Gene-X (2006)
Possibly the worst movie ever.
Gene X is a fast paced breakneck ride through turbulant emotional highs and gritty realistic lows, about the conflict we all face in our.....sorry i cant go on.
This is quite possibly the worst movie i have ever seen, and i complain about a lot of movies.The dialogue was stilted, hackneyed and sounds as if it was lifted from an abandoned production of "Apocalypse Now - The musical" circa 1988 ("it smells like the ocean" cue Kramer and his cologne).The soundtrack was too bad to be considered elevator Muzak, and even hard core ravers would be hard pressed to pop enough drugs to make this movie palatable.
I was left with a distinct feeling of unease, realizing that this was the movie i had awaited, that had screened in Cannes and that had several well known Australian "personalities".Finally i thought, a contemporary Australian film to demonstrate our ability to produce truly world class scripts, even if we cannot afford the Hollywood production values.Guess ill just keep waiting.
Having said that, it is worth watching just to see how truly awful it really is, i mean i was really quite amazed the producers didn't have there legs broken by irate investors.Or disgruntled movie fans.
In conclusion, this is a horrible cardboard work that will clash with you're aesthetic sensibilities and quite possibly give you cancer.Which apparently had something to do with the disjointed story the tacked on to keep the scenes appearing "logical".
truly, truly awful, but 2 points for being Australian and for promising not to do a sequel.
Penn & Teller: Bullshit! (2003)
Arrogant, angry and totally refreshing.......
To start with, i shall not give a breakdown of the series, nor show specific points of interest, what i will do however is comment on Penn and Tellers approach on Bullshit.
Abrasive, rude, arrogant, and refreshing.
It is hard for me to believe that many people can still believe in talking to the dead or having psychic surgery despite the complete lack of credible evidence, and yet many do.Everyday.Perhaps even people you know, and so i say tell every one you talk to about this show.
There were several entertaining facts i had not known before, but after years of calling people on there bullshit I've heard most of the stories before, just never as wittily put nor as entertaining to listen too.
So, does the anger that people notice in the show seem justified? i believe it is, as not only myself but many, many people around the world still cannot believe American classes approved ID for school lessons.This is only one small fact in a bucket of B.S that i am intimately familiar with, and i urge any person with even the slightest interest in there world, and the sharks who walk on land, to watch this show.
Truly excellent show, entertaining format and a refreshing change from the blatantly religious or irrelevant shows they usually label "television".
If you like this show, try to watch "The God Who Wasn't There", you will likely be surprised by what you find out.
