FountainPen A real stinker! Worthless, pointless, useless, horrid. No redeeming features, acting awful, plot stupid, drags on and on, no highlights, just a downright damn waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... waste of time... RUN FROM THIS ONE !!
ja-191-280465 Sara Matthews is a sweet,small town girl from Des Moines,Iowa who moves to LA to attend college. An aspiring fashion designer, she meets a few cool girls, goes partying and even meets a handsome fella, a.k.a. her future boyfriend who happens to be apart of some lame,ass rock band on campus. Things go great, that is until Sara meets her new roommate Rebecca, a wealthy girl with mental problems who quickly become obsessed with her. The two hit it off, until crazy girl Rebecca starts showing signs of... well, you know, CRAZY. After about an hour, Sara finally realizes that Rebecca is a nutcase and eventually moves out. However, obsession turns to murder and the lonely Rebecca will stop at nothing to have Sara all to herself. Of course, all hell breaks loose and the two chicks go at it in the end. The wanna-be, musician boyfriend steps in to save the day and the loony bin Rebecca dies. All is well. Why movies like this are still being made is totally beyond me. Yes the characters are young, pretty, handsome and nice to look at. However, it takes more than a couple of hot, young actors to make a film worth watching. If you can, save yourself the headache and skip this piece of fluff.
Destroyer Wod At some point i was buying pretty much anything i could that either had a hot girl on the cover, looked like a teen comedy or the martial art gender from pawnshop and video club sales. I accumulated a bunch of them and i realized after around 7 months i should watch some of them... lol.Anyway so tonight i watch this movie, its not as bad as some people want to put it, it ain't brilliant either, its just a cheap thriller as some call it, or what i personally prefer to call a Chick Flick surfing on the wave of the Twilight, Beastly and other movies like those.Its definitely not an horror movie, maybe some kind of suspend but even there you feel the movie could had tell more, especially on Rebecca, and at parts it seem slow as hell, but then it seem to be way too fast as in the blink of an eye...So overall another of those numerous movies i got for 3$ that are going back at the pawnshop for 1$ with no regret... Never gonna watch it again... But it was OK for one watch.
erykah8402 whoever in the review pool mention that a 4th grade student wrote this is crazy. It ha a handful of twists to the movie. It was a true thriller in my eyes an yes, I happen to jump a few times. The acting was pretty great. No one seem out of place.However, I now have a new insight on people with mental issues. I mean you never know who is battling this n' the movie zeros in on this. schizophrenia is serious n' I think that's what makes this movie interesting because people battling this can POSSIBLY act like Rebecca.I love Sara's love interest in the movie because its as if he saves the moment. I fin myself looking for him in some scenes to come save Sara. Strange, I know.Overall, I the movie has a big fair shot of tagging along with the other thrillers out there, in my opinion. Maybe I must see other thrillers to have a non interest in this film, but until then, I like the movie!
