The greatest Chapter 27 review yet..PAE.. feel that





This is the critique from the Utah Chronicle, probably the finest review er have found to date. Sent to us by our friends at nordbergstudios.com. That for keeping us posted on this one.

I want the shareholders of Peace Arch Entertainment, Jared Leto, and FireCrotch to really enjoy this one. Not to mention Jarrett Schaefer.

The Ugly (what better way to address Chapter 27)

For Jarrett Schaefer's "Chapter 27," Jared Leto put on 70 pounds to play Mark David Chapman, the man who shot and killed John Lennon in 1980. It's a full-bodied performance in every sense of the phrase; Leto wheezes and sinks into his doughy double-chin like a sunglasses-clad Stay-Puff Marshmallow-Man speaking whacked-out inner monologues in a breathy, one-note squeak that grates on the nerves. It's sad that Leto's commitment was wasted on a character that is so damned annoying.

Instead of approaching Chapman from a psychoanalytical perspective, Schaefer simply watches him during the week leading up to Lennon's murder. I understand that Schaefer is trying to make the point that we can't ever really understand why a person does something as insane as murdering another person in cold blood, but why pick someone as dull as Chapman to make this point? It's an approach that turns "Chapter 27" into a long slog through redundant schizophrenia and not much else.

HOW MUCH DID YOU ENJOY THAT....OH BABY....FEEL THAT

Here's the link for the entire article, its worth reading

Chapter 27 has about as much chance for distribution as Artie Lange has of living past 40.

PEACE
