My Average . . .

Rating: 1/10 (12 January 2016)

sucks right now, concerning the movies I've been watching. I've been seeing some real garbage, and if I were playing that silly version of poker where you try to get the worst hand possible, I would think that my movie choices, translated to poker, would make me some serious match sticks.
The latest addition to the list of trash is F. Gary Gray's Law Abiding Citizen, a movie that finds a perfect balance of cynicism and ludicrous plotting. I never once believed anything I was watching on screen, and, to make matters terminal, I was relieved when the credits rolled, mainly because I wouldn't have to look at Gerard Butler and Jaime Foxx for awhile.
LAC is a little like that movie I saw in 2014--12 Rounds(?)--it's so perfectly crafted to appeal to the intellectually not-quite- transitioned 14-year-old in the audience, the kid who grooves to the gore and the exaggerations and the general lunkheadedness of a movie directed by a guy who glorified drug gangs and their cheerleaders, rappers in the recent Straight Outta Compton.
I'm sure hoping my choice of flicks improves. Source Code has got me interested, and I think I can wrap it up tomorrow.
Keep your fingers crossed!
