More from the guy discussed above (the type who watches something he didn't want to watch with his wife to be "sociable," and then runs and complains to the world about the experience and how the film made him feel like less of a man #-o ):
[The Crazies (2010)] is not too bad. The producers of the movie had an agenda in mind. They wanted to show that bad things can happen to peaceful middle class towns in fly over country, just as they happen to the liberal sinkholes on either coast. Of course this is manure, the reason the peaceful little towns in fly over country are peaceful is because the people work to keep them that way. Basically, the military attacks a peaceful town in Iowa because there is something in the water that makes people crazy. Why it just does not kill them is never explained. After that it just turns into the basic run, chase, kill we have all seen before. But the producers made sure to put in plenty of small town touches, like a baseball game, etc, so you would know that the tranquil life of middle America is not really so tranquil. But all of us here in fly over country know better. We will take our small town life, and you can keep all the crazies on either coast.
Suuuure. It's the
movie that has an agenda. Good point about how small-town people are immune to fictitious viruses while the liberal-infested coasts are not.
Oh, and
The Proposal:
Sandra Bullock is really getting a little long in the tooth for this type of role. This type of role has passed her by 10 or 15 years ago. It is time for Sandra to start seeking new material. This movie would have been more appropriate for a woman 30-35 years of age. Say, Reese Witherspoon. There is a scene in the movie where Betty White gives Sandra Bullock a fertility blanket, I suppose to help her procreate. Well, that blanket really has its' work cut out for it because at the time of this movie Sandra Bullock was 45 years old.
Yeah, I guess she's long overdue to be sent to the glue factory. I'm going to go wash my hands.
