The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)
'What are you talking about arm'
Oh wow this was bad. The quote above about the offending appendage should tell you that this is a joke of a film and not a funny one at that.
I'm a pretty big fan of the original Cloverfield film and consider it something of a classic in the found footage and giant monster films out there and 10 Cloverfield Lane was also decent, leaving the series in a nice what happens next state. This, however never should've seen the light as a Cloverfield movie or any other movie.
A bunch of astronauts are trying to save the world but end up losing it, is the premise, as described. But they inadvertently travel to a different dimension, where there is an alternate earth. 'Whatever earth that is lets just go there' or something to that effect says one of the crew members. A woman from the other dimension gets stuck in a wall somehow. Irish astronaut guy loses an arm. Arm wants to speak and is sentient apparently. Russian astronaut eats some worms for some reason that are on the ship for some reason. Chinese lady astronaut speaks Mandarin to the other crew who can understand her and in turn speak English to her. I could go on with more non-sensical and bad ideas but why? Do they get home? You won't care. Nor is it interesting. I think this was written by someone deliberately trying to make a bad movie. Self-paryoding bad movie experiment?? I have no idea what they were thinking. Netflix is well known for green lighting virtually everything but they should've drawn the line here.
One of the absolute worst movies of all time and surely a dead cert for the razzie next year if they cant include it for this.
Shoot the DJ (2010)
Just awful
Please see mrbblee's review. That pretty much says all that I was going to say about Shoot the DJ - a film with less production values than your own homemade VHS videos from the 1990s. And the acting was worse! And the dubbing was even worse than that! Unbelievably bad.
The story centres around two ageing DJs who need to make some money to pay their rent, so one of them conjures up a plan. It might have worked if they'd put a bit of detail and proper care into it. The film had FOUR DIRECTORS!... That right there tells you someone should have stopped and said 'hang on guys, what we're doing here is pish. We need a proper plan here'.
OK bashing over. Good things? Good things?... Ah yes, the music. Very good music. In fact the music might have bumped it up to 2 stars. But no, nothing can salvage this embarrassment of a movie.
Really, I'm amazed at some of the reviews here, however the 1.2 rating is about right. Well done producers, you'll be at number 1 of the bottom 100 any day now!
