Ugh...

Well, "Deadtime Stories" was like a warped version of "The Princess Bride."

It wasn't bad, on whole, with some actually very good make-up and special effects. The regeneration of a skeleton after a heart is inserted was particularly good.

What made the film disturbing was that the whole premise is that Uncle Charlie (or whatever) is telling this kid (who's 10 or so) these stories.

Well, lets ignore the fact that the first story (the best one) is a fantasy about witches and ghosts or whatever. The 2nd story is about a young girl losing her virginity while on her way to grandma's house. Sex in a storage shed.

The third story involved "Goldilocks" who is this hot blond who goes nude, has sex with "Baby Bear" (a slow retarded guy) and can control anything by staring at it and concentrating REALLY HARD.

80 minutes of bland entertainment.

One other point I wanted to make. For some godknowswhat reason "Match Point" was rated "R." Well, it was rated "R" for "Sexual situations" or something. I don't remember there being any swear words at all. No nudity. Yes, some hot sex scenes but nothing I haven't seen on a soap opera so I have NO IDEA what the panel was looking at.

Heck, it could have been rated G.
