The Whole Ten Yards (2004)
Oh dear....
A real stinker. The Whole 9 Yards was not exactly great entertainment, but this one is a REAL stinker. It makes the assumption you actually remember the plot line of its highly forgettable prequel..... If only the characters had not survived the hits on there lives the first time round.....we could have all been saved from this follow up. Matt Perry is Chandler....again, Bruce Willis is not up to his best and the rest of the cast overact like demons. The plot is so bizarrely convoluted that I started to lose track very early in the piece, or maybe that is because I ceased to care. And the script sounds like they were all making it up on the run. Lets pray there is no Whole 11 Yards!
Rollerball (2002)
Where to start....
.....after reading all the comments here on IMDB about this mad-woman's breakfast of a movie, I don't really feel the need to say anything more than.....WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE NIGHT VISION SCENE???? You can't see a damn thing, it looks like it was shot on home video, you can't see the characters or the action.....what the hell were they thinking??
I just had to get that off my chest.
Oh, and if you feel like a laugh...God knows you'll need it if you've just watched this flick, check out Roger Ebert's review! It's the best thing about the movie!!
A Mother's Testimony (2001)
Bellow average TV Movie
A Mother's Testimony is a bellow average TV movie. Not only is the quality of the story and script poor, but the visuals and production values are also lacking any kind of finesse. Kate Jackson (who's voice has become so croaky and shaky, she resembles Katherine Hepburn), portrays the mother of son who has just been released from jail. The young man Kenny, played by Dr Quinn Medicine Woman's Chad Allen, is welcomed back into the family with open arms and given every opportunity for a second chance. Needless to say, he blows it. Right from the opening title, you know what is about to happen. There is not one single surprise in the whole, rather dull, piece. As it draws to it's painfully obvious and lumbering conclusion, you realise you could not give a toss about a single thing that has happened in the last 93 minutes. The director Julian Chojnacki (who's first full length feature this is), lingers long on shots of hands wringing, as if to generate some kind of emotion or tension. Unfortunately for us, this technique fails miserably. Unless you are a particular fan of Ms Jackson's, who is not at her best here, I would avoid this bland installment into the TV movie catalogue, at all costs. It is simply just not worth your time.
