Blunderful!
15 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Well done Luc! I just got back from watching this god awful, pointless snore fest that completely lacked the most basic components of entertainment.

Arthur goes to the land of the minimoy (You probably know why by now). Him being 10 years old himself, checks out princess Selenia's curves who also happens to be TEN. Arthur must have hit puberty when he was EIGHT or the people who made this movie (not only Mr Luc) are simply ridiculously perverted OR they were just too damn stupid to think about what they were doing.

(Just for the record. I am all for the sexy sexy hot hot but when you create a CGI character that is supposed to be TEN, i'd say you should think twice before highlighting butt cheeks and giving her a b cup. C'mon!) In one scene, Selenia even talks about having children as her children will take the throne one day. Arthur responds : "But for that you need a husband". Selenia explains how she is unmarried, leaving Arthur happy as he realizes that he might just be the lucky jolly guy for the job. Hmm Hmm Hmm.... Yes when you are TEN this is all you think about innit? Arthur explains why he is there and they get attacked by the "awful henchmen" who ride mosquitoes are fought off by Selenia, Arthur and an old geezer controlling gadgets in the sky. This being a family movie, the henchmen are ridiculously stupid and the audience is left laughing (well, they tried to make the audience laugh) than rather feeling the danger of the situation.

Arthur is now the hero for reasons unknown as he did absolutely nothing but ride a mosquito, nearly killing himself. He DID pull the magic sword from the stone (ironic isn't it ?) but it looked as if they were doing just fine at first (doesn't it always?).

Selenia starts talking of a mission to kill the evil emperor of Necropolis (oh was she on a mission?) and her father the king tells her to bring Arthur.

They leave the minimoy village and begin their journey toward Necropolis. A number of completely uninteresting things happen now that they are in Arthur's grandmother's back yard (Tiny kids in someone's yard? This seems strangely familiar).

Anyway, they keep going and eventually they end up at a BAR after being rescued by a friend of the bar owner. Now... selenia is 1000 (Minimoy) years old. Arthur is as old as Selenia...

Betameche is 300 years old...

If you can't count, that makes it two TEN year olds and one THREE year old hanging out with the pot-smoking bar owner Max, drinking funky green stuff from glasses that resemble lab equipment...

When this part of the movie is reached... it feels as if you have been asleep for ten minutes when in fact half the bloody movie has gone by and you are still waiting for a story line.

I will not spoil things further by talking about the ending. If you completely missed my point, what I am trying to say is that this movie has nothing, is nothing (but disturbing) and should not be seen by anyone.

I apologize for the poor and confusing structure of this text.

The Terminal (2004)
A new fresh idea
26 September 2004
Where to start.... This is truly an original , fresh movie. When you think you have seen it all something like this comes along and brightens your life for a few hours. I read a comment from this guy who said that he didn't buy that he actually got stuck. The thing is , i recently heard that this is based on a true story , i don't really know how much is made up but the concept is based on a true story. Anyway, when watching this type of movie you cant really be pessimistic about how stupid the main characters situation is. You just have to accept it ;). If movies were 100% realistic then why bother watching them?. If you're a fan of somewhat odd movies with clever humor and a splash of drama then you just got to see this movie.
