Author Topic: Chronicle (2012) Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 02-06-2012 08:10 PM                        CINEMA: Rave Westroads 14, Omaha, NE AUDITORIUM: 3 PRESENTATION: Christie 2K DLP PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: Delayed start RATING: Two and one half stars (out of four) Scheduled start time: 11:50. At 11:50, an Allstate-sponsered "silence your cell phones and don't use them while driving either dipshit" slide (sorry...digital static image) appeared. Then it would blink like it was switching to the next ad, but it would be the same one. This went on for six minutes. About the time somebody walked out to complain, the Christie trailer started and everything went all normaly and stuff. THE PLOT: Some teens find a glowy thingie. Wackiness ensues. Another one of those 'pretend it was shot on video' movies made on the cheap, but it's a pretty good one. Basically, three teenagers stumble upon super powers, have fun with them, then things get dark when the fun starts to get out of hand. I might have gone three stars if it weren't for the intentional video look. I'm in a movie theatre, assholes. Show some respect for your product.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-09-2012 04:17 PM                        What a dumb title.

You know what's funny? I kept forgetting the title and had to keep looking it up. When I approached the box office, I had to check the reader board because I could only remember that it started with a "C". Same was true even after seeing it...I had to check the box office updates for the name again before posting my rating on Facebook and Twitter, and yet again when writing the review here after I got home.  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 02-10-2012 11:22 AM                        I've had many "interesting" phone conversations when someone calls to ask what's playing. I think the most confusing one was "It's Complicated". "What's playing?" "It's Complicated." "Oh. Well, could you just tell me the title?  |  IP: Logged
