Silent Hill (2006)
8/10
Enjoyably wacky
11 May 2006
Well, I went to see it, and it was pretty wacky. In fact, it was TOTALLY wacked-out, but quite enjoyable. Kind of a cross between "Dark City", "The Ring", "Constantine", and "End of Days" . . . on ACID.

Half the time it was hard to tell WHAT the f was going on, and yet, somehow, it all made sense, in a wacked-out sort of way, kind of like a dream. Good thing I had read that IMDb synopsis.

Actually, it was kind of nice to watch somebody ELSE'S nightmare -- I never have them myself.

Radha Mitchell thinks she's Naomi Watts . . . and she may be right. In any event, she wasn't unpleasant to look at. The lady motorcycle cop wasn't bad, too, in a butch sort of way.

And Alice Krige, who once played the BORG QUEEN, was there . . . playing the Borg Queen, sort of.

Now all I want to know is: What the parents-of-the-year who brought their little daughter with them to the theater at which I saw it were thinking. No big deal, I guess; they probably took her to "Basic Instinct 2", "The Devil's Rejects", "Hostel" and "Slither", too.

RB's recommendation: Definitely go see it, on acid, and, of course, take the kids.
