Half Nelson 2: Throwing Desks with the Guy Who Kissed Halle Berry*

Seriously though, I don’t know about this…it looks a little martyry. I’m neither here nor there when it comes to Adrien Brody and I haven’t seen American History X, so I don’t really know what to expect from a “Tony Kaye Talkie”. Other than cringing every time I remember he referred to his movie as a “talkie”.

I will say that-in the style of Half Nelson-this is another classic case of Hollywood trying to sell gorgeous people playing world weary teachers, which is come ooooonnnnnnnnnuh such an eye roller. Christina Hendricks?!? Are you serious? I had an English teacher in 6th grade who was probably a 4 out of 10 for looks but she had enormous fake boobs, and my friends and I always used to be like, “Why is she a teacher with a rack like that??” 6th grade.
