Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Interesting. I watched it because Netflix has had it as something "beign watched in my area" so after months of seeing the DVD cover I caved in. I wonder if they are being compensated for placement. The reviews on Netflix (and elsewhere, though it is just shy, 59%, of a fresh rating from cream of the crop at rottentomatoes) are hardly glowing.

Anyway, it is definitely pretentious and thinks it is smarter than than it is, just not so much that I hated it. It kind of felt like a demo reel for a film school student looking to show he can put together various types of scenes.

Though it is an odd coincidence that after last week commenting to Lani about how little nudity there is in movies any more, the last four movies I've watched have all had plenty.
