Did Your Sister Eat Your Momma?

While sifting through a stack of DVDs at work today, my eye caught a particular quote on the back of the movie Kiss the Girls starring Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman. The critical praise stated that the film was "A roller-coaster ride of thrills and chills. Think Seven times seven."

Now, even if you've never seen Seven, you know this statement couldn't possibly be true. It's like saying a brussell sprout is more delicious than a hot fudge sundae. But wait, here's the best part: the quote comes from one Anne Marie O'Conner of Mademoiselle Magazine. If ever there were a credible source for accurate film critiquing, boy howdy, she's it. Just because Morgan Freeman was in yet another psychological thriller, this does not necessarly make Kiss the Girls not one, not two, but seven times better than Seven... which is, by the way, one of the best thrillers every made. Don't insult The Finch by comparing his masterpiece to yet another half-baked Ashley Judd-driven vehicle. And leave the movie reviews to people who appreciate movies! Roger Ebert isn't covering your fashion shows, bitch.
