Intermission (2003)
Over-rated Crap
How Irish critics rave about this movie is beyond me. Overacted by the usual band of Irish actors dragged out for every Irish movie. Terrible script, with forced character quirks (the brown sauce). Romanticising all that is bad about Dublin. The attitude of 'ah, it's a dump but sure isnt it great all the same'. Plenty of tidbits purely for American audiences (the supermarket boss and his horribly forced catchphrase). And the nail in the coffin was Colm Meaney's character. A great actor forced to play this part that could've been written by a five year old. Cringeworthy stuff. The best thing about this movie is Farrell, and it's a bad when you have to say that. Well, at least he wasnt putting on his dreadful American accent. International Audiences be warned: stay at home and watch Snatch and Lock Stock. You'll have a better time. Intermission is a walk-outer
Panic in the Skies! (1996)
dear oh dear oh dear!
This without a doubt is the worst film I've ever seen. Now it's possible that it seems ridiculous to me just because I know a fair bit about aeroplanes but c'mon...how many people are going to believe that you can walk up the cockpit and plug in your laptop to control the plane! and that touching the sparking wire will make the plane fly to a different airport. This air disaster movie had not one, but all of the classics on board....newly married couple, pregnant woman, small child alone, film star, old couple... Not only is it the worst film ever, it also contains the single worst scene ever, where a passenger on board asks the 'film star' to come up with a last minute idea like he does in the movies, to which he replies 'Thats the movies, THIS IS REAL LIFE!) Shocking stuff. This is one that aircrews will love to laugh at, otherwise, forget it.
