House of Wax (2005)
Very jumpy with no 'aftershocks'
The first thing I noticed about this film was the quality of Paris Hilton's acting. She was a much better actress than I predicted, very life-like, late-teen-early-20's acting. Also, I walked into this film and expected it to be just another lame, predictable horror film, but it wasn't all that bad. Okay to be fair some bits were too predictable, but nevertheless it wasn't a 90's/10's horror replica. I think the plot was quite clever too, and there were no 'plot-holes', no contradictions of the film. Though I was disappointed at the end of the film, when the whole house melts. Looked quite silly. Anyway, I give it a 6/7, not a revolutionary film but it was OK.
Cause for Concern (2002)
Just a crude home video
It takes a hell of a lot to offend me, and to be fair Bum Fights didn't offend me as such, I just found it quite sad and low. I was watching it with roughly 5-10 friends, about 4 or 5 of them being girls, who didn't like the film so much, as they are girls. The lads however found it very amusing, the fact that bums (okay, hobo's, homeless people, whatever) are being abused and picked on is an extremely amusing fact to them. Whether or not someone will like this film depends on the viewers character. If the viewers finds amusement in harming people and insulting unknown, random people, indulge in petty crimes and are very immature then this is for them. Otherwise, this 'film' is not worth watching. 1) It is pathetically sad and 2) it is a sorrowing welcome to modern society. Consider the fact that the people involved in the film seem to be roughly in their 20's makes the film more pathetic. Personally, I think this 'film' is in no way funny and is mindless (if you haven't assumed that already). But people do get attracted to this, so if someone finds it funny, so be it.
