Anakin Reese Conn Assignment 17

There is this loud bird outside my window, and no, closing it doesn't help.  It reminded me of the movie The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock, a movie where birds somehow cause a gas station to explode, and eat stuff because they're evil.  However, I couldn't think of a second Alfred Hitchcock movie, and I seriously don't want to make a Rotten Tomatoes account (my email is already linked to too many other things), so I will write a movie review through this blog post.  The movie I will review is simply named Rubber, and I will link the trailer here.  The movie is about a tire that inexplicably obtained sentience one day, and went on a rampage in a small town, killing people by exploding their heads with telekinesis, or what I call "mind-bullets".  No doubt that this movie has a similar concept to that of Hitchcock's The Birds, as both have something non-lethal become driven (pun?) to attack humans.  In this case, it is not only a tire, but a tire in a French Independent Film, meaning that it will be weird and unique in its own way, but not unique in the way that Ghost Shark, Sharkalanche, and Shark Exorcist are unique.  I couldn't sit through the entire movie, but of the 30 minutes I witnessed, the plot was better than Tremors, a movie that should be forgotten in the list of movies on Netflix, and the acting was bearable, but if you don't like a character, that character will die stupidly, just like everyone else does by the end of the movie.  The ending was akin to a Steven King story ending, in which the tire is thought to be killed, but instead makes every other tire in the area sentient, leaving the movie with a hoard of psychic tires rolling towards the next city to explode more heads.  The movie also has a part where the characters try to kill the audience in an attempt to end the movie, along with their suffering.  10/10 for movies of this genre, I need to buy a poster for this movie.
