MaestroReviews

Deb and I are artists, painters actually. We go see films as often as once a week. That's right, we go to the theater and sit in a dark room with strangers to see movies. We rarely rent. We like "little" movies, foreign and documentary films. We try to stay away from mainstream and blockbusters whenever possible, but a couple sneak in each year. We seek out the obscure. We try to avoid violent movies, and that really limits our choices, most film makers seem to think violence makes a story interesting.
I try not to give anything away in the reviews, but offer an honest reaction.
We rate them 1~10, 10 being highest.

Prince Avalanche

Deb 0   Me 2

Many movies are based on books and you usually hear people say the book is better. Anything must be better than watching this movie. The trailer was inviting and featured the only half ways interesting scenes from this boring piece of crap. There are only a few story elements and they are vague and undeveloped at best. There could be some sort of story about two people bonding in isolation of their work, but who'd care. There are attempts at some arty scenery shots but they fail too because there is no way to save this thing. It must be hard to make something this bad. Student films are usually convoluted and filled with symbolic imagery that confused and boggles the imagination, but you always leave thinking that they tried.  This movie feels like no one made any valid attempt at any kind of movie making and it just sinks lower and lower and each minute trudges by. Go get a colonoscopy instead.
