Wristcutters: A Love Story

Bail on this.  The acting is so so, the directing is fine, the cinematography is okay, and the script is okay, but still bail and here (in a long winded statement) is why.  When I was in high school, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" was the greatest thing.  We would go to midnight showings and do whatever we could to go see it over and over again, and if you didn't get it, well, you were just not hip or savvy enough to see its beauty.  I have wisened with age and here is the deal...that movie is crap.

"Wristcutters" falls into the same thing.  It takes sometthing bizarre and/or shocking and treats it in too cavalier/common a fashion for me.  In this movie, folks who commit suicide land in their own weird afterlife and how/when they committed suicide is revisited and treated as nothing really sad, shocking or whatever.  Instead, the suicides (and attempts) are treated by all with the same gravity as grabbing a coke from the refridgerator.

I saw this as an attempt by a new and inexperienced cast a crew trying to take a shortcut to notoriety by treating suicide in such a fashion. 

Riverworld

Eh.  This was crazy long (like 2 minutes shy of 3 hours) and had I known that and this was really a TV series crammed into one long continuous loop, I would not have watched it.  People are killed and then crawl out of a river where they run into the likes of Mark Twain, Pizzaro, etc.  Then you have members of "Blue Man Group" popping in and out to either advise or hinder progress.

There was nothing really great about the acting, the directing, the score, or the writing.  The cinematography was good as the lighting was fine and all of that, but there was nothing really awesome about the entire production.  You could tell that this was made for TV and that is where it should have stayed.

Made for Each Other

Oh God, so bad, so bad.  Please save yourself and don't watch this.  Just bad, save yourself.  Even with nothing in the house that I ordered from the lovely red envelope people, I could not bring myself to go past 14 minutes.

Move on.

Bitten

Bad.  Stay away.  I had such high hopes...not expectations for this.  Jason Mewes' character of Jay in "Clerks" (1994) was awesome, but like the rest of the "Clerks" cast, there has since been nothing worthwhile acting wise from any of them...this included. 

The previews looked good so I got it in hopes of someone from the "Clerks'" cast being able to obtain some form of acting redemption...didn't happen.  The only decent thing about this movie were the scenes in which (for no real reason other than to trying and save the movie) Erica Cox removes her shirt and bares her breasts.  Nice.  But, however nice those scenes were, they couldn't make up for the torture the bad script, acting, directing, score, and cinematography inflicted.

Bad movie, bad!!!
