Reds
6/07: When I think of absolutely overrated films, I think of Reds.

What a tremendously long piece of work. Are you kidding me that I sat through this boring bullshit for three hours and twenty minutes?

The problem with Warren Beatty is his constant look of disbelief as in "what the heck am I doing here?" Only if he would take some acting lessons and try to change it up in terms of facial emotion, it's possible that depths of humanity could be reached for this serial womanizer. But when I look in his eyes, I've concluded that there's no hope.

All in all, Reds is a long, overblown Russian soap opera about nothing important.
