The Ladykillers (2004)
All the Coen elements, and yet not quite right.
It's odd that This film has all the Coen elements, comedy and mystique, including soundtrack and stellar set design - all the usual values of a masterpiece... But this one feels vacuous here and there, perhaps because it's so close to being a period piece but isn't. And I cherish Coen period pieces.
Hank's work is great here, great, as is Wayan's, but something is just off.. I really don't see Tom Hanks as a good fit to the Coen bullpen, nor Simmons really.
Look, even a weaker Coen Bros. film is better than most other's strongest efforts. It's good for a re-make.
Final Girl (2015)
a complete waste of electricity...
Seriously ? This picture got made ? Even the paper used to print the script was a waste of good material.
It gets a one star rating only because it is useful to show to film students as a lesson on how-not-to write and develop a concept... and should be useful as a map to the waste basket.
Actors can take on any project for a workout. Why anyone would go all the way to actually shooting this thing is a mystery though.
I could go on but i think this rotten egg fried itself well enough.
If there weren't a ten line minimum i would not have wasted even this much energy to write the review... But maybe someone out there will be spared the trouble of watching this tripe when they surely have something better to do.
