Review of The Last Winter (2006) by Haley P — 12 Jul 2009

Sloooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww as molasses! And so not worth all the time to watch it. If you liked "An Inconvenient Truth" you'll like this movie. If you believe you have a carbon footprint, you'll like this movie.

Otherwise it's a really slow, poorly acted film about the horrors of Global Warming and how mother earth is going to kill us using ghost beasts of the past who were released when the artic started to melt.

Again, bad acting. Story wasn't all that good either. You don't really know what's going on.

And then the whole Oooh if you're not a tree hugger you're bad!!! thing got really old after awhile. Like trying to split politics into one of two categories: all republicans are Ann Coulter and all liberals are Michael Moore. Such generalities are really lame. The lead characters were totally unredeeming. The only characters I liked where the cook and a Native American scientist. Otherwise, Connie Britton's character Abby was just "whatever" about everything. Fence sitting. Ron Perlman did a horrible job of over-acting on the non-tree hugger role (lots of swearing, lots of fist pounding because he couldn't get his big rig trucks up in the melting arctic) and James LeGros could barely open his mouth to perform his role as the supposed redemptive out to save the earth guy. I think I liked his character because in the end he did try to save everyone and I'm not as callous about saving the earth as I seem, I just hate having it shoved down my throat.

I drive a Hemi and I love it.
