Been there, done that

Rating: Null/10 (1 August 2003)

I liked this movie the first time I saw it... except it was called "Seconds", starring Rock Hudson, and directed by a real filmmaker, John Frankenheimer. Cameron Crowe's films are nearly unwatchable! No, scratch that. They are unwatchable, badly acted, badly edited. A good name for it would be "George Lucas Syndrome"- it is what happens when you start to believe your own hype and don't have any creative forces around you that challenge you, instead of mindless "yes-men". The only thing I liked about this movie was Jason Lee, who I could watch in any movie any day of the week, and Noah Taylor, ditto for him. In fact, these two should star in a movie together. Just find someone else to direct them.
