Frat Party (2009)
Could've been better
This, to me, was a total waste of time. The acting wasn't the worst I've seen, but it sure wasn't the best either (look out for the most horrible Italian accent/portrayal ever caught on tape).It seems they tried hard to make it a typical frat movie, with the usual amount of humor and over exaggerated situations - but without success. The story is thin, typical and predictable, so after the first ten minutes, you know the rest of the plot. It's slow paced, and where there's supposed to be parties, it basically feels like you're watching a prayer meeting or similar (not to be disrespectful towards prayer meetings though, but it's not a party...) If it hadn't been for Duffy (Randy Wayne), I wouldn't have finished watching the movie. Thankfully he had the lead, cause he's basically the only one with any talent for acting (although, the script doesn't give the actors much to work on), and surpasses the rest of the cast - oh, and he kinda reminds me of Luke Wilson in this movie, not that it matters ;P I think "Frat Party" tries to follow the league of movies such as American Pie, Scary Movie or Road Trip, unfortunately without the same success. But, sure, it may work for those of you who can relate, or the ones who's not picky or demanding to story lines, acting and over used jokes.
Satan's Little Helper (2004)
Are You Kidding Me?
The fact that someone actually spent money on such a bad script, is beyond me. This really must be one of the worst films, in addition to "Haunted Highway" I have ever seen. BAD actors, and a really bad story. There's no normal reactions to any event in this film, and even though it's Halloween , normal people would have bigger reactions when they're witnessing their father being killed, not to mention gutted, people with tape covering their airways, not being able to breathe (in a room with at least 50 people I might add) and some person dressed up as Satan dragging dead people out of his house, even an 8 year old would see the difference between a doll and a person. Not to mention the fact that no one could possibly be that naive and dumb to believe the reality of Satan and Jesus' appearances on the same day, like this kid does. When i was 8, I sure had more brains than that.
But, the really stupid thing is that everyone else seems to be falling for this mute Satan look-alike as well, no questions asked. The question throughout the film is, is it really Satan, or is it some crazy person killing people off whenever he feels like it? Well, he's got human hands, arms, built and whatever, so I guess he's supposed to be in the movie as well, otherwise they did a lousy job concealing it. Then, with this person being human and all, he was able to kill an old lady, a man and his mistress, 5 (!!???) cops (all with guns and training i presume), and a few other people.....and obviously everyone was just standing there waiting for him, or what?
The whole concept and way of telling the story is absolutely the worst thing I've seen, and I would never recommend anyone to waste 1 hour and 30 minutes of their lives to watch this total crap.
Unconditional Love (2002)
Amazing!
When I first bought this movie, I had my doubts about it, even though the cast was pretty impressive. But after seeing it, I really do not regret spending the money. In fact, I'd love to spend it again and again and again on movies like this.... An absurd combination of humor, drama, thrill and the big questions. This is exactly what makes it a Great movie. Okay, some might not enjoy what they see, and some might even turn it off after a little while. your loss. It's got a wonderful way of dealing with the issues we've all been through in one way or the other, and the characters you think you won't enjoy the company of throughout the movie, turns out to be the ones you really come to love after a short while. For anyone with an open mind, and a sense of humor and living - watch this movie, I promise you you won't be disappointed!
