Ouch!

It has been a long time since I watched a 'lousy' movie. I have watched weird ones, cheesy ones, low-budget ones, way-too-long-for-its-own-good ones - but a categorically lousy one? Rarely.

What do I classify as a lousy movie? Very simply:

  • Before the intro is over, you already have a nagging feeling that they cast the wrong lead
  • They try to add in a foreign language to be 'cool' but it wasn't cool - it was unnecessary and badly spoken.
  • They play on artistic cinematography and scenic backdrop to suit the artsy theme but they forgot to cut out the lame bits such as acting cute and falling fake limbs
  • You cover your eyes at parts - not because it was scary but it was simply too painful to watch the overacting
  • You started thinking of better things you could have spent the $8 movie ticket on
  • You checked and replied all sms-es sent to you during the two hours
  • You walk out of the cinema with a backache (from overfidgetting in your seat) and neckache (from swinging your head to look at your mate in disbelief during scenes)

Last but not least:

  • You tried your darnest best but you just cannot be convinced that the lead actress, who has a cartoon face with an underaged body, is a hot lusty webcam whore.

But please don't take my word for it. Go catch Spider Lilies and judge for yourself.
