Dreadfully Boring
... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreUnshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
... View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
... View MoreIn France, the first movie of Bullock has always been linked with "Judge Dredd" and in some way, she has been "discovered" by Sly. So I got surprised to discover in a cheap DVDs store ("all for 5 euros") a movie before this first one and also called her beginning.When you see the trailer, it's looks like a horror movie happening in the south American jungle but as you watch it, you can see that it is just plain reality: the fight for forest, Indians versus owners.I don't like Spanish culture so my interest was low but I really appreciated the shooting in real locations! The rhythm was good for an hour but exploded with the explosion sequence because it degenerated then in a very low action movie. But, bad script or not, Bullock is a really a charming and talented actress, right from her start"s".
... View MoreI'd only seen Craig on A River Runs Through it. Where he was under care from a master.But in this movie.... he's alone. This is where what little talent is shown to be nil.(Spoilers)In truth.. I bought this dvd for $4 and because it's a movie Sandra would rather forget. I can see why. Although it lacks full nudity... it show's enough for us to imagine the rest. It also shows that Sandra can act (unlike one of her peers Julia Roberts).And she does act when she wants to. Craig... he can't act. That and his character is asking for a fight.This movie has such horrible writing. It's probably a good thing that this is a basic student film. Most of the Corman films are. They help beginning filmakers create their first films. These idiots have no chemistry together. No chemistry and they have to drug the two of them just to get them to bed.And this movie is way too short. If they coulda gotten rid of Craig. Things might have been better. Then there was the stupid killing of Sandra. It woulda been worth our while for the two of them to escape off in the plane. Bleh. Thank god the dvd was $4. They were having a sale on Corman films. To bad they didn't have any of Krista Allens Emmanuelle films. :(3/10Quality: 0/10 Entertainment: 5/10 Replayable: 1/10
... View MoreThe male star's vocabulary consisted of "one word" The word that would get 'erased' at least fifty times if we were to think this horrible movie would ever make it to the TV screen for humans to watch.
... View MoreThere is a reason this movie was shelved for, how long? 7 years? This should be the first hint.At any rate, I watched this movie with an open mind. I wanted to like it, and enjoy myself, but there just was not much to it. An Idiot reporter runs around p***ing off the locals and Sandra Bullock meets up with him. I guess there is some environmental activist named santos that meets and unfortunate end, and they are sort of involved. The plot of this movie is so really hard to follow. Maybe because there really is not much of a plot at all. The last 15min are sort of exciting, only because you know it's almost over so you can do something else.Yes, Sandra has a love scene. No it's exciting enough to watch this movie.Ever watched a movie that made you keep looking at the VCR to see how long you had been watching it? That is This Movie!Movie gets a nice big 2 out of 10 from me.
