The Fighting Temptations (2003)
Fight The Temptation to watch this shallow and insulting drivel
What could been a feel good musical comedy was instead turned into a pathetic vehicle for shameless musicians attempting to kick start acting careers( Montell Jordan, Lil Zane & Beyonce) This is the movie that started Cuba Gooding Jr'S slow yet tragic descent down the dungeons of Z Movie Roles. Who's resolve to commit career suicide has been recently demonstrated by his involvement with Daddy Day Camp and Norbit. Ms Knowles should stick to singing, she could't act her way out of a tuna sandwich even if her life depended on it. I watched this dud when it first came out on DVD now five years later i still get nauseated every time someone mentions it or i accidentally see the cover at my local video store. I have read a lot of reviews suggesting that the music made this movie worth watching, (remember purple rain) no amount of good music can redeem a pile of crap. folks do yourselves a favour avoid this one at all costs
Death Proof (2007)
what the f*** Quentin
First of all i would like to say I am a die-hard Tarantino fan. So when i first noticed the bad reviews posted for his latest flick i just brushed it off and said to myself, these guys don't appreciate QT's movies after all i liked the much reviled Jackie Brown and Kill Bill vol 2. this is the last time i will ever trust QT this movie is a bore fest serious if had done the sound on this film i would be sitting on death row right now. whether it was intentional or not i don't know but this has to be the worst dialogue ever recorded on film since COOL AS ICE. For fear of repeating what has already been stated by other commentators I would urge anyone with half a brain to avoid this one like the plague.
message to QT 1) making chick flick might be a good way for getting you and your buddies(ELI ROTH and CO) laid but please don't do it at the expense of your adoring fans. 2) stop giving yourself pointless cameos 3) you cant write for women period
Alias (2001)
Unrealistic, Insulting & Inexcusable
Having watched all five seasons, the only reason i did that was because i watched season 4 & 5 first so i had to watch the first three for closure. All i can say is that i was really impressed with season 4 & 5 i think they were really well made however the preceding seasons were ill conceived and patronising to anyone with real sense. This was starting to look more and more like a Steven Seagal flick (only worse this is a series) all the baddies are so generic they are either waiting to have their asses kicked or get hypnotized into giving up intel by Jennifer garner garner's hot body i can't say i am really surprised since the creator is none other than J.J Abrams THE SAME MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST which like alias had a lot of potential but like its predecessor is bricking itself in by trying to overstretch a concept. Any way back to Alias the thing i find most frustrating are 1) Arvin Sloane's implied sense of evil, honestly for a man who is supposed to be so evil i expected gut wrenching evidence of his villainy without this evidence i find it hard to detest this man, in fact i find myself drawn to him and in most cases rooting for him to do something to cement his credibility all ending in disappointment.
2) Sydney bristow - if agent Bristow is really the bleeding hard she is portrayed as why doesn't she have the heart to give Sloane a second chance in spite of his transgressions(the mind boggles). The condescending forwardness with which Sydney conducts herself is a miscalculated attempt to portray her an independent strong woman which backfires because we are all aware that such conduct wouldn't fly with any credible organisation let alone a government agency like the CIA , please,
3)Agent Vaughn's wooden acting, no doubt Vaughn is a cute guy but his face seems incapable of rendering an emotionally rooted performance
In conclusion i feel obliged to recommend to anyone who's planning on catching this show on DVD or tivo DON'T or you CAN'T but if you insist let someone who's watched season season 1 - 3 tell you what happens then watch season 4 & 5
Hip-Hop Task Force (2005)
the worst film i have seen this year
its pretty sad that this movie; wait, did i say movie i meant thing could only be ranked from 1, in a perfect world the ranking scale would exclusively have started at -10 and the people responsible for this offering would be delivering pizzas. this is vile ,incoherent drivel. this is absolute hogwash bad directing, ill conceived cinematography, clumsy editing all these are elements that make for a dismal cinematic experience and all of which are abundantly present in this movie. I am a generally positive person but i just couldn't find a single redeeming quality. This piece takes itself too seriously relying on performances, which we can't blame the director failing to extricate but, these actors just aren't capable of anything beyond mumbling their lines.
