The Rise and Fall of The Clash (2012)
Really disappointed
...for so many reasons.
The film completely skips over the band's best music, and is really nothing more than an amateur doc on their decline. The same clips and stills are used over and over and over again, and for all the talk about Bernie Rhodes, all we get is a grainy clip of him across the room eating lunch...at least 8 times. Seriously?
The filmmaker clearly had access to just about zero footage.
Apart from the insights of Mick Jones and some later members, there's nothing to see here. At all.
"Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten" is 100X better and more interesting.
The Postman (1997)
Is there anything lower then 1?
Kevin Costner had the dubious distinction of producing the worst film of all time in "Waterworld", but the little scoundrel actually outdid himself with this one. This stands pretty much alone as the most unwatchable film of all time. So unwatchable in fact, that I just had to see it through to the end. The editing is dreadful, as whole scenes turn up in completely the wrong places. The "God Bless America" style of chest beating is absolutely stomach-turning, and just sends the film into one tailspin after another. There is no depth whatsoever to Costner's character, which ironically suits his acting abilities perfectly. I would recommend this film to anyone who craves masochistic forms of film entertainment. It actually is so bad that it's impossible to walk away from.
