Underdog (2007)
Actually, it was a pretty good movie.
This movie was fun to watch, even for us adults. The humor was spot on, and the acting was what you'd expect. Jason Lee was great as Underdog's voice. Get this movie when it comes out on DVD. It's worth your while for a few chuckles with the kids. Even though it's aimed at kids, both my wife and I liked it, and honestly, I usually don't like kid's movies. I think they are usually way to low on the intelligence and believability scale. This one, actually had a decent story that didn't stray into stupidity and utter ridiculousness that most kid's movies do. Once again, go see this movie, or get the DVD when it comes out, you can see it again and again.
Caved In (2006)
Another great hit from Sci-Fi pictures!
Wow. I agree with the above review 100%. Sci-Fi needs to try and hire some decent directors. Think about it, even with the small budget these films probably have, a good director could make all the difference. I would watch a well directed movie even if the special effects were done on someone's home computer! And although I'm no film student or movie maker, I do notice things in movies that are cheaply made in contrast to those which are made with a large budget. Lighting: In a cheap movie, the lighting is uniform in every single scene! In this movie, they were in a cave for a long time, but with the lighting, it was too obvious it was a set. If they'd just made it darker, we could have suspended our disbelief a little bit. Sound: Most major motion pictures use some stereo to mix it up a bit. However, all these cheap movies appear to have everything in mono, so it's hard to hear actors vs. sound effects. Acting: I know it's damn hard to find actors who can do a good job, but give me a break. It seems that Sci-fi always goes to find the old has- been actors to do these movies. Guess what? These people are has-beens because they weren't any good to start with!!!! Here's a tip: go find some fresh-out-of-acting school actors, and give them a shot. It has GOT to be better than what we see in these movies! Fuce! I could out act the fools in those movies!
