Chronicle

120211 ChronicleMix one lonely,  bullied and abused teen with  a full cup of  Sci-Fi-Origins-of-a- potential-Super-Hero flavoring,  some actors you’ve never seen before, and Blair Witch-type videography -  if this recipe appeals to you, you’ll enjoy Chronicle.  I  do not understand how out of 4 possible flicks  for me to choose from to  see today that this was the only  one with any  “pro” critic’s rating of 100. I give it a 5 out of 10. Some parts of this are brilliant but  I neither seek nor desire a sequel.  Half the  theater laughed through  a quarter the movie,  and I definitely don’t think that was  the original intent. And no,  I didn’t think  it was that funny either. Your Mom & Dad would probably largely see it as pointless,   though  I didn’t rate it lower because it is entertaining; I just wish, yes, I’d seen Safe House or Journey instead. OK for my kids when they were 14 or older.  And  no it won’t make it into  my movie library.
