The Tenth Circle (2008)
Exactly Like Every Other Lifetime Movie Ever Made
I first read The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult a few years ago and really enjoyed it and have since read it several more times. It is a very good story with really interesting twists and very fascinating and complex characters. I was a more than a little disappointed to discover that they were making it into a Lifetime TV movie.
And just like I expected, despite the good story that certainly has the potential to be a solid movie, it was transformed into a cheesy and poorly acted Lifetime flick. As you watch, you feel indifferent towards the characters and bored with the clichéd plot. Amazing how this great book could be turned into yet another run-of-the-mill Lifetime movie with the same worn storyline and boring characters.
Bubble (2005)
Worst. Movie. Ever.
While I wasn't expecting much from this film, I thought I might enjoy it a little bit just because I grew up in the area. WRONG. The acting is TERRIBLE. Half of the movie consists of the actors in awkward silence and when they finally do speak, they mumble so quietly you can't even hear them even with the sound turned all the way up. The "plot" is ridiculous...you know exactly what is going to happen about ten minutes into the movie. There are entire scenes in the movie that are completely irrelevant to anything. And I still have no idea why the name of the movie is "Bubble." It is not even the kind of bad movie you just laugh at the whole time because it is so stupid......it's the kind of bad movie that is so awful that it annoys you. Waste of time....definitely don't watch.
