And Now, a Two-Word Review
…of Nicolas Cage disaster flick Knowing:
“Rapture porn.”
I’m glad I’m not alone in thinking this way; Ty Burr at the Boston Globe positively nails it. Though his score of 1.5 stars is, I believe, too generous.
I am often disappointed by movies, but I am rarely disgusted, and almost never actually offended. Knowing pulled off a hat trick with its impressively bad writing, acting, and heavy-handed allegory. After that it’s hard to care how technologically impressive a film may be.
Avoid at all costs.

This was weeks ago and I am still shocked at how bad this movie is. I think it may have replaced “Autumn in New York” as the worst movie I have ever seen.
But what if I really like fire?
