Nothing but Crazy...

67. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966)- So I was pretty excited about this movie. For one it was not a western. And two I had never seen it before. Silly me, I thought I would enjoy watching it. Ugh... I can completely understand why all four actors in this movie were nominated for academy awards. I can understand why critics would like it and I understand how significant it is. I mean, HELLO, its on the list of the 100 best movies. However, purely from an enjoyment standpoint this movie blew! It was awkward and uncomfortable. The basic premise is Elizabeth Taylor and Robert Burton's characters are married and invite a younger couple over for drinks at 2:30 in the morning. The first of many unusual events in this movie. It made me feel like these guests were having drinks with a dysfunctional couple of serial killers! There was so much bickering you could not even understand what they were saying half the time. I could barely say anything to my husband because if I did you would miss a whole dialogue! This movie had to be one of the strangest most dysfunctional disturbing movies I have ever seen. I am just not a fan of fake killings (of many kinds), affairs, non-stop babbling, and confusion beyond belief. I really do not like movies that do not explain things. Once it was over I felt like I knew less than when it started! TWO BIG THUMBS DOWN!
