MID-LIFE CRISIS: THE MOVIE

Not Playing in Singapore Movie Theatres:

Children of Men

Singapore cinemas do a good job of catering to real movie-lovers for the most part, but a decision like releasing Children of Men, the best science-fiction movie to come out of Hollywood this decade, direct-to-video is totally ridiculous. Besides being a truly excellent movie, it also has the most bold and innovative cinematography in years (300 ain't got nothing on this) and demands to be seen on the Big Screen.

Wild Hogs, on the other hand, doesn't deserve to be released at all. The trailer alone is cringe-inducing. If you listen carefully to the sound track, you can hear the flush of William H. Macy's career going down the toilet, the poor man.
