For your review

Posted by pete at April 6, 2008 8:03 PM

I saw two of this week's openers, and the reviews are up for your scorn and derision.

Leatherheads *** - In my eyes, Clooney really hasn't done wrong since Ocean's Twelve. This is, as Douglas Adams might say, "mostly harmless." And as an added plus, Zellweger isn't all that annoying.

The Ruins ** - I can't tell if reading the book made me harsher on the film than I normally would've been, but then I remember author Scott Smith also wrote the screenplay, so likely had some measure of control over the uninspiring finished product. I'm not mad; I'm disappointed

I've also been dicking around with a new feature at Film Threat that should be debuting in the next couple weeks. I'll be sure to nag you with news of its arrival when the time comes.

Any time one can honestly say “That dame’s got moxie” is a good time.
