Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time

princeofpersia2_largeI'm sorry, you've caught me at a bad time. You see, I am only now sitting down to write about the Prince of Persia  film. It has been nearly two weeks since I attended that midnight screening and the time in between has robbed me of many details leaving me merely with some recollections, perceptions, and delusions of reality. This being he absolute truth leaves me with the reality of writing a review that I probably should not be. Anyway, I am soldiering on and recalling the best I can to write a review of a movie I cannot say I particularly care for.

Movie Review: The Collector

thecollector1_largeAs the closing credits began to role, I heard a fellow down the row from me mutter: "Thank God." He proceeded to gather his belongings and quickly exit the auditorium. I think it is safe to say that he did not particularly care for the movie. His distaste was seemingly shared by many in the relatively small crowd, as most folks left quickly and quietly. Not many people lingered over the credits. I did for a little while, as that is my usual process. I want to allow at least some of the folks who worked on the film be recognized for their work, regardless of how good the movie is. Many of these non-star, behind the scenes folks are focused on doing their job the best they can with no one phoning it in and they deserve to be recognized for that. Otherwise, I agree with the first guy to leave the theater, The Collector is not a good movie. In fact it is pretty awful and one of the worst films I have seen this year.
