Man on a Ledge (2012)
I wish I was on the ledge
I am amazed at the generosity of human kind. Somebody funded, created and distributed this movie, which I can only assume was a charitable gesture to the actors involved. It certainly wasn't to the cinema-goers.
We won't detain you with the plot, because to be honest, the director didn't. The acting was almost uniformly two dimensional. The plot line - an exercise in scripting by numbers. In the theatre we watched it in, it was clear people were voting with their feet by leaving. They were the lucky ones. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, the finale includes a proposal scene in an Irish police pub.
I didn't actually check, but I assume they had secured the ledges in the building we were watching it in.
Move on, nothing to see here.
Hot Fuzz (2007)
Don't watch it - burn it.
Dear God, I feel I lack the mental faculties to describe just how little I enjoyed this film. I fear that no one can.
Hott Fuzz is somewhat lacking in a particularly solid plot, nor does it really offer anything but pointless & quite unnecessary amounts of violence.
Clearly, the film would ask us to believe that everybody in the Stanford was imcopetent with firearms or had picked up the wrong manual - firearms for dyslexics.
I wondered after watching this movie, will I ever get back the time that I've lost? Is there anything excusable for my blatant disregard for human decency? I suppose I could give to charity OR adopt an orphan. Neither I feel would truly absolve me of my sin, unfortunately.
I found the majority of characters involved rather irritating, tiresome & so shallow you could wade in their depth. I think I'd gladly be taken out by the killers rather than have to suffer watching anymore of this.
If you want something boring, unchallenging & well just plain awful, then look no further. God knows I wont ruin the plot for you - the film can do that without my assistance.
