Movie roundup
Blood Diamond – A decent action/adventure that thinks a bit too highly of itself.
Cashback – A strange movie that has absolutely no idea what it wants to be. Is this a romantic drama? A college sex comedy? A sci-fi erotica thriller? A pretentious arthouse film? I honestly don’t know. It defies genre categorization which would be a great thing if it weren’t so incohesive. It’s extremely well shot in portions, though, and I can’t say it was a complete waste of time.
Futurama: Bender’s Game – There is something horribly wrong with these Futurama direct-to-DVD movies. Yes, it’s still Futurama. But none of these movies have had enough energy to sustain their full running times. And they don’t work when split up into 30 minute episodes either. Just weak overall. I did get a few laughs out of it, though.
