Jasper Mall (2020)
Sweet but needs historical context
I enjoyed this doc and its showcase on a dying mall, many of which are in the same sad state across the country. The cinematography was perhaps the best aspect of the film, and they use it in the place of narration often and brilliantly.
I would've appreciated a more linear perspective that also showcased clips and videos of the mall in its prime, instead of the brief scene of one of the tenants flipping through a photo album of news clippings that are hard for the audience to even see.
Accordingly, I felt the overall story didn't serve those we see on screen in present day. Someone who is young and never experienced mall culture when it was at it's height in the 80s and early 90s would be completely bored by this film since it lacks all context from the past.
Constantine (2005)
This movie is a waste
Poorly directed, lifeless performances, unnecessary music video camera techniques, and a waste of a truly excellent comic book storyline with outrageous potential.
To move the story from Britian to the US ruins this film before it was ever made. Reeves portrayal of Constantine is laughable, and more importantly, boring and unbelievable as a "hero". Reeves has already conquered his "Raging Bull" by successfully portraying Neo; rent and re-watch "The Matrix" if you are hungry for a movie that makes him look believable and actually makes sense.
Skip. this. movie.
Saw (2004)
An Utter Waste of 100 Minutes
"Saw" fails to deliver on so many levels, it would be a waste of (more) of my time to go beyond the minimum of 10 lines required by IMDb to review, but i'll try: If you loved "Se7en" and "Silence of the Lambs" - you will NOT LIKE THIS MOVIE.
It is no where near the caliber and everything about it is completely sophomoric including the acting. There is nothing scary about this movie - not once did I find myself scared, on the edge of my seat or confused about what was to come. "Saw" is predictable, full of plot holes, and a huge waste of talent (Danny Glover, looking at you). I would recommend waiting for rental and paying the $9.00 to see 'The Grudge" instead, which is not much better, but at least, scary.
Cabin Fever (2002)
The worst movie in the history of movies
This movie makes "Freddie Got Fingered" look Oscar-worthy. No one working on this movie or acting in it should be allowed to ever work in Hollywood again. And that's an understatement.
