Parks and Recreation (2009)
Vote 0... GOD awful!!!
I want my time back!!! Worst show ever!!! This shaky camera, zoom in, zoom out crap has got to stop. This is from a 1990 Levis ad. Is the DP fresh out of Junior High? What ever happen to "Must See TV" on NBC? Thursdays from 8:oopm-10:oopm. That was TV. You had to tune in on a Thursday night. Unless of course, you had a date. Or, that was your date? You had to work hard for that time slot. Now it's just given away. Just because you know the creators of "30 Rock" and you were on SNL? And, now they use an SNL News stunt at 8:oopm before "Parks and Recreation."
LOL... The Indian guy's name is, Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari)Why not John Smith or, John Miller or, Jimmy Jimmy Joe Jack?
Yes, the Office sucks too. Comedians are more intelligent when they are not pushing their far left communist Obama views on us. Save it for the far left local news. Grow up people.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
Why Kevin Smith?
If anyone has to refuse people to be allowed in to see one of his junior high movies then, something is wrong. This guy actually sends people out into the audience and picks who can stay and demands others to leave before the movie roles. Why? Could Kevin Smith be anymore of a cry baby? Well?
I will use his movies in teaching film school students as what NOT to do. Watch the editing. Really, really watch it. It goes like this. Actor 1 says a line. Actor 2 says a line. Actor 1 says a line Actor 2 says a line and so on. You see poor, poor Kevin Smith never learned how to edit. Even, in that famous story about how he had an argument with Ben Affleck, "Chasing Amy" about the line, " What do you use for foreplay? A baseball bat?" Kevin demanded that Ben not say that again. In editing you can see the edit jump and the sound stop at Ben Affleck saying the line, "wha* Why? Because Kevin will take his ball and go home.
Match.Dead (2009)
I added to Abtronic's take on this...
Why does everyone think they have to make movies? Seriously, why does every hack from here to Tennessee believe making a movie is a great idea. So, this filmmaker, if you want to call him that decided that he needed a single location in the high desert to pull off one of the most boring, worst paced, pathetic attempts at film-making in the history of movies.
First of all, there is nothing knew as far as story. Secondly, scenes transitions are horrible. Thirdly, the nature of the story is predictably boring. First rule of screen writing; VOICE OVER is used when you can't tell your story visually because you lack the proper skills. FLASHBACKS are the sign of someone with no idea when it comes to storytelling. DREAM SEQUENCES are used in the first person, with that character being seen? It should always, always be POV. Also, SHAKY CAMERA junior high sh*t is from "the Office." Which, was first used in a 1990 Levis ad. Are you that stupid to follow the Office? What has happen to America? Single location films pop up everywhere when someone wants to tell a crappy movie because of budget concerns, but when you add poor acting, crappy writing, bad editing, bad directing, and bad everything else, all you have is mediocrity.
Watch the scenes with NO difference in depth of field. It will hurt your eyes. HDDV blows. This is not art. This is NOT film. Watch this movie, then tell me I'm wrong.
