The Hunted (2013)
I'm giving this a score of 2 and that's being merciful !!
The phrase "pretentious drivel" comes to mind. Nothing happens in this film. Let me repeat that - Nothing happens. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. If your idea of a scary film is hearing a woman scream in the woods, do yourself a favor - find some woods close to your home, go there at night with a woman you know, and ask her to go into the woods and scream. You'll waste far less time than if you viewed this pitiful excuse for a "thriller". Trust me - I LOVE horror films (and I've been a fan for 54 years, and have seen 'em all). Watching paint dry is far more exciting. The really scary thing is that there are those who think this crap is worth making. They should be ashamed of themselves. Please, please don't waste your time - there are far better films to see. Avoid this at all costs !! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!
Battleship (2012)
Stupid Military Recruitment Video - Don't let teens see this !!
Terrible - the only reason for two stars (instead of one) is that the special effects are great. This film is basically a military recruitment video, designed to appeal to impressionistic teens. Sappy beyond belief. Liam Neeson must really need the cash - I can't imagine any other reason for an actor of his caliber to appear in this trash. I'll bet a year from now you'll be able to find the DVD of this film in the "bargain bin" at the local Walmart. Horrible. The "dumbing down" of the USA continues !! If you know any teens who think this is "cool", do them a favor and give 'em a few psychedelics to free their minds from this propaganda!! Bottom line: Only worth watching if you have nothing else. Avoid !!
Troy (2004)
Some of the worst dialog ever !!
Horrible - some of the worst dialog I've ever heard - good for an Errol Flynn 1930s-era swashbuckler, but certainly not a modern film. This film is a great example of what happens when Hollywood money men make the decisions. Why Brad Pitt chose to star in this debacle is beyond me, not that he's ever been a particularly great actor. It's amazing that Wolfgang Peterson (who directed "Das Boot" so brilliantly) was involved with this piece of garbage. The only thing which kept me watching this was that I kept imagining how the "MST3K" crew would treat it !! A complete waste of time & talent. If you've never seen this one - do yourself a favor, and watch something else !!
