The Real Cancun (2003)
Fly on the Wall of American Youth
Cancun what i know about it from the Girls Gone Wild to Mexico dangerous clips,This film showed me a little more with less sleaze. I mean my understanding is a group of teens rent a big boat get sh_t faced and commit every sin under the sun, showing all their body parts, even the fake ones. Its mostly women with women and the blokes just watch on and try for a grope. Short of the American screams which is easily fixed by the mute button. It was interesting to see the other side like around Mexico itself,having never really traveled it showed another place that would interest me for a holiday after the young party has left of course.
SPOILER ALERT Also interesting is when the group go out only the blokes pick up and some girls who have been playing hard to get all week, get Nasty because they wanted to be with them of course never mentioned it . That amused me and it reflects the games they play in how they will get burned. You do learn a lot about the American Teen culture that i see now in Australia where our young teens go to their Aussie Cancun the Gold Coast.
SPOILER ALERT You also see a great time in this one bloke's life Alan where everyone in the crowd decides to vote for him as the best body, it shows them in a different light, they are not always thinking about themselves but about others around them, as i see over there if your not a Jock you are more or less forgotten. Alan steals the film all by being so honest with everyone, its refreshing to see because most of the cast are wearing masks and you never see the real people until its too late.
Where is my time machine there was nothing like this 20 years ago when i was a teen. Don't be put off by the negative reviews watch and observe it won't hurt.
The Pink Panther 2 (2009)
Lack Luster Dissappoiting
When i heard there was going to be another Pink Panther film, i thought good i hope they have a funny actor to play Clouseau not that Has been Martin who was once funny in the 80's with the film "The Jerk".
They need a natural talent for comedy, like Sacha Baron Cohen who can be believed as a French man. Or even one better why not the talented Jean Reno i mean he is French after all. Of course that didn't happen and no one had the GUTS to tell poor Martin. He is so wrong for this Character.
As for the funny man John Cleese as Chief Inspector Dreyfus who is also a French Character with a Very English accent i noticed at least Kevin Kline attempted to speak French in the first film. Cleese looked and played bored. As for the other cast members Garcia, Molina, Yuki Matsuzaki and Aishwarya Rai they did their best with what they had to work with.
The story is, Yes there is a Plot, somewhere amongst this excuse to waste another 50 to a 100 million instead of giving the money to a charity where it could do some good by feeding the poor instead of feeding actors and Director's Ego and producing this dribble.
The Pink Panther was stolen again they form a dream team which is more like a nightmare a excuse to throw some good actors together or give less lines to Martin as he has nothing funny to say. ------------SPOILER ALERT------------------------ Clouseau has a on again off again romance with Nicole(Emily Mortimer) who i thought does a good job from both films to get some comedy in her scenes only to be over shadowed by Martin standard over used Hamburger lines.
No Kato again, Ponton has wife problems and stays at Clouseau's place bringing his two sons in the form two pint size pains ready to Attack Clouseau to keep him alert or just to burn up more screen time.
2 points for the scenery Paris looks good at night and Day but like the film wasted.
I'm not sure what other people's idea of comedy is maybe just dangling a bunch of keys in front of them like you would to a infant to get a smile is all you need. For me its creative writing, timing and talent and this film has none of these. Watch the early Panther films and you will appreciate Real Genius its not the name of the actor its about Character in the film. SELLERS you feel for you want him to win because he made you care, Martin comes across as a pushy car sales person, who you just want to run away from, have our standards sunk that low.
I hope Mr Steve Martin does read this because i enjoyed his early work but someone needs to be honest and tell him to leave the Panther Films to a better suited actor, If that happens then we will have a Pink Panther Franchise for the future as for now i doubt if there will be a third film.
My Name Is Modesty: A Modesty Blaise Adventure (2004)
This film is a joke
This film is a joke and Quinton should be ashamed of himself, trying to pass this off as a Modesty Blaise Film. If you are having trouble sleeping then all means rent this film. The stick figure they call a actress who is suppose to be Modesty Blaise has got to be the most boring person on this planet. Maybe she could be used as a hat stand in the back ground of a real film.seventy-five minutes of nothing thank you who ever invented the fast forward button. If you see this film if you can call it that coming your way RUN. I can't help but think what 3rd world country could of used the money wasted of this crap. this film is boring the actors are boring waste of colour a waste air they breath If you would like to see Mostey Blaise Film then watch the one they made in the 60's maybe that what the director should of done.
3 Non-Blondes (2003)
Best thing to cure your insomnia
Laugh no i did not. From what i saw and heard i would think these three clearly non blondes either have dirty information on the Producer of this rubbish or he tried to stop them making this and they put him up on racist charge to make this crap. If you want any benefit from this try using the mute button. You won't have listen to this unfunny dribble but you see some nice sites of London if you haven't traveled.
I would expect this crap on some cable station in the USA at 4am in the morning than on our ABC in Australia in normal viewing time.
These three have to look at the big picture and realise they are not funny time to get a real job, maybe check out chicks or traffic wardens or better still somewhere below the streets like mining in a very deep hole with a warning to their workmates to wear ear muffs at all times. If you have trouble sleeping forget counting sheep if you can face it, your a braver person than i, watch this show and you will fall asleep.
