Tuesday was a very rainy, miserable day in Boston so my co-worker and I decided to go to the movies. I hadn't read a movie review in a couple weeks so we unfortunately ended up seeing Vantage Point. Wow was that a mistake. It was laughable to say the least. I actually was laughing through the last scene, obviously a scene that was supposed to be a touching moment between William Hurt and Dennis Quaid. Sigourney Weaver was completely miscast as a no-nonsense network news producer. It might as well have been Kirsten Alley as we never saw anything below Sigourney's chest the entire movie. Is Sigourney going to be hawking Jenny Craig Soon? What's goin' on? Then you have Forrest Whitaker who, I am sorry to say, I just don't understand his appeal. It looks like his droopy face is as pliable as play-doh. For that reason alone, I can't take him seriously. AND THEN you have Matthew Fox. Please, Jack- Go back to LOST. The island needs you. And PLEASE don't ever try to pass off speaking some line in Spanish as credible acting. Oh you were atrocious.
Phew... sorry that has been building up for a couple days. Please don't see Vantage Point. We should have seen The Spiderwick Chronicles- Freddie Highmore can't do anything wrong in my mind.
