    The Electric State

    Tales from the Loop remade by people who think audiences are stupid, stripped of any semblance of interesting ideas, and run through the "Spielberg Feelings" filter until all that's left is cheap, incompetent imitation populated by recognizable faces (and voices).

    Most everything about this movie was working, and then Schwartzman pulled out the 6-pack of Narragansett tall boys. I lost it.

    So funny, yet so angry. Melvin van Peebles makes you think twice about laughing. He has a finger pointed at everybody.

    The film begins as a broad comedy before flipping to something much darker, though just as humorous.

    And oh, what a perfect ending.
