PANS LABYRINTH Guillemero Del Toros latest movie which has
been given 5 star ratings in every review i have read AND has made the CANNES selection is released on Friday in the UK.
So i thought to myself.. "ok ill go see that movie on friday".
Think again Vintage because it AINT showing.
I check my local multiplex and whaddayaknow Bollywood atrocity DHOOM2 is showing on not 1..not 2...BUT 3 FRIKKIN SCREENS!!!!!!!!!!(theres a further two Bollywood flicks on show which kind of rubs salt in the wound).
Ive been here before..THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE and SLITHER were both given the bums rush in my city.I wouldnt mind if those two flicks were crap but they were both critically lauded and belonged on the big screen...im an old fashioned guy..i like to go to the cinema.
Now im not saying asian folk shouldnt be allowed a visit to the flicks but the majority of non asian people aint going to be interested in a Bollywood movie.
YET asian people get a choice of DHOOM2 or if they dont fancy Bollywood something more realistic and intelligent like say Barnyard or Over the hedge.
Now one of these flicks looks like cliched tripe whilst the other offers something truly original and visually stunning.
