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

The Quiet American (2002)

Amazing only in its ability to bore me silly. Caine's nominated acting couldn't be taken down any further…he's nearly sleepwalking. The object of his affection is a bland mannequin -- that two men are supposedly fighting for her affections requires excessive suspension of disbelief. Read the next line with dripping sarcasm: I'm totally buying Brendan Fraser as a master manipulator for the U.S. government.
