Very low budget and it shows (0 more)
The film should have been...
Well it's been a while since I tried a low budget horror and spotted this on Amazon prime. With a cameo from Kylie Minogue and starring Molly Ringwald. Never heard of it before and not surprised why. Really beyond the so bad it's kinda funny stage. Just really bad acting, script and ideas. One to miss.

Spectacularly bad on the disaster movies front
Why is it that the Hollywood sign is the first to go in disaster films, and why is Hollywood always trying to kill everyone off?

If it isn't a solar flare, tectonic plate/crust shifts or the reversal of Gulf streams, it's the San Andreas fault opening up creating huge earthquakes.

This film unfortunately rates rather low on the apocalyptic films front. The story is lacking, the Rock is awful - just a big American knucklehead saving the day - and the dialogue consists of a word per scene. The CGI was disappointing, even the 1990s film Deep Impact had better graphics. And Kylie Minogue doesn't even make it. It can't get any worse.

"I have an older sister and she was into things like Bros, New Kids On The Block and Kylie Minogue, and I think she ended up buying a few Cardigans records. We used to listen to them a lot. I remember being aware that the drums sounded really different to other bands. The production was incredibly good, it was catchy pop music. One of the guys involved, Peter Svensson went on to become Hollywood and write for Ariana Grande. I think it was probably the first of a few times when I realised that you didn’t have to be into production or catchy songs, you can be into both. All of their records are very good, I think."

Admittedly I have never been much of a dolly fan, nothing against her but I'm not into country music. Saying that, I did go into this with an open mind.
From the moment she is on screen she comes across as very likeable and down to earth, she even makes fun of her plastic surgery which sadly has ruined her looks, but we all know it's what's inside that counts.
She's definitely passionate about her work and very political, she also seems to be a very private person. The documentary has interviews with a few big names including Kylie minogue and Jane fonda but nobody had any dirt or juicy gossip, in fact this is the only documentary I've watched so far where's there's been nothing negative about the celeb. It does leave you wanting to know more.

"I think everyone has a complicated relationship with Michael Jackson, but if you listen back to his stuff it’s insanely unique. Nothing sounds like it, people might have a similar voice, but in terms of the kind of music, it’s very particular. It’s the first record I remember singing along with. I remember having a seven inch of ‘Another Part Of Me’ which had an instrumental on the other side and I realised it was just a karaoke opportunity. It was a huge pop record from when I was young, and very influential in a way; the same way that The Beatles teach you about music, Michael Jackson was like the first pop person I was aware of, and Kylie Minogue in our house was the female equivalent. An insanely successful guy who isn’t a macho guy, but is captivating in some way. Then you’ve got the ‘pinnacle’ of Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson together!"
