Mr. Singer and company, we kneel before you as if you were Zod himself come to conquer. Thanks.
And Mr. Ratner? Take your big, silly fake-out Sentinel head and go home. This is how it’s supposed to be done.

because clearly Cage has decided to become action/thriller cinema’s first Polish great-grandma. (
Well, that’s too bad. Back a year or so ago when I heard that they’d be making a movie out of Judi and Ron Barrett’s terrific kids’ book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, I hoped maybe it’d be made live-action. Handled well, the idea of seeing an actual town where it rained hotdogs and baked beans in an open-roof restaurant, as well as the bit where sanitation trucks clean up all the leftover rain/snow/food and feed it to the pets would be, I thought, a bundle of CG-imbued cinema fun.

Forget all about the great looking special effects and a promising (translation: very un-Hollywood) story line, Kevin Spacey just might have returned to form by taking the kind of role he’s supposed to play: a friggin’ bad guy!! Remember when Spacey took interesting parts where he didn’t play Bobby Darin? (By the way, thanks Kevin, the public was really calmoring for a Darin biopic. What’s next, your one man show “An Evening with Jim Nabors”?) remember when Spacey didn’t take roles in unwatchable dreck like “Pay It Forward” and “The Life of David Gale.” Thanks, Bryan Singer. For your next trick, can you bring Cuba Gooding Jr. back to sanity as well? Or has he already signed to do for the sequals to “Radio”, “The Fighting Temptations” and “Boat Trip”?
