Hope they save this for a DVD boxcover pull-quote.

This just BEGS to be the quote of the day, from a review by Capone at AICN:

OVER HER DEAD BODY plays out about as predictably as a child’s color-by-number paint set, and I spent the entire film going back and forth between bored and angry. If that sounds appealing to you, go to hell, and enjoy this film on the flight down there.

It’d be my dream job to get paid to watch and review movies each day, but to be honest I’d probably love film a whole lot less if I was compelled to sit through every piece of dreck to hit the multiplex.

11.20.2008Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:
MTV: Is the ball in George’s court at this point? Ford: It is. That’s the process. With some general input he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles into a story. And at some point we have a chance to take a look at and give some input.
Now granted this is Ford’s opinion of Lucas’ “creative process”, yet still: when one of the three principals of the Indiana Jones legacy classifies the story creation process as a haphazard, one-man effort that only superficially seeks outside input, it’s hard not to feel frustrated. Not surprised, just frustrated. Dear Mr. Spielberg: please put your foot down and either demand a coherent story or walk away. Just do us all a favor, could you? Maybe? (found via FilmDrunk)

11.19.2008Okay, I need your help here. Sonny, Michael Corleone and Tom Hagen keep bringing up the fact that they want to go see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.How do I get out of this? I love going to the movies with my boys, opening up their minds to the great pleasures of cinema and all that, but this is a hard one. Please help me: do I suck it up and just go, or can anyone out there provide me with a plausible, kind-hearted, permanent way out? (10)
