Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011)
Bad Movie Bad Acting Bad night at the movies
Don't be swayed by the >7 out of 10 rating. This movie stinks. Its artsy feel sucks you in and makes you think its going to get better and it just never happens. The flashbacks increase in frequency as the movie progress to a point where they get in the way of the actual flow of the movie. Try to resist watching this so that one more person or persons doesn't waste 101 minutes of their lives. All you can do if you have invested the time, just chalk it up as another learning experience. Just say no and move on to the next one on your list. Take a look at the Netflix reviews. It didn't make it above a 2 out of 10. Wish I had read some of those reviews first. I know its hard to make a good end to a movie, but they had no trouble with the ending of this one, there wasn't an end.
Contagion (2011)
Contagion is not Contagious
Way to much coughing for one movie, but all the academy award winners certainly can cough very convincingly. I was able to watch the entire movie which is why it gets just a 4 out of 10 rating. This is by far one of the most difficult types of story lines and lots of work is needed to keep the viewers interested. And for the material they had at hand, it was acceptable. The main love interest between Gweneth and Matt was not developed enough in the beginning of the movie. So the viewers could not get attached to the relationship. The other plot twists added were topical for today but will become aged quickly, like a crooked blogger that makes a fortune on the backs of dead people. Regardless, Gweneth even looks great wrapped in plastic.
Carjacked (2011)
Good example on how to make a bad movie
This is my first review on IMDb and this movie forced me to write it. Unfortunately I had to give it at least one star, zero stars is not an option. Within the first 5 minutes my wife and I looked at each other and said when will this be over. From the get go the movie was boring,the acting poor and the editing was completely atrocious. At almost every camera angle change both inside and outside the car they were on a different road. If you happened to notice they were always driving on a on-ramp or off-ramp never on a highway. I feel bad spending $2 of my Netflix money on this thing. Enjoy, may be a cult classic in 30 years. I am shocked that Maria Bello would be in a movie like this.
