After procrastinating all day and yesterday, and realizing that I couldn't use Werner Herzog's suggestion that "Academia is the death of cinema" as an excuse to avoid thinking critically, I finally sat down and wrote my review of Palindromes. I think it's missing a closing paragraph or two, however.
Stay tuned next week, when I hopefully will be able to provide some insight into how a project this challenging got off the ground in the first place...
UPDATE: I figured I might as well provide feedback on the movies I won't be reviewing this weekend.
Crash: I've seen Magnolia, and Crash, you ain't no Magnolia. Or Short Cuts. Or even Million Dollar Baby,for that matter, which was accused by its detractors of everything that this film is guilty of by a much greater margin. I really don't understand why the critics are loving on this film so much.
Kingdom Of Heaven: So. Boring.
House Of Wax: Why on earth did I even bother to sit through this? Oh yeah, I was procrastinating. See the extremes I go to?
So yeah, see Palindromes, if you haven't.

I know, I know. I didn't pay for it, if it's any consolation. The only thing I lost was two precious hours of life.
