One Missed Call

I went to see One Missed Call the other day, so I thought a review would be in order. First one! Yay! So…

Oh man, where to start.

*breaks out thesaurus*

The second worst film I’ve seen this year.

A hackneyed, laughable, shambling mess of a film. Doesn’t so much borrow from Ringu-type films as rape, pillage and fire to the place on the way out. The characters less than one dimensional, the plot elements stilted, the ending so ludicrous it makes you despair.

…

You know what, I can’t even be bothered to waste any energy reviewing this film. I just can’t articulate my digust well enough.

Ok, how about this instead: Punjabi Fury’s film/filmmaker ratings™ out of 10, 10 being the highest.

WARNING! The following are my personal opinions. So just as a disclaimer…

Hehe, I made that in about a second. I made it once, saved it, uploaded and everything, then realised it said “falme.” Aggravation. Anyway…

10 - Some Scorcese. Kubrick. Hitchcock. See, you know they’re good because they’ve earned the right to be referred to by their last names.I’m not just flow-going with, I genuinely think they’re good directors.

-Raging Bull/Taxi Driver? Good.

-2001/Dr Strangelove? Good.

-North by Northwest/Vertigo/Psycho? Good.

See? I also have a soft spot for Edgar Wright. Shaun of the Dead gets 11/10.

Ah, ok back on track:

9 - Sam Raimi (Evil Dead days), The Coen Brothers.

8 - Gus Van Sant, Lasse Hallström.

7 - David Fincher, Luc Besson (I don’t count The Fifth Element).

6 - Quentin Tarantino

5 - The Wachowski Brothers, apart from the first Matrix.

4 - Steven Spielberg. YES I SAID IT.

3 - Michael Bay.

2 - The guys that made Scary Movie.

1 - Uwe Boll.

0 - Whoever made One Missed Call, I don’t even want to know.

That sums it up nicely.

Oh and:

She dies, obviously. And thank God.

And by the way, the worst film I’ve seen this month is 10,000 BC.

Don’t even get me started.
