Well we went to blockbuster last night, but there wasn't anything new I was interested. There was Sex in the City 2, but luckily I dodged having to watch that for another week.
We picked up a movie that looked decent enough from the cover. Saint John of Las Vegas. It had Steve Buscemi, that little fellow who was a writer in Elf, the black guy from 40 Year Old Virgin, and Sarah Silvermen. (If I did look up there names, I would have to further explain who they were anyways, so I saved you some time. Your welcome.)
The back cover explains "..oddball characters and outrageous twists in one of the year's most hilarious and original comedies." Lies...
Yes, the characters are indeed odd. But they only seemed that way because, 1. Steve Buscemi is always odd. and 2. it was poorly written, so the people came off weird.
Well played writers... Your ability to cover up your shitty skills by saying they are "oddballs" was genius.
Putting that aside, the movie just wasn't very good. The story was weak, and the ending anticlimactic.
You could just tell how low budget this movie must have been. It just could have been so much better. It had a few funny parts, but they were rare. The only thing I found entertaining was Buscemi. I could watch that guy wash his car and find it entertaining. It doesn't take much. Which just goes to show just how boring this movie was.
Anyhow, Buscemi is worth 3 points alone. The dwarf is typically good, so he's worth 1 point (but wasn't used enough in this.) And I'll give the story, umm .8.
So that's a 4.8 / 10.
