Labor Pains (2009)

Not Just Labor Pains... My Whole Body Aches

[2/10 · 8 July 2009]

I managed to sit through the better part of an hour of this film. I could not believe just how truly pathetic it was. I mean, the movie was trying, desperately, to be funny, and failed so many times. Time and time and time again, actually. Lindsay can't carry a film on her own, and the supporting cast just seemed to be there for the pay cheque.

A weak plot of Lindsay's character working in a publishing house, trying to support herself and her sister after the death of their parents (through a car accident, of course, because that's how the parents always get bumped off...) sees the main character seconds away from being fired until s he gets the 'brilliant' idea to claim she's pregnant.

Seriously, if you're a die-hard fan of Lohan, maybe that'll be enough for you. But not even the brief, brief, brief appearance of Garafalo could keep me awake through this...

Impact (2009)

A Wonderful Time For The Viewers, At Least

[10/10 · 4 June 2009]

Granted, I've only seen the first half of this movie, Impact, but already I am quite intrigued. You may not like the acting, you may not like the script even, but you can't deny that the scientific theories alone are enough to keep you enthralled. What are the chances of a meteorite shower clouding a larger meteor that crashed into the moon? Not only crashed into the moon, but leaves behind something that effects planet Earth as we know it. How would you feel if you knew you had 39 days until the end of everything? To think that one single, random act of Mother Nature is going to eradicate your life. Think about that. Watch Impact and think about it some more.

And Natasha Henstridge is just gorgeous in this! Finally, a role that suits her!
