a history of violence

so i've been hearing about this movie. it's supposed to be one on the best movies of 2005. according to the dvd cover, it was on over 150 top ten lists. this tells me two things: 2005 was a shitty year for movies, and the critics must've not have seen the movie that i just watched.

at the end of the movie, when the screen went black, i just stared at it for a moment with an incredulous look on my face like, "what the hell? is that it?" and the knuckle heads that made that mess knew they were wrong 'cause there was at least 10 seconds of black between the last scene and the credits. makes me wish i'd seen it on the big screen so i could have shared my dissappointment with fellow moviegoers.

oh, and i'll be adding this movie to my list of shitty (or just plain weird) movies with no black characters. not that i think one has anything to with the other, but it is a fascinating coincidence. other movies on the list: identity, and the hills have eyes. (more complete list to come.)

lesson learned... don't buy movies you haven't seen on dvd 'cause if it sucks you're stuck with it. oh well.
