Stale Popcorn in this incarnation no longer exists. To experience all that I am offering (...oh dear) head on over to the new Stale Popcorn.

Underrated Movie of the Week
The Cell, 2000, dir. Tarsem Singh, starring Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn, Vincent D'Onofrio, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Dylan Baker, Jake Webber, Tara Subkoff and Jake Thomas.
This movie was pretty much an explosion on my senses.
People give "style over substance" movies a hard time, but I'd rather see something like this than a bad movie that's only good in people's eyes because it's "about" something.

Stale Popcorn, noun, 1. A veritable cornucopia of movie geekdom, celebrity worship, Australian film discussion and all with occasional musical interludes! All wrapped up in the salty buttery taste of movie popcorn that's been sitting in the box for too long. What's not to love?

oh! I've seen this one! And it is underrated. Good choice,
total mixed bag of a movie but the art direction and performancees are totally respectable.
