100 Million BC (2008)
Total crap is actually being VERY kind to this film
None of the characters have any depth of believability. The acting is beyond horrible. Even a seasoned TV star like Micheal Gross didn't even try. The "special effects" (I'm putting that in quotes for a reason) is less realistic than junk I've seen teenage kids on YouTube come up with. I'm just glad it was a free rental with coupon but its going to suck having to go back out in the cold to return it...because seriously, this is so bad that if I bought it retail, I would just throw it out. I'm supposed to write 10 lines, but how on earth can I keep going? Okay, so supposedly this modern day team of elite Navy Seals go down in minutes compared to a team of scientists from 59 years earlier. Modern day weapons do absolutely nothing to dinosaurs, yet bows and arrows drop the beasts in a single hit. Just pure idiocy.
Broken (2006)
Fun for psychology majors!
DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS This movie was interesting from several viewpoints. First, it shows how social conditioning or conforming to the social norms can be detrimental to your survival. The main character, Hope, had a chance to get away and because of her inability to kill her captor she ends up getting recaptured and tortured some more. The school girl or whatever she was is a complete idiot that screams for several days straight. A feat that is probably impossible to do without losing your voice. There were several things that just didn't make sense. Like if you are in the middle of the woods and you are leaving in a direction, keeping in mind a circle is 360 degrees, what are the chances you would walk straight into a little shack containing your kid? Why would both girl's, given their chance to escape only attempt to injure the captor considering he tortured them in very inhuman ways, why wouldn't they kill him? Why didn't the daughter warn the mother? How did the wounds NOT get infected considering all the dirt, grit, and germs that would have easily gotten into the system? Meh...it was at least entertaining.
