Movie of the Week: First Snow

I really wanted to like this movie but alas, I could not.


Guy Pearce was great. He's always great that couldn't save this drivel.

Once Jimmy (Pearce) finds out that he is destined to die before the "first snow" ends by a fortune teller (J.K. Simmons), the movie picks up the pace a little bit but eventually all of Jimmy's paranoid actions get confusing and boring even though you can tell that the director, Mark Fergus, was going for tense and mysterious.

The end was as anti-climatic as the end of a movie could possibly be.

Everyone who complained that the end of Children of Men was anti-climatic needs to sit through this and apologize to Cuaron.

Thank God this was a free screening.
