Skeeter
THE STORY: OW! This movie was hard to watch. It was too long...by 60 minutes!
In a nutshell, Ruthless developer Drake is buying up land in the desert town of Clear Sky. He's also dumping waste which turns mosquitoes into giant mosquitoes. They kill, well, no one important. Add in Deputy Boone, his partner Hank Tucker, a love interest, Sarah, and a few other unimportant characters and you have a rather boring, long, drawn out film. This movie was padded to death. The only cool character was Hank Tucker and he didn't get to do much. The mosquitoes don' kill anyone that you'll care about and in the end Boone blows up their nesting ground with conveniently placed explosives. Ugh.
This movie really sucked.
BEST LINES: "I understand thats why nothin' gets done!"- Boone to Sherriff Buckle when Buckle asks if he understands that nothing gets done without his approval.
"I'd say this is pretty convincing evidence."- Deputy Tucker when he finds a dead giant mosquito.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?:
1.) Well how do we know that Boone is the bad-ass hero-cop of this movie? Because when we first see him he's at his cool ass home in the middle of the desert welding metal sculptures. He then hops onto his black motorcycle with his shirt open and no helmet and rides to work at the police station wearing dark glasses. Sherriff Buckle complains that he's breaking the helmet law and Boone comlpins that its a stupid law. so he's a rebel but yet a police officer! He can sculpt so he's artistic! We know he's a tough guy because he takes every opportunity to be bare chested! Add to that Boone has a partner thats a native american and we can safely assume he's the hero.
2.) What does Sarah do for a living that she can just spend all day riding horses while she stays with her father?
3.) I hope this movie was made before 1990 because Boone has some pretty serious 80's hair....all big and poofy.
4.) Do women in the west have such low self esteem that you can lock them in trunk of a car and they still want to make love to you? I'm movin' out west May-Bell!
5.) I know it hasn't been 8 hours but this movie makes it seem that way! Please Skeeters , kill someone or die but end this movie!
6.) Tucker shoots a skeeter on the floor with a rifle...the skeeter is blown apart but the rug is unscathed....if only I know what they used on their rugs! I could get those spaghetti stains out!
7.) Okay---so abandoned mines contain dynamite and still have electricity available for use by anyone who breaks into them. Right.
8. The skeeters ignore Gordon and Sarah and go straight for Sherrif Buckle? I guess they like only 'bad blood'.
NUDITY AND SEX: A sex scene with Boone and Sarah really shows nothing.
HUH?: Wouldn't being bitten by a 7 inch mosquito be really painful? The one crazy guy (I don't know his name) didn't think so when he puposely fed the mosquito.
I don't blame Clay for being upset about Gordon doing tests on his land without permission...its not like Boone or Gordon couldn't have just asked him first!
Knowing his superiors are crooked why didn't Gordon just fax, email and call every government ageny in the blue pages and expose them...I don't get it...thats why Gordon's superior threatening him was ludicrous...it would take very little for Gordon to expose them...with giant mosquitoes and all.
For the luvva Pete! Boone watched Drake's men get into position before even thinking about seeking cover. He's one lucky, dumb son of a bitch!
THE TALLY: This move was way too long. I think it must have been made for TV but I'm not sure. Tracy Griffith is a good lookin' lady but she couldn't save this film. It was basically a whole lot of nothin'.
