A Note...

... to our loyal readers.

Guy is in Sweden, currently, and Girl is in Canada. No, we did not split up, as one of you has commented, but we do come from different sides of the world and this tends to happen when you are stupid enough to get involved in a long distance relationship.

So! To those of you who are expecting this website to be kept up to date on a regular basis (even after the fact that this has never happened so far), you will be disappointed.

But! We will try to watch the same movies, and we will try to write reviews about them at some point, then try to post those reviews on a semi-timely basis... maybe.

Some of you may call this a stilted promise, but we just call it reality. Unlike Lindsay Lohan, we have our feet planted firmly in it.

THE FOURTH KIND


Girl's bogus review...

This movie was really inspiring. It inspired me to tidy the house, clean the bathroom, have a shower, do my hair, read a book, catch up on sleep... Do anything but actually watch the pain-inducing movie. Hence why I said "bogus review" - I can't really say with all honesty I watched the movie.

I think we knew, right from the start, when Mila whatever-her-name-is approaches the camera and states that these were "true events", but what you believe is "up to you", and that some images are "disturbing". Both contradictory and annoying, this statement took this movie in the wrong direction right away. Good job there.

The rest of the movie was a write off. The dramatizations could have been tossed for all I cared about them. In this thinker's opinion, the real footage wasn't believable. The only interesting part of the movie, was the lovely chats between the director and this woman, Dr. Abegail Tyler. She seemed quite loopy, and thus, entertaining. There's nothing quite like watching a human being who has lost their marbles somewhere, preferably in an imagined alien abduction scenario.

Girl's Rating: Absolutely unpleasant, but my dishes thank you.

Guy's whatever...

I wish little green men would come and abduct Olatunde Osunsanmi (yes, that is his real name. I think he's going for the whole Shyamalan thing). He has a couple of things that remind me of M. Night, a director I dislike by the way. Olatunde put himself in this movie, so does M. Night in his. That was probably it, and the name thing. Yet, there was no twist in this movie whatsoever.

So what is the movie about. A bunch of people get abducted in Nome, Alaska. Milla "Multipass" Jovovich plays a mother, widow and a psychiatrist that specialize in the people that claim being abducted by aliens. All of this makes this movie more horrible.

The movie is divided up in two parts. The acted out part and the "real" part. The "real" part is so badly acted and poorly produced (for authenticity I suppose). It added nothing to the film and if you get fooled and you actually think you're watching the real deal then you should be taken out back and beaten. This will help you in the long run. You'll never be tricked again, which will help you to avoid getting into strangers' cars, drinking out of bottles underneath the sink and licking the light sockets in the house.

Guy's Rating: No! Bad! No!
