- Bless the Child
(Reviewed July 16, 2000)
- Call me a wuss, but two hours of watching a cute little girl get tormented by a Satan-worshipping cult leader 'cuz she happens to be the new Jesus just ain't my cup of tea.
This dud
is
a really cheesy cross between "The Exorcist" and "Touched by an Angel." God himself makes three appearances that will leave you slack-jawed with disbelief that anyone in the year 2000 could put scenes
that
are so outright silly in what is supposed to be a Major Motion Picture. How star Kim Basinger ever won her Oscar two years ago is sure as hell beyond me, because the woman simply cannot act. (For
further
proof, see her other tedious bomb released this summer, "I Dreamed of Africa.") Rufus Sewell, great in "Cold Comfort Farm" and the VERY
underappreciated-by-the-monkey-minded-masses "Dark City," is wasted in this dud. Dismal, folks.
Dismal.
