My friend Mark asked whether his analysis of the cult film The Room would make it to my blog. Well, Mark, not only will your review of that, but so will your comments on Wanted. :)
The Room was more than I had hoped for. I did develop a conspiracy theory about The Room before i saw it and the film confirmed my suspicions.
Tommy Wiseau is a naive fella with a decent heart, but some inner craziness. A woman used him for a long time and tried to dump him several times but he completely missed the cues, etc so she just cheated on him with his best friend... more than once. In his despair, Tommy worked tirelessly to secure funding to make a film to show the world what an evil whore she is.
And the movie was born.
Seriously, the movie confirmed all of this for me.
I saw a truly awful movie this weekend. Wanted with James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman (why, Morgan, why?). I did enjoy the action sequences (except for the ones where bullets went through brains). But the dialogue and plot were aimed towards losers who think they are God's gift to bad-asses. It was so bad that I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth to enjoy the visually stunning action sequences.
