Le fate ignoranti (2001)
Boredom, mawkishness & Co.
This is a sentimental movie. Cheesy sentimental movie. Bad, boring, predictable sentimental movie. This sentimentalism is updated with gay and cross-dressing problems and so on, but it's the same, old, abused, telenovela-like sentimentalism nevertheless. The story moves slow, sometimes hangs, with the same big eyes of Margherita Buy always staring wide open, while you can tell what's going to happen in the next scene. My suggestion: trash this overrated mawkishness.
Meet the Parents (2000)
Meet the boredom
Apart from Ben Stiller, this film is really stupid and boring. The gags are all predictable. The plot has no consistence, and we always know what will happen in a few moments. As a comedy, it is the celebration of the "already seen" and banal: even in a TV sitcom dialogues and gags are better. A real waste of time.
Non ho sonno (2001)
Can't sleep? Watch this turkey - 1 out of 10
I want a big refund for the waste of time I spent for this movie. Argento, an overblown director that only in the seventies made a couple of not-so-bad movies, with the guilty partnership of Carlo Lucarelli for the script, builds up a silly "giallo" stealing around themes and plot. It is real plagiarism to steal the main clue and the main idea from an Ellery Queen novel (way back to 1932), a wonderful idea in the original masterpiece of mystery that becomes here just a pale and idiotic parody of the unmentioned master. It is a real pity to see innocent (and great) Max Von Sydow to be involved in this robbery badly acted, badly written (just listen to a few dialogues between the "young people"!), badly scored (a pompous bombastic late prog-rock by Goblin self-copying from "Deep Red"), badly directed. Definitively 1 out of 10.
Lo squartatore di New York (1982)
Just bad & stupid
What about this movie? Just bad: acting, filming, plot, and [you fill the blank]. Fulci has never been that great as director, and this time the dumbness, unrealistic and sadistic quality of the plot (with a few ridiculous soft/hardcore scenes jammed in) pairs only the poor way it's set up. I see there is someone out there that likes this kind of just stupid stuff, a fact that adds nothing in anyway to the objective extra-low quality of this yawner.
