Garage Days
…ain’t so good. No surprise, really. The reviews weren’t favorable, but I thought I ought to give it a chance, as I quite liked “Dark City”.
The main problems was the dialog. The plot was rather hackneyed, but had some nice elements and even a couple of surprises (though it had more clunkingly obvious moments, really). But the dialog was irretrievably bad, trite and dull and pseudo-hip, delivered by people desparately eager to prove themselves and trying really very hard not to sound crap, which made it all worse.
The film was almost saved, however, by a rather charming little bit of schtick that went on over the closing credits. If you even found that you have accidentally rented this out, fast-foward to the end. You won’t regret it.
Personal life
Not really much to say, except that I’m currently consumed with guilt over Jennie’s birthday. I kinda remembered on the day (June 16) but didn’t do anything about it. And the same has happened pretty much every day since. Aargh! So slack!
