Remember Oscar season 2010-11? Remember we had to keep caring about The Fighter? I can't believe how long we had to care about The Fighter. For me it was the Cold Mountain of 2011. The louder you squawked, the better your Oscar chances. Did you wave your hands frantically a lot of the time? Did you steal your accent from an SNL table read? See you at the dais. Anyway, I'm still sore with Mark Wahlberg, and I'm approaching the international trailer for his new movie Contraband with that rancor. It comes out in January, so it has to be laughable. Let's laugh.
Ugh, it's too conventional to be laughable. We did get a glimpse of his good vibrations (abdominals), which is nice. But who can drop a chortle when we're still dusting off debris from Melissa Leo's dance with Kirk Douglas? Who can move on? We can't. Kate Beckinsale, you seem like a nice person, and I'm sorry I'm not sorry.
Verdict: Contrabland
