This blog was inspired by Max Beerbohm (August 24, 1872 – May 20, 1956) an English essayist, parodist, critic and caricaturist. He was once asked how he wrote his book reviews. He answered, "I look at the book, write the review and, if I like the review, I'll read the book." I sort of apply Max's approach to movies. Kind of like judging a book by its cover... only judging a movie by its trailer.

VIEWED: Shark Night 3D
Don't ask... okay I'll tell you anyway. I had 75 minutes to kill, alone, at a relatives house so I did a shameful thing... I turned on the television. I don't care much for TV shows that happen to be available on cable at 3:00 pm on a Tuesday afternoon. I flipped to the movie channels and guess what was available?
Here's what I said about it after reviewing the trailer...
"This looks to be, quite possibly, the dumbest movie of the year.... I haven't been this annoyed by a trailer since The Help. The difference is that The Help is probably a decent movie.... this one looks like crap. This film will disappear faster than Yahoo Serious. Save your money and rent Jaws and some soft porn."
The trailer won an inaugural Beerbohm award for worst trailer of the year...
If Forrest Gump saw it he'd say: Stupid is as stupid does.
If Forrest Gump was a critic, he'd say: Stupid stories make stupid movies.
If Forrest Gump wrote this blog, he'd say....
Worst trailer of the year turned out to be the worst movie I've ever seen.
