3:00 PM: Godspeed (Saitzyk, 2009) - 25 / con (-)
Alert; some pretty Alaskan scenery (all that saves this from being squarely in CON territory) isn't enough to carry a thriller. This laughable religious allegory has extraordinarily stilted dialogue, over-the-top performances, and some of the more awkward dramatic momnts I've seen in some time. The ideas behind Godspeed - that religion breeds major hypocrisy (smoking, drinking, infidelity) - aren't bad at all, but the execution is mostly exceedingly painful to watch.
