The Ruins was a deep, intelligent movie.

No, I’m joking. It was anything but deep and intelligent. This movie was another great example of cheap, crass movie-making. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think every movie has to be sooo deep and sooo subtle and sooo artistic for me to think it’s a good one. I enjoyed Independence Day. I enjoyed Snatch. Hell, I liked I, Robot. Anchorman… i mean i could go on listing movies that require you to lower your brain activity to enjoy… I like plenty of ‘em.

But this was bad. It was like, “how can we show something really gross here??” and then start wrapping plot around that… the whole thing could have been 30 minutes long and it would have been ten times better, because there might be less completely unnecessary gore (just for the sake of gore) and i would have only spent half an hour watching it.

Ironically, the only real advice i can give is actually the advice the film’s plot gives: STAY AWAY FROM THE RUINS.

black friday.

Terrible Movie

august rushed for a loss of yards.

I did not shop today.

waking up early + masses of people = angry drew.

I slept in. it was wonderful.

I worked, but i also got to catch Friday movie MATTinee finally.

And what i saw was terrifying.

August Rush is one of the worst movies i have ever, ever seen in a theater.

I think Helix Loaded is probably the only worse one i can think of right now. You’ve never heard of Helix Loaded? Exactly my point.

Anyway, this movie was just bad. I was iffy on the premise when i saw the trailer, but i was hoping to be surprised.

And i was. by how much this movie failed to live up to my already pretty low expectations.

bad writing, bad acting, bad plot, bad character development. i could go into detail, but i don’t want to bring up all the bad memories.
it even insults musicians by ridiculously oversimplifying musicianship.
just abysmal, really.

looking for solace, or silver lining? the cinematography was adequate.
I would also say the movie had a good message of being able to appreciate the musical sounds present in everyday life, but the fact that that message is mainly given through a child in need of major mental therapy kinda ruins that part.

luckily matt green and i laughed at it alot. that’s my solace.

happy black friday night.

EDITOR’S Note: You are free to to like the movie. What you see here is my opinion. Please do not bother telling me how apparently evil of a person I am because i did not think is was the most beautiful thing since Casablanca. To judge a person’s character based on their opinion of a movie is a childish and immature thing to do.
