Timecode (2000)
Painful
Timecode was a failed experiment. Four screens running simultaneously, running for 90 minutes in real-time. Sounds pretty intriguing, right? Sure.. If you assume that the plot is interesting, the characters believable and likeable, and the acting competent. (spoilers) This was not the case here.. It started off pretty good, with an amusing lesbian verbal exchange(You are a $@^#%$# SLUT!) but got progressively worse as the movie went on. A vapid sex scene follows, as well as some conversations between characters that seem to be completely impertinent and unnecessary. Seriously, I would've liked to see Salma Hayek get hit by a car or something in this movie, she comes off as sounding so "highschool drama course". One of the LEAST annoying characters dies in the end, and then they throw in a weak connection to this blonde woman who did absolutely nothing of import previously.
Seriously, skip this, or watch this as an example of how innovation doesn't always produce "sexy, tense and unnerving" results..
The Ring (2002)
Absurdly scary..
This movie had the hair on my skin prickling every scene.. Even the scenes which aren't overtly shocking are darkly ominous. Ghastly imagery in both the faces of the damned and the video itself.. It is TERRIFYING. See it in the theater, I've got a feeling that this won't translate to video well. There's something about being in a dark room with a big screen with people you don't know that makes you vulnerable. Which means that this movie will absolutely rend you. See it.
