Down the Shore (2011)
Wonderful...but ignore the plot holes
I love James Gandolfini and this little movie showed me why. In Down the Shore he is a sad, lonely man disappointed in what life has handed him and yet powerless to change anything. The bleak setting of the shore in winter, a broken down amusement park and the tiny run down houses (although the house weirdly gets bigger and nicer as the film goes on), produce an almost claustrophobic feeling to the film. Everyone before has said it..its beautifully acted and filmed. But afterwards I kept asking myself questions in the plot that were never fully explained. I gave it an 8 because it's a beautiful well crafted film...but flawed.
Wild Hogs (2007)
So many well known actors..How can it be THIS bad!
What a disappointment I will watch ANYTHING...ANYTHING....and I turned this off. I thought this was a movie my husband and I might both like when I rented it. But we looked at each other half way through and said "This is SO bad." The worst part, for me, was seeing John Travolta and William Macy in this unfunny,poorly written, and terribly directed mistake. I expect less from Martin Lawrence and Tim Allen...but this wasn't even as good as their TV shows....Ray Liotta...Marissa Tomei...PETER FONDA!! Beside the poor writing and the general feeling of strained humor, the film is totally predictable.AS the movie got worse the names got bigger.....Do yourself a favor and skip it...The cast should have.
