The Others (2001)
Question life? Or this films existance.
okay so I'll be honest, i went into this hungry and i didn't really want to see that so I am already cranky and annoyed. The others starts out really plain. Horrific imagines shown as drawings to not tell you a damn thing about the plot and a setting of darkness. We open with a fog filled screen with a huge house and a tag Jersey, 1946, or something to that extent. Hmm so the scene is set and we start into the great journey that is this film. We meet the main charectors an overprotective woman that is forced to close and lock everydoor as she walks around and is rude to the hired help that has just arrived. The acting is okay if you totally try and ignore Nicole Kidman for certain scenes, such as the one were her and the children are sitting around a candle lit table with their books. "Bad little children go to limbo, and bad people go to hell"(or something similiar) begged the question Where do bad actresses go? Answer Jersey: 1946. I knew that opening would come in handy. I would not call this film scary. Dramatic, slightly suspenseful seeing as they don't tell you what the hell is going on and there are plenty of inexplicable events such as The husband just reappearing. Even the end doesn't explain how that happened. Your left with the only obvious answer to why it happened. To be 100% honest i was bored, but i wanted to know what was going on and had plenty of theories. As a whoile it is good. The ending packs enough punch to make somethigns come together and fulfill the whole movies premise. However gettting their is not half the fun. Sitting through countless scenes of Nicole Kidman's charector being rude to everyone in sight, whether it be the three hired help people that appeared out of nowhere or her own children gets really old. The movie runs at about 90 minutes I belive. It could have been a 45 minute television show and made as much sense. IT might have satisfied me more also. However, we all know that audiences don't pay to watch good quality 45 minute movie, they pay 8 dollars to see a good 45 minute movie with an additional 45 minutes of pointless filler. We found our selves waiting for the notoriuos "i am your daughter" scene, and getting so exited once she was in the dress that we knew that took place in. Watch it, it's not a complete waste of time but it is a little boring. I rated it a 5, apparently most people liked it more than that.
Tha Eastsidaz (2000)
eastsidaz is lame stereotypical and offensive
The Eastsidaz was probably the weakest movie I've ever seen. The story, which could be ok if not speckled with lame drug refrences and the atroutious naming of snap crackle and pop (ha, not funny), is weak contrived and filled with holes. The acting and production quality of this film is far below that of modern pornography. The over use of cussing in the script writing and the contrived dialect, which seems almost to stereo typical to be real, is sickening if not offensive. I think any young "punk" with a VHS or HI-8 camera and minimal editing skills that failed english in high school could write, direct and find better actors for a film. I'd personnaly suggest staying as far away from this flaming pile as possible. In short if you'd like to see bad camera work, bad acting and bad writing, without risking lending your kids the camcorder, rent or buy this film. Ernest goes to prison, with it's lame, yet similair wrong person in prison premise, is more worth your time, and won't insult your intelligence as much.
