I know I've said it before, but here I go again. Another triumphant return to my blog lies before me as I've been asked to continue writing. I thought about it for a while, and then I decided it would fun to do something productive for once. When I started working, I made a pact with myself to start nourish my interest in films/movies (not sure which I prefer). Once a day, after working ever so hard, I downlo.. *cough* acquire a seemingly interesting movie. Today I'll be reviewing "God Bless America".

Frank is a middle-aged man who has yet to find his place in society. Everything in his life seems to be going to hell without him being able to fix it. He's divorced, his daughter resents him, and he hates his job. Frank spends most of his time in front of his television, channelsurfing in hope to find a program suitable for him. But he cannot find anything in his taste since it's American television, and Frank's an intelligent man who doesn't find joy in the humiliation of the "weaker".
- Then... why is he watching?

Oh, I forgot to tell you that one. Franks' neighbours recently got a baby that won't stop crying and the walls separating their homes are paper thin. This makes Frank unable to sleep at night, which, in turn, makes him watch the TV. Not only do the neighbours disturb his sleep, they are also very unfriendly.

So? let's get to the story!

Fair enough. Frank is informed by his doctor that he's terminally ill and has but weeks to live. Frank takes this very hard, and decides to take his own life. But the second before he shoots himself, he sees an ingrateful teenager yelling at her parents for not getting the right car on her "sweet sixteen". In the heat of the moment, Frank pulls away the gun and decides he will murder the young girl before killing himself.

After executing the girl, Frank is confronted by Roxy, a young girl who admires his doings. She persuades him to continue this killing-spree of people who are "unworthy" of living in this world - That is, they kill those annoying bastards we all hate! Just remember, it's with a comical touch, and we shouldn't get inspired by this movie, only amused.

Joel Murray is very convincing in his role as Frank. Even though he's a completely newcomer for me (Haven't seen him before), he really made an impression on me. Good ol' cranky man.

The movie was amusing, but not brilliant. It will make you laugh and think about the world we live in today, or perhaps you will just enjoy people being shot because they suck. I really don't have much more to add in this review, so it's up to you to decide whether it seems worthy of your time or not.

The rating for "God Bless America" is 6/10.
