MaestroReviews

Deb and I are artists, painters actually. We go see films as often as once a week. That's right, we go to the theater and sit in a dark room with strangers to see movies. We rarely rent. We like "little" movies, foreign and documentary films. We try to stay away from mainstream and blockbusters whenever possible, but a couple sneak in each year. We seek out the obscure. We try to avoid violent movies, and that really limits our choices, most film makers seem to think violence makes a story interesting.
I try not to give anything away in the reviews, but offer an honest reaction.
We rate them 1~10, 10 being highest.

Movie 43

Deb 0     Me 2

So here's a weird little flick that's billed as a weird one. It's about a dozen vignettes loosely tied together and done by an equal amount of directors. It has an impressive cast including Dennis Quaid, Greg Kinnear, Seth MacFarlane, Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet. I think they're trying to push some limits and get outside the old box, which they do, but in a train wreck sort of way. There are parts that are funny, but it's just so sophomoric, so moronic that its just bad. It kinda reminded me of Kentucky Fried Movie, the first movie by Jim Abrahms and the Zucker boys, directed by John Landis and equally tasteless, but it had the advantage of being first. So I'll add lack of originality to the list of objections to the movie, although I DID laugh, I just don't want to admit it.
