Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Should be entitled 'Sad and Sacrilegious'
If you're a true Austen fan don't go into this expecting much. Many of the other one and two star reviews adequately enumerate the many grievous offenses this movie makes so I have no need to reiterate them. Suffice it to say the only redeeming qualities of this film are some pretty landscape shots and a pleasing film score. My sister, who is currently reading Pride and Prejudice, says the movie is moving faster than the book but somehow manges to be more boring. If I had to sum it up in one word it would be 'ugh'.
On Pointe (2018)
Worst Movie I've Ever Seen
First off I've never felt compelled to write a review before. This movie was so far beneath the worst movie I had seen up to this point that I felt I must. I am a dancer and dance teacher and the only redeeming quality of this movie was that they used real and beautiful dancers. Acting skills were sacrificed to do so. That might be forgivable. The real torture lay in the script, lackluster characters, poor plot development and appalling audio issues. The music was too loud, too repetitive, and overwhelming and often times drowned out the characters' speaking. Actors were poorly miked and were difficult to hear. Had there been more dancing throughout the movie I might have felt suffering through was somehow worth it but there was very little dancing to be had. I can say this: I will never be quite as critical of all the versions of Step Up because compared to this, they're compelling cinematographic artistry.
