movie review - Hop

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2015.11.22

This is a lack-luster animated movie about the son of the Easter Bunny, who decides to move to LA and be in an obnoxious, self-indulgent, and boring movie. It's a mix of live-action and animation and if for some reason you're still reading, the titular character has a broad British accent.

Not recommended.

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
