when a stranger calls a review
LAME!
end review.
I took our exchange student - because I had promised to and this was the only flick we could catch... ...the opening credits hadn't even finished before she'd jumped.
So I'm glad that she got the required reaction from it.
I, however, was suicidal most of those 80 or so minutes. I had asked people to come join me because I knew I would hate it and wanted someone to share my pain and bitch with... I didn't think it'd be that bad though. So I'm glad no one else had to suffer with me, I can take it without killing anyone else's evening.
While Sakura was shaking under my arm in pure terror I was yelling in my head "JUST KILL THE STUPID BITCH ALREADY!" - the girl, not Sakura Two girls behind us were laughing lots. I joined them a few times, but for the most part I was giving my
face.
But with less smile.
It's bad enough to revamp an old classic, but to do that to it... I want to kill it with sticks. I hated it, I hated it with gravy.
As I got up to leave I said aloud "Just when you thought they couldn't make them any worse..."
I was expecting something bad to begin with, but damn folks, we've found a new low.
I know I should really write a proper review and explain the reasons why I hated it so much, which I could do quite easily - reviews like these being my favourite kind. But to be honest, I'd just like to forget I parted with that money and that chunk of my life and just warn you all not to even think about checking this overrated and underplanned film out.
I should have quit this day as soon as I got out of the shower.
Shawshank Redemption just started on Foxtel as I walked in - I'm being rewarded by the movie gods for my sacrifice. Once again, at least the day isn't a total waste after all.
