The General (1927)

Sorry I'm late to this review - schedules been a bit messed up this week due to my awesome wife and awesome brother appearing in awesome productions of The Vagina Monologues and Jekyll & Hyde respectively (he was Jekyll).  Next week's (this week's) movie will be delayed a few days and we'll be back on schedule by next weekend.

The General (1927)

Okay, this one was weird.  I'd never seen a Buster Keaton movie before, so I was really looking forward to this.  I was expecting something like the earlier Charlie Chaplin film we'd seen, only a different face.  I fully expected to really like it, because Buster Keaton is a really famous name; practically synonymous with comedy.

But....

This. Was. Stupid.
