Alexander (2004)
Awful-completely awful
I WAS looking forward to this. It was horrible. Colin Farrell unfortunately looked like a hysterical animal in what amounted to way too many extreme closeups. Suffice it to say we really got to examine the whites of his eyes. And, it is never a good sign when you are checking your watch regularly to see if it is almost over. The best part of the movie was Farrell's gorgeous horse-and laughing at the overacting that permeated this mess.
The hair was so bad-if Alexander was supposed to be golden boy, why on earth did they cast such a black haired guy??? I guess they think that we will believe bottle yellow hair goes with a solid black five o clock shadow. This time I totally agree with the reviewers-I just wish I had listened to it before we wasted our time on it!!
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)
Good Grief!
OK, this was HORRIBLE. I was cringing for the actors and the inane lines they had to utter- "If there's a way in, there's a way out." What a gem. We should have been writing all these zingers down!! The only upside to this movie was it was supposed to be scary, but we (and this includes everyone that was in the theatre) LAUGHED through it all! Even had tears at some points. It is only worth seeing on video, at home, perhaps while drinking, and to get a good laugh. Geesh!!!! However, the actors sure were great looking and stayed amazingly clean throughout their jungle trek, and the CG animation was very good. There, I found something good to say. :) It wasn't easy, but there it is. Anyway, my daughter thinks I should no longer get to pick the movie we go to see.:)
