Alexander the somewhat less than mediocre

Ferlotta and I went to see "Alexander" last night. It wasn't as bad as you've probably heard, but it was certainly bad enough that I wouldn't recommend paying to see it. A lot of folks complained about the "faggitization" (to quote a guy in a local paper) of Alexander by Oliver Stone, but that's not the reason to avoid the movie.....I'ts just--well, bad...There's no shortage of over-acting, the film is edited/slapped together in an annoying, choppy manner, and several of the performances were less than inspired (I won't even go into the rant about the mish-mash of accents). Not awful, but certainly not good, it's a lot of pretty pieces, plus several ugly pieces, crammed together to make a moderately unappealing whole.
