I just couldn't finish...
(I suppose this contradicts the title a bit ... but I needed to get my first post in sooner or later.)
The following are three films I attempted to watch yesterday and ended up turning off, or leaving before they were finished.
1. Bram Stoker's Dracula - I should have known better. Really. The only reason I even attempted to watch this horrible film is because my beloved Tom Waits plays Renfield. While what I saw of his role was at least good acting the rest of the film was terribly over done...
2. Gummo - I really tried with this one. Honest. It reminded me of George Washington (with little bits of Roger and Me and Tarnation) only totally hopeless... while I guess that's the point, I simply can't view life as such. And while I love experimental cinema, the plot line seemed obsolete. Sorry Gummo, I guess I'm too upbeat for your sorrow?
3. High Tension - I like my horror films subtle and set far from home. This one was neither (in addition to being horribly dubbed.)
