Swimfan (2002)
i only saw it because jesse bradford is hot
wow. just when i thought teenybopper flicks couldn't get any worse, they come out with swimfan. don't get me wrong, i happen to like most films written for my age group, but this movie--well, this movie was bad. i'm normally not picky---not about food, not about clothes, and certainly not about movies, but geez.
set in some small town that no one cares about, swimfan is about a guy who cheats on his girlfriend and then must pay for it when his fellow fornicator turns out to be a crazy jealous wench. i'm sure you've all seen the commercials.
this movie was horrible. i guess i see about one bad movie a year. last year's was planet of the apes(the new one). now this. i admit, i almost walked out in the first 5 minutes, because the sound was off. once they fixed it, i tried to get into the movie, but i just couldn't. there were holes everywhere, in the plot and definitely in the dialogue. i, a 15yearold, could've written that better.
what i'm basically trying to say is, don't see this movie, folks. THIS IS A SPOILER, SO DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ A SPOILER! SPOILERS ARE FOR FOLKS LIKE ME WHO READ THE END OF THE BOOK AFTER THE BEGINNING. DO NOT SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU.
like i said, the whole movie was awful, but the ending took the cake. they're taking poor madison bell(the crazy blond) away to rot in jail. she's too smart, tho. she grabs a gun from the holster of the cop who is sitting in the backseat with---wait wait. hold the phone. that's horribly inaccurate! there are screens in cop cars, and cops never, EVER sit in the backseat with a KILLER. i'm sorry, but that was certainly the highpoint of this movie's idiocy.
Captain America (1990)
so bad it's good
to say it lightly, i loved this movie. it's one of those cheesy types that is so poorly done that you can't help but smile. if you're the type who likes dumb movies like bring it on, the mummy, and chicken run, this could be the one for you!
Of Mice and Men (1992)
blasphemy!
sex sells, my friends, but sometimes it's more important to get something right than to get someone hot.
we read the book in english class, and to top off the unit, we watched the movie. quite frankly, i severely disliked it. they added scenes(such as george and curly's wife in the barn) and also subtracted scenes(such as the whole mouse thing with lennie). if you're looking for a mediocre movie, here it is, but if you're looking for something true to the text, steer clear.
