Stranded (2001)
Terrible....
There's few redeeming features about this movie - yes, the shots of "Mars" were beautiful and the ending shots were nice, but that's not enough to make up for the other cinematic atrocities. The acting is as bad as it gets - the director put herself in the lead for example and she can't act. There are numerous periods where nothing happens, the actors just walk around Mars and sometimes the lead actress narrates. I'm a very patient person when it comes to bad sci-fies, but even I couldn't bear it.
Some of the dialogue will make you cringe. It's not just the poor delivery and bad dubbing, it's also the writing. The soliloquies are the worst (ie: when the blond woman says "I hope these arrows are leading me in the right direction, but I can not be sure"). Really, skip it. I'm sure the only reason it has above a 3/10 is that the cast and crew got their families and friends to vote for it. Unfortunate use of 4 million dollars. 3/10
Skeletons in the Closet (2001)
Awful...............
I don't think there was anything redeeming about this film. The plot was formulaic, the acting was mediocre, the dialogue contrived and the shaky tourist-with-a-video-camera cinematography work was the worst of all. I can't believe a company had the nerve to release this film, what a mess.
