Recent Tweet from Reitman: "Fuck Paranormal Activity was scary. Freaked out whole gang. Felt bad for the folks who went home alone. Keeping my MagLight near the bed."
Well now, should we take that as a note that we won't be seeing his director's credit on Saw VIII? Thank goodness! I prefer his films to any horror flick any day and you won't see me at the box office buying a Saw ticket. Hell, you couldn't pay me to see a horror film. Why? Because I don't get the appeal and I have issue with films that marry killing, blood and gore with barely disguised excuses to show some young actress' ill-advised enhancement surgery. But that's just me. Obviously there seems to be a huge market for this. Sad commentary on the film viewing audience if you ask me. Okay, even if you don't ask me!
Here's an idea, maybe Reitman's next directorial project could be to direct Jennifer Aniston in film. She desperately needs a good project and good direction. How does one go from "The Good Girl" to "Love Happens?" Watching Jennifer in this film was like watching a plate of boiled potatoes. Bland, bland, bland.
And yes, I did say that I wasn't going to review films but I just feel the bucks I paid for this film were ill advised! Martin Sheen was woefully unused. He's a wonderful actor and I could have watched more of him. Hell, I could have watched more of the parrot! But that's just me.
