Extreme OOPS
By Michele Dillon
Yeah, I know, pretty much a 2 year old could have come up with that headline but hey…that’s what watching these movies causes me to resort too. Don’t be surprised if you see a lot of that throughout this review.
I was EXTREMEly disappointed in how bad this film actually was. First off, the foundation of the movie is based on a story of snowboarders and skiers who agree to get filmed coming down a hill while being chased by an actual avalanche (for some kind of EXTREME sports movie that a director is making). But then the movie turns into one that is about murder and “suspense”…out of nowhere…like where the hell did that come from? And it didn’t even make logical sense. Some crazy mob guy sees one of the skiers filming a guy making out with this girl when the guy is actually supposed to be dead. He did some kind of “fake your own death” thing so a pending trial would get dismissed. But instead of the mob guy just trying to go in and steal the video tape (which would have been pretty easy to do), he goes in and holds a gun to the boy’s head and demands the video tape and the boy didn’t even know that what he was filming was suspicious in the first place! But now he knows that something fishy is going on so he brings everyone else into it. How stupid can you get? My number one biggest pet peeve is when a movie gets made and all the characters are made into these illogical dumb dumbs because the filmmaker/screenwriter thinks that is the only way we will believe that this plot could have happened. In reality, they could have pulled it off making them smart characters AND the movie would have been way better if they did it that way. Anyway, I guess that I can’t really be too critical because I haven’t even made ONE movie and at least Christian Duguay can say he has…even though it sucked balls and I wish I never saw it.
