The Hunt for the Zodiac Killer (2017)
Time proves how way off this 'gee whiz' series was
The real cracking of the Z340 code in December 2020 makes fools of the stooges who acted as experts in episode 5 entitled "The Code is Cracked". They were so off in their "solution" that it isn't funny, it's pathetic.
All of the episodes with ex cops running all over the USA chasing phantoms is pathetic to watch, too.
This series is representative of the worst of American so-called documentaries.
If I could give it ZERO stars, then I would.
Thank God It's Friday (1978)
Thank God It's Over!
That's what I said as the end titles rolled.
This film is nothing more than a drawn out promotion of Donna Summer and The Commodores and a bunch of other contracted artists on the Casablanca and Motown record labels.
What little there is of a plot is risible. The dialog is dreadfully amateurish and I pity the few name actors trying to work with it. Most of them simply phone in their lines.
Andrea Parker makes the best of a bad lot.
Leonard Maltin summed it up perfectly when he declared it to be 'perhaps the worst film ever to have won some kind of Academy Award'.
Simply awful.
Around the Bend (2004)
One long ad for KFC
As soon as that 'Desperate Housewives' plinky plonk type music started playing over the dialog early in the proceedings I should have pressed the eject button.
But no, I thought what the heck, let me see how bad this thing can get. So, I sat through it, often on fast forward to escape the sheer dreariness of it. The dialog is simply awful. The story totally unbelievable, and the acting pedestrian at best.
I don't know if KFC put money into this thing, but if they didn't they sure got a ton of free product placement.
I found the "making of ..." documentary in the extras way more interesting than the film.
Easily one of the worst films I have ever forced myself to watch.
