      touch me, i'm dick |
Welcome to the movie review world, SDM style. It goes like this, WE DON'T WATCH THE MOVIES. Instead, we take a gander at the previews, consider the hype, put it through the grinder and give you our take on the situation. It's a simple process really, but we're the ones doing it.

Primary Colors In the midst of political turmoil, it's nice to know that there's a movie about a president who isn't supposed to be Clinton. Nevermind that that has to be the biggest joke of all time. What's even worse is that John Travolta is proving that Vinnie Barbarino isn't his worst acting ever. If anything, his impression of a southern presidential candidate is like watching Forest Gump with a fashion sense. Not since Nicholas Cage has an actor made me hate southerners. On a plus side, Emma Thompson, the women whose very presence warrants at least an oscar nomination, is in the film. Unfortunately, she plays Wife of Quickwit. Billy Bob Thornton, the man who played Son of Gump in Sling Blade, is here in the "James Carville" role.There's not much else to add except that while I never read the book, I hope that it is truly the iceberg that sinks the Titanic (I hate this analogy, but I'm beating the headlines). If you want to watch a real movie, watch the new Jackie Chan flick. Chances are you've seen it before, but who hasn't heard the Bill Clinton Story? If Primary Colors sinks the ship One Thumb. If it sinks the ship and dethrones the dude in the mask: Two Thumbs. If it comes in behind, not only Two Fingers, but some very foul language. Who says conditional love is dead? |
