Double Disasters


Wow, the new "Vacation" movie staring Ed Helms and Christina Applegate is in the running for one of the worst films ever made, it's a comedy and it's not at all funny.

This movies attempt at humor was less successful then Army officer, George Armstrong Custer's last stand at The Battle of The Little Big Horn in 1876. It's failed plea for humor was less gratifying then drinking a cup of hot water with three cups of salt and less entertaining then emptying out a dirty vacuum bag.



Retarded monkeys on acid could have written a better script. I didn't even smile once in "Vacation" which was spawned to DVD on Tuesday, the 3rd.

The new "Vacation" flick did absolutely no justice for the original "Vacation" from the 80s.  In the new disaster, the character Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) is a grown married man with two sons and sets fourth to drive his family 2000 miles to the fictional Walley World. Not a single scene in this lame movie was remotely entertaining or funny.

"Brothers of War," a World War II saga was another flop. This 2014 movie was given to the U.S. on DVD also on the 3rd of this month. A hapless and pointless drama about two brothers whose minds are completely skewed and thrust into a drama that had the excitement of dead flies on a window seal, and was as entertaining as AM radio in the middle of Montana.  



I'm not sure if "Brothers of War" was a biblical metaphor for the brothers Cain and Abel or if  film maker Mike Carter was trying to justify the need to commit suicide, which may have been better than watching this movie. The story-line was all over the place with a confusing theme. This is a another no star movie.
