Waiting for something better
As a personal rule, I do not watch movies that are released before May. Typically, the movie studios releases pieces of junk that I believe fund the mafia or pornographers. Theaters never see me. I even don’t rent the movies once they’re released on DVD.
This year, my little cinematic desire wants to break that rule. I really want to watch The Inside Man. The movie poster is awesome, the cast is great and I haven’t seen a Spike Lee movie in eight years. However, here’s the tagline from the movie:
It looked like the perfect bank robbery. But you can’t judge a crime by its cover.
Doesn’t this scream out, “Don’t watch this cliché of a movie!â€? It looks like 16 Blocks falls in the same category. It’s great to see designers being used to make great posters, but it’s a shame if they’re being used to disguise bad content.
