The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
Unbearable, Unwatchable, Unbelievable Tina let them do it
Completely unwatchable remake of an amazing film. Please please please, save yourselves and rent the original. I could ask, what was Meryl thinking? But the answer is, it was a different role for her and I can't blame her for doing it, (although her portrayal doesn't come close to Angela Lansbury). But WHAT was Tina Sinatra thinking??? Seriously? Is she so strapped for cash that she let Paramount ruin a great legacy left by her father? I can't believe the critics haven't trashed this unbearable piece of schlock. Somewhere out there, Ebert and Roeper are being handed a brown paper bag full of hundreds. Everything about this "film" is inferior to the original.
The Room (2003)
In a word: CRAPTASTIC
Possibly the most entertaining CRAP film of all time, beating out "From Justin to Kelly," and every movie starring Steven Segal. Note: you must be in the presence of a large heckling audience and/or under the influence to enjoy this movie. Although Tommy "What the hell am I saying?" Wiseau may be lauding his film as reminiscent of Tennessee Williams, the closest it comes to anything I've seen by Williams is that I had to get up to pee three times during it. Crap writing, Crap acting, Crap directing...but the movie as a whole? So deliciously crap that it can only be considered CRAPTASTIC!
Nobody seems to know where Tommy is from, although the consensus seems to be somewhere in Eastern Europe. So I have decided to consider his point of origin, Ridiculouslovania.
Have we been sending out the wrong signals? Is this really what Ridiculouslovanians think about us? I never stand three feet from my friends and toss a football. Never. Unless I am making fun of "THE ROOM."
