The Cut (2005)
Pathetic Apprentice Clone
I thought this show was going to be a more hi-tech copy of Project Runway. Instead, it's a low-tech copy of The Apprentice. Right down to the time-lapse photography and the font used in the credits, this is a complete Apprentice rip-off. I can't believe it's not on the Fox network, where the usual sucky clones always seem to show up. Hardly any of the contestants are actual designers, so the tasks are more business and marketing than design. The show is just boring and unoriginal. Tommy Hilfiger seems like he's trying to fake a Donald Trump persona, but it just doesn't work. The whole show doesn't work, right down to the insanely cheesy line that the deluded producers probably hope is going to become the next "you're fired": "You're out of style." Two thumbs down and then some.
A Cinderella Story (2004)
Could it BE more cliché?
This was the most predictable, formulated movie I've ever seen in my life. It was pure crap, from start to finish. The only thing I found remotely entertaining was the fact that I watched a bootlegged version and the people in the theater kept getting up to get popcorn through the entire film. I cringed throughout. The stepsisters were ridiculously stupid and the "pep rally" skit about how rich boys shouldn't date girls as ugly as Hilary Duff was completely absurd. She was without a doubt the prettiest girl in the school, not to mention stylish, so that whole aspect of her being poor and plain was unbelievable. A Princeton bound boy like Chad's character... was he really stupid enough not to recognize her face and voice behind the "mask"? I'll give it some credit, it WAS stupid enough to laugh at in parts, but only in certain parts. I wouldn't recommend it. Maybe very young Hilary fans would like it. I couldn't believe the final scene where Hilary and the gang at the restaurant quit one by one... just horrible, horrible and cliché. Man, that was a bad movie. It made Olsen Twins movies seem like cinematic masterpieces.
