Untraceable (2008)

Not Bad

[6/10 · 2 January 2009]

Disturbing? Yes. I do not like to see animal cruelty in any movie. Killing the cat had nothing to do with his supposed "reason" for carrying out these acts. This could have easily been left out of the movie.

Unrealistic? Yes. Why would a crack team of FBI agents not be calling the power company to find out who's power consumption went through the roof when 137+ heat lamps were on?? I can't say I'm the brightest guy in the world but come on even I would have tried that route.

Kept me watching? Yes. It had plenty of flaws but I have to say that I did not mind this movie. Diane Lane did a good performance and I liked her character. Not bad for entertainment.

6/10

Wendy and Lucy (2008)

Boring

[2/10 · 1 January 2009]

Very slow moving story.

The lead does not have any manners (does not say please and hardly ever says thank you).

The security guard was very nice and helpful and although he obviously didn't have much he was willing to help a stranger.

I would not recommend unless you also don't mind watching paint dry.

The one bonus for this film is the dog is cute. You never really like the lead character enough to care. Sure there was a part of me as a pet owner to hope she could find her dog, but ultimately I was thinking the dog would be better off with someone else.

2/10

The Alphabet Killer (2008)

Painful

[2/10 · 29 December 2008]

Saw the rating of 6/10 on here and decided to give this a try. Bad mistake!

I thought this was the worst serial killer movie I have ever seen. You know it's a bad sign when the serial killer seems more sane than the lead character.

The lead character was not very bright nor likable, and I spent most of the movie hoping for her demise.

Just because it's loosely based off a real life event does not mean it should become a movie.

I would NOT recommend this movie at all.
