A review of "Soup" — 3 years ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

One christmas, I was given this CD by a cousin of mine, sure, we’ve all heard “No Rain” not one of my favorite songs I must say, and being the only song I’d heard from them I was dissapointed with the gift, that is until I popped the disc into my player and was very suprised, it’s now one of my favorite CDs and I never seem to stop enjoying it, I highly reccommend it. The last thing you should do is think about that other song and the dancing bee girl, it was not a bad song, but still, it was too muuch! This time things changed, I never tought Blind Melon could have such versatility and creativity.

B-Movie? More like D-Movie (or worse) — 3 years ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

True, this movie comes with horror b-movie stamp well placed in its forehead. But some of us will usually get a kick of bad movies for being bad, but that doesn’t mean that people should start making awful movies without even trying, and that’s what this movie feels like, effortless. Its about this guy, who’s very “into videos”, but after a witch, a curse video and an old machine he gets transformed into Psyclops (I don’t even recall him being referred as psyclops but it’s not really important), a guy with a camera inserted into his skull (of course we’ve seen this before in movies like Hellraiser, La Cité des enfants perdus, Brazil, and Star Trek, but we’re not actually looking for originality here, are we?), I gotta admit, the make up effects were quite good, the camera didn’t seem too displaced and his whole head (camera included) seemed proportionate enough for the character, unfortunately that’s the only good thing coming from this movie. The guy also make electricity come out of his hands and he starts harassing his friends and at the climax he tries to use one of his woman friends in a experiment for something (I wasn’t paying that much attention) The movie tries to make us sympathize with the main character/villain (like Dr. Jekyll & Mr Hyde, we don’t want to see him harmed, but he is harassing his friends and trying to rule the world or something) of course it doesn’t succeed, the character tries too hard to be funny or weird/creepy.

The worst thing of it all is the acting, i’ve seen better in a porn video, it gets irritating, I know you’re not supposed to pay attention to those kinds of details in these movies, but at least make an effort! I’m surprised there’s even a mention of a director since clearly there was no talk of how and when to say things. In the end, we see these type of films to get a laugh at the absurdity of it all (sort of present in this one) and the laughable & cheesy effects, sure the “special” effects are in effect, special, but nothing a 10 year old couldn’t conjure in your run of the mill video editing software.

There’s a scene at the end where Psyclops makes a beyond the grave (or beyond another parallel dimension/hell whatever) appearance and starts talking (in a oh so clever meta-film fashion) about how could they (his friends) not expect a sequel, in a way ripping of a film like Scream, I mean, who rips off a film like Scream? (well, aside from Scary Movie)

In the end the movie doesn’t belong in the “good because it’s bad” category, it’s just annoying.

A question I have about "Amelie" — 3 years ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

I’m curios as to why the people that deemed this film Not Worth Consuming didn’t like it.

How "Ernest Goes to Jail" changed my life — 3 years ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

Ahh good times.. this is, or more like it WAS worth consuming, being one of my childhood films that I could probably enjoy today for pure nostalgia value. It made me want to get magnetic powers, and I still hadnt discovered the X-Men. After “trying” to watch other Ernest films, I found out his films where really stupid. Except this one of course

A story about "Where the Heart Is" — 3 years ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

I know it’s superficial but how could I not like it, having Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd is enough for me. If they do a sequel with Scarlett Johansson I could die in peace. (“where the hearts are” ...no? maybe?)

A story about "The Perfect Score (Widescreen Edition)" — 3 years ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

I like the look Scarlett Johansen carries, unfortunately it’s in one of her worst movies.

A story about "My Architect: A Son's Journey" — 3 years ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

Im still not sure if I liked this documentary or not, at times I was falling asleep, sometimes I was impressed by the subject matter (the architectual designs) or intrigued by the architect & the director’s (the architects son) life. So.. it’s still “wishy washy” for me.

My Personal Opinion — 3 years ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

I thought it was too… um… bitter, for lack of a better word.

Open your eyes people!! — 3 years ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

Yes, abre los ojos is much better, the build up to that movie was so well executed that the suprise really came as a surprise, unlinke Vanilla Sky which was also lacking a scene that was more shocking that what happened on the remake (involving the therapist).

Oh and there’s no comparing the deformity of the original’s character than the mere scar of Tom “preety boy” Cruise.

These deviatons are what made me not like Vanilla Sky, not even the opening scene in a vacant Times Square.
