Noise 1

Beth: so this is the Noise movie with Tim Robbins.  I like, and 100% identify, with the premise: New York is awesome, except for the constant car alarms that go on and on and on, all night long, right below your bedroom window.  I even remember a short-lived discussion with another poster of this blog on whether to alarm or not to alarm a new-to-us car, and it was my ear-ringing memories of NYC that had me arguing on the side of no fucking way.  So I was happy to view this movie with an actor i liked, acting nicely off-kilter.  At first.  Then someone decided that hollywood formulaic should be slapped into the middle of the thing, and it turned all stupid.  And then someone else must have taken over because quickly it devolved into G-rated disney-musical-predictive, gumball beyond belief.  It well deserved the stolid shunning that it got from us after that.  Sorry, Tim.  Score: 2/5, for the cause.
