"Catwoman" Starring Halle Barry, Benjamin Bratt and Sharon Stone
Directed by Pitof
"Purr"fectly Boring
By Michele Dillon
If this is where the list is going to start, I am not looking forward to the next lot of movies. I have seen Catwoman before and I thought it then and I think it now: one of the worst movies...ever. If not for the horrible script with the ample associations with what the screenwriter assumes to be "catspeak" (example: "what a purrrfect idea" or "whats the matter, cat got your tongue"), then it's for the horrible delivery of those lines by who is supposed to be one of the best actresses in film. Or at least, I thought that is what the "Best Actress" Oscar was that was given to her for Monster's Ball. Halle Berry may be attractive and she may be willing to get naked to show that she has got "talent", but she is no Best Actress in my book. I am not even going to go into detail about Sharon Stone because it is pretty much a given that she has made bad movie decisions since Basic Instinct 2 (which by the way, is also on the Worst of the Worst list). As if having a horrible script and acting isn't enough to ruin a movie, director Pitof was able to contribute more! The act of simply walking in her catsuit couldn't be completed by Berry alone, it had to be manipulated with computer generation making it seem like a video game. I can understand the scenes where she is jumping from building to building but I don't even remember Spiderman's graphics being that bad.
I guess I was just supposed to ignore all these details and pay attention to how great Berry's "berries" looked in a tight leather outfit (sorry for the poorly planned but intentional pun). Or maybe I was supposed to be drooling over Benjamin Bratt in his uniform. Instead, I was more like drooling on my pillow from falling asleep due to lack of entertainment.
