YOU DON'T KNOW JACK

So this weekend HBO had the movie on about Dr. Jack Kevorkian's life called You Don't Know Jack.  I probably wouldn't have watched this movie except for the fact that Al Pacino was in it and I love watching him yell in his movies.  If you don't believe me watch anything that he has made in the last 15 years and you will see him yelling at places that he doesn't even need to yell at.  It's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Well, this movie is about how Dr. Kevorkian got his start and how he assisted in the suicides.  Let me say that I made it about an hour and a half through this movie and I was bored out of my fucking tree.  Lots of medical mambo jambo in the movie and legal stuff as well.  I had a feeling that it was going to be like this but I was hoping that Pacino would save the day by yelling a little bit, and he really didn't.  Instead he had some shitty Fargo like accent and showed just how controlling and freaky this doctor is.  It's another one of these movies that I hate, you know the kind that make you want to think.  The movies that make doctors and science take on the belief system of religion.  How doctors try to play God even though they don't believe in God.  I know that this movie is going to be on HBO for the next year or so instead of seeing cool movies like Fight Club, or Snatch and for that I'm going to go ahead and tell you that I HATED this movie.  Now I'm going back into my room and turning on Showtime, I think that they are showing Kill Bill again.
