Um... hello? Is anybody home in movie-viewing land? How the hell does Kangaroo Jack take top spot at the box office this past weekend?! Holy crap, that movie looked so pathetic in the trailer, I couldn't imagine sitting through the whole thing. It only garnered a 9% (out of 100%, people) on RottenTomatoes. Now, I did not see it, and won't see it, so why the hell am I ranting here? Because! Because there are a multitude of well-crafted, rarely-seen movies out there and the studios push out and hype this big ol' turd! How could it possibly be good? A kangaroo that raps and steals money from the mob?! Who's got the dirt on the people in charge of greenlighting this film? They must have something really incriminating. Damn, what about all those indie films that only saw release on a few screens? What about foreign films crafted with care and passion (ie: Bread and Tulips? Lagaan? etc) -- surely, there are another 49 films of higher quality for every one like this.
