Jowl finds Mr. 3000 a slightly above average hitter |
Just read Jowl’s review of Mr. 3000 over at Webmaster Cookbook. Besides learning how to build a website step-by-step he’s also learning how to blog.
Yesterday after the show we went to go see Mr 3000. It was quite interesting although I didn’t really like it. My rating is a C+, I would not go to see this movie again. Well it seemed to last a long time and in the end I didn’t exactly figure out why they made the movie.
I would give it a similar, but little lower rating, and I do understand why they made the movie. It’s all about timing in Hollywood and this is the time that people are getting excited over the various pennant races in Major League Baseball, so why not roll out a baseball movie or two and try to capitalize on the timing. I’m not a huge Bernie Mac fan myself, but from the trailer I foolishly believed that this movie would be better than it turned out. The movie needed many more laughs to offset the very unlikeable Barry Bondesque main character that Mac played. The ironic thing is these days 3000 hits doesn’t necessarily guarantee a player will make it into the Hall of Fame, and neither will this movie win any huge honors. Grade: C-
