Last weekend I saw quite possibly the worst movie I have everseen. The movie in question is called "Friends with money." You would think with the caliber of actors and actress' that this movie would be at least decent. The story revovles around Jennifer Aniston's character. All her friends are rich and have it all and she is a lowly maid (who smokes pot, no less).
I hated this movie for a ton of reasons. The directing was lacking in every sense of the word, the acting could be compared to a fifth grade play, the writing was horendous, and the story should have never been made into a movie. I know it is an indie flick and it shows in more ways then one. One of the biggest reasons I go, and I hope I am speaking for the majority, to see any movie is to be entertained and taken out of real life and put into the world of the movie. This movie failed to do just that. Why go see a movie about other peoples problems that only a handful of people would possibly understand.
Enough about that terrible movie, there is a bigger fish to fry. I saw "Mission Impossible: III" and was terribly dissappointed. The action secuences were okay but the acting was to rushed. Tom's character, Ethan Hunt, is retired to teaching agents instead of being one. The only agent he has trained is captured so he tries to save her but fails and is so guilt ridden that he puts his new life in jeopardy.
Now the plot is pretty hookie. Tom has seen better days as far as acting goes. He is just to happy in this movie. What you are about to here is a spoiler so skip to the end of this little rant if you still want to see this dull movie. At one point in the movie Ethan gets small explosive device inserted up his nose and into his brain. To prevent the bomb from exploding and killing him he electricutes himself essentally killing himself. His wife in the movie just so happens to be a nurse so in the attempted revival, we see a huge smile on Tom's face. He is supposed to be dead but is smiling. Not very good at the acting in that scene.
His wife is pretty dim witted as well. She doesn't seem to understand how come her husband knows about guns and how to kill people with his bare hands. Or for that matter why she was kidnapped. Then when he tells her she doesn't even believe him.
MI: III is a pass. Rent it later for a heck of a lot cheaper.
Friends with Money is a pass all the way around and should be burned. How this movie made over seven million dollars is proof that Satan does exist and pacts with him work for short periods of time.
