  • A Plague of Clichés

    While I had no real expectations going into this movie, I have to admit it lost me pretty early on. The early scenes of her debunking a miracle in some Central American country were a mish mash of jarring jump cuts and badly lit shots that. With an opening like that you have to wonder how they're going to handle scenes of supposedly real tension later in the movie.

    Despite misgivings I stayed watching because there were some genuinely interesting ideas. Unfortunately none of them ever eventuate to anything as the movie lurches from one jump cut dream sequence to another.

    The movie, which opens with the devil's symbol burning itself across a series of photographs, then becomes annoyingly coy about the supernatural element. Can it be explained away by modern science? Are the dream sequences real or is poor Hilary becoming unhinged?

    The cast are never given much to work with and even the lead characters remain two dimensional at best. The movie meanders on, and in a workmanlike way starts hitting the points of satanic conspiracy (A gold star to anyone who guesses what happens to the black guy) before bumbling to a special effects heavy, but plot light, denouement that seems like it's glommed from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

    This is followed by a last minute twist so risible you wonder why they even bothered.

    Here's a big hint guys, jump cuts, rapid editing and light saturated screen effects DO NOT disguise what is essentially a very dull movie. Avoid like the 10 plagues of Egypt.

  • Excel's ADD Little Sister.

    This show was always intended to be Excel Saga on red cordial and sugar bombs. It makes use of a lead actress who talks so high and fast she can induce tinnitus and scare animals. There's no real plot as such, just the join the dots default of 'moei' cute girl series cut up and thrown at the screen. The send ups are of all the conventions and dodgy sexual allusions found in the genre (such as one of the characters continually complaining about the size of her breasts) but no joke stays past it's welcome. In fact they fly by so fast you need to watch it a few times before you're going to get even half of them. Though a warning, there is a lot of 'adult' content, but it's main impact is absurd not lewd .
