Buyer's Remorse

Aug 26, 2009 17:44

My proclivity for buying bargain DVDs at grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations, etc. sometimes backfires.

I have a fondness for Get Shorty but despite the many talented/funny actors in it Be Cool is SO very terrible. Plot, script, acting, everything is awful.

Be well.

But you have to admit that The Rock was awesome! The eyebrow!

Yes there was a bunch of self-referential mockery like the eyebrow or the "hating movie sequels" line or Travolta and Thurman dancing or Andre 3000 playing a buffoon of a rapper...but most of it fell flat. It felt like they were trying to be too clever and not doing a good job.

A different director, and a lack of Gene Hackman, also didn't help.

Be well.
