Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Oooh, that's out? Time to check the queue.

Meanwhile, we followed a Netflix recommendation for a movie called Cashback.

We turned it off. It was unwatchable. Which is too bad because the premise was interesting and there was a good scene or two. But they made the decision to go with a running voice-over monologue through the whole bloody movie which they clearly thought contained brilliant prosaic writing, but was actually hackneyed over dramatic drivel.

It was especially glaringly bad having just seen WALL-E where an entire love story was told with fewer words than this amateur attempt at a movie had in any 2 minute stretch.
