Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

    What you'll find here are comments on the movies through which I've cried, yawned, laughed, and rolled my eyes since it first occurred to me to record my film thoughts while they're still fresh in my mind (early 2002, some early reviews thrown in as a bonus. You're welcome). Entry dates reflect my screening -- parenthetical dates are US release (aka Oscar eligibility) years.
    Yeah, a movie review blog isn't very original. But originality is overrated. Just ask Michael Bay.

Diner (1982)

I hate this self-absorbed boring group of guys. The only one mildly likable is Boogie (Rourke) and he's still crappy. And why did they "hide" the face of Elyse (Eddie's fiancee)? What a stupid device when we don't care about her at all. Anyone who'd agree to take a football trivia test so that her asshole fiancée will consider her worthy of marriage has got to be more desperate than can be considered reasonable.
