Southland Tales (2006)
I expected more
I expected more from this movie after having seen Donnie Darko. While Donnie Darko is a great movie this doesn't even come close.
I would say that pretty much everything here is pretty bad. Lots and lots of characters that bring nothing to the movie. They could've cut half the characters out and it wouldn't matter. And none of the characters are strong enough to make me feel anything about them. The dialog is really weak. And why do they always have to have weird outfits in the future? Since this movie only takes place 2-3 years into the future, the outfits make the movie look ridiculous. And to those saying it should be viewed as a fun movie, if I ain't laughing or smiling it isn't fun. Donnie Darko had everything this movie have not. Interesting characters, dialog and a good plot. But a smaller budget, and I think if this movie had a smaller budget it would've been a little better. The only thing that saves this movie a bit is the ending which I liked a little.
D-War (2007)
Very, very bad
The only thing this movie has going for it is the CG. And even that is subpar considered against a Hollywood-movie with the same budget.
Just about everything else is horrible in this movie. Everything from the acting, the script, the dialogue to the whole plot and story is really, really bad. I don't think I've ever seen a movie with this kind of budget being this bad.
It doesn't take many seconds into the film until I think it will suck. It starts sucking right when the voice-over talks over the scenery of a map.
I don't understand why they had to use American actors, why couldn't they simply make it a South Korean movie instead, where everyone talks their native language. I think they had a lot of problems making a movie in a language they don't fully grasp. It probably wouldn't be that good in South Korean either, but I think it would be just a little bit better. Do yourself a favour and watch "The Host" instead, another South Korean monster-flick that is so much better.
American Psycho II: All American Girl (2002)
This sucks!
(3/10). The first thing that meets you in this film is a voice belonging to a darkhaired girl. And it is an annoying voice that is. There is plenty of voice overs in this film and this F***ING annoying voice is going at it. Bla, bla, bla. How the hell could they cast Mila Kunis for this movie. How the hell could they make this movie. I guess they just wanted to make more money and fool people who liked the first. Thank god it didn't cost me anything to see it. Let this be a warning: If there is a sequel made by people who had nothing to with the first it's probably going to suck. Which probably means that Terminator 3 is going to suck... too bad. All in all this is a stinker. And if you didn't figure that out just look at the tagline: ANGRIER. DEADLIER. SEXIER. Says it all.
Mimic 2 (2001)
This supersucks!
(2/10). Let me start by saying that I had low, I mean really low expectations on this movie and it was worse. With the expectations I had I didn't of course pay to see this crap. Now I wouldn't see it ever again unless I got payed at least 10$, maybe even more. A real stinker and why not 1/10, because I've actually seen worse, can you believe it!
