Chile puede (2008)
Good premise, awful delivery
Unlike the previous movie written by Boris Quercia, that is, "The King of A**holes", this one lacks depth and the humanity and charming sense of humor that watermarked his 2006 effort.
At the beginning, the film cuts right to the chase: In a third-world country with no space agency and almost no space experience, a Spanish language teacher is launched in a spacecraft - that lacks security measures and has little-to-none oxygen. He won the "honor" of being Chile's first astronaut... at a TV-show.
Also, the entire mission control crew departs at the first scene.
Is a great premise. But, instead of taking advantage of it, the movie revolves endlessly around the astronaut's girlfriend quest for the launching site. Sure some gags appear, but they're mostly a cavalcade of clichés. The USA counterpart of the Chilean mission control, instead of evolving into clever irony, is just campy at its best.
On and on, "Chile Puede" was a brilliant opportunity of making a really smart comedy, sadly lost into boring, old and worn-out gags.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Boring, hyped piece of rubbish
I'm glad I never spent a dime seeing this movie. At the time, it had so much merchandising that it ringed my inner "they-spend-too-much-money-in-marketing-so-it-must-suck" bell. And I was right.
When I finally got to see the Blair Witch Project, first I started with a healthy curiosity - that turned to total boredom after the first 10 minutes of seeing some stupid brats running in circles through the woods. Scary? not at all. Plain and boring story. But great marketing.
Unless you're a teenager who get scared easily, don't watch this movie. Because this is the kind of movie you endure through it, the kind of movie that make you feel that someone is ripping your arms off.
