White Noise (2005)
January 16th, 2005
I went with Rob to watch this flick in Leceister Square, been years since I’ve been to the cinema, and what a waste of time it was. It was clear from the overall picture that the writer/director had no idea what the plot was about and was poorly blagging their way through it. Michael Keaton did the best he could of a bad job and I still think he is a good actor, although the whole storyline was abysmal.
Basically the film is about an architect (woohooo) whose wife dies and he is desperate to see her again and through white noise through his tv/radio he gets messages from her to help other people. Most of the film include Michael Keaton shouting at his television and flicking video tapes in and out of recorders.
The generic: silence followed by a surprising scream and a screen flash of someone in pain was predictable throughout the film. It was so predictable you wouldn’t struggle too much in believing that the film was directed by a computer. Alas, it wasn’t.
It is a film you would want to watch in a group, throwing popcorn at the screen whenever something annoys you.
