Movie Reviews of Southland Tales

Movie Review: I never finished watching
Summary: 2 Stars

I had great hopes for this one: look at the cast! As a matter of fact, I'll watch anything with Dwayne Johnson in it - Rock On! But this dystopian satire began to look too much like a Saturday Night Live sketch gone wrong. As it jerked along going nowhere, I lost interest. So much possibility, so miserable an outcome. Sad. Really sad.

Movie Review: I enjoyed it.
Summary: 5 Stars

It seems like I'm in the minority here, but I can say with a straight face that I thoroughly enjoyed Southland Tales. I laughed out loud numerous times and I think The Rock is a much better actor than people give him credit for. This was one of the best films I've seen in a long time. Every scene either made me laugh or think, which is all I can ask for in a movie.

Movie Review: Good idea. Bad film.
Summary: 1 Stars

This movie is disjointed and chaotic. The "End of the World" theme seems appealing but the production is awful. It contains bits and pieces of really good ideas that never went anywhere. I spent most of the time wondering what was going on. It seems Richard Kelly was high on the "red" stuff when he made this flick.

Movie Review: Time Badly Spent
Summary: 1 Stars

About the only good thing that could be said for this movie is that it replaces "Highlander-The Source" as the all time greatest waste of two hours in my life. Sarah, make something with dignity again. Even "Scooby Doo 3" would be better than this.

(And a suggestion to Amazon. Whoever makes the decision should really allow a "No Star" option just for movies like this. One star is just far too high a rating)
