One of the worst movies


The Blair with project was a low quality production. The way the camera moved around constantly made me feel like I was going to be sick. The acting was horrible. The theme of the movie was not so good either. I'm not sure if it was based on a true story or not, but if it was it the producer should have picked a different story to follow.


The previews for The Blair Witch Project were actually pretty intense. I expected the movie to be one that would keep a person at the edge of their seat. When I saw the movie the acting alone took the thrill out. The story was weak and it was not as scary as the previews made it out to be. I went into the movie excited and came out wanting to break it and take it off the shelves.


I got the movie when it was a new release. It was like six dollars or something to rent the DVD. I literally wanted to take it out the first 15 minutes, but tortured myself to get through an hour of it. It was a waste of my hour and a waste of my 6 dollars. I would never spend the money to see that movie and I would advise everyone else to make that same decision.


The movie could have been better if they would have put a little bit of money to it. The acting was horrible. You don't need Grammy winning actors, but at least have someone who has natural talent or knows what they are doing. The story line just kind of seemed to start off slow and get even stupider as it went. They could have spent a little more money on graphics and backgrounds or something. The worst part about it was how it was shot. If I remember correctly the movie was suppose to be shot as if the people camping or whatever were taping it. Well, that was a stupid idea because that was thew worst part of the entire movie. I might have been able to push myself through the movie if I wasn't busy getting sick from all the spinning.

SPACEBALLS


On of my favorite movies is Spaceballs It doesn't neccisarily have my favorite actors or actresses in it but the odd humor in the movie makes me laugh. A few of the big names in the movie are Mel Brooks, John Candy,Rick Moranis, and Bill Pullman. The movie takes place in space and many strange planets. In the movie Dark Helmet attempts to steal air from another planet. It is up to a clueless rogue, a princess, and a half man half dog creature to save planet Druidia.
The movie is a mix of humor and suspense. It contiuously keeps you at the edge of your seat wondering if something extremely strange is going to pop out of someones stomach or if another strange character like pizza face or the bearded lady is going to come into play. It mixes dumb humor and things that are actually funny in a genius blend of comedy. They use extremely odd and outrageous names for everyone.
The main hook is making fun of science fiction movies. Spaceballs really takes a poke at Star Wars. One of the main characters is the Dark Helmet, which clearly makes fun of Darth Vader. The Druid princess is meant to be Princess Laya. They make a crack at her by showing her in the famous braids around the ears, but they soon come off and you realize that they are headphones. I could go into detail more on how, however i'm not a Star Wars fan and have never seen a single episode.
There are so many funny parts of this movie but my favorite would have to be when the evil powers are trying to watch the movie to find out what is going to happen next. They get to the part of actual time and get all confused. It is a part in which is hard to understand unless you actually see it. This movie is for people with a strange and pretty much stupid sense of humor, which is exactly what I love about it.
