Out of Season (2004)
Incredible!
*****MAY OR MAY NOT CONTAIN SPOILERS***** I bought this movie for a dollar at a pawn shoppe along with twenty other movies, so I didn't get a chance to view this for a while. My roommate watched it and said it was garbage, filled with senseless violence and bad acting and directing. I finally sat down and watched it, and I was left speechless. The directing was incredible, it reminded me of Roger Avary's 'Killing Zoe'. It was just a great neo-noir flick. Depressing, dark, and utterly incredible. Acting is well done, especially David Murray as Simeon. The lighting effects were spectacular and Avary's fast-paced angle-switching was breath-taking. And the symbolism...oh, the symbolism...just one thing to say about that...that clown is amazing! Anyway, if you're looking for a good neo-noir drama with well done acting, great symbolism, and directing that will leave you speechless, then go pick this up.
It was certainly worth a dollar.
Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Bad acting, Didn't follow the comics, utter trash!
I have to say, I went into this movie with very high expectations. Sandman and Venom are easily the best Spiderman villains, but this movie was more disappointing than the first two.
The acting was horrendous, screams were quite fake, and dialogue was laughable. It wouldn't have been as bad if two-thirds of the movie wasn't dialogue, but, sadly it was.
Topher Grace playing Venom was not a good casting choice, since Edward Brock was supposed to be a muscular jock, according to the comics.
The ending was very disappointing, as Sandman just, well, gave up. In the comics, Sandman never gave up. He was captured, escaped, wreaked more havok, repeat.
All in all, the only thing that was decent enough about the film was the special effects, although some of the scenes were still laughable, especially when Spiderman runs in front of an American flag, almost posing. Disgusting! It didn't help that in the first two films, the science of the villains was explained. In Spiderman 3, not so much.
Certainly the worst film I have seen this year.
