For Your Review - 4/11 - 4/13

Posted by pete at April 12, 2008 9:11 AM

My review of Street Kings went up yesterday. 1.5 stars out of five. Keanu Reeves does a poor Martin Riggs, and corruption runs rampant in the LAPD. Who knew?

Also, in response to the rising number of movies opening with no advance press screening, We've started a new feature called "Sight Unseen," where I offer a speculative account unblemished by actual, y'know, facts. The first installment is for Prom Night, which I bet you didn't know was Ingmar Bergman's final film:

The climax is a special effects spectacular that - in spite of the profusion of exploding heads - still retains that je ne sais quois of Bergman's.

You get the idea. The tricky thing will be keeping online review aggregators from picking it up. Speaking of which, I better go check Metacritic.
