Replay


Have you seen the trailers and posters for Adam Sandler's latest turd, Click?

What an original idea! A remote control that lets you control life! That would be incredible. You could prevent fights with your wife, take revenge on your tormentors and watch breasts bouncing in slow mo. This I've learned from the commercials. I'm guessing this magical remote will also help him reconnect with his family and learn an important lesson of life. In the end, he won't need the remote, becuase he'll be able to value what he has.

If the whole disaster wasn't frightening enough, Chris Walken has further marginalized himself by playing Christopher Lloyd playing a mad scientist.

Is this really the best you can do people? A fifth grader could have written this film!

If anyone sees it, please file a report. I, for one, will stay in and watch Punch Drunk Love.

You know, I had no intention of seeing 'Click' - UNTIL - I found out that Walken as Lloyd as mad scientist was involved.

I'll be framing my tick stub - which I hope to get signed by some random screenplay writing five year old.

Sweet. Please post a picture, Mr. Sandler.

I actually didn't like Punch Drunk Love. Something about it felt undeveloped to me. I didn't know what PT Anderson was up to in this film.

However, Magnolia was a tough act to follow. That's a life-changing movie.

Punch Drunk is hard to watch becuase it's so awkward at times, but parts of it are just brilliant I think.

Magnolia may be the most hated movie of the past 10 years. I liked it, though. People all over have been known to wail in exasperation: "It was so long, and then, at the end, it rains frogs! What the fuck was that about? That was so stupid!"

I thought the rain of frogs was one of the most brilliant moments in all of American film. It fit perfectly with the movie's theme of random accidents interrupting compulsive patterns. For me, it was genuinely poetic.

I liked the rain of frogs. I didn't notice that it fit into an overall theme like that, only that it matched the series of strange events outlined in the introductory sequence.
