The Rock? WTF?

Seriously? As the lead character?

That's like David Lynch casting Freddie Prince Jr.

I just watched the Box, and was if-y on that one. The casting, score, and plot holes made it disappointing. I expected more from such a great director.

My girlfriend and I have been discussing R. Kelly's body of work, and neither of us had seen Southland Tales, but the preview alone makes me want to stay far, far away from this one. Kelly REALLY needs to get a new casting director. Sarah Michelle Gellar? Really, dude? She hasn't made a movie worth watching in her entire career. Sean Williams Scott is OK, but seems like a highly illogical choice for a movie of such apparent depth.

Hopefully Kelly will step his game up (and FIRE THAT EFFING CASTING DIRECTOR) for his next outing.
