comedies, but I do enjoy them, and am not averse to estrogen-laden cinema. This movie, however, was difficult to continue watching. Lovitz did good work, Rudd was pretty solid, Pfeiffer did not bring her best, although she still shines--albeit excessively--in this turd of a movie.
The most enjoyable part of this movie was trying to predict which lighting option was gonna hit Michelle Pfeiffer in each scene. And the other redeeming quality was Stacey Dash, she's beautiful. And Henry Winkler, the Fonz rules.
Save you money, do not watch this. Straight to DVD for many reasons.
Wake the Witch (2010)
awful too strong a word, but pretty close to it
I gave it 2 stars 'cause one has to recognize that someone, somewhere, put a fair amount of work into this turd, but I'm sorry to say their work was in vain. The acting was really bad, with odd pauses and at best, mediocre writing. Throughout most of the film it feels like it was put together with a meat cleaver, so kudos to the editor.
Now, it does have it's interesting moments, like the way the ghosts or whatever they are move through the forest--the four legged running like primates was cool. Other than that, it's hard to find something that's worth mentioning.
save your time and money. Even if it's free, toss it. I paid 10 pesos for it and it was too much money.
Paranômaru akutibiti: Dai-2-shô - Tokyo Night (2010)
solid, but not great
I bought this for 10 pesos and it's about the right price for it. The sound effects are as creepy as the first one and the movements of the possessed actress are quite good. As others have mentioned, there's a little twist at the end and for some reason it didn't seem as creepy as the rest of the film.
Unlike the other films, there's no real explanation as to why the entity chooses this pair of siblings to play with.
Another aspect that must be mentioned is that it's pretty true to the formula, so if you liked the other two you'll probably dig this one too.
Overall, if you can get your hands on it secondhand or used, then by all means get it. Full DVD price, I don't think so.
