   Still haven’t seen “Crossing Over.”

   Oh Jonathan, how you depress me. The title alone just about brings me to tears with the lack of anything remotely resembling artistic inspiration.

   You know, I even kind of like Brendan Frasier on some levels (Bedazzled was awesome – and I remember thinking Blast from the Past was kind of funny).

   This hurts and I can’t seem to stop commenting about it.

   Don’t bother. You can tell it was sloppily thrown together following the success of Crash and the fact that it was held onto a few years before it was eventually released should have been a sign enough, but I’m a Harrison Ford completest, and had to watch it. He himself was good in it, but the script… I can’t imagine anyone reading the script and thinking, “This is what I should be spending my time on!” It hurt my heart.

   For every good performance he manages to pull off though, he makes ten Monkeybones or Mummy sequels. There are few movies I despise more than those Mummy movies.

   Blast from the Past had its moments: notably the scenes with Christopher Walken, “Oh my lucky stars, a negro” and Brendan Frasers other early interactions with the modern world, and the jazz dance sequence.

   Gods & Monsters. Fraser holds his own. He’s also passable in The Quiet American.

   I love Frasier but he really needs to hire a new agent. Oh sigh.

   Fraser is awesome a very little known 90s flick called The Passion of Darkly Noon. Also starring Viggo Mortensen and Ashley Judd. It’s a major WTF movie.

   Crossing Over is a prime example of what happens when good a good ensemble of actors fall into a really really horrible script.

   You forgot to read the rest of the synopsis, Jon!

   “Then he dons a fedora and battles the evil communist regime before successfully saving Fraser’s children and destroying the Death Star, rendering the galaxy safe for all yet again.”

   Please, do a little research before you start bashing this film!

    @Ashley “Fraser is awesome a very little known 90s flick called The Passion of Darkly Noon. Also starring Viggo Mortensen and Ashley Judd. It’s a major WTF movie.”

    the director of The Passion of Darkly Noon recently put out a new one, Heartless, which is getting off the charts good reviews at festivals at the moment. It stars Jim Sturgess.

    I noticed the listing for Heartless on IMDb about a week ago, but didn’t realize it was already on the circuit. I’ll have to watch out for it, thanks for the heads up.
