Kiss Me Deadly

It is good that we got to see a B-movie in art of film. I know reading bad books in literature class was not as fun, but I enjoyed the things that made this movie medeocre. It was not boring just poorly done in some places as well as cheesy. The detective's name is a good start. "Mike Hammer" is almost as cheesey as that world poker tour guy who goes by Chris Moneymaker. In the scene that takes place at the gym, the Hammer and some other guy are looking at a boxer, but am I the only one who noticed that the eyes of the two people did not go to the same place? How hard would it have been for the director to say, "you two are both going to be looking at the boxer in this shot, so both of you should look at that object." The characters were over the top like Mr. Vavavoom. I think his name was Nick. None of these things in the movie made it boring which is the most important thing in a movie. The second most important thing in a movie is to make it not be annoying to the audience. That SNL sketch with that girl screaming "RICK!! RICK!!" every damn second fails the most abysmaly at this goal. Kiss Me Deadly was successful until the very end when this loud shreaking sound started to dominate the scene. By this point though there was not much left in the movie and the audience was on the edge of their seats plugging their ears.
