The one good thing Tyler Perry put his name on…

I’ve mentioned in an earlier post that I was privileged enough to see this movie as rough cut at a screening and thought it was amazing.

Now there’s a new trailer that could definitely pull me in to thetheater again to see.

It seems Precious, based on the book “Push” by Sapphire, is taking Cannes by storm and has already won some awards.

Definitely definitely check it out if you can.

Hayao Miyazaki- Ponyo

Better Late…The Spirit

What a shit show that movie is.

I know it supposed to be similar in style to Sin City but The Spirit could not impress with its hacky pull from what was a much better version.

The movie trailer definitely tried to used its hot-lady powers to pull an audience in but once there it failed to deliver.  Gratuitous nakedness is doable and can be successful but naked for the sake of naked can be boring  apparently.

When The Spirit asks Eva Mendes’ character to put her hands up and she conveniently loses her towel I couldn’t help think  “Really guys really?”

The dialogue was utter crap and I was just plain unengaged by the story.

Sam Jackson can be good when he’s crazy but crazy for the sake of crazy is lame.  We get it Sam Jackson is really good at being over the top and thats funny but I shouldn’t be laughing because his performance is laughable.

The one good thing about the movie. Sarah Paulson’s scenes were actually pretty good but she’s on screen not nearly enough to appreciate it fully.

Sorry Frank Miller. You fail.

Happy Friday

Oprah: Hypocrisy 101

I’ve missed the last few days of news aside from the swine flu  but apparently Oprah was giving away free chicken today? Chicken from KFC?

Didn’t she do a whole episode of the horrors of manufactured food and, in fact, didn’t she get railed by the beef industry for comments about their conduct?

Color me confused.
