Just watched A History of Violence. Um, wow. What a over-rated, melodramatic piece of crap. One of the astounding things about it is just how uniformly terrible the acting was throughout. William Hurt’s performance was worthy of an Oscar nod? And *this* was one of the best adapted screenplays? Was the Academy watching the same movie I just watched? There was no sense of verisimilitude at all, and the movie felt completely tensionless.

Yeck. What a horrible, horrible film.
