Splice
We went to see Splice this past weekend. It's crazy that the last movie I saw in the theatre was Kick Ass. Usually by this time tons of films have come out for summer movie viewing that I have wanted to see. Not so this year. There is simply awful stuff out. And I don't think I'm alone there. Box office receipts are apparently their worst in a dozen years. There doesn't seem to be an original idea to be had (Robin Hood, Sex And The City 2, Nightmare On Elm Street, Iron Man 2, Shrek 56). Splice seemed intriguing from the previews. And although I did enjoy it, those previews were totally misleading. It's not a horror movie at all really... more a science fiction. It made more sense that actors like Sarah Polley and giant-beaked Adrien Brody would be a in 'horror movie' when you see that it really isn't. But it was enjoyable.
