Final Move (2006)
Just another LA serial killer movie.
Start off with the directing. While brother John may have been able to get away with being a low talent writer and director- thanks to his undeserved Oscar for Rocky- Joey has a big zero in the talent department. While his actors are truly of the B-list caliber, his directing lowers their performances to a D- level. Their performances could easily be outdone by actors of adult films.
And let's not forget the so-called authors of this play who covered no new ground but ripped off at least a dozen other manuscripts and screenplays to come up with an obvious ending. Then we finish with the tired cliché' of concluding the story by telling everything through a final meaningful dialogue.
PS: As a retired police officer would someone tell these fools that that they are carrying their pistols wrong (do not bend the off-side elbow), and cops do NOT put their flashlights in front of them because that is exactly where the bad guys will aim! Duh!
Gunfight at La Mesa (2010)
Watch this if you want to torture yourself
Where do I begin my critical analysis of this piece of beetle dung of a movie? One of the critics said the acting was one the level of a junior high school play, however, I think that is overly generous. The lines were delivered in a stiff and staccato measure as to lead me to believe they were reading them off of cue cards without rehearsal. The audio portion of the film must have used a mini-cassette tape recorder, and only one at that. And speaking of sound effects, what were they firing in those weapons, caps? The racist plot has indeed been way, way, way overdone. It is time to stick a fork in it. And the hairstyles in 1937? No man had hair like that back then. As for the gunfight at the end, my dear lord could it be more cliché'? Just grab an ending off of the shelf of standard Hollywood endings.
This "western drama" was neither. It was a pathetic Hollywood comedy which was not really fun.
Journey to Promethea (2010)
Pluck out mine eyes and torment me no longer.
Bad acting, bad dialog,bad writing, bad directing, bad special effects, and bad musical score but other than that a good movie. The only saving grace is the queen's scantily clad Amazon guards. The male soldiers were armor but the ladies do not require much more than a loin cloth. This movie could not make up its mind whether to be soft core porn or a serious film and as a result it was neither. I have seen better acting in porn films as well as better plots. And what is with those fake British accents?
I cannot believe that someone had $200 million dollars just laying around that needed to be spent on this dog of a movie. Surely there are more worthy causes that could benefit from this money. Scholarships for clown college perhaps?
