The Descendants – Two words: Beau Bridges
Drive – Why is the shockingly violent consistently forgiven? Scarface, Robocop, Oldboy, etc. Take a boot to somebody’s skull repeatedly enough to forget the premise and you’ll suddenly acquire a cult of apologetic sycophants.
Thor — Thoroughly full of itself. Thoroughly disappointing.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes – The fall of common sense.
The Iron Lady – Biopic opens with an old woman buying milk at a corner store … and this is a big deal.
J. Edgar – Biopic aboutHoover? Well, nature hates a vacuum and, now, so do I.
Real Steel – Stupid, unappealing brawling robot. But enough about Hugh Jackman.
Jane Eyre — Honestly, I think there’s more chemistry between Hugh and the robot than this Jane andRochester.
My Week with Marilyn – day 1. Marilyn shows up, refuses to work on a flimsy premise. I agree with her as I have a penis. Repeat six more times.
(apologies to Tree of Life, which thanks to a Best Pic nod merits an automatic HOF achievement award for services to the overrated community)
