Ablaze (2001)

warning: watching this movie can cause serious brain damage!

[2/10 · 14 December 2008]

ablaze is absolutely the wort movie i've seen in years. it is so bad that it comes close to being a parody. but parodies were meant to be absurd, the worst thing about ablaze is that it actually tries to be a serious action movie.

i wonder whether the director/producer hung himself after seeing the end result. he should be banned from any film studio for the rest of his life!

there is totally nothing positive to mention about this movie: camera-work is a drama. action scenes are totally absurd. the acting is below every possible standard, the average commercials actors, selling loans, is doing a better job than these people. the movie is loaded with bloopers, all over the place.

this movie trying to be serious is an absolute insult to the viewer's intelligence, even if the viewer is a complete moron.

watching this movie is an absolute waste of time, you could just as well stick your head into the sand for an hour and a half!

Hard Candy (2005)

great movie with a very unsatisfactory ending

[6/10 · 17 February 2008]

the movie itself is great, rating 8 out of 10. the way the emotion of the leading characters is displayed is awesome, accompanied by great camera-work it creates a real thrill. for me and some of my friends (with whom i watched it) i started to really build up a feeling of hate towards the girl, in a way of 'ow my friggin god, you need help because you are completely off the rocker'.

then in the end, the guy hangs himself, doing exactly what the girl wants. whether she does or does not clean up the evidents is no longer relevant. she has displayed evil in the whole movie and even in the end she gets it her way. i find this non-punishing ending that much disturbing that even half an hour later i was still thinking 'how can she get away with that, that isn't how it should be'. to me the end is so frustrating that it devaluates the experience of the movie in total. so it end up with a 6 out of 10 rating.
