Stone(d) gets another gig
It would seem that my thinking was off: the insane Oliver Stone has found more work after the disastrous Alexander.
I broke down and rented Alexander over the weekend. What a disaster of a movie. Unbelievably bad in every category. The story was a mess, the characters non-compelling, the editing kept yanking you out of the moment to show you meaningless flashbacks, Colin Farrell was a simpering wimp nobody would follow into a coffee shop much less into a battle, the art direction was third-rate, the cinematography boring, the visual FX done on the cheap. A total wreck, the kind of movie you see only because you can't believe it can be this bad.
This direct-to-DVD B movie was better in most ways than what Stoned put on the screen.
