The Trial (2010)
90 minutes of Matthew Modine looking sad
I like courtroom dramas, complete with clever attorneys, plot twists, and surprises. This had all but three of those.
This is a drama about a man trying to deal with his grief ... and it's every bit as boring as that sounds.
Matthew Modine mailed it in, and the rest of the cast were mostly wannabes who will never be based on their appearance in this movie. Robert Forster was the only decent actor in this, and his part was cliché and predictable.
The trial was horribly amateur. Anyone who has watched Law and Order for the past 20 years could point out many courtroom errors and ask valid questions that were never brought out.
Bad Apple (2004)
Rotten Apple
This started out slow, then got worse. The best parts of this were all seen in the previews.
Bad Apple has the feel of a pilot - if that's the case TNT should save their money.
Wo hu cang long (2000)
Kung-fu Movie
As this film won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, I thought it would be good. Sadly, I was mistaken.
This is nothing more than a kung-fu movie, albeit shot in beautiful surroundings. Razor-thin plot and choreographed dance scenes, er, fights. Regarding the fights, don't watch this movie if you're a fan of martial arts. There's more contact in a 2 minute bar fight than there is in this 2 hour movie!
I may be in the minority, but to me the flying stunts were silly and annoying.
If you like kung-fu movies, then you might like this one. Otherwise, don't bother.
