The Freebie (2010)
complete waste of time.
I seriously don't want to spend any other minute related to that movie. I'm only reviewing it to save someone else's useful time.
This is one of the worst movies I've seen in quite a bit. Not for the film itself, but the script. It's absolutely conservatory and backward-thinking!! I was just BORED throughout all the few 77 minutes (which could easily have been 7). It doesn't go anywhere, it's just stuck in one point! A script needs to evolve in order to get the spectator's attention!
The direction was really poor, I don't think there even was an art director or a photography director on the team. There are some completely useless cuts and scenes, the background is ridiculous, the cameras are flippin' crazy... and I don't really like Dax Shepard, but that's just me.
But the worst is really the story of it all, that script. c'mon, it's 2011, we've already passed even the "it's the 21st century" thing, 'cause it got old. there is absolutely no use for that kind of movie in these days.
If you're anyhow open-minded about sex, love and relationships, you're gonna hate this movie.
Trunk (2009)
If you're expecting a major movie, just don't watch it.
This is an extremely low budget movie, with only two people and one location (the trunk). It can get boring if you're expecting lots of action and violence, cause it is focused on the dialogue between the kidnapper and the victim, which are not cliché and are, in fact, actually good.
Basically, that's it. The whole movie is within the car, where the only thing that happens is the kidnapper and victim talking, flirting and threatening each other.
It is not a major movie at all, so only watch it if you're ready for a not-so-clear image, not-so- clear sound and no special effects.
Junkyard Dog (2010)
It's not THAT bad.
I don't know if the movie has different versions, but the one I've seen deserves more credit than a 2.5.
OK, it's not a good movie, the acting is really mediocre, the subjective camera is awful and the whole photograph of the film is poor. But the plot is OK (kinda), it's all twisted up (as it's supposed to) and the only "too much" thing is the frozen parents at the table, since it is a "based on true events" and recurs us to some cases, even to recent ones such as Josef Fritzl's, on keeping his daughter locked in the basement and having sex with her. On this plot, the serial killer kidnaps the victims, keep and rape them in a basement-like room at the bottom of a tall building with no doors or windows for a month, then kill, cook and eat them, also feeding the next victims with the meat.
There is this really innocent lady who gets kidnapped on Halloween night by a really suspect tow driver. Then an FBI agent is sent to look for her (let me add here, the FBI agent's boss is completely retarded. he asks her if she can pull the trigger right after she killed two criminals and then send her to "another sh't assignment that could get ugly") and ends up in the same place as the girl. One more note here: the serial killer's dog is the size of a regular dog, but he can attack and disarm an FBI agent and is referred by the Sheriff as "that is a damn horse".
In the end, the town's Sheriff is the one to understand what's happening in the junkyard and goes back there just in time to shoot the dog before he attacks (again) the agent and the girl, who were able to escape the killer by shooting the gas tank of a car and exploding it and a lot others, also burning up the killer. There's still an extra scene after the credits, where a lady's car breaks down, and the serial killer tow driver (who got burned and fell down just moments ago) appears to help her. To end even worse, the ending dialogue is "my fiancé is waiting on me to eat, do you know how long this is gonna take?" "just about a month".
So the film is really arguable on every single aspect, but it's a B movie with (I guess) no intention of being a Major. It's a not-so-much low budget, so the bad acting and photography is understandable. the script is OK. it's not a good movie at all, but I've seen a lot worse.
Basement (2010)
Awful!!!
I've got now 493 on my list of seen movies over the past few years since I started it (around the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008) and I've seen some really bad movies. But none bad enough to get a score of 1 on the site! This one's gotta be THE worst movie I've seen in my entire life!
I went on to check it because of Danny Dyer and Jimi Mistry, which are both good underrated actors (specially for making some B movies really good and entertaining). On this particular movie, I haven't seen any kind of acting from any of the actors. Seriously, I would do better, and I've only had 1 year of acting classes.
please, don't do the same as me. DO NOT watch this movie, unless you've got absolutely nothing better to do. and believe me, even burning your house down out of boredom would be something better to do.
