The Bling Ring (2013)
Based on an article. Should have stayed one.
It was based on an article and it feels like an article stretched out into a film.
I'm a fan of Sofia's work but this is crap. Incredibly two dimensional and the point of the film is established almost immediately and then drawn out from there. I understand what the film was trying to do but it did it in an exceptionally boring way.
Saw this in theaters and would have walked out if the ticket didn't cost so much.
Enough films about this Beverly Hills rich kid wanna-be celebrity lifestyle. It's incredibly boring.
Of the films I've seen this year, this is the worst. Spring breakers is a very close second.
Ruby Sparks (2012)
It could have been better.
It was a good concept for a film. But I could tell straight away that the leading lady had either/written or directed the film. Which is a shame. You shouldn't be able to tell something like that from watching it.
Also the wardrobe for Calvin was awful. The glasses, The shirts.
And for god sake the typewriter? Who would use a typewriter like that anymore? Post-its on the wall?
It was a real student (pretentious) film in parts.
A great concept, executed badly. With some VERY ropey and unnatural dialog at parts.
