The Ring (2002)
It's like someone mixed "The Sixth Sense" "The Shining" and "Video Dead" together and ended up with a big bucket of crap.
People liked this? This movie was terrible. It was nothing more than a cliche "creepy little boy with single mother" horror movie. It had an extremely thin plot littered with holes and irritating loose ends. By the first time boom mic was visible, the movie became impossible to take seriously. The jump scenes were so predictable that my friend actually waited on the edge of his seat for one, and when the screams from the audience came, he got out of his seat and jumped in the air. The most terrifying thing about the movie was that people in the theater were truly frightened by what they saw. It was a comedy for me.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
Spinning in his grave I tell you! SPINNING
***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Ok...I don't know what kubrick wanted in this movie, but I'm sure it wasn't this. It was too long, too dramatic, and too preachy. I'm serious when I say that it did not present a single idea about robots that hadn't already been presented with terminator 2. And as moronic as T2 was, it was at least three times as good as AI. It paralelled the story of jesus, attempted to retell pinocchio, and even hinted at the wizard of oz! PICK AN ARCHETYPE AND STICK WITH IT! Robots evolved into intelligent, reproductive beings, found david in new york city under the ocean, and somehow cloned his mother for a day. What the hell kind of ending is that? The only thing I enjoyed in the movie was teddy.
This is not, as people before me have written, a movie for intelligent people. This is a movie for stupid people to watch and feel like they have seen and understood an intelligent movie.
25 Years of Punk (2001)
Where the hell was Op Ivy???
THis was a good documentary, and it had some great information on the beginnings of punk, but it spent only five minutes on American hardcore, and it didn't even mention the most important punk band since the Sex Pistols....Operation Ivy! It completely ignored the ska movement, which was directly parallel to the punk movement. They were very important to each other, and ska should have been given the time of day.
