American High School (2009)
I would rather chew on a brillo pad than have to watch this movie again
Where do I start? I feel ashamed that I wasted the precious minutes of my life watching this movie past the 10th minute. First, most of the actors in this movie do not even deserve the title of "actor". It felt like the person who casted this movie just asked some of his best friends to be in the movie or picked people off the street. Seriously, this was some of the worst acting I have ever seen.
The next thing you'll notice is that the sound was totally amateur. It's as if they shot the movie with a video camera and didn't even think to use a microphone. But you can tell there was a sound mixer-- who probably works at a dry cleaning shop for his day job. There are some scenes where you're supposed to believe there is a crowd watching and you can just hear how cheesy the crowd sound effect is. Really, the sound on this film is embarrassing.
The plot. Who cares? This movie was made as if they just got together and made it up as they went along. I've heard Chinese torture is pretty bad, but it ain't got nothing on this movie.
Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Top 10 of all time
Amazing movie. Easily one of the best of all time. It's too bad that in order to write a comment on this site you must write at least 10 lines. I think when a piece of art is exceptional you just know it without having to explain why.
To say that the setting, the actors, the soundtrack and the story are exceptional should be enough. But this movie reaches down inside of the viewer and evokes him to want more for the characters and even from ones own self.
The theme in this movie transcends a simple gay relationship story and expands to greater universal themes of love and the confines of society. One can sympathize with the characters as they grapple with the reality of the world around them while struggling with the conflicting forces within themselves.
A Day Without a Mexican (2004)
Bore me to the max
The premise for this movie is actually very interesting. The title alone drew me to watch this movie. What the viewer is left with is cheap production, boring idiotic "jokes" and mundane repetition of news scenes with bad acting. Some of the actors seem like they were picked off the streets or from community college acting classes.
The movie doesn't draw the viewer in, instead it psychologically irritates and alienates the viewer by butting unrelated scenes together (which one would think might have some overall meaning in the end, however this is not the case). Viewers are more so alienated by the constant fake news cast scenes. The movies banks all it's value on the fact that viewers will be able to relate to ignorant racist white Californians. Many scenes of this nature are played out to exhaustingly boring exaggeration.
Don't waste your time on this movie as it has nothing to do with the reality of the Hispanic/white culture of California.
