I'm not too sure if I like the idea of them making a movie about one of the most infamous unsolved murders in history.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387877/ For some people who don't know who the Black Dahlia (aka Beth Short) is you can read about it on crime library I want to see it, though, because I'm interested in how they're going to portray the characters. |

This may find a new seat in my top ten worst films of all time. What a incoherent, busy, mess of an effort. Drama school acting, no direction, awful collection of red herrings, false starts, and embarrassing camp. De Palma sets a new low for himself; what a douche bag!
I encourage you: Do not see this noir-wannabe overdeveloped trash! Unless, of course, you like to torture yourself. |

Do you go into a movie theater with an open mind? Completely open mind? Yes. I know that was totally bad grammar. |

I absolutely adore film. My expectations of this film were nothing but poor. It was a De Palma film, Josh Hartnett was in it, the trailer looked pretty bad, and the buzz was enough to make me want to vomit. However, I don't allow my expectations to define a movie for me. I'm very open minded and take each film at face value. Many a time my expectations are blown away. This happened to be one of those situations. I was expecting simply a mediocre film, nothing too special, and in some cases, just plain bad. However, what I saw was beyond plain bad and sunk further below par than I could have ever imagined. It was awful beyond my expectations. Total shit, and I can say that having gone in with an open mind. For serious. But, also note, I'm a film snob. I have rather high standards in regions of film and a very defined, yet eclectic, taste. But, in my honest summation, this movie will be hated by the general public as well. But, don't take my word for it, sneak into a theater and see it.
