It's My Lot In Life to Watch Bad Movies
Am I too picky with my movies? I watched "The Ring" the othe day. A movie taht people have been reccomending to me for years. I won't be reccomending this movie to anyone. There are some movies that rely on the pacing and the acting to sell the plot. For me the acting was fine but the pacing was wrong.
It's starts off with two girls discussing a tape one of them saw during a little getaway she had the weekend before. She explains that you watch the tape, get a call that you will die in 7 days and 7 days later you, die. Well of course that night is the 7th night and were treated to the usual "what"s that sound?" and 'whose there?" until something we only get a glimpse of finally kills her.
Here's my favorite scene in the movie. They go to the girls funeral and the mothers standing there crying. Her line are something along the lines of " I searched the internet and I couldnt find anything on a girl whose heart that just stops beating". Apparently she doesn't have google. Also I like how this girl dies from some sort of heart failure and no one's concerned as to why the girl looked the way she did when she died. She looked like this
She died of a heartattack?
I also saw "The Village" the other day which I found to be predictable but interesting. It was predictable for me because when the movie first came out I heard there was a horrible twist at the end. When I thought horrible all I could think of was (SPOILER ALERT) what ever is beyond the woods is actually today's society and the movies actually doesn't take palce in the past but rather in the present. After I developed my theory I debated on reading the ending to the script. I finally decided to risk blowing a twist and read the script. My theory was right. Give me a medal. As a result I unfairly didn't give the movie the time or day. I finally did the other day. I didn't think it was horrible. I did find it silly that they sent a blind girl into the woods to get medicine, and I did find it weird that the town was small enough to eat at the same table but for the wedding scene the town suddenly grew, but it wasn't that bad.
Then I saw a movie called "The Mango Kiss". Not a bad movie again it just had some problems. The performances were a little over the top almost as if they were performing on stage for people in the back of the auditorium. It also seemed as if the director didn't know what he wanted out of the film. It was dramatic, silly, funny and low budget. Low budget isn't bad, It's just that the movie had these little cut scenes that were cute but I felt the movie could have done without because it really defenied the budget.
Then in a review I wrote earlier I've also seen all three Final Destinations and I will just say I wont wish that hellish experience upon my worst enemies.
