about
You're reading a really old version of matt-thornton's website. For example, if you're looking at the movie reviews... you'll notice that none of them are of recent films. Indeed, I leave them here for posterity's sake, but I doubt very much that they'll get updated anytime soon. So have a giggle.
You might, if you're lucky, find something recent from Matt at his blog matt's debates. Kernow bys vyken.
The Forgotten
the one line review:
the what now?
the overview
I fail to see the point of this. Starts of as a potential pschizo thriller and turns into a crappy alien romcom.
the plot:
A grieving mother, Telly Paretta, is struggling to cope with the loss of her 9-year-old son. She is stunned when her psychiatrist and her husband tell her that she has created eight years of memories of a son she never had. But when she meets the father of one of her son's friend who is having the same experience, Telly embarks on a mission to prove her son's existence and her sanity.
the verdict:
Blah. It has real promise at the beginning, but it's tired and dull. It drags on until we find out that the kids were never killed, they were abducted by aliens to do tests on and yawn. Total snorefest, made even worse by the dire Hollywood-ised ending.
