Dead Man Down: A Story of... Killing People, Mostly.

Dead Man Down (2013)
Starring Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Terrence Howard

I looked up what this movie was about on several sites. Each one has a different story line. That's because they didn't really pinpoint where in the hell they were going with this. Until the end. I didn't purposely pick this as a bad movie to watch. I love Colin Farrell, so I really did think I was picking a winner. I was wrong.

Hot guy that spends quite a bit of time just gazing at people and works for some gang. Guns. Shooting. People die. Meets a girl who wants him to kill the guy that caused her accident and screwed up her face. More shooting. More dying. He's avenging his family who was killed. They kiss on a train. The End.

Needless to say, this was very disappointing. It was so erratic but not in way that keeps you glued to the screen. Not many people are like me. If it's an hour into the movie and they still have no clue what's happening or why, they're going to move on. I, being the moron I am however, stick around to the end to see if it does eventually make sense. It wrapped up the whole thing, but my God it was far too long for that.

for smart casting to get me to watch it at all.

Lifetime & Hallmark Movies: IT'S STILL ON?!

Lifetime (1984-Current) & Hallmark (2001-Current)

I know I've dedicated a page to review each horrible movie I watch. However, these channels have been playing the same movie since their creations. Lifetime since 1984 making it a record breaking 29 year and counting movie and Hallmark since a complete remodel of the channel in 2001 to whatever current date you happen to be reading this.

Here we go: Someone is sad, depressed, happy, excited, lost, found, orphaned, dead and is looking or not looking for something or someone who also happens to be sad, depressed, happy, excited, lost, found, orphaned, dead who is looking or not looking for something or someone who also happens to be sa- you get that picture, I'm sure.

Over-acting, horrible acting, someone not even trying to act and succeeding at it, talks and talks and talks. Feelings. *WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT* Talking. Cheesiness. More talking. *WHO ACTUALLY TALKS THIS MUCH ABOUT NOTHING* More feelings. *DAMN YOU* Seasons change. Christmas tree. Dramatic music. Talking. *I'M IN HELL* A kiss. Fake tears. The end. *THANK GOD* ..or is it? *SON OF A BITCH*

cause, well, I don't think I need to explain.
