For Your Anticipation: I Don't Want to Go Home

I won't just avoid hitting the topic head on, because I just plain hate Chris Weitz and what he has done to cripple pop-culture already. I'm not talking about his hack job of Twilight: New Moon, which was amusing on a pure unintentionally comedic level. I'm referring to how he botched The Golden Compass, straying away from the controversial elements instead of taking them on for all they could be. Now Weitz has A Better Life coming out, and some are hailing it as a "return to form" with ties to the classic Italian Neo-Realist piece The Bicycle Thief. Weitz's hand is far to deliberate and straightforward to truly deliver anything with deep emotional impact.
