Clockwatchers (1997)
Interesting, humorous, real-to-life film
I never felt the urge to watch the film upon its theatrical release. But, I thought I should give it a try when it was broadcasted by pay-tv FILMNET channel. Well, all I have to say is this: not once did I glance at the clock, as the 96' of the film seem to flow really fast. Interesting, humorous, real-to-life film, "Clockwatchers" offers a powerful and kind of pessimistic view of modern societies' anxieties, relationships and friendships that cannot last in an "Orwellish" job environment. Alana Ulbach is absolutely not a sex symbol but with a powerful face and eyes which look straight at you. The funny thing is that if you dare to listen carefully to the music the girls at the office are obliged to hear, you will surely hate instrumentals. You know... The kind of music Super-Markets play...

Ridiculous, made for the drive-in, nonsense, though representative of the '60s B-movies atmosphere. Definitely a must see in order to understand what a bad movie is all about (although the 71 minutes will seem like forever). If the nude photo sessions were really nude, only then could the interest of the film rise... Instead, we have a PG rated movie trying to be daring and shocking, by showing the legs of its untalented starlet. Surely, a cult movie for our time, but not because of its quality. The only reason for "Scum of the Earth" to remain in our memory is the lesson it offers to the film makers as to what they should NOT do.
