Weekend Movie Review

Aug 26, 2000 11:48am CST tags: Wack News
Haven't seen one of these for a bit (both Steve and I have been busy for the past couple weekends), so let's resurrect it here with The Cell. The movie was quite entertaining, but not too much beneath the surface. If you look under all of the special effects and strange dreams, you actually see a pretty formulaic Hollywood treatment of psycho killer people. The script itself just wasn't very clever at all. But the wacekd out stuff when in the minds of others made the movie watchable. Basically, the movie's a two hour music video sans music. But make no mistake, it is fun to watch. The acting and such were done well enough, with my main complaint being how underused Vince Vaughn was.
