I am not one of those who need my movies all neat and tidy and happy and uplifting. But dang, after watching The Road, I really want to just watch a Sandra Bullock rom-com marathon to wash the gloom and doom out of my system. The movie is basically about Aragorn in a post-apocalyptic world trying to protect his young son from cannibals. And as the movie marched on, you knew there can be no good ending to come of this. I mean, as much as I hoped, there was going to be no Gandalf who's gonna sweep in on his white horse and make everything all right. Aragorn won't help get his little Hobbit to his destination this time to save the world. From the first frame of the movie, Evil already won. So I have no idea what the point is.
Next movie on my reactivated Netflix queue: Hot Tub Time Machine!!! Woohoo.
