Going Overboard (1989)
Painful To Watch...
I truly was wondering why this film was going for just £1 in my local Blockbuster. Now I know why. Man, this film was just so painful to watch. The only thing that made me want to watch it right to the end was the fact that Adam Sandler was in it, and he was simply awful in it. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Adam Sandler but it's hard to believe he became such a success today when his early career was like this. It really is not his fault though, it's just simply down to bad writing. Stupid, horrible, delusional writing. This movie could probably be seen as 'The Young Ones on a Cruise' but even the Young Ones were funnier than this. This really is not a comedy. A Comedy makes you laugh or maybe even smirk. This film is more of a.... torture device. The Characters were bland, the story didn't make sense, the directing was absolutely shocking and the person who wrote this should be assassinated. Just stay away from this damn movie.
Shadow Skill (1995)
Hollow and pretty boring
Shadow skill is a poor excuse for a film, let alone an anime. From the start it throws you into the thick of plot which is complex (but hey, a lot of good animes do have complex plots) ,slightly shoddy and has been used way to many times before. Where as some films throw you in the thick of a plot and let the viewer figure out the plot for themselves to the viewer's satisfactory, Shadow Skill is just a barrage of confusion from start to the very end (if you can last that long). Shadow Skill does have one strong point though; some of the fight scenes are are very good. After all, Shadow Skill is an action/adventure anime but the fights do not save it. The plot is just so darn bad!!! If you want a good action anime, try fist of the north star and don't let Shadow Skill ruin any good anime experiences for the future.
