the condemned was pretty terrible, yes. i rented it expecting very little -- i just wanted to see a movie starring a professional wrestler who cant act beating up on extras for freedom -- but no, it had to try and be socially meaningful and pack its movie full of horrible, violent rape and torture and then blame you for enjoying watching it. well, take heart, you socially conscious filmmakers -- i did NOT enjoy watching the violence in your film. because you guys suck so bad at making movies!
i just watched “mr. wrong” last night. i think i’d give it 4 out of 10. (that’s really low for me, i like everything.) it starts off promisingly, and i like both bill pullman and ellen degeneres and it has what you would think is the most inassailably reliable premise of any movie comedy ever -- you know, the crazy lover who drives you up the wall has been the stuff of hilarity since “it happened one night” and “bringing up baby.” but after about the first half hour it goes to seed and just pretty much persists in sucking till the end.
