Flightplan (2005)
Biscuits taste better with Flightplan!
I'm not about to waste too much of my time on this - the movie doesn't deserve it.
This is one of the (if not THE) worst films I have seen. And no, I'm not one of those people that brands any movie they didn't really like 'the worst ever....', I mean it REALLY is that bad.
It's the plot, see. If you sat a monkey at a typewriter for 20 minutes it would come up with something more plausible than this - I'd go as far as to say that this movie spirals into utter madness, insanity even. So many plot holes, so many huge, gaping, bottomless plot holes! This has, however, had a curious effect on me. Oddly, it's led me to believe that Flightplan may actually be the saviour of cinema. Please, I beg you, go and see this movie! This way you'll have a new-found respect for writers, directors, producers and actors (excluding those associated with this monstrosity, of course).
Think of it like eating manure; a vile assault on your senses, naturally, but everything else afterwards and for the rest of your life would taste like heaven. Even the simplest of biscuits would taste sublime! And thus, your life improves.
GO AND SEE FLIGHTPLAN!
End Game (2006)
Unbelievably Dreadful
So I'm looking to rent a DVD and I come across this movie called 'End Game'. It stars James Woods and Cuba Gooding JR and has the synopsis of a taught political thriller. Well worth a look then. Or so I thought.
Boy, was I wrong.
End Game has just about the most ridiculous plot I have ever had the displeasure of enduring. Now being something of a whodunnit, I can't really tear into it as I would like without 'ruining' it for those who have yet to experience this monstrosity. But questions such as 'Why has he/she/they done this?', and 'Where on earth did they get the resources to pull this off?' are all too abundant following the film's unintentionally hilarious conclusion.
As for the acting - you know those films where you can almost feel that an actor's realised that they've made a terrible mistake in signing on for a movie, and this then shows in their performance? This is one of those. Accompany this with a laughable script and seriously flawed, irritating direction and you have the recipe for cinematic poison.
Of course, this didn't make it to the cinema, and for the same reason you should not allow it into your living room; it is appalling.
