Ecstasy (I) (2011)

Don't waste your time

[1/10 · 14 November 2011]

This is probably the first movie I have to give 1 out of 10 stars. It is completely senseless and a waste of time, packed with clichés over and over and has no real plot or a main character to follow. It looks like someone put together all known drug clichés, rolled the dice to start with something and then just added silly cliché after cliché after cliché. If we wouldn't have been three of us to watch it and started making fun out of it after 15 minutes (!!) I would have stopped the DVD not even close to 30 minutes.

And everything what I like or interests me about drug- and electro music films also failed in this one, like music, good clubbing scenes, interesting nightlife characters and so on.

Do your self a favor and don't watch this. You will be very disappointed.

Dazed and Confused (1993)

Actually very boring

[3/10 · 21 September 2005]

I watched this movie recently because I read many times how good and funny it is supposed to be and I'm also a fan of Richard Linklater's work. So I expected a decent "stoner" movie with a good soundtrack and some good jokes. However, all I got was the good soundtrack.

I actually quit watching after 50 minutes as I was too bored of this movie. Sure, there is a good soundtrack and this movie might even carry some of that 1970s feeling (even if it didn't really catch me), but there is just nothing happen! I'm not American so I have no idea about these high school traditions and probably can't really identify with it but anyway, the movie for me was quite boring. So I give it 3 out of 10 cause I still love Linklater and it was funny to see the "Ben-Affleck-thing" with the worst haircut of its career.
