Tenderness (2009)

Don't bother with this one!

[2/10 · 12 June 2011]

I love Russell Crowe. The guy who plays Eric is pretty cute and a good actor. So, one star for each of them: but, even Oscar-winner Russell Crowe couldn't save this one.

The supposed chemistry between Lori & Eric just didn't work for me. The sub-plot with the Detective and his wife wasn't fleshed out enough to make me care.

On the plus side, The cinematography was gorgeous and the cast definitely can act. However, the pace is PAINFULLY slow for a thriller. And (no spoilers) the ending was a bit anti-climatic.

I just kept wishing it would end which, gladly, it finally did.

The Crow: Wicked Prayer (2005)

Terrible

[1/10 · 12 September 2005]

This film sounded so good, I was actually looking forward to it.

I was looking forward to seeing Edward Furlong in something and Dennis Hopper seldom disappoints. I am a fan of the TV shows, "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel," so I was totally psyched about David Boreanaz being in this movie: what a disappointment.

The story leaves a lot to be desired, the direction was terrible, sets & costumes were unbelievably bad and the performances could have been phoned in. Even my favorite, David Boreanaz, put in the worst performance I've ever seen from him.

Don't bother watching this unless you are a huge fan of the Crow series. I don't think any one else would get much enjoyment out of it. I know I didn't.
