Bunglers and Haters

Daulton Dickey reviewed "The Bunglers," a locally produced movie, for Film Threat, and uh, well, just read it.

Ouch.

In other news, the Internet Movie Database lists 134 titles that were filmed at least partly in St. Louis, including such classics as "I Spit On Your Corpse, I Piss On Your Grave." Allow me to recommend "The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery" for your viewing pleasure. It was one of Steve McQueen's first movies, and the action centers around Southwest Bank at Kingshighway and Southwest. There are also lots of shots of Tower Grove Park.

So...are movie reviews always supposed to be so poorly written? I mean, the author's feelings on the movie aside, this thing is about as painful to read as broken glass is to eat.

I'm not great writer, so I'm probably a poor judge here, but I always thought words were supposed to be arranged in a way that doesn't cause migranes.

The irony of my typo above has not escaped me...

I second Brian's recommendation of "The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery." The film's psychological development of the characters is very sophisticated. It's a neglected American classic.
