In case you’re interested,

In case you’re interested, I think Smart People was the second best movie where Dennis Quaid plays an English professor. (The 1980s remake of DOA being the first-and the abuse of the English language that movie attacked, namely the difference between imply and infer, is far more egregious than the one in this film: when to use who and when to use whom.)

It wasn’t a bad movie, just not a very good one. I think they could have trimmed about ten minutes and tried a little less to ape Thomas Anderson.

I really liked Ellen Page because she was playing a villain: imagine if Alex P. Keaton went bad, or if Max from Rushmore was malicious as well as selfish, and you’ll get a good idea of what her character was like.

My mom had a pretty good time-thanks again for the tickets!

THEATER, TV, DVD & BLU-RAY REVIEWS

  • Appaloosa

    CHICAGO – I expect “Appaloosa” to be one of the more hard-to-get movies at your local video stores for the next few months. It’s the kind of movie - action-driven and widely missed in theaters - that does very well on the home market. Renters will find an old-fashioned Western that may not transcend its genre but will certainly provide more than enough entertainment on a snowy winter’s eve.

  • Righteous Kill

    CHICAGO – “Is it killing time or is he just killing time?” If you don’t groan at a line of dialogue that shockingly horrendous then we’ve got a Blu-Ray release for you. Marking a new low in a baffling series of career decisions for two of the best actors of all time, “Righteous Kill” is as much an unqualified disaster on Blu-Ray as it was when critics ridiculed it and audiences ignored it in theaters.
