The Unborn (2009)
Became a new genre of film
So a few friends and I went out to go rent this film. We got it and popped it in our laptop. The beginning was confusing but attention grabbing. We were in suspense and getting ready to be terrified. Then the little boy says "Jumby want to be born now". I all remember after that moment is a huge resounding laughter resulting from myself and a few others. Not only is the name ridiculous but the entire plot is just so comedic. It's attempt to be a horror/suspense film is a failed one.
I'm not sure if the screenwriter realized how absurd this story line gets. The acting is mediocre. If anything the main character,Odette Yustman, proved to be a pretty convincing actress. Cam Gigandet was present as eye candy, and that's pretty much it.
Anyway, It became a new genre of film for my friends and me. Now every time we stumble onto a movie that intends to be horror or something else and ends up being funny is classified as a Jumby movie. (I.E. The Orphan is also a Jumby movie.)
If you're looking for a good laugh, rent The Unborn.
The Return of Jezebel James (2008)
I'm trying so hard to like this show...
I am a huge fan of Gilmore Girls, and I've noticed that Amy Sherman has tried to include that trademark fast banter in this show as well. However I don't mind that,but the actors can't seem to pull it off. Parker Posey. I've seen her in a few other films and I liked her acting, but on this show....she seems over the top. It's so obvious that she's trying, ever so hard, to imitate Lorelai's method of speaking although it's evident that she can't pull it off. The other characters don't seem to mesh well together. I enjoy the overall plot and I do think that it is a good show, but the acting brings it down considerably. I've watched the 1st and 2nd episode, and I really have tried to like the show but I just can't. It's so disappointing, I expected so much more.
