ZERO STARS!This movie, 88 Minutes, starting Al Pacino and a host of B list celebrities, was terrible. Laughable.
Ridiculous. Stupid. Do you even want to know anymore?
The premise of this movie is that this forensic psychologist's testimony put a man in jail for a brutal rape/torture (yes, the movie opened with this and it was uncomfortable). Well, fast forward 9 years and it's the day the man is to be executed and all of a sudden another murder with the same M.O. happens. Which of course raises doubt that this man was the real killer and he gets a stay of execution. Well Al Pacino gets a phone call and says "you have 88 minutes to live" and for the next roughly 100 minutes we watch what could best be described as this guy's "worst day ever" and it's laughable, ridiculous, and corny. We only finished the movie because we had to know what happened. Let's just say it was dumb. Really really really dumb. OMG it was dumb. So the movie ends, and I turn on Monday Night Football and feel a little better. But still, it's on the list of terrible movies like Wicker Man and Twisted. Blech!

Please tell me how my darling Ben McKenzie played into this film. I had a feeling it was horrible, and ever since he hugged me in person I can't bear to watch him in anything but awesomeness...
Oh, sorry, he was totally worthless in this movie. Like terrible acting...it was so bad. So bad...
I might cry now.
Oh, and it's awesome that you read my blog. I can't remember how we started upon each other. I think I found you on blogcatalog (not knowing that I actually knew you). In fact, it wasn't until awhile later that I realized we knew each other.
Strange, huh?
I enjoy your blog as well. Now that I've got you on my sidebar, I'm going to be more actively commenting on yours. :)
