Catch of the Day (2013)
Brilliant Young Filmmakers!
Catch of the Day has all of the conventions that you would expect any classic horror film to have. Violence, gore, shady characters, and just the right amount of intrigue. Imagine The Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Saw II and you will have a good idea of what this movie is about. The filmmakers have a ton of talent and are just waiting to be discovered by Hollywood! This absolutely engaging film that they were able to produce on the most minuscule beget imaginable is simply outstanding. What makes this film a cut above the rest is that it has a teal emotional center that most horror films seems to insist on not having these days. Great film!
Cabin Fever (2002)
Worst Movie Ever Made
One of the worst films ever made. I never stopped laughing through this entire film. It was so cliché that it was laughable. The dialogue consisted of simply curse words and the characters were immature dirt bags that I wanted to see get sick. They constantly over reacted and were prone to violence that made no sense. They fit every cliché in the book all they did was curse drink and have sex. It was terrible and I am a big fan of horror movies. This movie was a terrible b film that the studios decided to pick up and market and sucker us into seeing it. The studio knew it was terrible but was able to sucker some of us into the theaters and made some nice money on it. Do not give them the satisfaction save your money and go rent a nightmare on elm street flick. This movie is simply deplorable. Also every horror movie now portrays people from the south as crazy old hicks who carry shotguns and hate outsiders. I would think this stereotyping is really getting to the people of the south. Once again that is a cliché and what this movie is based on. What a miserable film. You will lose brain cells watching this movie.
Anger Management (2003)
Adam Sandler has fallen from grace.
The man is no longer capable of making a good movie. In all of his movies now he plays the same character, a nice guy who can become violent and beat people up. Forgive me for thinking that Adam Sandler is not a tough guy. The thought of him being this amazing fighter is laughable, unlike this movie. He now because of his popularity stars in these poorly done over the top romantic comedies with lackluster plots and sub par acting. This movie has Jack Nicholson one of the finest actors ever and makes him seem like a lost soul. All in all Anger Management was not funny, I suppose if you are a fan of Big Daddy or Mr. Deeds, although I don't know who is then you would like this dreadful movie. Other then that saves yourself the time and brain cells.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
why this movie is good
I believe that this movie is greatly misunderstood by so many people. It is unique in that this was a joint collaboration between Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg. Since Kubrick died it was Spielberg's job to finish the film. It is because of this that the film blends elements of both directors. It is not entirely a Spielberg film and nor is it entirely a Kubrick film. I think Spielberg did a wonderful job to integrate both there styles into this move and I think it succeeds. I think most people expect to see a movie that is entirely Kubrick's, like 2001 a space odyssey or a clockwork orange. Then other people expected to see a typical Spielberg film. To expect that is entirely unfair and these people turn themselves off before the y can get into this film. This film is I admit very deep and not for everybody. It requires a lot of thought. This is a movie in my opinion that raises certain questions in us such as the true nature of love, what makes us human, and what is death. These issues are very troubling to deal with. In Spielberg's film here the answers are not clear. They are ambiguous which is why many of us fear death, because we simply cannot be a 100 percent sure as to what will happen. This movie makes us think about it and this is hard for people to deal with. Once such an issue that causes a person so much grief enters the person will automatically shut off and say this movie is terrible, but it is really because they are afraid to go along for the emotional ride and maybe begin to think about these issues and start to explore them. Some people can simply not do this. These people usually prefer Steven Segal beating people up with pool sticks. I believe that this movie is for someone who is willing to go on an emotional ride and be ready to confront certain emotional issues in themselves. The hardest person to confront is ourselves. We may not like what we find. I have never seen a film that provoked such deep emotions in me. That is why I love this film. My advice is to go along with the emotional ride although it may be troubling.
