Babel (R)

Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, that theme again about how all things are connected even when continents apart. The most important connection? That this was the worst pick possible for a Christmas Day 2006 movie viewing.

Steer clear. If you rent the DVD, keep your finger by the fast forward button. Theme about things being connected? Beaten to a bloody pulp with a healthy dose of random Japonese beaver.
