Cabin Fever (2002)
If you like your horror films over-rated and pointless...
then this is the film for you! Get on the hype train and ride this ingratiating film to its boring conclusion.
I swear the director went out of his way to watch all the greatest horror films made in the last 40 years and then proceeded to remember none of it.
The only thing scary about this film is that people have liked it, people call it a horror film, and that the director will go on to make another film.
Not since "Pieces" has their been a more pointless martial arts scene.
You've been warned - Cabin Fever has characters out of a bad David Lynch film who would never be friends, no action, no idea of location, zero scares, and a talented DP.
Cabin Fever is easily the worst straight to video film that somehow got projected since "Jason Takes Manhattan."
Consider yourself warned...
101 Ways (The Things a Girl Will Do to Keep Her Volvo) (2000)
All the romance and comedy, but without the Hanks & Ryan
"101 Ways..." is the perfect movie for those who can handle the shock that there's more to romantic comedies than Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Love's long and winding road has more speed bumps than E-Z Passes.
What makes "101 Ways..." special is that it's a story of a small town girl with big city dreams-or is it a big city girl with small town dreams-trust me-the lead's a girl (Watson) and there is a dream sequence (the hottest supermarket checkout you'll likely see). Where was I? What makes this movie special are all the unique characters Watson comes across as she tries to find Zen in love, job, and car ownership.
From the over protective mother to a fatherly police officer. From a gigolo pilot and a lovelorn cop. From a crappy job to even crappier jobs. Watson encounters a cast of characters-some so special they could even warrant their own film-and quirky situations that she struggles through in funny and surprising ways.
One last note. Kudos to the filmmaker for a making an independent film that doesn't take place in NYC or LA and doesn't involve guns. This film is a refreshing change of pace.
