The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
VERDICT:
8/10 Horrifying Infants
I actually went and saw this twice when it was out in theaters. Not often that I dish out twelve bucks on the same movie two times, but this was a good one.
Benjamin Button is about guy who is physically born “under unusual circumstances” as a decrepit old man/wrinkled newborn/total freak of nature. So as time goes on, his mind develops normally while his body ages in reverse from rickety old geezer to young stud. Along the way he falls in love with a woman who is aging the way a normal human being should, and they have a pretty complicated relationship as a result.
Awkward.
I had high expectations going into this movie not because of its story or because of pretty boy Brad Pitt (shocking, I know), but because it’s directed by one of the best film makers out there right now, David Fincher. The highlights of Mr. Fincher’s career include these family favorites: Fight Club, Seven, The Game and Zodiac.
His resume’ speaks for itself, he’s got a great, dark visual style that no one else has, and he knows how to tell a good story. That makes him the man. And go see those movies if you haven’t already.
While Benjamin Button isn’t Fincher’s best movie, it’s probably his most insightful next Seven (in a totally different way). The best part about this movie isn’t the special effects, or the acting, or the story, or the directing, it’s the message. The script has a handful of really beautiful, subtle moments that turn this is movie into one of the best and most genuinely affecting meditations on life and death I’ve ever seen.
One of those movies that makes you smile just thinking about how great it is to be alive. We need more of those kinds of movies.
The whole “aging in reverse” thing is a pretty complicated concept for a movie, but it’s all executed very simply and it’s pretty cool to watch anyway. It’s not very flashy or overdone, the story moves along at a good pace, and whenever I thought about it after I left the theater, I always found myself reflecting on how nice and pleasant the overall experience was.
Brad Pitt is fine, I thought Cate Blanchett was pretty good even though it seems like no one else did, but I don’t know what it is that about this movie that really brings it all together. It’s epic in scope and it all feels kind of surreal with all the various people that Benjamin meets along the way and all the crazy antics he gets into. I guess it’s just kind of mesmerizing to watch him grow young and figure out life from back to front.
And I’ve already heard all the claims that this is just a Forrest Gump knockoff. While I can see the similarities when it comes to story structure and whatnot, they’re still two different movies. Even if Forrest Gump all of a sudden started aging backwards, you’d still have two different movies. That’s a bullshit reason not to give this movie a fair shot.
If only more movies reminded us of Forrest Gump. That’s a freakin’ great movie.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is one of the better movies that came out in 2008. I hardly noticed the long running time, it’s a swell date movie, and I’d recommend it to anyone.
It’s also based on my life.
Collateral (2004)
VERDICT:
8/10 Back Seat Drivers
Since Michael Mann’s new movie, Public Enemies, comes out today, let’s go ahead and take a look back at a really good movie he did a few years ago that I feel like everyone forgot about.
Collateral is about an L.A. cab driver with pipe dreams to own his own limo company that picks up a passenger one night named Vincent. Turns out, Vincent is a hitman that has taken it upon himself to use the cab driver as his getaway man for the evening, chauffeuring him from target to target.
I guarantee that kind of shit wouldn’t happen in New York.
The thing that’s awesome about Michael Mann is that all his movies are about professionals – people who are the best of the best in their line of work. His characters all know what’s up, they make it damn clear that they’re not screwing around, and that’s a big reason why his movies are cool as hell.
His movies also just look really cool. Hard to describe without seeing it for yourself, but his movies just feel..smooth; like everything in Michael Mann’s world is squeaky clean and it all shimmers like gun metal.
Smooth – good word.
Collateral‘s also got a good, simple premise that gets crazy fast: pro cab driver with no gun vs. pro killing machine with gun and lots of ammo to boot. That’s a winning formula right there. It’s also got some great, smooth dialogue to balance out all the assassinations, the pacing is fantastic, and Tom Cruise is really good as Vincent the grey, grizzled hitman.
And while it’s no Ray, Jamie Foxx is good, too. It’s actually more his role as the cabbie that’s good because he’s the real source of character development in the movie. But let’s not kid ourselves, it’s kind of hard to steal the show from a guy who kills people for a living and does it like it’s no big thing.
I don’t know what’s going on here, but this is about the second or third review where I’ve liked Tom Cruise. And I can think of two other movies off the top of my head where he’s good that I’m looking forward to writing about.
Something’s up here, and I don’t like it.
My main man Lloyd especially likes this movie because it’s about, “the embodiment of death in Tom Cruise and how his presence invigorates the once-dormant life in Jamie Foxx”. I’m just paraphrasing here, but that’s the main gist. Needless to say, Lloyd’s a pretty sharp guy, and he’s right. Collateral is more than just a vapid action movie and it’s got some pretty insightful points on life and death to break through that stereotypical shell of being a movie you’d find on Spike TV or something.
I’m looking forward to seeing Public Enemies, but since Miami Vice was apparently no good (my right-hand-man Nick calls it, “watching Colin Farrell hook up with Asian chicks for two hours”), there’s always Collateral to fall back on. Haven’t seen it in a while and if this is all news to you, then you might want to follow suit and give it a look even if Public Enemies is awesome.
Really good movie, one of those things that came and went in the theaters for no reason at all, and it’s just so damn…
Smooth.
Doubt (2008)
VERDICT:
8/10 Angry Catholics
I like watching talking heads movies with good actors in them. Especially when the actors yell at each other a lot. That’s a big reason why I like this movie.
Doubt takes place in 1964 and is about a mean old nun played by Meryl Streep who serves as a kind of dean of discipline to a Catholic High School in the Bronx that has recently gone under new management by a progressive priest played by Philip Seymour Hoffman. Things are initially copacetic between the two, but when the new priest starts to take the only black student in the school under his wing, seeds of doubt are planted in the nun’s head and she goes on a freaking rampage to prove that he’s sexually molesting the boy.
Catholic High Schools used to be crazy.
Adapted from a stage play by writer/director John Patrick Shanley, Doubt is very straightforward as a movie but very ambiguous as a script. The draw to the story is that it doesn’t tell you what happened and that you’re pretty much left to form your own opinions on what’s occurring behind closed doors based off the testimonials of a few choice characters who may or may not be reliable in regards to anything that they’re saying.
It all works really well and holy crap is it intense. I love movies that only need good dialogue and some serious actors to put you on edge. Those kind of movies don’t come along all that often.
And while I’m on the subject of serious actors, this movie has Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep verbally duking it out for an hour and half.
Awesome.
Two of the best actors out there and, as expected, they’re great.
Good acting is when it really feels like the people you’re watching aren’t even reading from a script; when something manufactured is made to feel genuine. That’s what the actors do in this movie and that’s why they all got nominated for Oscars.
And while they all hit it out of the park, the one person who got legitimately robbed out of an Oscar for this movie is Viola Davis who plays the mother of the boy that the priest takes under his wing. She’s only on-screen for maybe ten minutes, but she steals the show. As an actor, you should be able to cry on command, but, man, Ms. Davis really takes it to a new level. What she does with her role is a great, great example of how subtlety can speak volumes much louder than overpowered emotions.
I like talking about movies like this with other people because I always get a different answer about the same question. Not going to spoil it for you, but you’ll be more than ready to give your two cents on it the next time Doubt comes up in conversation.
It’s got a really strong script, great actors (did I mention that already?), and even if you don’t like it, you can at least be grateful you didn’t go to Catholic High School in the ’60s. All those horror stories you heard about those nuns all your life are apparently very true.
Trainspotting (1996)
VERDICT:
9/10 Gravity-Defying Drug-Induced Nightmare Babies
The best movie that Danny Boyle’s ever made (which is saying something) and the only movie other than Requiem for a Dream that will never, ever make you want to touch a drug for the rest of your days. They should start showing this sucker in D.A.R.E.
Trainspotting is about an on-again-off-again Scottish heroin junkie named Renton and the eccentric group of on-again-off-again heroin junkies he hangs out with. The plot more or less revolves around Renton’s struggle to kick the habit and set off on a brighter path that doesn’t follow his friends down the ugly slope that comes with doing heroin all the time.
That plot line might not sound all that crazy to some, but when was the last time you were hooked on heroin?
I rest my case.
I could go on and on about how awesome director Danny Boyle is, so I’ll keep it brief. The great thing about Danny Boyle is that each time he makes a movie it’s totally different from anything else he’s done, and nearly every time it’s absolutely great. It’s about time he got his due this past year with Slumdog Millionaire because he’s been doing his thing for 15 years now and he’s been doing it a lot better than most. So good for you, Danny boy.
This movie is his second effort after starting his career with a wild horror movie/psychological thriller called Shallow Grave, which I highly recommend.
Trainspotting is one in-your-face movie that slams on the gas pedal in the first frame and doesn’t let up until the credits roll. It’s an intense, gritty, gross, funny, dark, and harrowing movie that you might not know what to make out of when it’s all over, but it’ll stick with you. Few movies really dig this deep into the life of a junkie (not that I have any experience on the matter), but Boyle quickly makes the audience feel like they’re part of Renton’s gang whether they like it or not.
The characters are all great and unique, so are the actors, and the script is equal parts shocking and insightful. I read the novel it’s based off by Irvine Welsh a while back, and that was even better. You may not think there’s much you’d have in common with a group of Scottish dope fiends, but it ends up being a really relatable story about a group of friends struggling to find some sense of direction in their lives…and they all happen to do heroin.
The one drawback to this movie is that everyone talks with pretty thick Scottish accents and use lots of Scottish slang, so it takes some pretty sharp listening to catch what everyone’s actually saying to each other if you’re not fresh off the boat from Scotland. There is some really funny dialogue, but it might take you a second or third viewing to get it all down.
In a nutshell, Trainspotting is totally insane and it’s utterly brilliant. It’s like mixing together Pulp Fiction, Requiem for a Dream, and The Breakfast Club, and everyone sounds like Sean Connery. It’s not for the faint of heart, and that’s kind of a strange analogy, but there’s just nothing else like it.
So long live Danny Boyle and don’t. do. heroin.
Tropic Thunder (2008)
VERDICT:
6/10 Progressive Blackface Jokes
The opening ten minutes is some of the funniest shit I’ve seen in ages, but after that, the laughs get kinda hard to come by.
Tropic Thunder is about a group of A-list actors who sign up to do a Vietnam War/action movie and end up sabotaging the whole production for various reasons. So when the director realizes he isn’t getting the desired results, he throws them all into the jungle, leading them on to believe that they are filming the movie when in fact they are all fighting actual guerrilla soldiers. Then things get hairy.
It’s like The Three Amigos, only way more offensive.
Nothing goes un-insulted (is that a word?) in this movie: gays, homophobes, blacks, whites, and a pretty funny but totally wrong running gag about the mentally challenged among other jokes in bad taste. God, I hope I don’t sound like a bigot saying that, but the movie is really at its funniest when it’s pushing the envelope going after what the audience holds sacred. But as it usually goes with these things, when it works, it really works, when it doesn’t, it bombs.
The jokes don’t land as often as they should, there’s too much down time in between gags, and since the opening scenes had my sides aching right off the bat, it makes the silence of missing laughs that much more noticeable as a result.
And maybe I just wasn’t listening, but I couldn’t understand half of what Robert Downey Jr. was saying in this movie. How he got an Oscar nod for this, I do not know. Maybe it was penance for ignoring the awesome job he did in Zodiac a couple years back (great movie, go see it).
So the story is nothing new, it’s not as funny as it could have been, and all the actors involved have done better things in their career when it comes to comedy…except for one man. Tom freakin’ Cruise.
Yes, Tom Cruise is in this movie. He’s not on the poster and the studio didn’t publicize his involvement whatsoever, but he’s got a pretty big role that’s way outside his typical range and, amazingly enough, he’s hilarious. Can’t give away too much because that’s kind of the draw, but he’s a definite saving grace to the movie and he deserves some serious props for pretty much stealing the show from the three lead actors.
My suggestion: rent Tropic Thunder and watch it with a six-pack at your side. It’s not the funniest movie of 2008, but it has its moments and there are still a handful of cameos from some big-time actors that I haven’t mentioned who make it worth the time.
At the very least, go and YouTube “Tropic Thunder fake trailers” so you can see the opening scenes without having to dish out five bucks and a slot on your Netflix queue.
The Reader (2008)
VERDICT:
6/10 Bare-assed Nazis
Deserved the Best Actress Oscar, really didn’t deserve the Best Picture Nomination. Hard to believe this got picked over The Dark Knight. Good one, Academy.
The Reader is about a 16-year-old German kid who has an illicit, Summer-long affair with a Nazi train conductor during World War II. They have lots of sex, he reads many a book aloud to her, and she really digs it. Summer ends, fast-forward to when the kid is in law school and to his surprise finds that he’s now sitting in on his former lover’s Nuremberg trials for her role as a guard at Auschwitz.
Oh, to be young and in love.
The real selling point of The Reader is obviously Kate Winslet. She got nominated for absolutely anything at every single award show this year for her role here as the Nazi seductress. And while I still haven’t seen her other award-winning performance in Revolutionary Road, the Oscar was well-earned for her turn in this movie. I even think she won a Nobel Peace Prize for it…or a Grammy. Same difference.
I’m not sure why she won the Best Actress Oscar because she’s not the main character, but she definitely is the most interesting part of the movie regardless. Her character is very manipulative and Winslet’s performance just adds to that, making it strangely difficult to feel bad for this troubled Nazi who may or may not have been responsible for killing a lot of Jewish people.
Lots of real emotion, it’s a tough character to play considering her circumstances, and Kate makes it all feel real. She’s no joke and she’s come a long way from the days of Jack and Rose.
And hats off to you, Kate, you have officially beaten out Marisa Tomei for the most frequently naked, Oscar-nominated actress of all time. Something to be proud of, I guess. Won’t catch me showing my goods to everyone on Earth anytime soon, but if that’s your thing, then keep on fighting the good fight.
But aside from Kate and a good story, the rest of the movie is very mediocre. The pacing is really strange and moves along at a way-too-fast pace, like someone sped up the film reel and cut off ten seconds from the start and end of each scene. It actually just made me want to read the book afterwards because it felt like the director, Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot & The Hours – good movies), rushed like crazy through the plot and gave the audience a Sparknotes version of the story he was supposed to tell.
As a result, it’s difficult to connect with the characters, there isn’t enough character development, and I didn’t care about any of them or what was happening to them as much as I probably should have. It’s not often where a movie ends and I think, “That should have been an extra 20 to 30 minutes longer,” but this is one of those rare instances.
My good buddy Fred says the book is much better, so I’m going to suggest you go with Fred on this one and hit up your local library. The Reader is worth seeing for Kate, but you’re getting shortchanged with a good story told poorly.
Role Models (2008)
VERDICT:
8/10 Wizard McLovins
Surprisingly enough, this was actually the funniest movie of 2008. Was banking on Pineapple Express to take that title, but the proof is in the pudding, folks.
Role Models is about two energy drink spokesmen that are forced to mentor two kids as a means to fulfill their community service hours after destroying a school statue in a freak energy drink truck accident. Though initially resistant to their circumstances, the two guys gradually form a bond with the kids and everyone starts to change for the better. I think I’m…yup, I’m gonna cry.
The movie’s directed by David Wain, who also did Wet Hot American Summer, a freakin’ hilarious movie that still cracks me up every time I see it. Paul Rudd is pretty funny as the somber energy drink spokesman/role model, but I’m starting to feel like he’s playing the same role in every movie at this point. Someone needs to cast him as a serial killer…or a crazy war veteran. Enough of this “mopey, but cute and endearing” shit.
Seann William Scott is hilarious as usual in a “grown-up Steve Stifler” kind of way. Newcomer Bobb’e J. Thompson (who spells their name like that?) is also damn funny as the foul-mouthed, boob-obsessed, asshole kid that Seann William Scott has to mentor. Only other thing I’ve seen him in is 30 Rock, but a funny kid all the same. Who doesn’t like watching kids curse in movies?
But I probably should have known that McLovin would steal the show as the horribly strange and awkward mentee whose sole passion in life is playing a real-life version of Dungeons & Dragons (known to the elite members of this bizarre underworld as “LARPing”). His real name is Christopher Mintz-Plasse, but let’s be honest, this kid could cure cancer and he’d still be known as Dr. McLovin.
That’s pretty badass, actually. Sounds like a Motley Crue song.
I wasn’t expecting a whole lot from this movie going into it, but I was really surprised when it didn’t end up being another forgettable summer comedy. It has great characters, it’s consistently hilarious throughout its run-time, it has a great final act, and the story is genuinely heartfelt and not corny in the least. Still vividly remember the ear-to-ear grin plastered on my face after I left the theater.
So if you still haven’t seen Role Models, if you’re still finding a way to fill that McLovin void in your life, and if you still think that Tropic Thunder is the funniest movie that came out last year, then you owe it to yourself to go and rent this movie.
We both know that Tropic Thunder could have been better.
Milk (2008)
VERDICT:
8/10 Personal Heroes
Gus Van Sant behind the camera, James Franco with an afro, an Oscar-winning screenplay, an Oscar-winning performance by Sean Penn, and the bittersweet life story of Harvey Milk. That’s some good stuff right there.
Milk is a biopic about Harvey Milk, a camera store owner in San Francisco in the mid-to-late 1970’s that became the first openly gay man elected to public office and was later assassinated by fellow San Fran city supervisor and psychotic bastard, Dan White.
After getting used to the biopic formula over the past few years with movies like Ray and Walk the Line (which were both good, but pretty damn similar in plot), I was surprised and impressed with the different direction that Gus Van Sant took this movie in. He’s done a lot of great movies to begin with (Good Will Hunting & My Own Private Idaho among others), so maybe I shouldn’t have been all that surprised.
Right off the bat, he tells you how the movie ends – Harvey Milk gets assassinated. Can’t think of a whole lot of movies that take the approach of giving you the heads up that the main character gets offed at the end, but it’s in the history books anyway and it actually works better that way in the long run. As a result, Van Sant makes it clear to his audience that he’s not trying to create a formulaic drama of Milk’s life, but rather emphasizes that the movie is as much about the importance of the gay rights movement as it is about Milk himself.
The ’70s was a wild decade and its great to be reminded of a time when people were proud and unbelievably adamant about standing up and fighting for things they believed in no matter what the odds. It’s amazing to me that gay rights is still such a heated issue, but nonetheless, it’s just as amazing to see that the effort is now as strong as ever.
Sean Penn does a really good job of bringing out Milk’s magnetism and embodying his message of hope. I still think Mickey Rourke deserved the Oscar for The Wrestler, but Penn is great all the same. The guy’s a good actor, can’t knock him for it.
It’s got a really good script, it’s got a great message, and there’s not a bad bit of acting to be found. Yes, there is a good deal of man-on-man make-out sessions, but come on, you can handle it. We’re all adults here.
I’ve always been really fascinated by the story of Harvey Milk. He stood for everything that was and is right about universal equality, not just for the gay community, but for anyone who was a victim of intolerance in America. And unfortunately, in his death, he also became the embodiment of everything that was and is inherently wrong with American prejudices and intolerance.
I still haven’t seen the Oscar-winning documentary that came out way back when in 1984, The Times of Harvey Milk, but I’d go ahead and say that it’s required viewing if you liked Milk or if you’re unfamiliar with Harvey Milk’s life. He was an amazing guy and it’s a really beautiful and heartbreaking piece of American history.
With all this Proposition 8 bullshit that’s going on in America right now, Milk is as pertinent as ever. Gays are alright in my book and I honestly don’t see what the big deal is about. Not gonna get on a soap box here, but let’s be honest, the last thing anyone we need is more conservative nutjobs like Dan White in the world.
Am I right or am I right?
Robocop (1987)
VERDICT:
9/10 Great Reasons to Not Take Up A Life of Crime
Sweet sassy molassy, do I freakin’ love this movie. One of the few awesome things about the 1980s that didn’t involve synthesizers or Flock of Seagulls.
Robocop is about a guy who joins the Detroit police force in the near future and gets shot up within an inch of his life by street thugs his first day on the job. Buzzkill. But instead of kicking the bucket, the mayor of Detroit decides to make this cop a living test subject of kickass law enforcement technology and turns him into fucking ROBOCOP!
And that, kids, is why you don’t kill cops.
Directed by Paul Verhoeven, who can be great (Total Recall & Starship Troopers) or pretty damn bad (Hollow Man & Showgirls), this is easily the best thing he’s ever done for the world. He’s the real reason this movie’s the great time that it is. Him and the great script.
Like most of Verhoeven’s movies, Robocop has its fair share of crazy violence. It gets a little over-the-top at times (the old “guy gets horribly mutated by chemical waste” gag), but then again, it also brings some serious laughs in turn (the old “mutated guy gets hit by car” gag).
Look, it’s rated-R and it’s called Robocop, you should be ready for some violence.
But Robocop has everything you’d want from a movie that combines two of everyone’s favorite things: vigilante justice and robots. It’s got wild special effects which don’t look terrible twenty years later, a great, engaging story that’s much more than just popcorn fluff, absolutely hilarious dialogue, and it also has two of the all-time great sci-fi characters to boot – Robocop (of course) and Clarence J. Boddicker.
For those unfamiliar, Clarence Boddicker is one of the meanest, brutal, most coldblooded and funny villians ever put to screen. He’s almost like Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) from No Country For Old Men, only with less hair and a bigger smile. He’s not the mastermind behind all the evildoing in the movie, but he is the baddest dude by far, he’s got some of the best lines, and he’s played by Kurtwood Smith.
Yup, he’s played by Red Forman from That ’70s Show. And he is awesome.
Despite the ways in which it transcends the sci-fi and action genres, it’s still very much a guy movie. Lots of explosions, lots of guns from the future, and while there is one tough woman who serves as Robocop’s partner in the force, it’s not really enough to appeal to a wider female audience the way it would to grunting, barbaric men. Don’t hold me on that though, not just gonna throw out generalizations all willy-nilly here.
I realize that for some people who haven’t seen this movie, the title “Robocop” might make it sound more stupid than badass. But let me assure you, there is nothing stupid about this movie. If all Summer blockbusters were still as good as this, the world would be a much better place.
Suck on that, Michael Bay.
Robocop will always be a personal favorite of mine and I completely recommend it. One of those movies I could watch a thousand times and never get tired of. And that’s a beautiful thing.
Valkyrie (2008)
VERDICT:
3/10 Great Excuses to Rewrite History
Is it worse to see a crappy movie with a free ticket or a ticket you actually paid for? Something to think about. Really wish I had that free ticket back.
Valkyrie is about a German colonel under Hitler’s command that, along with a small group of other he-man Hitler-haters, puts together a plan to assassinate Adolf and clear their own names in the process. I wonder if it’s gonna work…
And that right there is the problem with Valkyrie. Every person who’s going into this movie knows exactly how it’s going to end. Hitler lives, so Tom Cruise and his buddies are all in deep shit.
Not spoiling the movie for you. World history spoiled it for you if anything.
The entire plot is a slow boil of tension leading up to the assassination attempt…and then it doesn’t work. So what’s the point of watching it then if that’s the payoff? The movie just ends up being the story of how all these anti-Nazi Nazis blew a golden opportunity, and you know it right from the start. The whole time I was watching this in the theater I was saying to myself, “I wonder how Tom Cruise is going to die at the end of this?” Pretty sure everyone else was, too.
While it’s not a standout script by any means, it does have good intentions. It beats you over the head with its message that not all Nazis were bad, that some actually stood up and fought for what was right. And while that’s great, I’m all for the good Nazis, was anyone really aching for a movie that finally allowed us to sympathize with the Nazi party? Yeah, I wasn’t either.
And if you’re going to make a movie where the plot is essentially null and void, you’re going to need one hell of an actor to carry the rest of the movie so that the audience doesn’t hate the finished product. Even though I didn’t hate this movie, Tom Cruise was not the man for the job. He’s definitely got his moments in his career, but I’ve never seen a movie with him in it and said to my good buddy Fred, “That movie would have sucked…if it wasn’t for Tom Cruise.” Same story here.
Should have cast Mickey Rourke. Always cast Mickey Rourke.
Director Bryan Singer does a satisfactory job, but he can do a lot better. For God’s sake, he did The Usual Suspects and the first two X-Men movies. Those are all awesome movies. Get back to your roots, Bryan. We miss you.
Now, what would have made this a good movie is if the attempt did work.
“What?”
That’s right, screw history! The bomb goes off, Hitler’s mustache flies clear off his face, and his little, hunchbacked, ragdoll body rockets up to the moon. Tom Cruise ends World War II, all those bad nazis get killed off, and I don’t know…Marty McFly shows up in his DeLorean to celebrate. Roll credits.
Who wouldn’t want to see Hitler get taken out like that?
But since beggars can’t be choosers and I wasn’t allowed to write the script, Valkyrie ends up being a pretty disappointing movie. It’s not disappointing in the sense that I had any expectations to meet whatsoever, but isn’t it just disappointing to watch someone “walking the Green Mile” per se?
All I’m saying is look out for Aiden R.’s remake: Valkyrie: Hitler’s Fucked.
