Sinful (2006)
Violent Imagery, But Where's the Plot?
The movie contains lots of violent and disgusting imagery, nudity, but did not have a plot to hold the movie together as a story. Instead, the movie tries to visualize some of the twisted thought processes that might go through a woman's head as she steals another person's baby.
Nobody will enjoy this movie. It is not a story; i.e. a series of events. Whatever it was that the director was attempting to accomplish, he failed to put together a movie that was watchable or understandable.
If the cover is to believed, the movie did win two awards in New Jersey. Not your typical venue for movie awards, and I disagree that it should have received any awards, but I guess that means that some people might have understood what the director wanted to say.
The Perfect Stranger (2005)
Essentially a Sunday School Lesson
The movie is essentially a Sunday School lesson. Not at all what I was expecting (I was expecting a regular movie). The DVD jacket should have been clearer what the movie was about.
An average woman has dinner with Jesus Christ, who explains why Christianity is the one true religion. Explains the defects with other religions (through superficial pokes), and brushes aside contradictions within the Bible with equal superficiality. Jesus explains what is necessary to attain everlasting life, through him.
The acting is not meant to be great, because it is the message that is the purpose of the "film".
Ride or Die (2005)
Worst B-movie in a while
I normally like B-movies, but this one was completely unwatchable. The production quality was terrible and there was so much hissing (from the $10 microphone they used to shoot the move) that anything they were trying to say lost all meaning.
Sometimes B-movies are charming because they are awful, but this doesn't even qualify for that. It was really just more annoying than anything else. We kept waiting for it to get better, but so much was lost because of the poor production quality that I really couldn't follow anything.
Better off with any other movie. Save your $5 and rent something else.
