First the results of the Avatar Poll I had in my sidebar:
At the moment, Avatar is about to cross over $2.5 billion. But, will it have enough momentumn to reach $2.7?
Now on to the movie review of Year One...
Okay, have you ever been just so damned tired that you lacked the energy to turn off the TV? That's my excuse for sticking through this travesty.
Let's start with its good points:
It was better than Caveman.
Michael Cera had some really funny lines, helped by his great delivery.
Okay, now the bad:
Jack Black played an unfunny version of... Jack Black.
Jokes were of the bathroom humor variety.
Scenes were like bad SNL skits - they started with a premise and then just tapered off into nothing.
Oliver Platt was... creepy and disturbing.
Overall, a huge disappointment from director Harold Ramis.
I've seen him in several other films and Michael Cera will recover.
The rest of the crew? Not so sure.
Except #13 from House. She'll be fine.
My verdict? D+
Fortunately, I balanced that out with a good movie - Duplicity. A solid B for that one.
Next time, someone please help me reach the remote!
