Movie #52........................."Duck Season"

Movie #52 "Duck Season"----Barton Fink as a comedy? dumb, dumb, dumb. Long passages of two kids playing with their hair, looking up at the ceiling, playing video games, showing the footage of the video games, the electricity goes out and more sitting around. I sat through 30 minutes --- 30 minutes of my life that I have now lost watching this movie ---- and it's in black and white, no less. Why? I missed the point here, but then I don't get why there's a duck season either................and this film got 90% on rottentomatoes.com (It's a wonderful life got 93% so something is wrong!) so I guess that website CAN be wrong. I fast forwarded it to the end and you'll never guess what the last shot is? the one boy leaves to go home, and the other sits and looks at the ceiling (tick, tick, tick) and then just leaves the room and the camera stays shooting the couch (tick, tick, tick) Give me a break!

What begins as another ordinary, quiet Sunday spirals into a chaotic adventure for two teens left home alone. Equipped with their usual video games, best friends Flama (Daniel Miranda) and Moko (Diego Catano) settle in for a pleasant, if predictable, afternoon. But an unexpected encounter with an alluring adolescent neighbor and the intrusion of an idiosyncratic pizza deliveryman conspire to make the day a memorable occasion.

I gave it one star.
