I personally cringed and laughed at Superman Returns, but The Spirits Within had nothing I found laughably bad. Incredibly mediocre, maybe, but nothing that offended my senses.
And plus the CGI back then blew my fucking mindddd
Το Κακό - Evil ~ Greek zombie film.
Yes, you read correctly.
And of course, its sequel (yes, there is!) Το Κακό: Στην Εποχή των Ηρώων - Evil in the Time of Heroes ~ Deals with Ancient Greece... and zombies.
Possibly the worst movie you'll ever see that takes itself seriously and thinks it has something poignant to say. Tragic waste of talent, really, as all three main actors are really good in everything else they've ever been in (and Scott Speedman is still likable in this one); they were just given shit to work with.
The premise is that this 23-year-old wife and mother of two young daughters finds out she's dying of cancer; she's given at most a couple of months to live, and so she makes a bucket list. Premise offers promise, right? After all, that's pretty much what "The Bucket List" was, and it's fucking awesome. With the cast this movie had, it should easily be a masterpiece, yeah?
Only it's not. The writer/director -- who somehow got critical acclaim for this dreadful work of bowels -- managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of guaranteed success.
By 45 minutes in, you're rooting for the cancer to win and put the audience out of their misery. The dumb bitch doesn't tell anyone she's dying, and while you can't blame people in some circumstances for choosing to go that route, she doesn't do anything productive with her remaining time. The main thing on her bucket list is getting someone to fall in love with her, which is completely fucktarded given how obvious it is in every scene they're together that her husband adores her.
So, she spends all of her remaining free time cheating on her husband with this creepy guy who has no furniture in his apartment and watched her sleep all night at a laundromat (I think this was supposed to be romantic, but the way it's done is just skeevy as hell). It's like Stephanie Meyer doing "The Bucket List." The dialogue will make you think so too.
Anyway, and she does this under the pretense of working. Despite her family living in a tiny camper at her mom's.
Speaking of her mom, she makes no effort to really bridge their long-standing differences and get her constantly complaining mother to focus on something big that actually warrants dissatisfaction. Again, one might feel that we can't judge how anyone would spend their last days after being told that they're dying, but, if nothing else, getting another guy to fall in love with her while knowing she's going to kick the bucket soon is the height of selfishness.
You really won't be able to like this chick, no matter how hard you try, and won't feel bad for her past the initial diagnosis.
One more thing: don't see it alone. This is even more true of this movie than "Paranormal Activity," which used the tagline. Even with two other people watching and ridiculing it with me, this was the longest hour and 46 minutes I've ever spent watching a movie.
