Mini-Review: Pretentious as it is, I think you have to have read some Cassady (specifically in this case, the Joan Anderson letter, the opening to which is, to my mind, one of the most brilliant paragraphs ever written) to really understand where this movie is coming from and what it's about. Personally, I'm a huge fan of Cassady's writing, so I quite enjoyed this film. But I know a lot more people who hated it than didn't.
Mini-Review: I really wanted this to be better than it was. Its relatively high grade is a product of my love of understatement and this film does that incredibly well. But I was so much more interested in what didn't happen that could have with regards to the mirror earth than I was in the relationship between John and Rhoda, which, unfortunately, was what the film is ultimately about.
Mini-Review: It's not quite 'Alexander' bad, but it's dangerously close. Apart from Henry Cavill's abs, there is nothing good about it. At all. In fact, it was so bad that I managed to make it through all of about 25 minutes before I gave up.
