Catwoman Poster

Non-actor Halle Berry jerks her way thru' this CGI filled cat fart that was shat on by viewers and critics alike. You already know the story, she's a superhero (who this time narrates from beyond the grave) and she dresses and acts like a pussy. Patience Phillips (Halle) is a put upon geek working for Sharon Stone's face-cream company. A company that is poisoning its customers with bad face-goo. Halle finds out and is killed by being blown out of a sewage pipe.

But, just before you can leap about in celebration, she's brought back to life by the power of Bast (the Egyptian cat-god) and becomes a vengeful, crap, badly animated computer sprite unworthy of inclusion in a PS1 game. The FX are overbearing and awful and they take up most of the running time so.... that's right, even kitty loving kids would find it a massive chore to watch for more than 10 seconds. Big budget, magic cats, more CGI and little else.

You may howl in pain, but I like bad, plotless, wastes of over-priced crud and there's few movies more expensively vacuous, over edited and embarassing as this. Watch and cringe as Halle cuts her own hair, kisses catnip and pretends to be a cat. The director should change his name to Pissoff and you, my feline friend can use the DVD case as a litter tray.

I have never understood how

I have never understood how this script made it all the way into a big-budget movie. I've only seen bits and pieces of the film, but it's so very, very bad. Nevermind Halle Berry.  How the hell did she ever win an Oscar?

John Rogers has a hilarious blog at kfmonkey.blogspot.com. Some great posts in the Catwoman aftermath, for ex:

John: Actually, I haven't even seen the movie.
Partygoer: What?
John: Yeah, I read the final draft that came a year or so after I left, for the arbitration, but I missed the premiere, and never went to see it theaters. The one tiny shred of my artistic integrity I can take out of that process is that I've never actually seen the movie.
Andy: (passing) Isn't that like Hitler saying he's never actually visited the camps?
John: ... bastard.

With a review like that how I can I pass this one up!

I guess I am one of the few

I guess I am one of the few who actually liked this movie. AND I would even watch it again!
But then again, I always have enjoyed a good revenge story (perhaps I live vicariously through them.)

We all love revenge stories!

We all love revenge stories! But damn. This is a revenge story based on revenge against evil makeup.

That's a hilarious blog, ronbo. Smile  Godwin'd at a party.

There's also the obvious

There's also the obvious question as to why pay money for the license to use DC Comics' Catwoman if you aren't actually doing a movie about that character at all...
