College (2008)
Miserable
Let me begin by saying this. I am taking time out of my day to sit here and write about how awful this movie is. Rarely do I ever write a review on here. I only do so if I really like a movie, or can't stand a movie so bad that I think others should be warned about going to pay to see it. All told, I've written probably four reviews. This is hands down the worst movie I've seen in the last five years. Sadly, I thought the previews made it look alright. Seeing as how I'm 23 and recently graduated from college, I also thought that this movie could bring back some nostalgia from my recently deceased college years. Me and three ex-fraternity brothers from school went to catch this movie with hopes that it would at least provide us some decent laughs before going out. We were dead wrong. Not only is this a blatant rip off of Superbad, Accepted, The Girl Next Door etc., it also is host to three of the most annoying main characters in the history of film. The jokes suck, the situations are beyond dumb, and the portrait it paints of college is completely wrong. In order to hang out with frat guys you have to take shots of tequilla from a dude's a$$ crack? Really? Don't remember seeing that in my college days. Annoying fat kids hooking up with hot blondes? Yeah, no, don't recall that either. College kids even caring that high schoolers were at their parties? Not the case. Where I went to school they were introduced and greeted with a beer. No one f**king cared if they were there. I could go on forever, but the bottom line is save your time and money. Go rewatch Superbad or Dazed and Confused or something. Or better yet, save your 10 bucks, get a 12 pack of shi**y beer, get drunk, and let the night unfold. There's a more realistic college experience for you.
Vantage Point (2008)
Possibly the worst movie I've seen in the last two years
Completely miserable. Don't go see this movie. Completely implausible. Portrays Spaniards as completely anti- U.S. (They aren't, I lived in the city this takes place in.) Is filmed in Mexico city, which doesn't even come close to resembling Spain. All the Spanish is spoken in Mexican- Spanish, not true to the actual dialect. Had several lines that left the audience I saw it with laughing hysterically...except they were meant to be serious lines. Also, don't even get me started with the rewinding of the vantage points...I thought a riot might break out in the theater around the fourth or fifth time. I won't even warrant its existence with any more commentary.
