Movie Reviews and Ideas
Welcome to HollywoodClosers.com. This site is our mouthpiece to the world on the current state of the film industry and how all of the weak movies that are being made could have been done better. Take a look at some of our movie reviews and suggestions and let us know what you think about our ideas and feel free to give us some of your ideas as well. Who are the Hollywood Closers? We are Adam and Jody White, two brothers that love movies and have a vested interest in the movie industry. We want to see film studios take the time to make movies the right way. The details of a movie make all the difference and too many films that are released lack just a few details in the story that would take it from an OK movie to a great film. We give you our take on how these movies could have been better.
City of Ember - City of Garbage
November 6th, 2008 | 2008 Releases
I am really getting tired of movies based on best selling books. Hey Hollywood, just because Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings have done so well, doesn’t mean every book in the world should be made into a movie.
I took my kids to see City of Ember and I really have to say that I almost fell asleep from boredom. The story moved along so slowly which makes no sense because they had to take a big book and make a 120 minute movie. If anything the story should have moved too fast.
The main villian in the movie (Bill Murray’s character) wasn’t even a real villian. He wasn’t trying to stop the kids from getting out of Ember. They made it seem like if he caught them they would never escape. Ember was a dump hole. I am pretty sure everyone wanted out of that place.
So the kids find the clues to get out which by the way were some of the most rediculous “clues” I have ever seen, and then find the way out of the city and out to the abandonded surface of the earth. Then instead of helping everyone escape they just drop a rock 5000 feet down the hole in the ground to the city and hope someone sees it and reads the attached note.
The more I write about this story the more I get annoyed by it.
