Revolutionary Road

Fneh.

I guess the acting was good?

Wow

I do not agree.

I love Futurama, but the second half of this movie is meandering, off-tone and boring. The first one definitely has its problems, but at least it's pretty consistent throughout.

I will say these things though: the first half hour is amazing, and I can see a world where, if it's split up for Comedy Central in just the right ways, you can get pretty solid episodes out of it. And the Grand Midwife is awesome.

But as a movie? Fneh.

Juno

Sorry, folks. Gonna have to go with a fneh here.

This is the type of fneh where the contributions of Michael Cera, Jason Bateman, J.K. Simmons, Allison Janney and everyone else in the cast were just totally offset by how annoying Ellen Page was.

Not that she didn't do a good job of acting. I just found the character to be highly annoying.

Anyway, fneh.

Bonus fneh! Black Snake Moan was also fneh! Great potential in the concept, terrible execution.

Blech. Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech.

This movie sucked hardcore. Rather than relay what made it so bad, I will tell you about my favorite three minute sequence. It happens at the end, so SPOILER ALERT.

After killing a character with a voodoo doll, the Michelle Pfeiffer witch is in serious trouble, as she is getting beaten by the Hero. So she grabs the voodoo doll again and makes the voodoo doll guy fight the hero! The angles at which he fights are ridiculous and perfect. And as he is dead, he is not conquerable in any conventional way. Awesome.

THEN the Michelle Pfeiffer witch is about to kill our Heroes, when all of a sudden out of nowhere, she has a change of heart! She doesn't feel it's worth living, since the Heroes killed her sisters. So she lets them go! Gutsy choice.

Then it turns out she was faking it and it sucked. But for three minutes out of this awful movie, I was enthralled.
