![]() Let me start things off here by saying that I love Michael Bay. I like what he does. He gives me a summer spectacle that makes the hairs on my arms rise right up while simultaneously manipulating me into thinking I actually have feelings. I don't know how you guys are, but when Harry Stamper sends A.J. back into the ship and says, "Your job is taking care of my little girl now," well, my heart swelled and I was actually convinced Bruce Willis was going to die in real life. Whether you think Bay is a hack or not, one thing is undeniable, he knows how to direct the shit out of an action movie, and, with the first Transformers, he proved it.

So, as a lady, I've seen my fair share of chick flicks. And fine, sometimes I swoon at the cheesy romances, irrational plots and predictable denouements. I'm only human, after all. But sometimes, angry feminist Darcie rears her head and I breathe fire on movies I thought might become guilty pleasures but instead piss me off (Bride Wars, I'm looking at you). And, even sometimes, I am quite bored by chick flick rom-coms altogether (ie anything starring Mandy Moore). The Proposal, starring the adorable/ageless Sandra Bullock and the sexy/dry-witted Ryan Reynolds, made me swoon, I must admit. Shh...just don't tell anyone. Away We Go is a polarizing film. No, seriously, check out its review on Rotten Tomatoes and see for yourself. Some either call it a breath of fresh air, while others deem it arrogant and smug. The film is even polarizing for The Movie Press team. Both Greg and Clark let out a disinterested "meh" at the end of the film, while I was undoubtedly more affected. The Hangover strives to bring that old cliche to new heights, but when you're working off a cliche, your movie tends to become one as well. |
