Tumbling *beep* of a movie


Wow.

Way to waste two hours.

I hate it when stupid film makers con me into their narrative masturbation devices. Taking a contrivance from Devils Advocate, Jacobs Ladder, re-dressing it as a high school chick-flick, laying on a bunch of deep themes, metaphors and lingering slow-mo shots to make it all look far cleverer than it actually is.

Despite what its fans say, there was no substance in this movie. As a discussion on conscience, guilt, regret, or love it is absolutely trite and pointless. The only people who would find meaning are those suggestible enough to its pretenses, the same people who probably thought Black Swan was "oh, just so incredible yah?"

A far more accomplished film like Seven Pounds blows this sort of dross out of the water.

I agree. We think they made 1/4 of a movie and intercut it 3 times. I hated Black Swan also, and will never be able to watch Natalie Portman again.

Seven Pounds??

What a douchebag.

And by the way, the movie was only 90 minutes. You can't even tell time, let alone recognize intelligent, thought-provoking storytelling.

I couldn't agree more. At least Jacob's Ladder gave way to some "hints!" Utter *beep* here.



Just sayin'...
