Fortress (2012)
screenplay very bad but do not blame the actors
I don't get it. The screenplay is everything.If it's badly written, there is no story, end of line. You can have the best actors in the world and a good director, they are powerless if there is no story to tell.It's a tragedy because no special effects can prevent such a movie from being boring. I grew up in Europe with movies having little money invested in special effects but always a good script. If the story and the dialogs are good ,even modest actors will live up to their task. here the actors toil around and do not seem to know what to do. that's a shame because the Italian campaign and North Africa are not well known but were very costly in manpower. One could have done a lot more with this. Maybe someone will pick up the subject and do something good out of it.
Snow Beast (2011)
sometimes even a bad movie can be very bad, nothing to save it !
Sometimes bad movies are fun to watch as there is unwanted comedy in them. Not in this one though. Why i do not know but it fails to be anything but BAD. not funny not scary not even ridiculous, just bad. The actors seem lost, the scenery seems to come from acquired footage from the Tourist Information bureau of a ski resort. So bad actually they decided that it should be in Canada, probably to escape the shame of being in the US. No storyline, no logic, nothing. A monster runs around, but nobody informs the authorities. The actors are so bad that you get the feeling they hired them straight from the slopes of a Ski Resort! "hey guys, anyone interested in playing in a horror movie?" the two Canadian Park Rangers are so dumb they only qualify as monster food. The women fall down and twist an ankle, the truck does not start, the key does not fit the ignition.I could go on and on. I only wonder who pays for such a crap. these films remind me of the cars that the industry produces for the rental companies, nobody really wants them but they are there. go on and rent them, you morons!
