Maddie just made me watch The Man Who Cried which is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. OMG it's so horrible.

From the IMDB user reviews:

Quote:

"I am hesitant to give any film with Johnny Depp lower than a five. Yet I'm pretty sure that Johnny Depp wasn't actually in the movie. Rather, it was a cardboard cutout of Johnny Depp, brooding, with his shirt half open. Other things were mysteriously lacking in this film, such as an ending...and a middle...and character development. Well, there was that moment that Johnny Depp cried. I found myself waiting after the credits for more plot development. And did ANYONE notice that Christina Ricci cannot sing? At all? Though that little girl singing Dido's Lament was probably the best moment in the film. In conclusion, Johnny Depp likes horses."

And another -

Quote:

"I think it was supposed to be dramatic. I wanted to like it, but it just wasn't happening. Don't waste your time watching this movie, unless you want to see Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci stare at each other for an hour and a half. "

I think "Bimbo Movie Bash" will rival "The Man Who Cried" for worst movie ever. I love B movies, but this isn't even up to that standard. It's kind of sad.

Caught on TCM The Story of Temple Drake, a 1930's pre-code I've been positively dying to see for decades. Based on a Faulkner it, sadly, did not live up to the hype and the years of anticipation. The star of the film, for me, was the cinematography of Karl Struss. Absolutely top flight, deep shadows, depth of focus, mood, visually it had everything.

While I get how shocking it was for 1933, I really really missed the fun of the Warner Brothers pre-codes like Female and Babyface. Could have used a slight dose of humor in there somewhere.

I think I need a dose of The Women to cure me of the cinematic funk.

It was one of my favorite films last year. John Hawkes amazed.

We just watched Paul. Really fun cute movie. Arthur not so much but we knew that going in.

Just finished watching Rango. Fan-freakin'-tastic movie! It's like someone took spaghetti western, greek tragedy, and European fairytale tropes, blended them together, topped them off with some 'shrooms, and served them forth in splendid animation.

If anybody cares, I liked Puss in Boots. For reference within the Shrek universe, I hated the last two of those.

The Muppets is fantastic. (Lucky me, I got to see it this morning. Not another word about it until Thanksgiving, other than, go see it.)
