Movie Review: Reflections (1984)
Reflections (1984)
Director: Kevin Billington
Runtime: 100 min
Dark Soup Rating: Avocado Roll
Reflections is one of those movies that makes you sit up in your chair and exclaim, “look at me! I’m watching a movie!” At least, that was my reaction. I guess it’s technically possible that your reaction would be slightly different (you might mention White Russians in there somewhere) but the gist of it should be the same.
The movie is the story of the reflections that live in pools of water, and their thrilling but short-lived lives. They experience wetness and the roller coaster ride of ripples on the water’s surface, but do they ever know true love? Do they ever eat sushi and cry out, “look at me! I’m eating some sushi!”? If this movie is telling us the truth, then no, they don’t.
Now I, on the other hand, am not a reflection in the water. I was certainly capable of eating sushi as I watched the movie, and was certainly capable of falling in love, either with the sushi or the girl who e-mails me exciting offers for excellent mortgage rates. I haven’t decided which one is my true love yet, but I’m young and planning on living forever, so I’m not in any big rush to make these decisions.
The sushi has several things going for it. It’s raw and uncut, and television has told me that those are two very important traits for human females to possess. On the other hand, most sushi is so much tinier than I am that I might roll (no pun intended) over on it in my sleep and kill it. I would hate to kill the sushi in my sleep if it was my true love.
So that’s what I know about Reflections. On a scale from one to ten, I rate this movie to be an avocado roll.
Thank you for staying to watch my movie review. Stay tuned next time when I will sit through another movie about something and then tell you all about it. These are exciting times we live in when such a thing is possible.
