Monday Movie Mashup
So in honor of it being the NIGHT BEFORE HALLOWEEN (spooooky!), we present a smattering of the films we've seen lately, in easy-to-digest capsule-review format. Enjoy!
SAW III: Not bad. But seriously? One of the grossest movies we've ever seen. Seriously, they ramped up the disgusting by a factor of at least 10. No one needs to see brain surgery conducted, ever. Even surgeons. They usually look away while they're doing that shit.
Thank You For Smoking: Overrated. And honestly? We think it might be a little evil. It seems like the kind of smarmy coastal self-congratulatory claptrap that's killing Studio 60. Like, it's a movie for kind of evil people who know that their jobs are kind of evil to pat themselves on the back, have a laugh, and say, "See? We're just good ol' folks like you, average American!" Bet George Bush LOVES this movie.
The Departed: Awesome. Like you didn't already know that. Although when did they pass a law saying that everyone who gets shot in Boston must get shot in the head?
Peeping Tom: A British movie from 1960 that is utterly brilliant. You can't take your eyes off of it. Big ups to this one.
The Prestige: Okay, to be honest, we haven't seen it yet. But we're TOTES going to. Aren't you? The dude who made Batman Begins is pitting Wolverine against Batman! How awesome is that?!?
