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.

Fright Night (2011)

Wastes no time letting you know that the nerdy teen spouting vampire theories is spot on: there is, indeed, a creature of the night in suburbia and keeping a low-profile isn't one of his priorities.

This was the perfect combination of ridiculous, funny, and scary -- I’m guessing that Buffy was more than a passing inspiration (having the Criss Angelesque illusionist's self-given title be “Vampire Slayer” only adds to this argument). Made me love David Tennant even more, if that was possible.
