movie review - Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2001.09.16

I'm well pleased that we saw this at the discount cinema for $4.50 a head, cos it wasn't worth a dime more. It has an immensely predictable plot, it's riddled with unexplained behaviour from characters that ensure a predictable plot, and it's a touch boring in some critical areas. I doubt this one had less than two dozen people contributing to the 'writing'.

Not recommended.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
