This week's onion av club reviewed House of Wax. Here's an excerpt:
Much of the publicity around House Of Wax revolves around Paris Hilton's role, which can generously be described as minor, and her ephemeral celebrity proves distracting. After all, how scary would The Blair Witch Project be if Kato Kaelin were one of the terrified campers? In her few scenes, Hilton conveys the combination of boredom and vague annoyance that constitutes her one note. She can't even run right: When being chased by a mad slasher, she conveys all the desperation and urgency of grandma tiptoeing down to the kitchen for a midnight snack of milk and cookies.
I just laughed out loud. The av club is quite good with movies this week, they posted a "hopeful but none-too-enthused" movie guide for the summer. Hee.
