fine whine

I've begun to lose faith in the so-called "all movie guide" website (found at www.allmovie.com). They've led me astray before, but never so badly as when they called Prizzi's honor a "dark comedy" (being of "High Artistic Quality" no less). It was, you could say, a bit dark, but I didn't find myself laughing. Perhaps it was its "wickedly post modern"-ism that left me bored, but really this movie was an exercise in endurance to watch. Pain, perhaps.

Maybe I just missed the "subversive subtext" or something, but I'm not going to trust them nearly as much as I had before. This is not the first movie I'd hated that they'd loved, just the longest.
