Terminal Exposure (1987)
This film has so many problems that I don't know where to begin.
There are two categories of BAD movies. 1. Being the funny bad movies that you get together with your buddies and heckle (ie. plan 9 from outer space, Eegah etc.) Then there are just plain BAD BAD movies that shouldn't have been made. I believe with all my heart that this movie falls into the second category. This film has it all...poor acting, dialogue, sound, lighting, story, acting, plot...the makers of this film failed to get one thing right. This film is also a type of spin off of that John Travolta movie called "blow out" where he captures a murder by accident with his camera.
I chuckled a few times during the film where I just couldn't believe that something as bad as I was watching had made it to video release. There are also some moments in the film that come out of left field. For example, in the first 20 mins of the film, the director thinks that it would be cool to all of a sudden make all the action slow mo..."yeah that'll look great!!!guys love slow mo of cheezy, frizzy haired girls playing volley ball" And the soundtrack...don't even get me started.
If any of you are into film making, and feel that your stuff is not good enough, rent this picture and you will feel 400 times better about your material. In fact, I recommend this film to all who watch movies all the time and maybe have a hard time finding the true gems...this will certainly make the next few movies you watch feel like pure genious.
Out of 5 stars, I give this film 0, as I feel that even one star is positive in some way. Those that made this film should be ashamed.
Route 9 (1998)
A highly annoying film
Just finished watching this movie.
I was shaking my head throughout the entire show. I can't stand it when the supposed "protagonists" are idiots. It burns in me that I spent over a dollar for the rental and an hour and a half of my life to watch this tripe.
The opening 10 minutes were great...I thought, wow, great setup...but then it went all down hill. It seemed I was one if not two steps ahead of the plot at all times.
I don't recommend this film for anyone.
Free Money (1998)
Big names, Big bomb
This is a good example of a bad movie. I had to take a break in the middle, as I can not sit through the entire 1hr 42 mins in one go. Almost every aspect of this film gets on my nerves...especially the Swedes daughters.
I have vented enough and shall never think of this movie again.
Do yourself a favour and pass this one up.
Enemy at the Gates (2001)
The Professional meets Full Metal Jacket.
I saw this film at a sneak preview. It was entertaining enough to keep me and my friends in our seats.
I was disappointed with the romantic sub-plot and felt that it needed more depth and feel. The love scene was horrible and did not seem to fit in with the whole feel of the film. I believe that it was put their because every movie needs a "love scene." SPOILER ALERT One thing I did not understand, and have been bugged by ever since, is the placing of the enemy's gun into the hands of our dead newspaper writer. If anyone out there has any thoughts on this, could you please e-mail them to me.
