Come Back To Me

Has anybody seen the Step Up trailer on TV Mobile?

I take the bus at least twice a day, and they're more than ordinary bus rides. These mostly mundane trips last more than half an hour long, on average. I'm fond of "Front" and "Diva on a Dime" but...but...BUT! I repeat, has anybody seen the Step Up trailer? Honestly, I've never seen a more obnoxious trailer before. If I remember correctly, it describes the movie as a "once every ten years" kinda film, a film which speaks "for the voice of a generation". I also think I heard "the most fun film", but maybe that's my imagination fuelling the dung coming out of the TV.

"Once every ten years"...you know how many films are made in a year? Alot. Just imagine ten years worth of films, and what comes out on top? According to the trailer, a film about dancing with Channing Tatum as the only recognisable name (that's not because his a good actor either, his name just sticks out) is the foremost film. Hey Mr. Crap Trailer, are you saying that you're film's better than Mat Tricks, Starr Worhx, Lord of the Singhs etc?

Heh.

I wouldn't mind if they quoted actual reviews. But no, they didn't, so all these crap are un-credible; the level of crap is incredible, too. Here's what the critics say:

Step Up plods along as if feeding coins into a cliché meter.

When Step Up reaches beyond the dance floor... the movie fatally stumbles and never regains its footing.

Tatum and Dewan have no chemistry while dancing or making out (not to mention whenever they're unfortunate enough to have to speak).

Step Up may sizzle on the dance floor, but when the dancing stops, the film fizzles.

There are more positive feedbacks; but majority offered the above sentiments. "The dancing is a step up; everything else is a step in the wrong-est direction possible".

Don't watch it. I haven't watched it myself, but THAT trailer pretty much summed up the film. It's bad. Bad in italics, badder in bold, and baddest in hyperlink. It's a generic, cliched "redemption" film, but it tries, PRIDES itself of being so much more. It doesn't deliver. Watch Casino Royale instead. James Bond gets spanked. I don't lie.

Casino Royale: The Revival of the Dying Franchise. Just like Yu-Gi-Oh. Only with nicer cars.


That's my first post, post O-levels. I'm starting to have fun now. There's the drama camp tomorrow, and that's a definite 1-up. There's also clubbing at Momo on Tuesday, with Alex and the guys.

I'll post another later.
