The assignment:
Review a bad movie, using footage from it and other films. Tear it apart. Show us everything that’s wrong with it.
When I looked at the visual assignments in the beginning I knew I wanted to use the movie Kazaam. What could be better than a movie that stars and is directed by basketball great Shaquille O’Neal.
If you don’t know who Shaq is he is a 7 1 center who played in the NBA for 19 years. In addition to his basketball career, O’Neal has released four rap albums, with his first, Shaq Diesel, going platinum. He has appeared in numerous films and has starred in his own reality shows, Shaq’s Big Challenge and Shaq Vs. Shaq can’t even act his way through a 30 second commercial for Nestle Crunch or Burger King.
Just to give you a basic background this is the IMDB description:
“Being a lone young boy in the ‘hood” is dangerous and unpleasant. This is what Max (Francis Capra) experiences when he fools a gang of local toughs who cornered him at school. The gang finds out that the key he gave them is of no value in committing a robbery, and they chase him through the streets of his neighborhood, bent on revenge. He tries to escape by slipping into the open door of an old warehouse, but they follow him there, too. While running from them through aisles filled with all kinds of stuff, he bumps into an old boom box. By doing that, he manages to release Kazaam (basketball great Shaquille O’Neal), a genie who has been held captive for thousands of years. In order to stay free, Kazaam must give Max three wishes.”
Lets take a look:
Now this project took for-eve-r. Seriously do you know how hard it is to find the exact clips you want for a full movie. It would have been easier if I could have found a DVD ripping of it, but instead no I had to watch ten different time sections off of it from youtube. From there it was just doing research on the movie using websites such as IMDB and wikipedia. I hope I get five stars for this project just because it took over four hours to actually complete it. It takes soo long to download everything and than the cutting and editing is just more time.
