Patient Seven (2016)
So bad it actually made me angry
Such a waste of time. Everything about this film is bad and lazy. It wasn't even scary, and I'm a wimp.
I ended up fastforwarding through it just to see how the patients were linked. But I shouldn't have bothered - if you've seen any thriller/horror since The Sixth Sense, you've seen this film done better. Turn it off and watch The Others, Hide and Seek, Shutter Isand, The Number 23....there are so many versions of this ending, all done 1000 times better.
I was going to give it 2 stars because at least I cared enough to find out the ending. But the ending.. zombies, vampires, demons, I can suspend belief enough for all of those. But the doctor turning his back to a dangerous patient? That's so beyond belief it's insulting, and made me deduct another star!
Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010)
Awful. I don't know how this has good reviews!
I watched this (on three occasions) while babysitting, as the children I was looking after loved it. Every time I hated it more and more. There is only one likable character, who isn't featured much and does not 'win the day'. The main character is the most detestable: arrogant, shallow, self-centred - everything you don't want your children to look up to. The stories focus around this horrid child and his plans to be 'cool' and 'famous' - all things shallow and worthless. I kept waiting for the life lesson, but it never happened. On top of that, some of the humour is quite nasty. Children might like it, but personally, I didn't like it being encouraged to impressionable young viewers (I promise I'm no old fuddy duddy, I'm 22!). There was nothing genuinely funny or interesting, and even if there had been, I wouldn't have been able to root for the characters because they were so unlikeable. It doesn't represent real school at all, but if children think it does, it will either terrify them about going, or turn them into shallow egocentric brats like this boy. I genuinely don't know how this film has such a high rating. If I ever have my own children, this will definitely not be in our DVD collection!
