Thumbs Down

Stars can never guarantee A movie will be good, Nor can advertisements Which come out of Hollywood. Is it worth one’s time to see A top-notch actor acting In a film so bad the few good scenes Become distracting? Don’t the actors realize That this flick’s not up to snuff? Maybe earning so much money Justifies enough. Still, it’s disappointing When performers choose to star In a movie for which somebody Has clearly dropped the bar.

That's why I don't go to movie theaters anymore. Movies cost almost as much as a ballgame these days. I wait until the flick comes out on BluRay or DVD. Good write as usual Ilene.
