Tonight Andi and I decided to rent Vantage Point from the iTunes store, because we didn't bring our DVD's back from Mt Macedon with us.
So far, it's crap. Despite it having a 90 minute run time, I get the feeling that they only wrote and shot 20 minutes and are now just playing it again and again in flashbacks, rewinds and other peoples points of view. While I expected the other peoples points of view interesting (which they sometimes are), since we've already seen everything twice, you don't need to have the guy flashback to a scene that was 2 minutes ago.
Also, apparently Forrest Whittaker can keep up with young, fit policemen who are in full pursuit of a suspect. Not only can he keep up, but he can film movie quality footage on his video camera while he does it. Then he can beat the policemen to find the suspect! Looks like he's buffer than he looks.
But no, seriously, this was a waste of $5 and 90 minutes of my life.
Edit: Apparently Dennis Quaid is an amazing rally driver who has found a magic self repairing Barina. Continuity, you're doing it wrong.
And not even 8 shots to the chest can kill the man with the super beard. And not even being sandwiched between a truck and a wall can kill Dennis Quaid. DENNIS QUAID IS HERE!

Seriously?
Dec. 20th, 2008 11:57 pmI just saw on IMDb that they're doing a remake of 10 Things I Hate About You. 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU?! The movie from 1999. The remake is supposedly coming out in 2009 and stars no one I've heard of.. The idea makes me feel slightly unwell...
Speaking of 10TIHAY, does anyone remember Alex Mack? I'd love to see that show again. And Captain Planet.
