Radio Free Albemuth (2010)
Paranoid ramblings in a boring unrealistic film.
This movie is like the love child of Scientology and the Left Behind novels. PKD was slowly losing his mind when he wrote this story and analogizes his experience of VALIS sending bizarre messages into his brain via a pink beam. The story is weak and uncompelling unlike his brilliant works of the past. The movies is about other dimensional beings trying to start a revolution by sending messages into the mind of a record producer so that he could put vague lyrics into one song of one band's album. Yeah, real Rebel Alliance stuff here. Why didn't VALIS just send the signal into everyone's mind and start a war? Who knows? The film sure didn't cover that subject. Anyway, the movie itself is poorly directed but the bad story just kills it.
Now You See Me (2013)
So so bad
I can't believe people gave this movie a higher than mediocre rating and it really mystifies me that they made a sequel to this piece of dog doo. The direction is terrible, the acting is terrible, the entire plot is hinky and doesn't make a lot of sense, the dialog felt artificial, and every plot development was predictable except for the big reveal which felt like a last minute decision and could have applied to anyone in the story. Added to that, I was often bored to tears during the magic shows scenes which went on and on needlessly. The special effects were okay but since the invention of CGI, I don't particularly think the effects in the film were all that impressive. If you enjoy good film this is definitely not for you. But if you like simple films that you doesn't make you think, then you my love it.
