The predictability of stupidity
It’s my personal belief that there are no good movies released between the months of January and April. You wouldn’t find me inside of a theater at that time unless the movie is up for best picture at the Oscars. So, it comes at no surprise that Epic Movie took over the box office this weekend. Honestly, these four months are the cinematic wasteland that is used for mafia’s money laundering and for alimony checks.
However, it’s the best time to watch movies that were released in bigger cities in December. Sure, I have to travel an hour to see them, but most of the time it’s worth the trip. This was the case when I watched Pan’s Labyrinth last Thursday. It’s so engaging (especially for someone like me who is greatly interested in Franco Spain), and it’s a cleverly disguised war movie. Sure, there was the fairy tale aspect of it, but the family/revolution story was the most fascinating.
