Let's ALL go to the movies. Not.

Belmont Club really hated Alexander, as did Victor Davis Hanson. In fact, the latter's review can be summarized with his opening line: Well, I thought it was simply terrible. Tell us how you really feel, VDH. Brian Tiemann liked it though, which just goes to show there's no accounting for taste

Hey, at least The Incredibles rocked ;)

Rotten Tomatoes gave Alexander a 14%. That's pretty bad. Although Christmas with the Kranks got a 4%. To give you an idea of the Tomato scale, Gigli got a 7%. The site is a very good indicator of whether a movie is good or bad since it takes all published reviews into account. If a movie is in the high 90's, you know it's amazing, since it's so hard to get 90% of critics to agree on anything. Likewise, if it's below 25%, you know it's garbage.

As for this year's crop of films, I think it hasn't been a terrible year. Movies like "Sideways", "Kinsey", and "Team America" all recently came out and were fantastic. Like every other year, this one has been hit or miss.

I think Team America had been too built up by the time I got to it. I liked the South Park movie ever so much better. Haven't seen the other two yet.

I guess I'm just disappointed. I expected better from Legally Blonde 2, Troy, and Alexander.

Seeing Alexander made me appreciate Troy.
