Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Film of the Week!
This weeks latest film releases under the griller or to use a London expression “under the kosh” giving you an idea of what you could be letting yourself in for. Either 2 hours of absolute viewing bliss or 2 hours of living hell. You pays your money and takes your chances. Hopefully these reviews will help you in not taking chances!
Just a sort of side note and I may not be alone in thinking this, but why are some films so bad verging on awful! Lets look at things a bit more closely. Films can take up to a year to make Check. They costs millions and sometimes hundreds of millions to make. Check. You’ve got actors drafted in that you assume can act, directors that can direct, producers that can produce, script writers that can errr write and not to mention the technical boys involved with filming, CGI, lighting and the rest. Check . Some of these films are shot in the most beautiful places on this planet and ship in sometimes thousands of extras and have enough film making brain power to provide lighting for a small nation. Check.
So why why why oh why after all this, all these people, expertise, skills, locations, time span and the rest , do some of these filmsstill end up not much better than that home video of your mates larking around down the local Spotted Cow Pub on a Friday night. You know the ones.(or maybe you don’t)………….. blurred, out of focus and the mobile is dropped on the floor 5 times during shooting, terrorising the local female population who’ve also had a few, and then your mobile ends up inside your trousers or down some girls cleavage as the finale! If anybody can answer this question why a Hollywood film can be worse than this I would be eternallybe grateful as I have personally seen films that are much worse than these home style videos.
Do you know what really peeves me, I’ve paid good money to watch these films. At least with those home vids you’ve enjoyed yourself and had a laugh FOR FREE! The only good thing I can say about professional bad films is YES the actors are better looking and YES the film is in focus and YES the camera hasn’t been dropped on the floor. Those credentials don’t exactly make for a very exciting film poster though, do they.
To summarise, I for the life of me can’t see why it takes 1 year, an army of people and say S10M or more to make an awful film.Forget all that though , WHY go through all that trouble in the first place is my argument if the end result is total garbage? Can’t they see the end result? Maybe I’m missing something here?
Back to this weeks films and we have some absolute belters
