Catch and Release
Posted by: John McCrarey @ 2:35 pm | Filed under: General , movies    

No, I’m not talking about Obama’s plan for what to do with captured enemy combatants.  Catch and Release is the title of a movie I watched this week.  Or more correctly, tried to watch.  Only made it halfway through before turning it off in disgust.  Rather than being entertained, I was irratated.  It started out slow, then got worse.  Insipid, shallow, and dull.  Which is too bad, because there were some good actors associated with this wreck of a movie.  Jennifer Garner, Juliette Lewis and Kevin Smith (aka silent Bob) were wasted talent on this shell of a story.  Hey, my first zero rating!  I’ll give it that.

Also watched a film called The Secret.  This was was just plain ass weird in a disturbing kind of way.  First time I had seen the whole ‘mom/wife possesses daughter’s body’ thing done as something other than comedy.  I guess it had its moments and it was mildly entertaining, but when the “wife” tries to seduce the husband while in her daughter’s body, it was just a bit over the top for me.  Stars David Duchovny as the would be incesterous father/husband.  I’ll give it a 2 out of 5.

And that’s about it from here folks.

  1. Thanks for the reviews, John.

    No time for movies just now. You’ll see less of me (in this case, less may be more) as I pack and transport to the FL west coast. We’ve been in a horrible drought for probably two years here in FL, rationed lawn watering etc, and wouldn’t you know it. As soon as I start carrying furniture to the trucks we get a ‘resident’ low over the whole of south FL and it rains, daily, from 1 to 3 inches at a clip. at least the temps haven’t been that bad with overcast skies and maybe we’ll be able to overcome this drought condition finally.

    I keep telling myself, it would be worse - like 95 in the shade, so I’ll tough it out.

    Hang in there and keep the excellent blog entries coming.
